Facial procedures

A face lift is designed to reduce or improve signs of aging in the lower and middle areas of the face. This is achieved by removing excess facial fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of your face and neck.

Facial Implants are used to enhance certain features of the face. The surgery may be elective, or needed as the result of prior surgery on the face. Through a facial implant, an oral and maxillofacial plastic surgeon can aesthetically improve facial contours. They can improve proportion and profiles and correct imbalance caused by injury or hereditary traits.

A forehead lift or brow lift is a procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad or tired.

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. The operation is usually done on children between the ages of four and 14.

Neck lift surgery can correct visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of your neck. Good candidates have facial skin that has begun to sag, but also have some elasticity and bone structure that is strong and well-defined.

Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat--usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision.

Fat grafting with concentrated skin cells may restore volume and repair skin damage from aging. This procedure can also be combined with a face-lift to enhance and lengthen its effectiveness.

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone.
