A Facelift can dramatically enhance the overall appearance of the face, giving it a youthful look by removing excess skin and fat. It is very effective in eliminating the jowls and some wrinkles of the mid- and lower-face. Blepharoplasty and forehead lift can also be incorporated to this procedure to achieve total face rejuvenation.

 

Age: 54
Notes: This 54-year old woman felt her upper eyelids were heavy, the neck was fatty and her lower face had some jowls. She had upper eyelid blepharoplasty, neck liposuction and facelift. The combined results gave the patient a much more youthful look.

A Browlift is designed to reduce the wrinkles of the forehead and between the brows, and to raise the position of the brows. This "opens" the eye area and results in a much more alert and pleasant appearance. This procedure is often combined with blepharoplasty and/or facelift.

 

This middle-aged 45 year old woman disliked her fatty deposit at her neck area. She had good skin elasticity and her face did not have any sagging. She did not need a full facelift. Limited liposuction under local anesthesia with removal of 25 cc of fat at her neck area achieved what she was looking for with minimal down time from work.

Rhinoplasty, or the nose job, varies from simple removal of a hump to extensive reshaping of the dorsum and tip of the nose. It can also be combined with septoplasty to improve breathing difficulty.
 

Age: 24
Note: She disliked the hump and the width of her nose. Limited rhinoplasty with shaving of the dorsum and infracturing to reduce the nasal side wall were done.

Otoplasty is correcting of ear deformity. The most common deformity is the protruding ear. Individuals, especially children, with this problem often are often ridiculed and self conscious. We can help.
 

This 24 year old woman has been quite self-conscious with her prominent ears. The ears protruded because of over-projection of the concha cartilage. The correction involved removal of excess skin and cartilage from the ears. The scars were behind the ears and well hidden. The surgery successfully reduced the projection of the ears.

Cheek and Chin implants improve the contour of the cheek bone and chin. These procedures can be performed alone or in combination with others.

 

This 45 year old woman felt her chin is "weak" and this make her nose seem over-projecting. The chin augmentation is performed through an incision inside the lower lip. The chin augmentation made her lower face much better balanced with the upper face. She is very happy with the results. Implants: 1.2 cm thickness anatomic chin implant.
