Facial Rejuvenation
Blepharoplasty (Eye-lid lift)
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, removes excess skin and fat pads from around the eye lids. The shape of the eyelids may be rejuvenated, creating a more alert,
youthful, rested and pleasant appearance.

Chin Implant (Augmentation)
People with an underdeveloped chin or a short lower jaw often complain about a weak profile. Frequently, poor definition between the jaw and neck (a weak neck line) coexists.
A small chin may also appear pointy or short (in the vertical dimension). As a result, facial proportions are out of harmony, and this detracts from the attractiveness
of the appearance. Chin augmentation may be an excellent way to restore facial harmony and enhance the natural attractiveness of your face.

Ear Lobe Repair
Many people wear pierced earrings. Over time, heavy earrings can stretch the hole in the earlobe. Occasionally, hoop or large earrings can get pulled and this can also cause
stretching of the piercing or even a complete tear though the earlobe. In either case, the resulting earlobe may look unattractive. The lobe may no longer be able to support
pierced earrings, may only support hoop earrings, or the earrings may be malpositioned. Earlobe repair corrects all of these problems in just a few minutes.
Brow Lift
The effects of time and gravity cause the forehead to sag. As a result, the eyebrows flatten and descend causing excess skin to accumulate in the upper eyelids (hooding).
At the same time, wrinkles develop transversely across the forehead & across the bridge of the nose, and vertically between the eyebrows.
The forehead/brow lift corrects these problems and produces a youthful, alert, and attractive appearance, generally usually using a minimally invasive procedure.
Face Lift (Full)
A face lift removes excess skin and wrinkles, tightens weakened facial and neck muscles, and elevates deeper structures to a more youthful condition. Depending on your exact needs,
you can expect to see a rejuvenated forehead, eyes and cheeks. Your neck and jaw line will be more chiseled, and a double chin and jowls should be greatly improved or eliminated.
Face Lift (Cheek/ Mini)
Cheek or "Mini" Face Lift
Rhytidoplasty is the formal term for "face lift". This operation restores a more youthful appearance by lifting, tightening, and removing excess skin. The weakened muscular support
structures are also tightened, and excess fat is removed, repositioned, or sculpted to recreate a pleasing youthful appearance of the cheeks.
For the purpose of this discussion, a "mini"-face lift will be used interchangeably with cheek lift, and will be defined as surgical rejuvenation of the face bounded by the cheek bone
superiorly and the lower jaw inferiorly, the ear laterally, and the "marionette lines", medially. Other face lift components will be addressed in other sections.
Face Lift (Lower)
A lower face lift improves the appearance of your cheeks and neck by tightening the skin, lifting the deeper structures and removing fat in undesirable areas. Neck and jaw lines will
be more chiseled, and double chin and jowls should be greatly improved or eliminated. Deep creases from the nose to the corner of the mouth or jaw (nasolabial folds, or marionette lines)
will be eliminated or softened. Overall, you should expect a more youthful appearance.
For the purpose of this discussion, a lower face lift will be used interchangeably with cheek lift and neck lift. Generally, the lower face lift will be defined as surgical rejuvenation
of the face bounded by the cheek bone superiorly and the collar bone inferiorly, the ear laterally, and the "marionette lines", medially.
Face Lift, Female Neck (Only)
A neck lift improves the appearance of your neck by tightening the skin, lifting the deeper structures and sculpting undesirable fat. Neck and jaw lines will be more chiseled, and the
double chin should be greatly improved or eliminated. Your neck may appear longer and more graceful. Overall, you should expect a more youthful appearance.
Neck Liposuction
Liposuction of your neck will give your chin and jaw line a more defined and sculpted appearance. Your neck will also appear thinner and more graceful. In men, a more masculine or athletic
look is restored. In general, removing even small amounts of fat greatly improves the neck's appearance.
Otoplasty (Ear Pinning)
Otoplasty or ear pinning reduces the size of your ears, re-creates the delicate and intricate shape of the ears, improves symmetry between the ears, and brings the ears closer to the head.
The overall effect of otoplasty is to reduce the prominence of ears and to restore balance and harmony to the face. The result is enhanced natural attractiveness. Very frequently after
otoplasty, the patient reports greatly improved self-esteem and self-confidence. It is not unusual for hairstyles to change (no longer hiding the prominent ears) and even clothing styles to change.
Adults who have otoplasty usually say that they wish that they had had the procedure much earlier in their lives.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty or nose reshaping, may be designed to improve the appearance and/or function of the nose. It can straighten a crooked nose, remove a hump, fix a boxy/bulbous/poorly shaped or crooked
tip, shorten a long nose, and relieve breathing problems. Rhinoplasty brings the nose into harmony with the face and greatly enhances natural attractiveness of the face.
Additional procedures frequently performed at the same time as rhinoplasty include liposuction (chin/neck), chin implant, Coblation and face lift.
