How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?
Over time we develop frown line and crow’s feet as a result of repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting. Your surgeon will inject these muscles with Botox® which temporarily reduces muscle activity.

Eyelid surgery, also known as Blepharoplasty is a procedure used to improve the appearance of your eyelids. As you age, your eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. Consequently, excess fat has a tendency to gather below and above your eyelids. The result can be bags under your eyes, sagging eyebrows and droopy upper lids.

Not only do you look older, but your side (peripheral) vision can be reduced, especially the upper and outer parts of your field of vision. Eyelid surgery can make your eyes appear younger, more alert, and increase your safety by correcting reduced vision.

Eyelid surgery is a quick, outpatient procedure. For more information, contact us to set up a consultation.

Chin surgery, also known as Genioplasty or chin re-positioning is a procedure done to correct chin misalignment, chin excess, or receding chins. Genioplasty can be effective for those with a small or receding chin and can alter the structure of the face, providing proportional balance to other facial features. In certain instances a chin that seems too small may possibly make the nose appear overly long.​

Reshaping the chin can be accomplished either by using chin implants, or by re-positioning the bone supporting the chin. There are many types of implants available, manufactured from a variety of materials, including silicone or other substances. There is no available evidence to suspect that silicone implants cause any disease. Your surgeon will consult with you, and discuss recommendations for the type of implant to use.

During the procedure, an incision inside the lower lip or under the chin. The chin bone is re-positioned or an implant is placed through this incision. For more information, contact us to set up a consultation.

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure that can improve the position, shape, or proportion of the ear. Many times Otoplasty is performed to correct a birth defect in the ear structure that becomes more apparent with development. Otoplasty can also treat misshapen ears caused by injury. ​

The results of ear surgery is that it creates a natural shape, while aligning balance and proportion to the ears and face. If you or your child have protruding or disfigured ears that bother you, you may want to consider ear surgery. The correction of minor deformities can have significant benefits to self-esteem and appearance.

Some of the conditions Otoplasty can treat include:

• Dissatisfaction with a previous ear surgery
• Overly large ears which is a condition called macrotia
• Protruding ears that occur on one or both sides

As we age, our lips and other facial features can lose volume. Lip enhancement is a procedure that can give you fuller, plumper lips, reduce a long upper lip, decrease wrinkles around the mouth, or to improve the general appearance of your lips and smile. A long upper lip can impact your smile or general relaxed appearance by reducing the amount of teeth shown. Lip enhancement may be accomplished through nonsurgical or surgical procedures.

Lip enhancement is a quick, outpatient procedure and can be done alone or with other facial procedures, such as eyelid surgery.

Over time our body ages and fat deposits will settle in our cheeks, chin, and neck. Facial liposuction is a common and popular procedure designed for the permanent removal of fatty tissue. This minimally invasive procedure allows the surgeon to remove undesirable, subcutaneous fat in isolated areas that do not respond to diet and exercise.

The best results from facial liposuction occur in patients who have fatty deposits but good skin tone. Please note this is not a treatment for obesity and if weight gain occurs after liposuction, fat will be deposited in areas that have not been treated. Facial liposuction can be repeated if necessary with a limit on how much can be done during a single procedure. There are multiple factors that can affect the results including genetic makeup, physical condition, exercise, diet, alcohol intake, smoking, and skin elasticity.

Facial liposuction is performed under general anesthesia and involves the surgeon making a small (less than 1/2 inch), discreet incision or incisions in the face or neck. A cannula is then inserted into the incision and attached to a suction machine. This process generally takes an hour or more and the results are permanent. However, if you were to gain a significant amount of weight, you might notice rippling in the treated areas.

After liposuction, the scar will begin to heal and go through a maturation process. During the first two to three months the scars may be red and possibly raised. During the next six to twelve months the scars will become pale, flat, and soft. It is possible that you will experience numbness, burning, and/or tingling around the incision sites, however these symptoms are almost always temporary. At your consultation, please let us know if you are prone to keloid scars. For more information, contact us to set up a consultation.
