Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty corrects nasal imperfections while improving breathing function. Our Buffalo practice addresses crookedness, bumps, and deviated septums using advanced techniques. Patients receive customized surgical plans emphasizing facial harmony. Recovery includes temporary swelling with final results emerging after 6-12 months. Dr. Sherris combines artistic vision with structural expertise to create balanced, natural-looking outcomes that enhance both appearance and respiratory function.
Facelift
Facelift surgery restores youthful contours by addressing sagging skin and deep wrinkles. Our approach targets mid and lower face laxity through deep plane techniques when needed. Procedures often combine with eyelid surgery or injectables for comprehensive rejuvenation. Recovery involves 2-3 weeks of swelling reduction, with results lasting 7-10 years. Dr. Sherris prioritizes natural tensioning to avoid over-pulled appearances while restoring confident self-images.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty corrects droopy upper lids and puffy under-eye bags to create alert, youthful eyes. Our Buffalo surgeons perform upper, lower, or combined procedures with careful attention to natural crease preservation. Surgery takes 45-90 minutes under local or general anesthesia. Recovery features 1-2 weeks of swelling, with permanent skin tightening results. Many patients combine this with brow lifts for enhanced facial rejuvenation outcomes.
Injectables
Injectable treatments smooth wrinkles and restore facial volume without surgery. Our Buffalo office offers BOTOX, dermal fillers, and Sculptra to address dynamic lines and volume loss. Treatments take 15-60 minutes with immediate results lasting 3-24 months depending on product. Dr. Sherris personally administers most injectables to ensure precise placement. These services work synergistically with surgical options for comprehensive facial rejuvenation tailored to individual aging patterns.
BOTOX
BOTOX Cosmetic injections temporarily reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements. Our Buffalo practice uses this FDA-approved treatment for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. Effects appear within 3-7 days, peaking at 2 weeks with results lasting 3-6 months. Dr. Sherris employs strategic dosing to maintain natural expressions while softening age-related lines. Regular maintenance preserves youthful appearance with minimal downtime.

Questions
Does insurance cover rhinoplasty?
Insurance may cover functional aspects like deviated septum correction when combined with cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic rhinoplasty alone remains patient-pay.
What differentiates a mini facelift from a full facelift?
Mini facelifts target lower face sagging with smaller incisions, while full facelifts address broader facial laxity including mid-face and neck areas.
How long do injectable results last?
BOTOX effects last 3-6 months, while hyaluronic acid fillers last 6-18 months. Sculptra provides 2-year results through collagen stimulation.
What rhinoplasty recovery timeline should I expect?
Initial swelling subsides in 2 weeks, with full resolution taking 6-12 months. Stents are removed after 5-7 days, and final results become apparent as healing progresses.
Can blepharoplasty improve vision?
Yes, upper eyelid surgery often enhances peripheral vision by removing skin obstructing the visual field, with patients reporting improved sight post-recovery.
