Services
Asian Eyelid Surgery
Asian eyelid surgery creates a defined upper eyelid crease while preserving cultural identity. Ideal for patients with single or asymmetrical folds, this procedure addresses drooping skin and improves vision. Dr. Lay uses incision or suture techniques tailored to skin thickness and age, ensuring natural results. Patients report enhanced confidence and a youthful appearance.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty corrects protruding or misshapen ears for children and adults. Dr. Lay reshapes cartilage to achieve facial symmetry, using sutures or tissue removal. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, with recovery taking 7-10 days. Results are permanent, boosting self-esteem and reducing self-consciousness.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer restores facial volume using autologous fat from the body. Dr. Lay injects purified fat into cheeks, under eyes, or lips for a youthful contour. The Adivive System enhances fat survival, with results lasting years. Recovery involves minimal swelling, and PRP integration improves skin texture.
Ptosis Repair
Ptosis repair corrects drooping eyelids caused by weakened muscles. Dr. Lay tightens the levator tendon through an external or internal approach, improving vision and symmetry. Recovery includes temporary swelling, with full results visible after three months. The procedure is often combined with blepharoplasty.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to reshape the nose. Nurse Emily camouflages bumps or lifts the tip with Restylane, offering immediate, reversible results. The procedure takes 30 minutes, with swelling subsiding in weeks. Ideal for patients seeking subtle changes without surgery.
