Services
Facelift
A surgical procedure to address facial aging by tightening skin and underlying tissues for a rejuvenated appearance. Ideal for correcting sagging jowls, deep creases, and loose neck skin, this treatment restores youthful contours through discreet incisions. Patients benefit from natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony while maintaining their unique identity.
Rhinoplasty
Customized nasal reshaping to improve aesthetic proportions and/or correct functional breathing issues. Addresses concerns like dorsal humps, crookedness, and tip definition using open or closed techniques. Achieves balanced results that complement overall facial features while preserving structural integrity and respiratory function.
Botox
Minimally invasive wrinkle reduction through targeted muscle relaxation injections. Treats forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines with visible smoothing effects within days. Provides temporary results lasting 3-6 months while maintaining natural facial expressions and preventing new line formation.
Blepharoplasty
Corrects droopy upper lids and under-eye bags by removing excess skin and fat deposits. Restores alert appearance through precise incisions that minimize scarring while improving peripheral vision obstructed by heavy eyelids. Combines cosmetic enhancement with functional benefits.
Laser Treatments
Advanced laser technology to address sun damage, acne scars, and uneven texture. Utilizes fractional CO2 and Erbium YAG systems for controlled collagen stimulation and skin renewal. Treats multiple concerns in sessions lasting 30-90 minutes with progressive improvement over several weeks.

Questions
What differentiates a facial plastic surgeon from a general plastic surgeon?
Facial plastic surgeons complete additional fellowship training focused exclusively on facial anatomy. This specialization ensures deeper expertise in both surgical and non-surgical facial treatments while maintaining functional integrity.
How long do facelift results typically last?
Results generally persist 7-10 years depending on skin quality and lifestyle factors. The procedure slows visible aging but doesn't stop natural collagen loss over time.
Can Botox prevent wrinkles?
Yes, preventative Botox injections can delay wrinkle formation by limiting repetitive muscle contractions that cause dynamic lines around the eyes and forehead.
What's the recovery time for eyelid surgery?
Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days. Initial swelling subsides in 1-2 weeks with final results becoming apparent after three months as tissues settle.
Are non-surgical nose jobs effective?
Liquid rhinoplasty using dermal fillers can address minor asymmetries and contour irregularities without surgery. Results last 6-18 months depending on product used and individual metabolism.
Does insurance cover rhinoplasty?
Functional rhinoplasty addressing breathing impairments may qualify for coverage. Cosmetic nose reshaping remains an out-of-pocket expense requiring pre-authorization verification.
