Facelift
Facelift surgery reverses visible aging by lifting sagging facial tissues and removing excess skin. Dr. Gilpin specializes in advanced techniques like deep plane and MADE facelifts that restore youthful contours while maintaining natural expressions. Patients achieve long-lasting results that typically last 10-15 years, with options for combining with eyelid surgery or brow lifts for comprehensive rejuvenation. The procedure addresses jowls, deep nasolabial folds, and loss of facial definition.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty improves nasal proportions and function through precise cartilage and bone reshaping. Dr. Gilpin employs open rhinoplasty techniques to address complex concerns like dorsal humps, tip refinement, and breathing issues. His expertise ensures balanced results that harmonize with facial features while maintaining structural integrity. The procedure can correct congenital deformities, injury-related asymmetry, and functional breathing limitations through septal adjustments.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery rejuvenates tired, aged eyes by removing excess skin and fat deposits. Upper blepharoplasty addresses hooded lids, while lower blepharoplasty eliminates under-eye bags and dark circles. Dr. Gilpin's technique preserves natural eyelid function while creating refreshed, alert appearances. The procedure often combines with brow lifts or non-surgical treatments for comprehensive upper facial rejuvenation.
Neck Lift
Neck lift surgery tightens loose skin and muscles while removing excess fat to restore a defined jawline. Dr. Gilpin performs full neck lifts for severe sagging and liposuction-only procedures for fat reduction. The treatment addresses 'turkey neck' appearance and vertical muscle bands, creating smoother transitions between face and neck. Results enhance overall facial profile definition.
Brow Lift
Brow lift surgery elevates drooping eyebrows and smooths forehead wrinkles for a more youthful upper face. Dr. Gilpin offers endoscopic and traditional techniques to address varying degrees of sagging. The procedure opens up tired eyes, reduces frown lines, and creates balanced proportions between eyebrows and eyelids. Results appear natural while restoring energetic facial expressions.
