Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty enhances nasal aesthetics and function by reshaping the nose and improving breathing. Ideal for correcting structural issues or refining appearance, this procedure addresses humps, asymmetry, and deviated septums. Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery uses open or closed techniques tailored to individual anatomy, ensuring natural results that harmonize with facial features while restoring respiratory function.
Facelift
Facelift surgery lifts sagging facial tissues to reverse aging signs like jowls and neck laxity. Targeting deep plane layers, this procedure restores youthful contours through advanced techniques like SMAS tightening. Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery customizes approaches from mini-lifts to deep plane lifts, ensuring results that look refreshed rather than overdone while minimizing scarring and recovery time.
Injectables
Injectables offer minimally invasive facial rejuvenation through wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, and Kybella. These treatments address fine lines, volume loss, and submental fat without surgery. Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery tailors injectable regimens to enhance facial symmetry and youthfulness, providing immediate results with no downtime while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates tired eyes by removing excess skin and fat from upper/lower eyelids. This procedure corrects puffiness, bags, and drooping lids to create a rested appearance. Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery combines blepharoplasty with brow lifts when needed, ensuring comprehensive upper facial rejuvenation that enhances both aesthetics and peripheral vision.
Buccal Fat Pad Removal
Buccal fat removal sculpts the midface by reducing fullness in the cheeks. This procedure creates a more defined jawline and slimmer facial profile. Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery performs this as a standalone treatment or alongside facelifts, using precise techniques to maintain natural contours while achieving long-lasting facial slimming effects.
