Rhinoplasty
Our rhinoplasty procedure reshapes the nose to achieve facial harmony while maintaining natural breathing function. Dr. Shahar specializes in both primary and revision surgeries using advanced techniques that minimize scarring. Patients benefit from personalized consultations that include 3D imaging to visualize potential outcomes.
Mini Facelift
This minimally invasive procedure addresses early signs of aging through small incisions that produce nearly invisible scars. Combines muscle tightening with fat grafting to restore facial volume, delivering natural-looking rejuvenation with one-week recovery time under local anesthesia.
Temporal Lift
Developed by Dr. Shahar, this office-based procedure lifts jowls and mouth lines through tiny ear-area incisions. Performed under local anesthesia with immediate return to daily activities, effectively delaying the need for more extensive facelift surgery.
Fat Injection
Autologous fat grafting restores facial volume using harvested body fat, providing longer-lasting results than synthetic fillers. The procedure simultaneously contours donor areas while rejuvenating facial features through strategically placed fat grafts.
Eyelid Surgery
Customized eyelid rejuvenation removes excess skin and fat deposits to eliminate tired appearances. Specialized techniques preserve natural eye characteristics, with particular expertise in maintaining ethnic features during Asian blepharoplasty procedures.
