Definitions:

• Facelift:  Facelift surgery provides elevation of the cheeks, jowls and neck counteracting the affects of aging, gravity and the effects of sun exposure on skin elasticity.  Facelifts are an important tool  to provide facial rejuvenation.  Facelift incisions can be designed to camouflage the fact that you have undergone facial rejuvenation while still permitting elevation of droopy cheeks and necks.
• Browlift:  Browlifts are performed to reshape and elevate the eyebrows with the added benefits of improving the appearance of the eyes and reducing wrinkles present between the eyebrows and on the forehead.
• Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery:  Blepharoplasty is performed for removal of extra skin and fat hanging over the upper eyelids and bags from beneath the eyes.
• Rhinoplasty: Nose reshaping is a plastic surgery performed to provide better balance between the nose and the rest of the patient's face (often combined with improvement of the breathing passages to reduce nasal stuffiness and sinus headaches).
• Liposuction and fat injection:  These plastic surgical procedures are used to add or remove fat from areas of the face and neck to enhance and sculpt facial features.   Lip augmentation and filling of the lines between nose and mouth (nasolabial lines) with fat are two ancillary plastic surgical procedures that can soften and feminize the face.
• Buccal Fat Pad Excision of the Cheeks  This removes a portion of the fat contained inside the cheek to reduce the chipmunk pouch area. 

Facial Plastic Surgery includes enhancement of the forehead, brows, upper and lower eyelids, nose, chin and neck.  These are procedures undertaken to make your eyes look more well rested and alert, your face more youthful and bright, and to resculpt your nose, cheeks, chin and neck to restore a more youthful and aesthetically balanced face. Please look at some of our before and after photos which will show you the benefits of a wide range of  procedures that will likely be of interest to you.  Remember, many of these procedures may be done alone, or as is increasingly popular amongst today's busier patients, may be combined to accomplish maximal improvement with a single recovery period away from work.
