Face Procedures

Cosmetic plastic surgery of the face can "turn back time" by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines, sun damage and sagging skin that can make you look angry, sad or tired. Listed below are some of the procedures we offer to help you look as young and energetic as you feel.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

Facelift Boca Raton | Delray Beach | Boynton Beach In time, gravity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life take their toll on our faces: deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jawline slackens, and folds and fat deposits appear on the neck. Facelifts counteract these problems by removing fat and tightening skin and muscles, giving your face a fresher, youthful look. After surgery, some patients appear 10-15 years younger.

The procedure can be combined with a browlift, eyelid surgery or nose reshaping for more dramatic results, or it can be restricted to the neck (necklift) if the patient's problems center there. Incisions are made in inconspicuous places such as behind the hairline and in natural folds of the face and ears, and scars fade to near invisibility in time. Results of a facelift do not last forever, but in another sense, the effects are permanent; years later, your face will continue to look better than if you had never had the procedure.

Mid-Facelifts With Suture Suspensions

With aging, the face takes on many changes; subtle at first, but very apparent as time marches relentlessly on. As the cheeks start their vertical descent, they drag other facial features along for the ride. Jowls appear where fresh, full skin once resided. Lower lids start to sag as do the eyebrows. The neck skin and muscles loosen, erasing the elegant lines and contours of the chin and jaw. The mid-facelift focuses on a triangular area formed between the two corners of the eye and the corner of the mouth. Technically, the mid-facelift is a lower eyelid tuck that is extended to the cheeks. The procedure takes about an hour, approximately one half the time for a classical facelift.

Endoscopic Browlifts

Endoscopic Browlifts Boca Raton | Delray Beach | Boynton Beach Browlifts can revitalize drooping or lined foreheads, helping you to look less angry, sad or tired. Using minimally invasive (endoscopic) methods, the muscles above the eyes are altered to smooth lines and raise the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance. The procedure is often combined with other operations such as blepharoplasty and facelifts to improve the look of the eyes and other areas of the face.

In a minimally invasive (endoscopic) browlift, the surgeon makes three to five short incisions; then an endoscope -- a slim instrument with a camera on the end -- is placed in one incision while the surgeon works through the other incisions.

Chin Implants

Chin implants reshape the chin to help provide a harmonious balance to the facial features. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin enhancement to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve a more satisfying facial proportion, since the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose and vice versa.

Micro-Fat Injections To Face

Micro-Fat injections is used as a natural filler to augment a person's lips and help reduce wrinkles, skin depressions and scarring. The treatment involves fat being removed from the patient's own body and then injected into specific areas of the face to achieve desired results. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and patients may return home the same day.

Lip Enhancement

Full and vivacious lips have always been recognized as aesthetically important features. Some of us, however, are born with thin, ill-defined lips, or our lips lose their fullness with age. But the appearance of our lips is now within our control. Fine lines and wrinkles, thin lips and a drooping corner of the mouth are all areas that can be aided with injectable fillers. The market is ever changing, with new products appearing rapidly. Care is individualized to provide a safe and effective treatment option.

Erbium Laser Resurfacing

The Erbium laser is the latest advance for the treatment of aging and sun-damaged skin. Erbium laser resurfacing is a procedure specifically designed to remove superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles on the face. The Erbium laser produces less heating or burning of surrounding tissues than other lasers used for resurfacing. This allows your doctor to gently and comfortably vaporize the damaged skin cells layer by layer. Most cases require only a local or topical anesthetic. Recent studies have shown that the Erbium laser stimulates the production of collagen, creating a tightening and smoothing of the skin.
