Facelift
As
we age, our facial skin loosens
and wrinkles, and the muscles of
the neck may weaken as well.
Anything that will cause the
skin to lose elasticity will
hasten the process, including
sun exposure, weight
fluctuations and heredity. A
facelift can address these
problems by firming and
tightening the skin of the face
and neck all in one step... more

Upper
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
One
of the most frequently performed surgical
procedures, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is
used to remove the fat deposits, loose skin
and drooping on that may form around the upper
eyelids with age. Heredity and sun damage can
accelerate these changes. Younger people also
elect to have this procedure done to eliminate
puffiness of the eyes from congenital excess
fatty tissue or muscle hyperactivity. Upper lid blepharoplasty can

Forehead
Lift
As
we age, our facial skin loosens and wrinkles,
causing drooping brows as well as creases and
lines that can make us appear angry, sad, old
or tired. Anything that will cause the skin to
lose elasticity will hasten the process,
including sun exposure, weight fluctuations
and heredity. A forehead lift can address
these problems by surgically altering the
muscles and tissues that cause wrinkling
and/or drooping in the area above the eyes... more

Skin
Injection
Treatments
Almost everyone has skin
imperfections of some kind. But for some
people, wrinkles, acne scars, or scars from injuries
are uncomfortably
noticeable. In the past, there was no
practical option for removing or reducing such
surface imperfections. However, today a number
of different methods can be employed to produce
smooth and attractive facial skin.. more

Neck
Liposuction
As
we age, certain areas of the body can
accumulate fat that is hard to lose, in spite
of a healthy diet and vigorous exercise. The
neck is one such area.
Fatty deposits in the neck can detract from
the appearance of the entire body, making a
younger person seem older, or a fit person
seem out of shape. Liposuction can give this
area a new streamlined contour, enhancing the
effect of facial features and improving the
profile... more

array of methods and materials
is available
to restore a smooth and youthful
appearance to aging skin. Injectable

Botox
treatments are becoming increasingly popular,
and with good reason. Botox can be used to
smooth wrinkles in the neck and face to create
a more youthful appearance. It is especially
useful in the eye area. Removing wrinkles from

person’s look from one of permanent anger or
sadness to one of contentment and
restedness...

Skin
resurfacing with laser or radiofrequency
As
we age, the effects of sun damage and
environmental pollutants begin to take their
toll on our skin, creating lines and wrinkles
on our faces. Laser and radiofrequency
(coblation) resurfacing can help
minimize fine lines as they begin to occur,
particularly those that form around the mouth
and eyes.
Laser and radiofrequency resurfacing are relatively new methods of
improving skin texture and appearance... more

designed to promote cell growth and produce
smoother, clearer skin... more

Ear
Correction (Otoplasty)
For
many adults and children, having large ears
leads to ridicule, poor adaptation to school,
and/or extreme self-consciousness. Otoplasty
is a procedure used to reduce large or
protruding ears by setting the ears back
closer to the head as well as molding, shaping
and/or removing cartilage. This procedure can
be performed at any age after the ears have
reached (or nearly reached) their full size,
which is around 5 to 6 years of age... more

Microdermabrasion
is a quick, non-invasive procedure used to
resurface the skin. It is sometimes called a
“lunchtime peel. This relatively new
procedure gently removes only the very top
layers of damaged skin by “sand blasting”
them with tiny crystals. The technique
exfoliates and gently resurfaces the skin,
promoting the formation of new smoother,
clearer skin... more
