The forehead lift or brow lift is designed to elevate the eyebrows and reduce frown lines.
This results in a more youthful expression by opening the eyes and removing the brow heaviness.
Lifting this tissue can help some people improve their vision if heavy tissue hangs down over the eyes.
This procedure can be performed alone or combined with a facelift, blepharoplasty, or other procedures as desired.
A variety of techniques are available and consultation is necessary for selection of the most appropriate technique.

When we interact with others, eye contact is perhaps the most important way we express ourselves.
Bright open eyes convey alertness, vigor, and youth.
However, eyes that sag due to excess skin or are puffy due to excess fat convey a tired, older appearance even though you may feel energetic and rested.
The blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can improve these problems.
Two problems seen in aging eyelids cannot be corrected by blepharoplasty alone; dark circles and wrinkles due to skin texture.
For the upper eyelids the incision line is placed at the natural eyelid crease.

Of all the cosmetic procedures performed today, rhinoplasty requires the highest sense of artistry.
By sculpting a natural-looking nose, facial harmony is enhanced and attention is drawn to the most important facial feature - the eyes.
The nose is a complex structure of interconnecting segments of bone and cartilage.
It is important that the patient and surgeon work together to understand the desired result and reach a precise plan.
If needed, Computer imaging is employed as a tool to help facilitate this communication.

As we age, our faces change due to gravity, atrophy of the facial skeleton and facial muscle, and due to fat loss.
Many people may notice that the philtrum, the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip, increases.
Many times people will come to our office asking for more volume in the upper lip.
While increasing lip volume can improve the look of the upper lip, often the patient will find that decreasing the length of the philtrum, also known as a lip lift, in conjunction with adding lip volume will achieve the results that they are looking for.

Cosmetic ear surgery is probably not the most common surgery done in most Facial Plastic Surgery offices, but otoplasty can make some of the most significant differences in how people live the rest of their lives.
Most congenital ear malformations occur causing small shape changes in the ear, which have the net effect of making the ears protrude from the side of the head.
Until children reach the age of five or six when they come in contact with other kids their age it is not a problem.
Peer pressure can be devastating to self esteem and self image of developing children.
