Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, is a procedure that can improve the appearance and function of the nose.

During your initial consultation, we will listen to your concerns and goals and help determine the best approach for your unique presentation. Our surgeon uses advanced techniques to provide a natural-looking result that complements your facial features while also optimizing nasal function.

Our skilled surgeons offer customized rhinoplasty procedures that address individual concerns and goals. Some common reasons for considering rhinoplasty include:

- Aesthetic concerns

- Breathing difficulties

- Congenital defects or trauma that have affected the appearance or function of the nose

Facial Reconstructive Surgery

Facial reconstructive surgery involves repairing damage to the face caused by trauma, birth defects, or disease. This type of surgery can help improve both appearance and function and may involve various techniques, including chemical peels, dermabrasion or surgery.

Some common types of facial reconstructive surgery include:

- Scar revision

- Skin cancer removal and reconstruction

- Facial trauma repair

Our experienced surgeon works closely with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and concerns.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery can help improve the appearance of the eyes and sometimes improve vision. This surgical procedure can address various concerns, such as puffy eyelids and excess skin.

Blepharoplasty can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat through well-hidden incisions to achieve an overall more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Brow and Forehead Lift

Brow and forehead lifts are surgical procedures that can help address concerns such as sagging eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and hooding of the upper eyelids. This type of surgery can help give a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the forehead and brow area.

The surgery may be performed endoscopically through an incision hidden in the scalp or through an incision either at the hairline or just above the brow line. The eyebrows and forehead skin will then be lifted and repositioned to achieve a smoother and more lifted appearance.

Cosmetic Ear Surgery

Otoplasty

Otoplasty is a procedure designed to address concerns such as prominent ears, ear asymmetry, or misshapen ears due to injury or birth defects. During an otoplasty procedure, the surgeon reshapes and repositions the ear cartilage to achieve a more natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The incisions are made behind the ear or within the ear's creases to minimize scarring.

Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair is a procedure aimed at improving the appearance of stretched or torn earlobes, which can result from trauma, piercing, or aging. Whether you are looking to repair a torn earlobe or reduce the appearance of stretched earlobes, we offer personalized treatment options to help you achieve your desired results.

EarWell® is a non-surgical infant ear molding system that can help correct ear deformities in infants. This innovative system uses a custom-fitted device that is applied to the infant's ear to gently reshape the cartilage as it grows. The EarWell® system can be used for a range of ear deformities, including cupped ears, Stahl's ear, prominent ears, and lop ears. EarWell® must be applied early in a child’s life, with optimal results occurring in infants less than 3 weeks old. https://www.earwells.com/

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical option to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance. These injectable treatments can help fill in wrinkles and fine lines, add volume to the cheeks and lips, and smooth out the contours of the face. They are a popular option for those who want to achieve a more youthful appearance without undergoing surgery.

BOTOX® is a non-surgical treatment that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by facial expressions. This injectable treatment can help improve the appearance of crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.

Our experienced surgeon can treat various benign and malignant lesions of the face. We work closely with patients to provide a comprehensive evaluation and develop a customized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs.
