Eyelid Lift
Eyelid surgery removes
the excess fat and wrinkled, droopy skin of the upper eyelids. It also
eliminates bags under the eyes and tightens the lower eyelid skin. Eyelid
surgery helps to eliminate the appearance of being constantly tired, resulting
in a more youthful and rested appearance.
Face Lift
The face lift procedure
restores a more youthful contour to the face and neck. A face lift smooths
loose skin, tightens underlying tissues and muscles, and removes excess
fat. The results may be dramatic or subtle, depending on the patient's
appearance before surgery and on the desired goals. Incisions are inside
and behind the ears, so as to be hidden from view.
Forehead Lift
A forehead lift corrects
the sagging or low position of the eyebrows. It also softens creases across
the forehead and frown lines between the brows. The result is a more relaxed
and refreshed appearance. Tiny incisions are hidden within the hair, and
no scalp or hair is removed.
Skin Resurfacing
Laser or chemical skin
resurfacing reverses the effect of aging, sun exposure, and hereditary and
lifestyle factors that contribute to facial wrinkling and pigmentary changes
of the skin. Skin resurfacing can smooth wrinkles, reduce brown spots, and
improve overall texture and appearance of skin for a healthier and younger
appearance.
Rhinoplasty
(Nose Reshaping)
Rhinoplasty can reduce
the nasal profile, change the angle between the nose and upper lip and reshape
the nasal tip. The goal of rhinoplasty is a natural looking nose that "fits"
with the rest of the face by enhancing the balance between the nose and
other facial features. Incisions are usually made inside the nose, and therefore
invisible.
Cheek Implants
Cheekbones may be built
up by placing an implant over them. The resulting enhancement of the cheek
"highlight" area can be subtle or dramatic, according to your desire, and
the incisions are inside the mouth so there is no scar.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation can
strengthen the appearance of a receding chin by increasing its projection.
Simultaneously, it can create better harmony between the nose and other
facial features for a more balanced and attractive profile.
Lip Enlargement
Lips can be made larger
and fuller by using lip tissue itself or by inserting implants or grafts.
Either the upper or lower or both lips can be permanently enhanced.
Prominent Ear
Correction
Ear surgery improves
the shape and position of ears that are large in proportion to other features
or protrude more than normal. It can be performed at any age, from 4 up,
and recontours the ears to bring them into correct position. Incisions
are on the back of the ears, and therefore inconspicuous.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation
can improve breast size and shape, and give a more proportioned figure.
Saline-filled implants are placed to make breasts fuller and enhance their
shape, and make it easier to wear certain styles of clothing. Incision
can be made high in the arm pit, in a skin crease, so that there is no
scar on the chest.
Breast Lift
A breast lift will
make breasts firmer and more uplifted. The position of the nipples is
enhanced if they point downward. The result is a more youthful contour
and appearance.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction proportions
breasts to the rest of the body, and can provide relief from physical
symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain and rashes beneath the
breasts caused by the excessive weight of large breasts. Following breast
reduction the size and weight of the breasts no longer interfere with
physical activity, and clothes fit better with a wider choice of styles.
Liposuction
Liposuction reduces
isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of the body to appear
disproportionate. It permanently removes fatty deposits that create unflattering
bulges, and it is the only way to eliminate localized collections of fat
that do not respond to diet and exercise. Tiny incisions are within natural
creases or hidden in inconspicuous sites.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or
abdominoplasty, enhances body contour by making the abdomen firmer and flatter.
It benefits loose, flaccid abdominal skin and fat, and can tighten muscles
that have been separated and weakened by pregnancy.
