Key information
Surgical procedures that we offer
We specialize in a full range of facial plastic surgery interventions, tailored to meet the unique goals and needs of each patient. Our most commonly performed procedures include:
Our clinic specializes in both cosmetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery, utilizing advanced surgical techniques in a safe, comfortable setting.
Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
A facelift addresses deep wrinkles, jowls, and sagging skin in the lower face and neck. We offer different facelift techniques:
- Traditional Facelift: Tightens underlying muscle plane and removes excess skin for a comprehensive rejuvenation. This is achieved either via smasectomy or a deep plane facelift.
- Mini Facelift: Less invasive with quicker recovery, ideal for early signs of aging.
Neck Lift (Lower Rhytidectomy)
A neck lift can be done as an isolated procedure or is often performed alongside a facelift to treat sagging skin, vertical neck bands, and excess fat. It restores a defined jawline and smoother neck contour.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates tired-looking eyes by removing excess skin and fat from the eyelids:
- Upper Eyelid Surgery: Treats drooping eyelids that can impair vision or add a tired appearance.
- Lower Eyelid Surgery: Reduces puffiness, bags, or hollowness under the eyes.
Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
A brow lift raises sagging eyebrows and smooths forehead lines and creases between the brows. It opens up the eye area and softens a tired or stern expression. Approaches include:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Minimally invasive with small incisions.
- Direct Brow Lift and variants: A more traditional method for more significant correction.
Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) and reparation of torn earlobes
Otoplasty corrects protruding, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears, improving balance and proportion. It is commonly performed on children and adults for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons. Earlobe corrections are done frequently.
Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty) and profileplasty
A weak or recessed chin can affect overall facial balance. Chin augmentation with implants or bone reshaping improves profile definition and harmony, often performed alongside rhinoplasty for optimal results (profileplasty).
Cheek Augmentation
Loss of volume in the mid-face can cause a hollow or aged appearance. Cheek implants or fat grafting restore fullness and youthful contour to the cheek area.
Lip Surgey
We offer various techniques to enhance the lips:
- Lip Lift: Shortens the distance between the upper lip and nose to enhance lip shape and show more of the pink lip.
- Lip Augmentation: Increases volume and definition using dermal fillers or fat transfer.
- Lip Reduction: For patients with naturally large or asymmetrical lips, this procedure reduces lip volume while maintaining natural contours.
- Lip Repositioning: For gummy smile correction.
Buccal Fat Removal
This procedure removes fat pads from the lower cheeks to slim the face and enhance cheekbone definition. It’s ideal for patients seeking a more contoured facial appearance.
Skin Cancer Reconstruction
After the removal of skin cancer (such as Mohs surgery), facial reconstruction restores the form and function of affected areas, especially around delicate structures like the nose, lips, and eyelids.
Scar Revision
Surgical or non-surgical scar revision can improve the appearance of facial scars caused by injury, surgery, or acne, blending them more naturally into surrounding skin.
Facial Trauma Reconstruction
We provide surgical repair for facial fractures and soft tissue injuries, focusing on restoring function, symmetry, and aesthetics after trauma.
Fat Transfer (Facial Fat Grafting) and Nanofat grafting
This natural rejuvenation technique involves harvesting fat from another area of the body and injecting it into the face to restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, or under-eyes.
