Cheek Enhancement

Cheek enhancement is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to build up a person's cheekbones and thus bring a more desired balance to the face. A relatively flat cheekbone area can be enhanced or made more prominent with the insertion of cheek implants. The implants may be inserted in conjunction with other procedures, such as a facelift, or they may be inserted as a separate procedure.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear pinning, corrects the size or placement of an individual's ears. Otoplasty is generally performed on children ages of 4-14, as the ears finish growing by 4, and otoplasty can prevent adolescent ridicule, but the procedure is also performed on adults. Good otoplasty makes the ears more proportional to the size and shape of the head and face.

Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation creates fuller, plumper lips and reduces fine wrinkles around the mouth. Temporary solutions for lip augmentation are achieved through collagen, Restylane®, and fat injections, requiring repeat treatments to maintain lip augmentation, as the materials are readily absorbed into the body. Collagen used in lip augmentation generally lasts two to three months, and Restylane® lasts upwards of six months. While fat injections last slightly longer, a lip augmentation using fat injections can be more unpredictable, resulting in lumping and scarring. Other lip augmentation solutions involve the use of implants, either entirely synthetic materials, or lip augmentation inserts using some amount of donated skin.

Facial Liposuction

Facial liposuction removes excess fatty tissue in the face and can help tighten skin in treated areas. Facial liposuction can be used on its own or in conjunction with other plastic surgery treatments. Potential facial liposuction patients usually wish to eliminate problems such as double chins or saggy jowls, while some facial liposuction candidates are attempting to alter the overall fullness of their faces.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing, also known as "laser peel", can renew skin that has been damaged by chronic sun exposure, and can dramatically reduce skin wrinkling or facial scars and improve skin texture. We use an advanced dual pulsed-Erbium laser and CO-2 laser, which vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at precisely controlled levels of penetration. It is the most precise equipment available to resurface the skin.
