Balances the face, and in some cases, may be performed with other facial procedures or part of a facial reconstruction.

Improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.

Rhytidectomy has become the third most desired facial cosmetic surgical procedure in the U.S. While called a face lift, it actually involves only the lower third of your face.

A face lift cannot stop aging; however, it can improve the visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying tissue, and re-draping the skin of the face and neck for both women and men.

Balances and proportions the structural appearance of the face.

Age, sun exposure and smoking can all accelerate damage of the skin. As the skin deteriorates, the collagen and elastin fibers loosen, leading to both coarse and fine wrinkles. There are many treatment options for skin rejuvenation, but the gold standard remains laser skin resurfacing.

A forehead lift or browlift is a procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad, or tired.

The normal amount of body hair for women varies. Most of the time, a woman only has fine hair, or peach fuzz, above the lips and on the chin, chest, abdomen, or back. If you have coarse, dark hairs in these areas, the condition is called hirsutism. Such hair growth is more typical of men.

Improves the appearance and proportion of the nose. It can correct a breathing problem associated with the nose.

Neck lifts improve how a jawline and neck looks by treating loose skin, and excess fatty deposits, or fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls.

A cheek lift, reduces the appearance of smile lines, wrinkles and sagging on the face.
