What is a Facial Plastic Surgeon?


Facial Plastic surgeons may perform any or all of the following:


Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty (blef-a-roe-plasty) is surgery of the eyelids where fat and excess skin, bags, pouches, wrinkles in the eye areaare removed to make the eyes look less tired. Recovery time is approximately one week. Results: Lower lids, permanent; upper lids, ten years.


Forehead lift/forehead lift–or browlift– is surgery to minimize forehead lines and wrinkles, and elevate brows to reduce lid drooping and provide a refreshed appearance. Recovery time is about 10 days. Results: 10 years.

Chin augmentation or Genioplasty (jeen-e-o-plasty) or mentoplasty (men-to-plasty) is surgery to augment a small chin or reduce a prominent chin. Recovery time is about one week. Results: Permanent.


Skin resurfacing is where the outer layer of the skin may be removed with a laser (laser skin resurfacing), a liquid (chemical peel) or a spinning brush (dermabrasion) resulting in smoother and less wrinkled skin. Recovery time is about one to three weeks. Results: Generally permanent.


Our office also performs cosmetic procedure that are non surgical such as injectables:

Botulinum injections (BOTOX) - After years of laughing, crying and exposing other emotional facial expressions, many start to notice prominent wrinkles, particularly on the forehead, frown lines and crow's feet. Our office offers Botox treatments which utilizes a purified protein to aid in temporarily relaxing those overly used muscles. The improved facial lines and wrinkles will last from 4-6 months. 

Fillers- For those deep fold and furrows, commonly found on the cheek (smile lines), lips and back of the hands, our office offers Restylane, Radiesse, amd Juvederm treatment options. After treatment, your skin will appear naturally firmer and fuller, adding a new dimension to your appearance.
