PLASTIC Surgery
Face
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical technique aimed at removing excess skin and/or fat from the upper eyelids, effectively restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the eyes. Whether you're bothered by droopy eyelids that make you appear tired or aged beyond your years, or you're experiencing impaired vision due to sagging skin, this procedure can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits. By eliminating the excess tissue that weighs down the upper eyelids, upper blepharoplasty can help open up the eyes, creating a more alert and vibrant look.
Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical technique aimed at addressing various aesthetic concerns affecting the lower eyelids, such as under-eye bags, puffiness, and wrinkles. By removing excess skin, redistributing or removing fat deposits, and tightening the underlying muscles, this procedure can effectively rejuvenate the appearance of the lower eyelids, helping you look more rested and vibrant. Whether you're bothered by visible signs of aging or you simply want to enhance your overall appearance, lower blepharoplasty can provide dramatic results that leave you feeling more confident and rejuvenated.
Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure that can dramatically transform the appearance of the nose and improve its function. Whether you're unhappy with the size or shape of your nose, or you're experiencing breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum, rhinoplasty can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits. By reshaping the nasal structure, reducing or augmenting nasal size, and correcting structural abnormalities, this procedure can help you achieve a more balanced and attractive facial profile while also addressing any breathing issues you may have.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a liquid rhinoplasty, is an increasingly popular option for individuals seeking to enhance the appearance of their nose without undergoing surgery. This technique involves strategically injecting dermal fillers into specific areas of the nose to correct imperfections such as bumps, asymmetry, or a drooping tip. By adding volume and contouring the nose, injectable fillers can create a more balanced and harmonious facial profile, resulting in a subtle yet noticeable improvement in overall appearance.
A facelift is a surgical procedure that targets common signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls by tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin. By lifting and repositioning the facial tissues, a facelift can restore a smoother, firmer appearance to the lower face and neck, rejuvenating your overall facial contour. Whether you're bothered by deep facial lines, loose skin, or a loss of definition in the jawline, a facelift can provide dramatic results that turn back the hands of time and enhance your natural beauty.
A necklift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that targets common signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls in the neck area. By tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin, a necklift can rejuvenate the appearance of the neck, creating a smoother, firmer contour. Whether you're bothered by turkey neck, loose skin, or vertical bands, a necklift can provide dramatic results that enhance your overall facial profile and restore confidence in your appearance.
A necklift, versus products and other non-surgical treatments, offers more comprehensive and enduring rejuvenation by addressing the underlying causes of neck aging. With proper care and maintenance, the results of a necklift can last for many years, allowing you to enjoy a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck contour well into the future.
A browlift is like a mini makeover for your forehead, targeting common signs of aging such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and drooping eyebrows. By lifting and repositioning the brow tissues, a browlift can create a smoother, firmer forehead contour and elevate the eyebrows to a more youthful position. Whether you're bothered by forehead wrinkles, hooded brows, or a tired appearance, a browlift can provide dramatic results that enhance your overall facial profile and restore confidence in your appearance.
While non-surgical treatments such as Botox / Dysport and dermal fillers can temporarily improve the appearance of forehead wrinkles and brow drooping, a browlift offers more comprehensive and enduring rejuvenation by addressing the underlying causes of forehead aging. With proper care and maintenance, the results of a browlift can last for many years, allowing you to enjoy a smoother, firmer, and more youthful forehead contour well into the future.
CO2 LASER RESURFACING - Our CO2 laser resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes targeted laser energy to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. This CO2 Laser Resurfacing treatment is perfect for individuals looking to address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and sun damage. By precisely targeting and removing damaged skin cells, laser resurfacing stimulates the body's natural healing process, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin with improved tone and texture.
Liposuction to Submentum, also known as neck liposuction, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from the neck and submental area. This procedure targets stubborn pockets of fat that may be resistant to diet and exercise, helping to sculpt and contour the neck for a more defined and youthful appearance. Whether you're bothered by a double chin or excess fat beneath the jawline, liposuction to submentum can provide dramatic results that enhance your overall facial profile and restore confidence in your appearance.
Facial fat grafting offers a versatile solution for addressing various aesthetic concerns, including volume loss, wrinkles, and hollowed areas of the face. By utilizing your body's own fat cells, this procedure can restore lost volume, improve facial contours, and rejuvenate the skin for a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Whether you're bothered by sunken cheeks, thin lips, or deep facial lines, facial fat grafting can provide natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial harmony and restore confidence in your appearance.
Unlike synthetic fillers, which may require regular touch-ups to maintain results, fat grafting utilizes your body's own tissue, resulting in a more permanent enhancement that integrates seamlessly with your natural facial contours. Additionally, fat grafting offers the added benefit of improving skin quality and texture, as the transferred fat contains stem cells and growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and collagen production.
A lip lift is an ideal solution for individuals seeking to enhance the shape and proportion of their lips while achieving a more youthful and attractive appearance. This procedure involves making a small incision at the base of the nose, allowing the plastic surgeon to lift and reshape the skin to expose more of the upper lip. By shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip, a lip lift creates the illusion of fuller lips and restores balance to the facial features. Whether you're bothered by a thin upper lip, an elongated philtrum, or signs of aging around the mouth, a lip lift can provide dramatic results that enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence.
Platysmaplasty is an ideal solution for individuals seeking to address concerns such as sagging skin, jowls, and excess fat in the neck area. This procedure involves making a small incision under the chin, allowing our plastic surgeon, Dr. David Hill, to access and tighten the muscles and remove excess fat for a more sculpted and defined neck contour. By contouring the lower cheeks, jawline, and neck, platysmaplasty can create a more harmonious and youthful appearance, restoring confidence in your overall facial aesthetics.
Chin augmentation offers a versatile solution for individuals seeking to enhance the appearance of their chin and achieve facial harmony. This procedure can be performed using a synthetic implant or by reshaping the bone to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. The implant is typically inserted through a small incision either under the chin or inside the mouth, allowing the plastic surgeon to enhance the projection and contour of the chin for a more balanced and proportionate facial profile.
A main advantage of a chin augmentation is its ability to provide long-lasting results that enhance your facial contours and restore facial balance. Whether you choose a synthetic implant or bone reshaping technique, chin augmentation offers a permanent solution to address a weak or receding chin. Additionally, by improving the projection and definition of the chin, this procedure can enhance the overall harmony and proportion of the face, helping you achieve a more attractive and confident appearance.
Earlobe repair offers a versatile solution for individuals seeking to restore the appearance and functionality of their earlobes. This procedure involves removing the damaged tissue and suturing the edges of the tear together to create a more aesthetically pleasing and functional earlobe. Whether you're bothered by a torn earlobe, stretched piercing, or elongated earlobe due to heavy earrings or gauges, earlobe repair can provide dramatic results that restore symmetry and balance to your ears.
This procedure reshapes the ears to improve their appearance. This can include reducing the size of large or protruding ears, correcting asymmetry, or improving the overall shape and position of the ears.
Breast
Breast augmentation involves the placement of implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts, creating a more proportionate and balanced appearance.

Body Countouring
Body liposuction offers a versatile solution for individuals seeking to address localized areas of excess fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

By targeting specific areas of concern, body liposuction can sculpt and contour the body, creating a more streamlined and toned appearance. Additionally, body liposuction can be combined with other procedures such as tummy tuck or breast augmentation to achieve comprehensive body contouring results.

This procedure is ideal for individuals who have a small amount of excess fat and loose skin below the belly button, often caused by factors such as pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging.

Aveli offers a non-surgical and minimally invasive alternative to traditional cellulite reduction methods, such as creams or massages, which may provide limited or temporary results. This procedure works by precisely targeting the fibrous bands beneath the skin's surface, which pull down on the skin and create the characteristic dimpled appearance of cellulite. By breaking down these bands, Aveli helps to smooth out the skin's surface and reduce the visible signs of cellulite, resulting in a more toned and contoured appearance.
Renuvion offers a non-surgical and minimally invasive alternative to traditional skin tightening procedures, such as facelifts or tummy tucks, which may involve extensive downtime and recovery.

By promoting collagen remodeling, Renuvion helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
