A procedure used to reduce, enhance, or otherwise augment a "weak" chin to achieve a stronger profile or more balanced facial features. Often used as part of a comprehensive facial plastic surgery plan that includes nose surgery (rhinoplasty).

A procedure designed to reduce the size of large ears or allow them to lie closer to the head. Having overly protruding ears can be a source of teasing for children and self-consciousness for adults. Otoplasty involves adjusting the shape of the cartilage of the ear in patients whose ears protrude from the side of the head, which allows folds to be created which make the ear lie close to the side of the head. Otoplasty surgery can involve a combination of moving, reshaping, adding, or removing elements of the ear’s structure. more...
A surgical procedure designed to make the face appear more youthful by lifting up the facial skin and tissues and/or the underlying muscle, to make the face tauter and smoother. With age or excessive sun exposure, wrinkled creased skin can develop on the face, neck or forehead along with fat deposits and folds around the jaws and jowls. Face lift surgery cannot stop the aging process, but can improve the appearance, making patients look younger. The aim of a face lift is to make you "look good for your age", with a natural, more youthful appearance and should not produce a tight "windblown" looking face. The results of a facelift procedure will be good if you have good skin tone, your skin has not lost its elasticity and moves and stretches easily. more...

A procedure to enhance the fullness of lips. Like the rest of our skin, our lips loose collagen and fat during the aging process. Other factors which accelerate the signs of aging around the lips include smoking and sun exposure. Lip augmentation is an ideal procedure for patients who have always had naturally thin lips that they are self-conscious about, and also for those who want to return their lips to the shape and fullness they had when they were younger. This is accomplished by implanting synthetic or biological materials into the lips to make them plumper and more appealing. more...
Neck plastic surgery is a procedure designed to reduce the loose look of sagging skin in the neck area and under the jaw line, sometimes including neck liposuction to remove excess fat deposits. People have different reasons for having a neck lift - the neck can age before your face, and if you’ve lost a lot of weight, your neck may retain loose or sagging skin. A neck lift can be performed alone, or in conjunction with other procedures including face lift, forehead lift or chin augmentation to give a complete facial makeover. more...
A facial cosmetic procedure, usually performed to enhance the appearance of the nose. The term rhinoplasty means "nose molding" or "nose forming." During a rhinoplasty procedure, the nasal cartilages and bones are modified to make the nose smaller (reduction rhinoplasty), or tissue is added (augmentation rhinoplasty). The change can be made by adding or removing bone or cartilage, grafting tissue from another part of the body, or implanting synthetic material to alter the shape of the nose. Nose surgery is also frequently performed to repair nasal fractures, or if a patient has breathing difficulties due to the shape of their nose. more...
A threadlift procedure uses very fine surgical sutures inserted in the soft facial tissues to lift and support sagging areas of the face, brow and neck. There are two types of thread lift procedures - the Contour Threadlift and the FeatherLift or Aptos Thread lift. Both types of thread lift thread are inserted via a very small incision behind the hairline so there are no visible scars. The threads remain under the skin to provide structure and support. The thread lift patient cannot see or feel the threads once they are in place. The body then generates its own collagen to maintain the lifting effect. more...
