Facelift and Neck Lift
A facelift and neck lift are performed to refresh and rejuvenate the lower face, revealing sleeker and more youthful contours in the face and neck. This procedure can address jowls and loose skin caused by a loss of underlying facial support, as well as help smooth nasolabial folds and mid-facial creases. With modern facelift techniques and the expertise of a skilled facial plastic surgeon, patients can often look up to ten years younger without sacrificing naturally beautiful results.
Patient Results
Brow Lift
If frown lines and skin laxity in the upper face have created an angry, fatigued, or stressed appearance, you may consider a brow lift. Also known as a forehead lift, brow lift surgery can reduce frown lines (“eleven wrinkles”) and restore drooping brows to a more natural, youthful positioning. The procedure can also smooth deep creases along the forehead, allowing patients to look more rejuvenated and carefree.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
If your eyes convey signs of aging and tiredness, a more rested expression can be achieved with eyelid surgery — commonly referred to as blepharoplasty. Capable of rejuvenating the upper and/or lower eyelids, blepharoplasty can remove excess skin causing “hooding,” improve puffiness and under-eye bags, or reduce dark shadows underneath the eyes. Together, these enhancements work together to brighten the upper face and alleviate the appearance of perpetually tired eyes.
Rhinoplasty
A greater sense of facial harmony can be achieved with rhinoplasty, an intricate procedure designed to create a more balanced relationship between the nose and the rest of the face. This advanced nose contouring surgery can refine the nasal framework and/or improve breathing by repairing a deviated septum. Rhinoplasty offers many possibilities in recontouring the nose, which may include adjusting the height of the nasal bridge, revising the tip of the nose, or reshaping the nostrils. As a “surgery of millimeters,” even a small change to the nose can provide a dynamic improvement that enhances your entire appearance.
Revision Rhinoplasty
When you don’t achieve your desired results with a primary rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty can be an optimal solution to address lingering aesthetic deficiencies or functional issues. However, adjusting cartilage and tissue that have already been operated on is extremely complex and takes an extensively trained facial plastic surgeon with a high caliber of experience to make the necessary improvements. Drs. Kriet, Humphrey, and Flynn understand how distressing it can be to receive a subpar outcome from another surgeon. Our doctors can work with you to develop a custom treatment plan to address your concerns and improve your initial results.
“I haven’t been able to properly breath through my nose for as long as I can remember. Dr. Kriet has changed my life. He operated on the inside of my nose which has now allowed me to breath properly. I couldn’t thank Dr. Kriet and the amazing staff enough!”
Patient Results
Ear Correction (Otoplasty)
Otoplasty is utilized to correct dominant or disproportionate ears, which is characterized by the ears protruding farther from the side of the head than what is considered a normal projection. As a result, the ears may stick out and become a source of insecurity for both children and adults. In general, otoplasty can modify the shape, size, contours, and symmetry of the ears to balance facial harmony and treat conditions such as folded or misshapen ears.
Chin Augmentation
An underprojected chin can not only detract from a well-sculpted jawline, but it may also create imbalance among your surrounding facial features. Chin augmentation, or genioplasty, can bring forth greater facial harmony by advancing a weak or recessed chin, often creating a stronger facial profile. This is achieved by placing a custom-made chin implant, which can better define the jawline, improve the lower facial contour, or offset a disproportionately large nose.
Fat Grafting (Fat Injections)
Fat transfer to the face can be a highly effective technique to replenish facial volume lost to the natural aging process. Using a patient’s own fat, our facial plastic surgeons can meticulously deliver fat cells to flat or sunken areas of the face. This enhances facial fullness and creates more youthful contours, achieving volume enhancement that lasts longer than cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers.
