Droopy, puffy eyes and eyelids can make you appear tired or older than you are. Cosmetic/reconstructive eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, can restore the skin around your eyes to its natural, youthful appearance and drastically reduce the signs of aging. In some cases, it can even improve vision impaired by sagging lids.

Facelift

Sun exposure, weight fluctuation, and the natural aging process make skin loosen and sag, resulting in wrinkles and jowls. The muscles on the neck can slacken, too, causing you to look years older than you are. Facelift is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate face and neck wrinkles simultaneously, thereby rejuvenating the skin and restoring your youthful appearance. Fresh, taut skin can make you look decades younger!

Facelift begins with incisions along the hairline, by the ear, on the chin, or along the earlobe. Next, excess skin is lifted and removed. The remaining skin is then smoothened, tightened, and secured with sutures or small metal clips. Depending on the condition of your skin and your desired results, the procedure may take up to three hours. Side effects may include swelling, numbness, bruising, and tightness, but most patients report little pain and only minor discomfort.

IPL PhotoRejuvenation

The Palomar RejuveLux intense pulse light system is a revolutionary new technology that helps permanently eliminate or reduce pigmented lesions (sun or age spots), vascular lesions, rosacea, and other skin imperfections. The system works by emitting a special light to break up pigment in the lesions. In most cases, these lesions fade away after 10 to 14 days-leaving your skin flawless.

Otoplasty

When a child or young adult has especially large or protruding ears, self-esteem can suffer. Ear pinning (or otoplasty) is a surgical procedure that can change the size and shape of the ears. This procedure is most commonly performed between the ages of five and 14, but it can be performed on adults as well. Ear pinning is a highly effective procedure that can improve both appearance and self-confidence. It is fast, safe, and extremely effective.

Otoplasty begins with an incision made behind the ear, after which excess cartilage is removed. Remaining cartilage is then sutured-or pinned-into place and left to heal. Ear pinning takes one to two hours to complete, and most normal activities can be resumed within several weeks.

Rhinoplasty

Changing the shape or size of your nose may be something you have wanted to do for a long time. Rhinoplasty can make a nose larger or smaller and can adjust the shape of the bridge, tip, or nostrils. The procedure can also correct crookedness, injuries, and breathing abnormalities that arise due to problems with the internal structures of the nose. The results of rhinoplasty can increase your confidence and improve the balance and proportions of your face.

During the rhinoplasty procedure, which is performed under either general or local anesthesia, incisions are made along the rims of the nostrils. By placing the incisions inconspicuously, there should be virtually no visible scarring. If the nose is being made smaller, the cartilage is carefully fractured and reset. If a bump is being removed, the excess cartilage is scraped away. Depending on the individual, rhinoplasty takes one to two hours to complete, and complete recovery takes up to a month.
