Ear surgery (Otoplasty)
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually performed to reduce the
size of large ears, correct misshapen or poorly formed ears,
or to "tuck" protruding ears
closer to the head. Otoplasty is safe and highly effective, and is most commonly
done on children (by age 4, ears are almost fully grown) and teenagers. Ear surgery
on adults is also possible, and there are generally no additional risks associated
with ear surgery on an older patient.
With ear surgery, an incision is made behind the ear and excess cartilage removed.
Stitches are used to close the incision and help maintain the new shape. The
results are more balanced, normal-looking ears, and in many cases, improved self-image.

Face Lift (Rhytidectomy)
As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, weight fluctuation,
and stress can be seen in their faces. Folds and fat deposits appear around the
neck and jowls and deep creases and wrinkles form above the top lip or around
the eyes.
A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop this
aging process. What it can do is improve the most visible signs
of aging by removing excess
fat, tightening underlying muscles, and skin of your face and neck. A facelift
can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead
lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. The best candidate for a facelift is
a man or woman in their forties to sixties, whose skin still has some elasticity
and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined.

Fat Transfer
Fat transfer is a more natural approach to facial rejuvenation. The procedure
involves transferring fat from other areas of a person's body to recontour areas
of the face, such as eyebrows, lids, cheeks, lips, deep crease areas, jawline
and chin.
Brow Lift / Forehead Lift
As we age, deep horizontal lines on our forehead or brow creases can make us
look tired, sad, angry, or years older than we truly are. In a brow lift / forehead
lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the furrowing or drooping are removed
or altered
to smooth the forehead, raise the eyebrows and minimize frown lines. A forehead
lift is most commonly performed in the 40-60 age range to minimize the visible
effects of aging. However, it can also help people of any age who have developed
furrows or frown lines due to stress or muscle activity. Individuals with inherited
conditions, such as a low, heavy brow or furrowed lines above the nose can achieve
a more alert and refreshed look with this procedure.
There are two main types of forehead lift. During an endoscopic lift, usually
chosen by younger patients who are just developing brow wrinkles, an endoscope
is inserted below the skin and used to help lift and tighten the underlying muscles.
The other type of lift removes excess tissue and muscle through an incision made
at or above the hairline to avoid visible scarring. Both techniques produce similar
results - smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.

Lip Augmentation
Lip Augmentation is the procedure which uses synthetic or biological products
such as Restylane®, Collagen or surgical restructuring to enhance the lips,
to give your lips a fuller, more defined look.
Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all
plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your
nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils,
or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct
a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
During rhinoplasty, incisions are made along the rims of the nostrils to avoid visible scarring. Then extra cartilage is removed and the bones are carefully reset to reshape the nose for the desired look. Some of the results of rhinoplasty include a smaller, straighter or more well-defined nose, and an improved angle between the nose and upper lip.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
As people age, the eyelid skin stretches, muscles weaken, and
fat accumulates around the eyes, causing "bags" above
and below. In some cases, droopy or sagging eyelids can impair
vision.
Eyelid surgery, technically called blepharoplasty, is a procedure
to remove fat and sometimes excess skin and muscle from the upper
and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids
and puffy bags below your eyes.
The procedure does not remove
crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your
eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. Eyelid surgery can also add an
upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes. Blepharoplasty can be done
alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures
such as a facelift or browlift.
