This page offers a general overview of cosmetic surgery procedures. We are dedicated to providing relevant information on plastic surgery procedures. If you're considering a facial plastic surgery procedure, we provide you with a good introduction, along with detailed information. Please select one of the links below to learn about the procedure.

Rhinoplasty - If you have wondered how nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, could improve your looks, self-confidence, or health, you need to know how rhinoplasty is performed and what you can expect.

Facelift - Successful facial plastic surgery is a result of good rapport between patient and surgeon. Trust, based on realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise, develops in the consulting stages before surgery is performed.

Blepharoplasty - Droopy eyelids can make you look older and can also impair vision. Blepharoplasty corrects these problems and also removes puffiness and bags under the eyes that make you look worn and tired.

Forehead Lift - Sun, wind, and the pull of gravity all affect the face, resulting in frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead, and an increasing heaviness of the eyebrows.

Wrinkle Treatment - The gradual development of facial wrinkles, whether fine surface lines or deeper creases and folds, is the classic early sign of accumulated skin damage and inevitable aging.

BOTOX® Injections - Botox is a non-surgical injection which may be used to temporarily reduce or eliminate prominent forehead creases, brow furrows, and crow’s feet.

Skin Resurfacing - wrinkling is more common now than ever before. Both men and women seek facial plastic surgery to reverse the effects of sun damaged skin.

Laser Resurfacing - Many procedures can be performed with different lasers. The choice of the laser depends upon many factors, including the surgeon's experience, the size of the area to be treated, and the expectations of the patient.

Lip Augmentation - Lip augmentation is an office procedure performed under local anesthesia. Augmentation materials are available in liquid form for injection or sheet form for surgical placement.

Facial Scar & Skin Cancer Treatment - When skin is in the process of recovering from an injury, whether the result of an accident, surgery, a burn, or acne, scarring will occur wherever multiple layers of the skin have been affected.

Hair Transplants - Hair loss affects two out of every three men, and one in five women. Some people begin to lose hair in their twenties. Frequent shampooing, poor circulation, wearing hats or any other personal habits are not factors that cause hair loss.

Otoplasty - Probably no other physical characteristic cries out for facial plastic surgery more than protruding ears. Children, long the victims of cruel nicknames like “Dumbo” or “Mickey Mouse,” are the most likely candidates for otoplasty, but this surgery can be performed at any age after the ears have reached full size, usually around five to six years of age.

Chin Augmentation - A well defined chin helps give balance to the face and creates a major part of one's profile. When people look in the mirror, most focus on the size and shape of their noses, their ears, sagging jowls, or fine wrinkling of the skin.

Minilift - The minilift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to tighten loose skin in the lower third of the face and neck. The procedure can improve the appearance of jowls or heavy cheeks.

Facial Fillers - Facial fillers, also referred to as injectable fillers, are substances which can be injected beneath the skin to soften the appearance of wrinkles, facial scars and contour deformities.

Latisse Eyelash Enhancement
Latise is a FDA approved treatment to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker.  Latisse is believed to affect the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.  Results of Latisse are gradual and a significant improvement is typically seen by two months. 

Using Latisse is easy and done in the comfort of your own home.  Once nightly, Latisse is placed on one of the given applicators and then applied to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes.
