Procedures

Below is a list of some of the cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures available at our office.

Contour ThreadLift

In properly selected patients, the Contour ThreadLift can be used to lift sagging eyebrows, adjust asymmetric brows, reposition sagging cheeks and jowls, lift drooping soft tissues of the mid and lower face, and smooth out premature skin aging.

Eyelid Surgery

Droopy upper eyelids, baggy lower eyelids and saggy eyebrows can be corrected to brighten the face and restore a younger appearance. Excessively droopy upper eyelids which cause visual blockage may be eligible for insurance coverage. A visual field test in our office will determine the degree of visual blockage.

Botox Treatment

If you have found that frown lines, forehead creases or crow's feet are preventing you from looking as good as you feel, cosmetic Botox injections may be a good option for you.

Restylane Injection

Restylane is an exciting injection procedure that can get rid of wrinkles and enhances areas of your face immediately. Some of those areas include the lips, superficial lines around the mouth, forehead lines, and smile lines.

Nasal Surgery

Nasal cosmetic and functional surgery is available to reshape and improve the nose in a number of ways. Nasal deformity post injury with breathing blockage may be eligible for insurance coverage.
