Preservation Rhinoplasty
Preservation rhinoplasty is a specialized approach to rhinoplasty designed to conserve as much bone, cartilage, and natural tissue of the nose as possible. During the procedure, small amounts of tissue are strategically removed from underneath the nose to achieve a more refined, lasting, and natural-looking enhancement. In turn, preservation rhinoplasty allows a greater degree of support in the nasal framework after surgery.
Alarplasty for Nostril Reduction
Alarplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the width or flare of the nostrils by reshaping the alar base — the area where the nostrils meet the cheeks. It focuses on the skin and soft tissue rather than the nasal bone or cartilage, making it a more targeted correction than a full rhinoplasty. Alarplasty is often performed alongside rhinoplasty for more comprehensive nasal refinement, but it can also be performed on its own under local anesthesia for patients whose primary concern is nostril width or flare.
Face Liposuction
Facial liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed to create the ideal angles in the jaw, chin, and cheek area. The procedure, which may also be referred to as submental liposuction, targets excess fat cells that cause the appearance of jowls, turkey-neck, and overly-inflated cheeks. Performed under local anesthesia in most cases, facial liposuction provides a straight path to a more refined, more angular face.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting can restore youthful volume and enhance facial contours using your body’s own fat. The process involves harvesting fat from another area of the body, purifying it, and injecting it into areas like the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and nasolabial folds. This technique can smooth wrinkles, improve symmetry, and provide natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Brow Lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is performed to restore a more youthful appearance to the upper face. It is designed to adjust the position of eyebrows, smooth forehead wrinkling, and tighten excess skin. A brow lift rejuvenates the eyes to give patients a rested, younger look.
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the removal of buccal fat pads from the cheeks. This surgical intervention is designed to reduce facial fullness and create a more defined and contoured appearance, particularly in the cheek and mid-face area.
Lip Lift
A lip lift shortens the Philtrum. In a lip lift, Dr. Beaty increases the amount of pink tissue that’s visible. This makes the lips look fuller and more pronounced. It may also increase how much of your upper central teeth show when your lips are resting.
Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, can improve the position or shape of the ear. It is often performed to correct a birth defect in the structure of the ear that becomes more prominent over time. However, otoplasty can also treat deformed ears that have resulted from an injury. Ear surgery is performed to improve the balance and proportion between the face and ears. This surgery is an elective procedure that is often used for cosmetic purposes.
Facial Implants
There are two types of facial implants, cheek implants and chin implants, that are used to enhance the contours of the face. The procedure can be used to alter and enhance the appearance of the face, or to restore youth to the face after the signs of aging have begun to set in.
Lesion Removal And Scar Revision
Lesion removal is a procedure to eliminate abnormal skin growths, such as moles, cysts, or skin tags, for medical or cosmetic reasons. Scar revision involves surgical techniques to improve the appearance of scars, reducing their visibility and promoting a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing skin texture.
FaceTite®
Our team is excited to offer FaceTite®, a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that can provide substantial lower face contouring with long-term results. FaceTite® contours the lower face beautifully through a combination of fat-reduction, skin-tightening, and ongoing collagen production after treatment.
For Men
Facial plastic surgery for men generally aims to enhance masculine features and address common concerns related to facial aging. Popular procedures include rhinoplasty, chin and jawline augmentation, brow lift, eyelid surgery, and facelifts. These surgeries are tailored to improve facial proportions, restore youthful contours, and achieve a more rejuvenated appearance.
