There are many different plastic surgery techniques for lifting, smoothing, and reshaping facial features. They range from relatively simple, minimally invasive facelift procedures – such as the new Contour ThreadLift™ -- to major surgeries. With advancements in surgical techniques, a number of plastic surgery procedures now involve smaller incisions and less trauma to the tissues, and patients often experience a shorter recovery time.
The facial surgery and skin care surgical procedures offered by our surgeons are described below. For more information, click on the procedure names to view American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) patient education web pages that describe the procedures in detail.
If you are thinking about having cosmetic plastic surgery, please see your plastic surgeon to discuss the procedure you are considering and the results you desire to achieve.
