Face & Neck Lift - fort worth, tx
Redraping of the skin and soft tissues of the face and neck. Incisions in front of and behind the ears and often beneath the chin allow access to the tissues to be recontoured.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelids) - fort worth, tx
Removal of extra skin and fat of the upper, lower or both eyelids.
Otoplasty (Ears) - fort worth, tx
Otoplasty is reshaping of the ears, often as simple as recreating a fold in the upper part of the ear but sometimes more complicated including setback of the entire ear closer to the head.
Lip enhancement - fort worth, tx
The primary technique for lip enhancement is fillers that are injected in the office. Lip augmentation with filler is expected to last about 12 months at which time repeat injections can be pursued. A very natural, subtle enhancement is noted after filler injection. Fat grafting is a technique where a patient’s own fat is harvested and processed then injected into the lips.
Genioplasty (Chin) - fort worth, tx
Augmentation of the chin is a procedure where a silicone implant is placed to enhance projection of the chin to result in a more proportionate distribution of facial units.
Ear Lobe Repair - fort worth, tx
Ear lobe repair involves removing the skin within the piercing and repairing the earlobe. This is a simple process for standard piercings; for people desiring reconstruction of earlobes distracted over time by gauges this is a much more complicated procedure.
Dysport - fort worth, tx
Dysport® is a purified form of botulinum toxin used to soften the activity of small muscles in the face that contribute to wrinkles. It is predominately used between the eyebrows, in the brow and adjacent to the eyes to address ‘crow’s feet’.
Dermal Fillers - fort worth, tx
Fillers is a general term for injection of a product designed to restore volume to the face. There are many manufacturers and each manufacturer has many products to offer. The type of filler used is determined by the area the patients wishes to alter: cheeks and temples require one type of filler, lip augmentation a completely different type. Injections can be done in other areas beyond the face, most commonly the backs of the hands. The most common fillers I use are Restylane® Lyft, Restylane® Refyne, Restylane® Defyne and Restylane® Silk.
