    • Chin Implant
      A chin implant is one of two ways the chin may be reshaped through surgery. The other, called sliding genioplasty, uses your own bone to augment the chin and therefore doesn't involve inserting a synthetic implant under the skin. Chin augmentations are often performed at the same time as rhinoplasty to have the most impact on your profile.

    • Deep Plane Facelift

    • Dimpleplasty
      Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive surgery used to create dimples on the cheeks or chin. A doctor passes a suture through the inside of the cheek (or, in the case of chin dimples, through the inside of the bottom lip), catching the undersurface of the skin. When the suture is tied, it creates a natural-looking dimple in the overlying skin. The surgery typically takes 30 minutes, can be performed under local anesthesia, and should not leave a scar on the outside of the face.

    • Drainless Tummy Tuck
      A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the stomach while tightening the abdominal wall. Typically, drains are worn following the procedure to secrete fluids that build up during healing. A tummy tuck can also be performed without drains using the progressive tension suture method. This requires multiple sutures between the abdominal wall and the overlying skin and fat to restrict the accumulation of fluid. Doctors report less pain, a lower risk for a seroma, and a shorter healing time. However, this technique requires more time in the operating room and could possibly lead to indentations or irregularities.

    • Eyebrow Transplant
      Eyebrow transplant surgery involves taking hair from another part of the body and transplanting it to the brow area. Healthy follicles are harvested from the donor site, typically the back of the head, and transferred to create the desired brow shape. Hair transplanted to this area will begin to grow like it did in its original location, so regular trimming will be needed.

    • Facelift
      A facelift reduces wrinkles and sagging skin on the face and neck caused by aging or weight loss. The procedure removes excess skin, tightens the underlying muscles, and redrapes the skin in a higher position. The results go beyond what can be expected from wrinkle-fighting injections like Botox. Different types of lifts, such as cheek lifts or mini lifts, address specific concerns.

    • Fat Transfer
      Fat transfer (also known as fat grafting) is a process that involves harvesting fat cells from other parts of the body, purifying them, and them injecting them into the treatment site. This is done to increase the volume in areas such as the cheeks, lips, breasts, and butt. Fat transfer can also help reduce the appearance of pitted acne scars. While results are long-lasting, they should not be considered permanent.

      Fraxel is an FDA-approved laser treatment intended to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin pigmentation,  sun damage, acne, stretch marks, and, in some cases, the pre-cancerous skin condition actinic keratosis (AK). A handheld device is passed across the skin, sending laser light energy below the surface. This energy stimulates your body's natural production of collagen, rejuvenating the cells and smoothing the skin on the surface.

    • Gingival Graft
      A gingival graft (commonly called a gum graft or periodontal surgery) refers to a numbers of surgical procedures that can be performed to cover exposed roots caused by receding gums. This is typically performed by taking tissue from the roof of the mouth and attaching it to the gum line. Pedicle grafts can also be performed, which involves cutting away the gum around the tooth being treated, then pulling the gum back down to cover the exposed root and sewing it into place.
