Face Lifts

As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun and the stress of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth, the jaw line grows slack and jowls form, folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A facelift can “set back the clock” by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles and redraping the skin of your face and neck.

Eyelid Surgery

More than any other facial feature, your eyes reveal the most about how you feel. When your eyes are bright and alert, you appear energized, well-rested, and in control. However, if you have lower-eyelid puffiness, dark circles or drooping upper lids, others may assume that you are fatigued, angry or unhappy. If you believe that your eyes are making you look tired, sad, or older than you really feel, cosmetic eyelid surgery (also called blepharoplasty) may be the right choice for you.

Brow Lift/Forehead Lift

A brow lift is a plastic surgery procedure to improve the appearance of the facial region between the upper eyelids and the scalp, extending to the temples. The procedure improves low placement of sagging of the brows, and minimizes the appearance of lines and creases in the forehead. These conditions may be due to heredity or can be attributed to the natural aging process. In some people, repeated facial expressions that are created by contraction of underlying muscles result in visible creases and deep furrows. A brow lift can:

Brow Lift/Forehead Lift | Raleigh

Reduce furrows and other signs of aging in the forehead and brow areas, creating a softer, relaxed and rejuvenated facial appearance.
Minimize the creases that develop across the forehead, or those that occur high on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes.
Improve what are commonly referred to as “frown lines” – vertical creases that develop between the eyebrows.
Reposition a low or sagging brow that is hooding the upper eyelid.
Raise the eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position.

Neck Lift

Even though your neck can age before your face, Father Time is not always responsible for that appearance you’d like to undo. If you have lost a lot of weight, your neck may be taking its time to catch up. For others, it’s a matter of genetics. Whatever the reason, people young and old undergo neck lift procedures all the time.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip, or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect, injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)

Ear surgery, or Otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. For the most part, the operation is done on children between the ages of 4 and 14. Ears are almost fully grown by age 4, and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and ridicule the child will have to endure. Ear surgery on adults is also possible, and there are generally no additional risks associated with ear surgery on an older patient.
