Quick-Lift
A Quick-Lift—also known as a Mini-Lift or a Weekend Facelift—provides an overall lift to the lower region of the face and the upper neck. When compared to a traditional facelift, the Quick-Lift is a faster operation with a shorter recovery time and a lower risk of complications. The Quick-Lift is for people over 40, who wish to improve the appearance of their jowls and sagging of the neck. This procedure tightens the underlying connective tissue below the skin, ensuring long lasting results
Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent Liposuction is used to improve contour by removal of unwanted fat deposits of the abdomen, thighs, hips, flanks, buttocks, arms, chin, cheeks, and jowls. Tumescent Liposuction uses a safe and simple technique that employs the use of local anesthetic, which eliminates the risks associated with general anesthesia, as used in traditional liposuction. Blood loss is practically eliminated by tightening blood vessels. After the procedure, bruising, swelling, and pain are minimal, and the recovery time is short.
Tumescent Lipo Mini-Lift
This procedure enhances the overall results of the mini facelift by combining the Quick Lift with Tumescent Liposuction of the chin, cheek, and jowls. Advantages include removal of unwanted fat deposits of the lower the face and neck with a long lasting lift, by direct excision of excess skin and tightening of the underlying connective tissue. The Tumescent Lipo Mini Lift is performed in the Dermatology and Laser Center under local anesthesia and mild oral sedation.
Mini Brow/Forehead Lift - Blepharoplasty
A forehead or brow lift gives patients a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. This procedure fixes drooping brows while also improving the horizontal lines and furrows along the forehead that often make people look angry, sad, or tired. In this lift, muscles and tissues that cause the drooping and furrowing are elevated, resulting in a smoothed forehead and raised eyebrows. Direct excision of excess skin and fat in the upper eyelid is often combined (Blepharoplasty). The end result gives the patient a more rested, animated, and happy appearance.
Earlobe Correction
Ear repair can be used to correct torn earlobes and to fix damaged earlobes. A small and precise incision is made around the torn earlobe and then sutured. The sutures are removed 5-7 days later, and the ear can be re-pierced 8 weeks later, if desired.
