Facial Procedures
.: Chin & Cheek Implants
Facial implants can enhance your appearance and your
self-confidence. Most candidates are interested in a
fundamental change in the shape and balance of their
face. With facial implants, Dr. Morgan can help you
achieve, for example, a wider and stronger jaw line,
higher cheekbones or a fuller face, added length, and
projection of a small chin.
.: Collagen Injections
As we age, our faces begin to show the effects of gravity,
sun exposure, and years of facial muscle movement, such
as smiling, chewing and squinting. The underlying tissues
that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin
to break down, often leaving laugh lines, smile lines,
crow’s feet or facial creases over the areas where
muscle movement occurs. Soft-tissue fillers, most commonly
injectable collagen or fat, can help fill in these areas.
This in turn restores a fuller, smoother, more youthful
looking appearance. When injected beneath the skin,
these fillers plump up creases and sunken areas to the
face. They can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks.
.: Ear Surgery
Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is usually done
to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to
reduce the size of large ears.
,: Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is
a procedure to remove fat along with excess skin and
muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery
can correct drooping upper eyelids and puffy bags below
your eyes-- those features that can make you look older
and more tired than you feel and that may even interfere
with your vision.
.: Facelift
As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the
sun, and the stresses of daily life reflect in their
face. Deep creases begin to form between the nose and
mouth; the jaw line becomes slack and jowly from loss
of elasticity; folds and fat deposits begin to appear
around the neck. A facelift can’t stop this aging
process, but it can “set back the clock”
. A facelift will improve the most visible signs of
aging by removing those fat deposits, tightening the
underlying muscles, and redraping the loose skin of
the face and neck. A facelift can be done alone or along
with additional procedures such as a forehead lift,
eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
.: Forehead Lift
A forehead lift or “browlift” is a procedure
that presents a more refreshed look to the area around
the eyes. The procedure corrects the drooping brows
and improves the horizontal lines and furrows that can
make a person appear angry, sad or tired. In a forehead
lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the furrowing
or drooping are removed or altered to smooth the forehead,
raise the eyebrows, and minimize frown lines.
.: Laser Resurfacing
In laser resurfacing, some times called “laser
peel”, a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is used to
remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer.
The procedure is most commonly used to minimize the
appearance of the fine lines, especially around the
eyes and mouth. However, it is also effective in treating
facial scars or areas of uneven pigmentation. Laser
resurfacing may be performed on the whole face or in
specific regions. Often, the procedure is done in conjunction
with another cosmetic operation, such as a facelift
or eyelid surgery.
.: Rhinoplasty
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 or injury or help relieve some breathing
problems.
