As we age, the eyebrows begin to shift downward from the inexorable pull of gravity. The Tissues around the mouth roll inward forming the Nasolabial Folds (fold from the corner of the nose to the mouth) and the Jowls (fold from the corner of the mouth to the jaw). Similar aging and tissue shifting occurs in the neck where tissues slides towards the midline accumulating under the chin. Reversing the signs of facial aging used to mean some type of open facelift. Although the facelift still remains the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, clearly there are many individuals seeking a more youthful appearance who do not need a facelift. The Thread Lift and Suture Suspension Lifts are a great way to roll back the clock and look years younger with a minimally invasive procedure.

Rhinoplasty can be performed to alter nasal size or shape whether it is traumatic or genetically acquired. Unattractive nasal features such as a wide bulbous tip, wide nasal bridge, large dorsal hump, malformed/asymmetric tip, crooked nose, or a deviated septum causing breathing problems are readily correctable. Even in the case of prior surgery, the nose can most often be substantially softened and the overall shape vastly improved.
