Types of Facial Plastic Surgery

There are many different types of facial plastic surgery available, making it possible for Dr. Newman to tailor treatment to each patient’s needs. Treatments are available to rejuvenate the appearance or sculpt the face to create a more balanced, attractive look. Some popular facial plastic surgery treatments include:

• Face lift: The full and mini facelift can help reverse the hands of time and rejuvenate the appearance by gently tightening the facial tissues. A full face lift addresses lines and creases that affect the jaw line, upper neck, and midface. A mini face lift focuses on the lower third of the face, improving the appearance of the jaw line.
• Brow and forehead lift: A brow lift and forehead lift can improve the appearance of drooping, furrowed brows, creating a more youthful, rested appearance.
• Neck lift: It’s common for the neck tissues to sag as we age. Neck lift surgery is an effective treatment for removing loose skin and rejuvenating the appearance.
• Rhinoplasty: Issues with the shape or size of the nose can be corrected with rhinoplasty. Subtle changes to the nose can add balance to the face and enhance attractiveness.

• Eyelid surgery: Drooping, hanging eyelids can make the face look older and more tired and, in some cases, obstruct vision. Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, can help address loose, heavy eyelid tissue to rejuvenate the appearance.
• Lip augmentation: Thin lips can be enhanced with lip augmentation. We can add volume to the lips with dermal fillers or fat transfer.
• Facial implants: Facial implants such as cheek implants and chin implants can create definition and symmetry.
