Cosmetic Face Procedures

Facelift

As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jawline grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop this aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat, excess skin, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel. If drooping eyelids interfere with your vision, insurance may cover the procedure. Blepharoplasty won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift.

Forehead/Brow Lift

A forehead or browlift is a surgical procedure done to minimize forehead creases, a furrowed forehead, and frown lines, which create a chronically tired, sad, or angry look. A browlift will also help to significantly reduce or remove the drooping of eyebrows and excess hooding of the upper eyelids. These things are able to be accomplished by removing excess tissue, altering the muscles, and tightening the forehead skin. A browlift is traditionally done through a long incision across the top of the head. In many cases, Dr. Becker is able to use the endoscopic method where a special scope is able to be used through small incisions.

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. Insurance will often cover the portion of the procedure to correct breathing problems.

Lip Augmentation

Augmentation of the lips is performed for those who desire more full and plump looking lips, or to even out the lips when the upper or lower lip is much thinner than the other. There are several ways to augment the lip. Options include collagen injections, Restylane® injections, autogenous (ones own fat injection), and placement of strips of collagen or synthetic material. Specific goals may determine which of these procedures are best for you.

Ear Surgery

Correction of prominent ears (otoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to set prominent ears closer to the head. It is most commonly done for ears that appear to be sticking out farther than normal due to a condition since birth. In this case it is usually done on school age children although it is also done on adults who have suffered with this since childhood. Other congenital ear abnormalities or trauma-induced abnormalities may also be corrected.

Reconstructive Face Procedures

Cleft Lip/Palate Repair

Children born with a cleft lip, a cleft palate or both will need reconstructive surgery. Multiple surgeries will usually be required and are performed in stages. These children will need the intervention of other medical professionals such as a pediatrician, an ear nose and throat doctor, a speech pathologist, and a dentist. To coordinate the efforts of all of these specialties, parents of a child with cleft lip or palate should contact a cleft lip and palate team as early as possible.

Facial Fractures/Trauma

Facial trauma may be limited to lacerations of the skin and facial structures, or may also involve fractures of the facial bones. Lacerations are usually handled in the emergency room or operating room at the time of presentation. Special techniques are utilized in the repair of eyelids, lips, ears, etc. Repair of facial fractures may require additional incisions to be made through which plates and screws to hold the bones together are placed. In the circumstance of fractures of the lower jaw a temporary wiring of the jaws may also be necessary.
