Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

What do I need to know about facial plastic and reconstructive surgery?

The experience and artistic eye of your surgeon make the biggest impact on the outcome of facial surgery. You want a surgeon who evaluates your facial structure and recommends changes that will look good relative to the rest of your face.

You also want a surgeon who takes time to talk with you, to learn exactly what you hope to achieve, and who recommends the procedure that’s the best match for your goals.

At Lakeshore Ear, Nose & Throat Center, you get all those qualities, along with exceptional surgical skill, from their team of board-certified plastic surgeons.

Why would I need nose surgery?

Nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, is most often used to improve the appearance of your nose by:

• Reducing its size
• Straightening a crooked nose
• Changing bridge width
• Correcting the size, shape, or position of your nostrils
• Eliminating bumps or depressions on the bridge
• Changing a large, drooping, upturned, or hooked nose tip
• Correcting nasal asymmetry

Nose surgery can also repair damage from an injury, fix structural defects that affect your breathing, or remove polyps.

What is an eye lift?

An eye lift, or blepharoplasty, can be done on your upper lids, lower lids, or both.

Eyelid surgery treats:

• Loose or sagging skin on your upper eyelids
• Excess skin and wrinkles on your lower eyelid
• Bags under your eyes
• Drooping lower eyelids

This surgery rejuvenates your eyes by improving some of the early signs of aging.

What improvements are made during a face-lift?

A face-lift, or rhytidectomy, restores a youthful appearance by:

• Eliminating sagging and loose skin on your face and neck
• Smoothing out wrinkles and folds around your nose and mouth
• Removing or reshaping fat that has fallen
• Tightening or removing jowls in your chin

Since a face-lift is limited to specific areas of your face, the procedure is often combined with other surgeries that target problem areas such as your eyebrows, eyelids, or nose.

Which cosmetic problems are corrected with a neck lift?

A neck lift targets signs of aging in your jawline and neck by:

• Removing excess fat and skin in the lower face (jowls)
• Removing fat under your chin
• Eliminating loose neck skin
• Diminishing muscle banding in the neck
