Chemical Peel

Chemical Peel

Chemical peels are used to improve the appearance of the skin.  It uses a chemical solution that causes the skin to blister and eventually peel off.  Usually, the new skin will be smoother and less wrinkled.  Chemical peels are usually done on the face, neck or hands; they can treat wrinkles, improve the appearance of scars, treat certain kinds of acne, improve the skin, and reduce age spots.  Notably, the skin will be more sensitive to the sun after a chemical peel, so wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is recommended; a hat is also recommended.  Generally, the more fair-skinned and light-haired a patient is, the better effect a chemical peel will have.  Discuss with your doctor before attempting a chemical peel.

Botox/Dysport

Botox/Dysport

Botox and Dysport are two similar non-surgical options for treating wrinkles.  Both injections are derived from a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes the muscles.  Extremely small doses of this toxin are used to treat muscular conditions and cosmetically remove wrinkles by preventing muscle contraction.  This procedure can take up to 72 hours to take effect and make a noticeable difference, but it avoids a drawn out surgery and recovery period.  This is a highly effective procedure on most patients, but certain patients may experience adverse effects to the toxin.  Talk to your doctor to determine whether Botox or Dysport is a viable option.

Chin Surgery

Chin Surgery

If you are having nose surgery, your surgeon may also recommend chin surgery, or metoplasty, to reshape your chin, either through an implant or reduction surgery.  This is to achieve facial proportion, as the size of your chin affects the perceived size of your nose.  Chin surgery will help provide a harmonious balance to your face, so you will feel better about how you look.  If you are having nose surgery, or if you feel your chin is already disproportionate to your nose, talk with your plastic surgeon to discuss the possibility of chin surgery.

Brow Lift

Brow Lift

As you age, you might have noticed the development of expression lines or other signs of aging in your brow region.  A brow lift procedure can correct these problems by minimizing the crease that develops across the forehead (or the high bridge of the nose).   This procedure can also be used to reposition a sagging brow that is hooding your upper eyelid, raising the brow to a more alert and youthful position.  This is a personal and individualized procedure; you should only undertake this procedure if it is right for you.  If you wish to get rid of the creases on your eyebrows, consider a brow lift.

  • Are you physically healthy?
  • Are you a nonsmoker?
