What are your eyes telling other people about you? It is interesting how our eyes can express our emotions to others. Even when we are trying to hide a certain emotion, sometimes our eyes just will not lie. However, they can also tell others something that is not true about us. For example, consider someone with sagging, tired-looking eyes. Even though they may be older, this does not necessarily mean that they feel tired or worn out. However, because of sagging skin around their eyes, that’s exactly the impression they give others. If your eyes are giving others the wrong impression of you, you may be able to benefit from eyelid surgery.
In some cases, simply getting a little bit more rest and learning to deal with stress is all that is needed to help your eyes look better. However, some people need to take more drastic steps in order to improve the appearance of their eyes. In this case, eyelid surgery may be appropriate. This procedure is one of the best ways to rejuvenate your eyes.
The first thing that you should know about eyelid surgery is that it is something that can be done on both the upper and the lower eyelids. It is used to address sagging skin, fat and unwanted tissue that has accumulated around your eyes. This is a safe procedure that has been performed thousands of times. This will give you confidence knowing that since others have had it performed and have enjoyed great results, you likely will as well.
The exact procedure involved in eyelid surgery varies from patient to patient depending on their needs. If you are only dealing with bags under your eyes, for example, you may only need the procedure on your lower eyelids. If your upper eyelids are drooping to the point that they interfere with your vision, however, upper eyelid surgery may be more appropriate. Others may prefer a combination approach. During your consultation with us, we will let you know about your options and tailor the procedure exactly to your goals and needs.
The best way for you to learn more about how you can rejuvenate your eyes with eyelid surgery is to schedule a consultation with us at . During this consultation, you will meet with our plastic surgeon, who has performed this surgery many times. We will help you determine your candidacy for the treatment and if it is right for you.

Have you ever heard someone say, “I just cannot wait to look old?” Probably not. You’ve probably heard some people say that they look forward to getting older, and that’s usually when they are either a child or in their early teens. But once a person hits their mid-20’s or early 30’s, they usually prefer to keep looking that way. The way that aging affects your appearance is complicated. There are so many factors at play that make the aging process evident on the face. One area of your face that shows your age more than any other is your lips. Fortunately, lip augmentation can bring fullness and youth to your lips and, by extension, the rest of your face.
If you look at a picture of yourself when you were younger and then look at yourself now, what do you notice about your lips? They are most likely a lot thinner than they were before. Have you ever wondered why this is? The answer may surprise you. The older you get, the less your body produces an important protein known as collagen. Collagen is connected to everything that makes you look younger. It is what gives your face its full appearance, makes your skin look healthy, and keeps your skin looking plump. Collagen’s purpose in your body is to provide support to the soft tissues that you have. As we age, we also produce less of a substance known as hyaluronic acid, which helps keep your skin hydrated, smooth and full.
Every day we are exposed to ultraviolet rays. These also work against your lips. They cause the collagen in them to break down, making them look thin sooner. This underscores the importance of taking steps to protect your lips from the sun by using lipstick or a lip balm.
But what if age has already taken its effect? Your lips have lost their volume, and now they look thin. Is there anything you can do? Absolutely! Dermal fillers have revolutionized the way that people look at the thickness of their lips. Hyaluronic acid injections can add volume to your lips that will last for many months.
When hyaluronic acid injections are used by a trained medical professional, they can restore the fullness to your lips without giving you a worked-on or fish lip appearance. In fact, fillers such as Restylane® and Juvederm® are famous for providing beautifully natural-looking results.
There are so many benefits to using hyaluronic acid-based injections to improve the volume of your lips. One benefit is that the treatment can be performed in a matter of minutes, and the results are immediate. As soon as you walk out of our office, you will have fuller lips.
Lip augmentation can also come in the form of a fat transfer. A fat transfer consists of taking fat from a donor area on the body and replacing it in another area such as the lips. This method also comes with many benefits, including the fact that since this lip augmentation procedure uses nothing more than your own fat to enhance another area, the risk of having an adverse reaction is almost impossible.
Whether you have always had thin lips or your lips have lost volume over time, lip augmentation may be the answer for you. Ask Dr. Smith about this treatment at to find out if it is right for you. Contact our office in today to schedule an appointment and learn more.
For many people, surgery is not their first choice when it comes to looking younger. They may not want or are not able to undergo a surgical procedure. This does not mean that a person simply has to deal with their dynamic wrinkles. If you want to reduce wrinkles such as crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines, BOTOX® may be the solution.
While you may have heard the about BOTOX® again and again online, on TV and among your friends, you may not be familiar with how it works. When injected, this treatment relaxes the facial muscles responsible for forming the dynamic wrinkles on your face. Dynamic wrinkles are different from static wrinkles. They are formed as a result of repeated facial expressions over time, whereas static wrinkles show up as part of the aging process no matter how many facial expressions you do or don’t make. By relaxing these muscles with your treatment, these wrinkles eventually smooth out.
After receiving BOTOX® injections, the treated muscles will not contract with the same intensity as they did before. You will still be able to make all the expressions you did before receiving treatment; they just won’t result in noticeable wrinkles.
One example of dynamic wrinkles is crow’s feet. Crow’s feet are the lines that you see at the outer corners of your eyes. When you were younger, you could get crow’s feet whenever you smiled or squinted. However, they were not a permanent feature of your face. After so many years have gone by and you have squinted and smiled thousands and thousands of times, these lines have become etched around the corners of your eyes. This is where BOTOX® can help. It relaxes those muscles to leave your skin looking smooth and soft.
One reason why people love BOTOX® so much is because the results that it produces are subtle. You are left with a very refreshed and youthful appearance, but it won’t be obvious to others that you underwent any kind of cosmetic procedure. Instead, you will just look like a younger version of yourself. The treatment simply softens the facial muscles, which, in turn, softens the skin.
If you are ready to learn more about how you can smooth out dynamic wrinkles with BOTOX®, schedule a consultation with Dr. Smith at . We would be happy to explain more in detail how this unique treatment can help you get rid of your dynamic wrinkles. Contact our office in to schedule your consultation!
It is very common to hear people describe others as either having a strong chin or a weak chin. If you have a strong chin, this means that your chin is defined and is prominent. Individuals who have a weak chin almost look as if they have no chin at all. This can be problematic because when a person does not have a well-defined chin, the rest of their face looks unbalanced. Chin augmentation via chin implants is a popular solution to address this issue. Both men and women have chin augmentation procedures performed.
Understanding the Benefits of Chin Implants
When a person has a chin augmentation procedure performed, their chin will be in proportion to the rest of their facial features. If you look at a person who has a weak chin, their neck looks full or fleshy.
Since your chin is designed to offset the appearance of your nose, if a person has a weak chin, then their nose might seem like it is unusually large. Chin implants can bring the nose back into balance with the rest of the facial structure.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Chin Implant?
You may be a good candidate for chin augmentation if you have an aesthetic defect that would benefit from you having a more prominent chin. Some of these defects would include a pointed chin, a square chin, a fleshy neck, a recessed chin or a prominent nose.
You should also have a realistic expectation about what the procedure can do for you. A chin implant will improve the appearance of your profile, but it will not change who you are. Nor should you expect a chin implant to change the way that other people treat you. If you walk into the procedure with unrealistic expectations, you will likely walk out feeling upset.
Chin implants serve a valuable purpose in that they restore balance to your face, they make your neck visible and they can improve your appearance, thereby improving your self-confidence. The best way to determine if chin augmentation is right for you is to sit down and talk with our surgeon at in . He would be more than happy to evaluate your case.

Most people who have undergone otoplasty are extremely satisfied with their results. They have commented on how it has improved their self-esteem and how they have noticed that others treat them in a more positive way. Children who undergo the surgery do not experience the same level of ridicule or bullying when they are in school. However, before you use otoplasty for yourself or your child, take some time to learn about some of the basics regarding this procedure.
There are different types of otoplasty that can be performed. The most common form of this surgery is pinning back the ears. Many individuals are born with ears that are very prominent and stick out far. In most cases, this is not something that a person feels proud of. Instead, it causes them to feel bad about the way they look and may cause others to have a negative reaction to them.
In addition to being used to pin back the ears, otoplasty can also be used to make the outer ear larger or smaller. It can even be used to reshape portions of the outer ear. One example would be making the earlobes larger or smaller or removing bumps or other deformities. At times, individuals are born with defects that affect their ear or they may have damage done to their ear because of trauma. This could happen during an accident or even because of an ear piercing problem.
When otoplasty is used to pin back the ears, it is commonly done when a child is young. While this surgery can definitely be performed on children, it is never too late for an adult to improve their appearance by pinning back protruding ears. We warmly invite you to schedule a consultation with us. We can discuss your overall health and your age to be sure that you are a good candidate for the surgery.
It takes a little bit of time for you to recover from the surgery. However, once you have fully healed, you may be surprised at what a positive impact it has on your life. Most people report higher levels of self-confidence and a better quality of life overall.

The Internet is full of before and after photographs of individuals who have had a facelift performed. It is nice to look at these photographs because, in the vast majority of them, you can see a marked improvement in the appearance of the patient who had the facelift. When you look at someone who has undergone this procedure, you know that they look younger and better. However, it can be difficult to identify what exactly they had done or what it is about their face that has changed. That’s the beauty of this tried and true procedure.
A facelift is designed to enhance a person’s natural beauty and revive their youthful appearance. People who have had a good facelift generally love how the procedure allows their inner personality, which is often a lot younger than what their external appearance is, to shine through.
A facelift makes a patient look younger because it is designed to address specific problems that a person experiences with age. These problems include things like the loss of skin elasticity, lost muscle tone around the face and the neck, issues with the formation of jowls, and deep creases that can form on the corner of your mouth and the base of the nose. This procedure can also address the loss of contour around the chin and neck.
You have probably noticed a drastic difference in the way that a person looks when they had a facelift in recent years as opposed to someone who had undergone the procedure many years ago. This is because the techniques used for the procedure have changed drastically in just a few years. At the same time, the goals of a plastic surgeon when performing a facelift have also changed. Dr. Smith’s goal is to make a person look like a natural version of their younger self, not to make it look like they had work done. In fact, we are happiest when our patients come back and tell us that their friends and family members are complimenting them on their refreshed look but cannot tell that they actually had a surgical procedure done.
Some of the major changes that a facelift can accomplish include tightening your facial muscles. It is understandable that tightening the facial muscles will have a dramatic effect on your appearance since your muscles and underlying bone are what make up the structure of your face.
Once the underlying structure has been repaired, then loose and excess skin can be removed and tightened. Facial skin should never be over tightened. As a specialist in facial enhancement, Dr. Smith will know just how much he should tighten your skin without giving you a pulled appearance.
Finally, a facelift can restore some of the volume to your mid-face. You will be left with a more attractive jawline and an overall more naturally youthful appearance. At , our trusted and experienced plastic surgeon knows what it takes to make you naturally look your best. Contact our office in today to schedule your consultation.

To say that lip augmentation is a popular procedure would be an understatement. Every time a celebrity or reality star goes on television with freshly augmented lips, the popularity of the procedure grows. The reason why people are attracted to the idea of lip injections is because the fuller your lips look, the younger you appear. Of course, the augmentation has to be within reason. You do not want to have your lips so full that you look ridiculous. However, when lip augmentation is done by a professional with a good aesthetic eye, it can do wonders to soften your appearance, make you look younger and just make you look more attractive overall.
There are a lot of reasons why you might be interested in lip augmentation. For some people, nature was not that kind when it comes to the thickness of their lips. They were just born with naturally thin lips. And to make matters worse, as they are getting older, their lips are getting thinner. For some people, it gets the point that when they smile, their lips all but disappear. Thankfully, as a result of lip injections, having a plump pout is easier than ever before.
Lip injections can address the negative side effects that come with aging. As you age, the contours of your lips change. For some people, that change in the contour of their lips is not even. So, one side of the lip is a little bit thinner than the other. This only detracts from their overall appearance. These individuals see lip augmentation as a way of creating a face that is more inviting to others. They see lip augmentation as a way of redefining their face and helping their face conform to modern standards of beauty. When a person who has exceptionally thin lips sees their augmented lips in the mirror, they feel happy and they have an improved sense of self-confidence.
Most lip injections are based on hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a compound that everyone has in their body. It is what gives your skin a soft and moist feel. It is what helps to give your skin its volume. It is what keeps your lips looking healthy and full. Sometimes, fat may be used for lip augmentation.
The lip injection procedure is exceptionally simple. During the treatment, the filler or fat is skillfully injected into the lips. Taking the contour of your face and the shape of your lips into consideration, our experienced cosmetic professional will artfully help you craft lips that are full and attractive.

When you put on a new pair of jeans, you feel like a person. Just having clothing that fits your body right, looks nice, and is stylish changes the way that you feel about yourself, and it can even change the way that you present yourself to others. If this is true when it comes to clothing, think of how true this is when it comes to something as important as your face. When people look at your face, your nose is one of the first things they see. If you feel that your nose does not fit right on your face, it is likely that you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You do not have to deal with a nose that is not right for you. Rhinoplasty is designed to help adjust your nose so that it fits well with your face.
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is commonly referred to as a nose job. It is unquestionably one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed. People have rhinoplasty to reshape their nose because they do not like what nature gave them. Others have rhinoplasty to reshape their nose after suffering an accident or after suffering an injury.
While the majority of people have rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons, the procedure can also be performed to correct functional issues with the nose. There is often a link between a functional problem with your nose and an aesthetic problem with your nose. People who have rhinoplasty done are surprised when they see the positive effect this procedure has on their life.
Some of the Areas Where Rhinoplasty May Improve Your Life
Many men and women alike feel that their careers and social interactions improved after receiving a nose job. On the one hand, the improvement may be due to their increased confidence because of their new look. On the other hand, the improvement may be due to the way that people see them or the way that people react to them as a result of their new look. Most likely, however, the improvements in these areas of life can be attributed to a combination of the two.
Rhinoplasty can also help restore symmetry to your face. Since your nose is right in the center of your face, just a minor defect like a bulbous tip can have a powerful impact on your appearance. Other common reasons for rhinoplasty include a desire to reduce or increase the size of the nose, adjust the angle of the nose or correct the size or shape of the nostrils.
If you are unhappy with your nose, rhinoplasty can help. Dr. Smith can be your guide towards increased confidence and higher quality of life.
