Gravity is a great thing. Without it we would not be able to walk, and life would not exist on the planet. For all of its benefits, the constant force of gravity on the human body also has some negative consequences. This is because gravity is constantly pulling our facial structure down. As a person gets older and as the muscles and other tissues in their face become weaker, they eventually succumb to the force of gravity. As a result, a person might have a forehead that is full of furrows. The youthful contour they once had slowly goes away and is replaced with a forehead that looks older, saggy, grumpy and full of tension. In addition to affecting the appearance of their forehead, gravity can also change the way a person’s upper eyelids and eyebrows look. Thankfully, there are tools that you can use to combat the negative effects of gravity. These tools include a brow lift.
Brow lifts come in a variety of styles. Different techniques may be used during the procedure, depending on the situation. For example, some brow lifts can be minimally-invasive using an endoscope.
You may want to consider having a brow lift if you feel like your sagging eyebrows make you look tired, they make you look grumpy or they negatively impact your appearance. If you have a deep crease across your forehead or if you have skin that hangs over your eyes, this procedure can likely help.
Some of the benefits of a brow lift include how the procedure can improve your appearance. It leaves you looking more alert and gives your brow a more youthful appearance. This procedure can make you look happier and make you more approachable. This will have a positive effect on both your personal and your business life.
When you sit down with our experienced surgeon at , he can explain to you some of the brow lift techniques that are available and help you see if a brow lift is what you need to get the results you want.

BOTOX® is a great product that can be used to help you reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles on the face. Even though almost everyone has heard of this product, not everyone necessarily understands how it works or trusts that it can help them to improve their appearance.
One of the things that makes people feel a little bit nervous when thinking about using BOTOX® is the fact that the product is used to relax the muscles in the face. This means that their facial movements change. While this may sound a little scary, you do not have to be worried about not being able to make normal expressions. You will still be able to laugh, frown and make all of your usual expressions. However, the skin on top of your muscles will remain smooth rather than showing wrinkles. This treatment will help you to enjoy a more youthful appearance. It will help you to reduce dynamic wrinkles on your face.
Something else that not everyone understands about BOTOX® is that it is not designed to treat all of the wrinkles that a person may have. It is designed to treat dynamic wrinkles. These are the kind of wrinkles that happen because you spend years and years making facial expressions, and so the skin on top of those facial muscles will crease over the years.
BOTOX® is a temporary treatment. The results generally last for around three to six months, depending on the situation. The good news is these treatments can be safely repeated at our office multiple times a year for ongoing benefits. This means that you can continue to enjoy a more youthful appearance.

A traditional facelift is performed to smooth out the entire lower half of the face. This is accomplished by lifting away the skin and draping it back into place after some skin has been removed. If only a localized area of the face needs smoothing, such as the jawline, a limited incision facelift, also known as a mini facelift, can be performed.
A mini facelift is a rather simple surgical procedure because only tiny incisions are made, and any subdermal tissue repositioning or removal can be accomplished through the use of tiny tools. This procedure can greatly improve the appearance of the jawline by eliminating sagging jowls.
Versus a Traditional Facelift
A mini facelift is a much simpler procedure because it treats only the skin and subdermal tissue around the jaw. This makes it appealing as an alternative to a traditional facelift because the incisions are smaller, and the overall procedure is less invasive.
Ideal Candidates
The jawline can be a depository for excess fatty tissue. This results in a drooping of the skin, the appearance of jowls and some folding of the skin on the upper neck. If the skin can be pulled upward and outward, the folding disappears and the jowls are much less noticeable. Adults in good overall health who have otherwise taut skin on their cheeks and upper face but who suffer from drooping skin on the jaw are ideal candidates for a mini facelift.
A Simple Outpatient Procedure
When we perform a mini facelift, we give the client a localized anesthetic with sedation. General anesthesia through intravenous means is rarely necessary. This is an outpatient procedure that is performed in the comfort of our surgical suite. You are able to go home on the same day as your procedure.
Long-Lasting Results
The skin will now be more taut and smooth, and the jawline will no longer show drooping. The uppermost portion of the neck skin will also show improvement. Properly performed, a mini facelift can result in visual improvement for a long time.

There are several different ways that an earlobe can become damaged, and in many cases, it’s a problem that people are born with. Some people sustain earlobe damage from piercings or traumatic injuries, and to regain a normal appearance, the best bet is usually earlobe repair.
What Can Be Corrected with Earlobe Repair Surgery?
Various hereditary issues can cause elongated lobes, and these abnormalities can be fixed with surgery. Earlobe repair is also useful for fixing stretched and torn earlobes. When your earlobes don’t look right, your self-esteem can take a major hit, and you might become extremely self-conscious about your appearance. Earlobe surgery is commonly used to correct a bifid earlobe, which is a deformation that occurs at birth.
Common Ear Malformations
Newborns can suffer from a variety of birth defects, and these malformations occur while the baby is still inside of the uterus. In some cases, the problem is corrected at birth, but some parents decide to have the issue fixed later in the child’s life. If left untreated, ear malformations can result in cosmetic issues, hearing loss and developmental delays.
A malformed earlobe can even cause problems with nearby nerves, bones, muscles and cartilage. Experts don’t fully understand the causes of earlobe malformations, but it’s believed that they might be caused by a poor blood supply, viral infections, genetic mutations or exposure to certain toxins.
Why Choose Earlobe Repair?
Earlobe repair surgery can repair bifid, stretched or torn earlobes, and some of these problems are caused by heavy earrings. When it comes to plastic surgery, earlobe repair is quite simple, and it’s not nearly as complicated as some other types of surgery.
A torn earlobe can be painful, and it’s not something that is pleasant to look at. Since earlobes are made of soft tissue and fat, they have a pliable, soft structure. Heavy earrings can cause your earlobes to stretch, and over time, the stretching may require repairs.
What to Expect
Earlobe repair surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. Before the procedure, you’ll be able to discuss the repair options for your earlobe, and the techniques used will depend on your unique anatomy.

Sagging skin around the eyes can cause more than one problem. The most obvious one is with appearance. If you have sagging skin in this area, it can make you look older than you really are. Another problem that can be caused by sagging skin is a decrease in visibility. This happens when the skin sags enough that it actually covers part of the eye.
Eyelid surgery is a method that has been in use for quite some time to tighten this loose skin. It can be done on both the upper and lower eyelids. When it is done on the upper eyelids, the excess skin that is causing the sagging can be removed. Surgery on the lower eyelids will likely involve the removal of some skin as well. The exact details of each procedure vary from patient to patient, since each individual and situation is unique.
This type of surgery is also known as blepharoplasty. Sometimes, the procedure is done along with other treatments and/or procedures that will target fine lines and wrinkles.
Both wrinkles and sagging eyelids are common parts of the aging process. With age comes loose skin. When the skin becomes loose, it wrinkles or sags. The pull of gravity can pull the upper eyelids down to where they cover part of the eyeball. It will also pull the lower eyelids away from the eyeball. This is complicated by the fact that the muscles become weaker with age, making it more difficult for them to hold the eyelids in place.
Another thing that can happen with age is fat deposits moving into the eyelids. This happens when membranes that hold these fat pockets in place become weaker. This allows the fat that was formerly in place as a cushion between the eye and the skull to move into the eyelid. The excess fat in the eyelids is frequently removed with eyelid surgery as well.
Eyelid surgery is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your appearance. If you have sagging skin around your eyes, make an appointment at to see if eyelid surgery is right for you. Dr. Smith and his team of professionals would be happy to address whatever questions or concerns you may have as they determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Your face is your calling card to the world, the first thing people notice about you. You want it to look its best. You can use great skin care products and cosmetics to enhance your appearance, but you can’t change the structure of your face. If you are lacking volume in certain areas of your face due to aging or you would like to give your face more definition, there is nothing that you can do on your own to solve your problem. However, you can put yourself in the hands of our talented plastic surgeon and benefit from a fat transfer.
What is the Story Behind Fat Transfers?
A fat transfer is a popular procedure that more and more people are using in order to sculpt their bodies, giving them more volume when they are lacking fullness. The main goal is to use fat from one part of your body where there is an excess. Once the fat is removed, it must be purified. After purification is complete, the fat can be injected into the area(s) of concern. If you have some unwanted fat somewhere on your body, it can be put to good use when you transfer some of it to your face.
How Can a Fat Transfer Procedure be Used to Sculpt Your Face?
Once fat has been removed and purified, our plastic surgeon will choose key areas where your face can be sculpted to your liking. If you want more definition, fat can be transferred to certain areas of your face, changing the shape without inserting implants. If hollows have developed anywhere in your face, your fat can transform your appearance. A fat transfer can smooth away those troubling wrinkles that are making you look older than you are. You can even have fat transferred to your lips to make them plumper, if you would like. Your procedure will be customized to give you the results that you want to see.
Why Choose a Fat Transfer?
When you opt for a fat transfer, you will be turning to a natural solution. You won’t be injecting anything artificial into your body. You can also be spared the more involved procedure of having implants inserted into your face. Use what you have and make the most of it to sculpt your facial features.
