Facial Plastic Surgery Services Include:

A facelift is a highly sought-after facial plastic surgery procedure used to improve the appearance of aging skin. Facelifts can help to reduce wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. By removing excess fat and skin and tightening underlying tissues, a facelift can help to restore a youthful, vibrant look. It is important to seek a qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeon for this procedure. A facelift is a great way to look and feel your best and regain a youthful, more vibrant appearance.

As a plastic surgeon, I am proud to offer neck lift surgery. Neck lift surgery is designed to correct signs of aging in the neck, such as sagging skin, loose neck muscles, and fat accumulation. It can also improve the appearance of the jawline and provide a more youthful, rejuvenated look. The neck lift procedure is minimally invasive, so recovery is typically fast, and results are long-lasting. A neck lift can be a great option to restore a more youthful and attractive neckline.

 

Liposuction of the neck will remove excess fat under the chin (double chin) and along the jawline but cannot significantly improve sagging skin. Generally, younger patients have good skin elasticity, which is necessary for the skin to contract smoothly and evenly after liposuction. Typically, most neck liposuction candidates are younger, between their 20s and early 50s.

drvagotis - Nose Reshaping
drvagotis - Rhinoplasty

As a plastic surgeon, I am proud to offer a variety of nose surgery procedures to my patients to improve the appearance of their noses and overall facial features. Nose surgery, also known as rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure that can be used to change the shape, size, or appearance of the nose. Rhinoplasty can also be used to correct issues with breathing caused by structural defects. Depending on the patient's desired outcome, various types of nose surgery are available. These procedures can include reconstruction, augmentation, reduction, and alteration. Reconstruction nose surgery is used to correct structural defects that can cause difficulty in breathing or even deformities. Augmentation surgery is used to increase the size and shape of the nose, while reduction surgery can be used to reduce the size of the nose. Altering the shape of the nose can be accomplished with various techniques, such as removing a bump or reshaping the nostrils. No matter the type of nose surgery, the goal is to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing nose and improved breathing. I strive to provide my patients with the best possible outcome from their nose surgery and am dedicated to helping them achieve their desired results.

drvagotis - Otoplasty

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, improves the appearance of a patient's ears. Otoplasty can reshape, resize, reposition, or reconstruct the ears for a more aesthetically pleasing look. The procedure can also correct birth defects like protruding or abnormally shaped ears. Several ear surgeries are available, each designed to address a specific issue. Ear pinning, also known as ear tuck or ear setback, is a common procedure used to reduce the appearance of protruding ears. The procedure involves reshaping the cartilage and tissue of the ear, then suturing the ear to the head to change the angle of the ear. Otoplasty can also be used to reduce the size of the ears, reshape ears that have abnormal folds or creases, or correct asymmetrical ears. Other procedures, such as ear lobe reduction, can also be used to reshape and resize the ear lobe for a more aesthetically pleasing look. No matter the type of ear surgery, the procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Depending on the type of procedure, it can take one to two hours to complete.

Chin Implants - Genioplasty
Chin Implants

Greetings, as a board-certified plastic surgeon. When looking for changes in your appearance, you want someone with expertise, compassion, and a knack for artistry. That's what I bring to the table.

Now, you've asked about genioplasty. In simplest terms, it's a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the chin's shape and position. Whether augmenting a small or recessive chin, reducing a prominent one, or correcting asymmetries or deformities due to congenital conditions or trauma, genioplasty offers tailored solutions to help you achieve a balanced, harmonious facial profile.

During a genioplasty procedure, we meticulously modify the chin bone—either advancing it forward, pushing it backward, or shifting it side to side—and secure it in its new position. Implants may also be used in some cases. The goal is to provide an aesthetically pleasing result and enhance overall facial symmetry, which is key to what we perceive as beauty.

Why choose me for your chin augmentation? Well, I bring a comprehensive understanding of facial aesthetics to my work. With years of experience in the field, I approach each patient individually, creating a customized surgical plan that best suits their facial features and aesthetic goals.

My team and I are dedicated to ensuring your safety and satisfaction throughout the surgical journey. We prioritize open communication, discussing every detail of the procedure and recovery to ensure you're thoroughly prepared and comfortable with the process.

Lastly, my commitment to patient care doesn't end in the operating room. Post -operative care is crucial to achieving the best results, and my team and I are there every step of the way, ensuring your healing process goes as smoothly as possible.

So, if you're considering genioplasty or any other plastic surgical procedure, I invite you to schedule a consultation. Let's work together to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence. Because at the end of the day, your self-esteem is our highest priority.
