Today, cosmetic surgery is for people from all walks of life who want to look better and feel better. Today’s advanced techniques and proven procedures are more effective and long lasting than ever before.

This procedure section contains information on a variety of plastic surgery procedures I perform. This site has been developed to help you understand what cosmetic surgery can do for you. A strong emphasis has been placed on before and after photographs of patients I have treated. The essence of a plastic surgeon’s work can only be judged by seeing his or her results. These patients have given permission for the use of their photos on the web. Many more patients have allowed me to show their photographs one on one, to perspective patients during an office consultation.

Face Procedures:

Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery can remove the excess fat and drooping skin of the upper eyelids, minimize bags under the eyes, and tighten lower eyelid skin. The result is a more youthful and rested appearance.

Chin Augmentation

The contour of the chin, the nasal profile, and the angularity of the jawline all exert an effect on facial beauty. For example, a strong nose will accentuate a weak chin. A chin implant can restore facial harmony and give the entire profile a more pleasing balance.

Cleft Lip Repair

Anticipating the birth of a child is an exciting event. The child who is so eagerly awaited is not visualized as a child with a defect. To the parents, the birth of a child with a cleft can seem overwhelming. The mother of a child with a significant cleft lip deformity can feel a sense of despair upon the birth of the child, which is compounded by the inevitable initial feeding difficulties. The surgeons’ role at the initial consultation is to provide reassurance to the family.

Lip Augmentation

Pretty, full lips convey a look of youth and sensuality. Not everyone is born with full lips, and those who are often find their youthful lips lose their fullness with time. Collagen and fat injection are the most reliable procedures to restore the fullness to a woman’s lips.
