FACE

Everyone wants to put their best face forward, and Community Memorial’s specialty-trained plastic and cosmetic surgeons have extensive experience helping patients achieve a more youthful, toned, and symmetrical aesthetic. Using a variety of procedures such as facelift, rhinoplasty (nose sculpting), eye lift, brow lift, and more, our experts can enhance or correct any feature of your face and help you shine.

Facelift

A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure to achieve a more youthful look by smoothing facial skin and reducing sagging in the cheeks and jawline. Facelift techniques vary based on your unique needs and preferences, and some are more extensive and complex than others. Facelift options include:

Traditional Facelift – A traditional facelift address visible signs of aging from the jaw to the forehead. During this procedure, the surgeon separates the skin from the muscles of your face and neck, removing fat and excess skin. The remaining skin is then repositioned over the face in a natural way, resulting in a refreshed appearance with fewer deep wrinkles and creases.
Mid Facelift – A mid-facelift smooths and tightens the skin in the middle of the face, enhancing the cheek area, as well as the space from under the eyes to the corners of the mouth.
Mini Facelift – Mini facelifts are often recommended for younger patients with fewer deep wrinkles and creases. This procedure typically targets the lower face and neck.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, or nose resculpting, can help address any concerns you have with the size, shape, or proportions of your nose. Our expert surgeons will work with you to understand your specific concerns, and then devise a plan to reshape and/or resize your nose for an appearance that is balanced with your other facial features. Rhinoplasty may be performed for a variety of reasons:

Reshape the nose to make it more proportional or symmetrical, or change the angle of the nose
Make the nose smaller or larger
Change the shape of the tip of the nose
Remodel the bridge of the nose to eliminate a bump or straighten a crooked nose
Reshape or reduce the size of the nostrils

In addition to meeting aesthetic goals, rhinoplasty can address congenital defects or life-long medical issues such as breathing or sinus problems.

Brow Lift

Sings of aging, stress, and sun damage often manifest in a furrowed brow or deep wrinkles and creases in the forehead. A brow lift addresses these signs of aging by smoothing and tightening the skin above and between the brows.

Neck Lift

Over time, sun exposure, aging, and weight fluctuations can reduce the skin’s elasticity, resulting in folds, creases, and deep wrinkles in the neck and jaw areas. Using various approaches depending on your anatomy and specific concerns, our expert surgeons can create a long-lasting, more youthful appearance by removing excess fat and tightening the skin on and around the neck.

Neck lift techniques include:

Liposuction – removal of fat deposits under the chin and around the jaw
Anterior neck lift – incision under the chin, and reshaping and tightening of the tissues of the neck
Extended neck lift – usually done in combination with a face lift, this approach usually involves incisions under the chin, in front of the ears, and along the hairline
Z-Plasty – removal of large amounts of excess skin and fat from under the jaw and the front of the neck

Eyelid Surgery

Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery creates a smoother, more relaxed look around the eyes. This rejuvenating surgical procedure also reduces puffiness, sagging, and bags under the eyes.

Eyelid surgery can also address vision issues associated with sagging skin or the drooping of the upper eyelid – a condition known as ptosis. Variations of eyelid surgery include:

Upper blepharoplasty addresses the look and tightness of the skin on and above the upper eyelids
Lower blepharoplasty removes excess skin, fat, or bags from the lower eyelid area
Complete blepharoplasty refreshes both the upper and lower eye areas

Chin & Cheek Augmentation

Chin and cheek augmentation recontour and add volume to your face, creating a more youthful, balanced appearance. In both procedures, the surgeon makes a small, hidden incision, inserts an implant, and shapes/manipulates the implant to achieve the desired result.

Both implants are made of silicone elastomer and add definition to the face where aging or injury has created a loss of contour. Chin and cheek augmentation are usually performed as outpatient procedures and take an hour or less to complete.

If your cheeks or jawline feels sunken, narrowed, or flat, chin or cheek augmentation can take years off your appearance and add a youthful fullness to your face.

Otoplasty

Otoplasty reshapes and repositions the ears to correct issues you may have with their size or appearance. Using small, discrete incisions behind the ears, our surgeons can sculpt and reshape ear cartilage and skin address:

Protruding ears, also known as pinna ears
Ear deformities due to injury or birth defect
Abnormally large ears
Earlobe defects
Split earlobe or gaged ear

If you are uncomfortable with the appearance of your ears, our specially-trained surgeons can address your concerns and help you look and feel your best!
