Facial Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic Septorhinoplasty

While the nose is perhaps the most prominent feature of the face, it should not be the focus of attention. Many patients desire changes to their nose, both for functional as well as cosmetic purposes. The goal of rhinoplasty (nose job) is to improve/maintain function, while bringing a balanced aesthetic so the nose is not the main focus of the face. Whether a primary or revision rhinoplasty, we specialize in bringing form and function into a harmonious balance, customized for each individual patient.

Revision Septorhinoplasty

In some cases, revision septorhinoplasty is required to address concerns that develop after an initial septorhinoplasty. Dr. Goodrich has extensive experience performing these often challenging procedures, to form and function into a harmonious balance.

Facelift

The goals of a lower face and neck lift are to treat jowling and sagging of the lower face and neck, which are due to aging, as well as tightening up loose skin which manifests as excess skin and wrinkles. The incisions are disguised to limit visibility. Our ultimate goal is to create a rejuvenated, natural look that does not appear “done.” Based on anatomy and each patient’s individual goals, a treatment plan is devised to balance outcome and recovery time.

Mini Lift

Mini Lift is a technique used to treat mild to moderate jowling along the jawline. This is an excellent option for early jowling, when there is minimal aging of the neck and neck lift is not required. The incisions are disguised to limit visibility, leading to a natural, rejuvenated appearance.

Direct Submentoplasty

Direct Submentoplasty is a technique used to treat aging changes of the neck, such as “turkey gobbler” neck. It is an excellent technique for male patients with excessive skin laxity, and can be performed under local anesthesia.

Neck and Chin Lipo Sculpting

Many patients suffer from excess fat in the area under their chin, which affects definition of the jawline and neck. This can affect men and women of all ages. Liposuction assists in recontouring the under-chin area to better define the jawline. This can be performed alone, and is often performed as part of facial rejuvenation package including lower face and neck lift.

Neck and Chin Lipo Sculpting with Facetite

Many patients suffer from excess fat in the area under their chin. This can affect men and women of all ages. Liposuction assists in recontouring the under-chin area to better define the jawline. When combined with FaceTite, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the skin to improve skin laxity. This procedure can be performed in the office under local anesthesia.

Chin Implant

Often overlooked, a well-positioned chin greatly contributes to a harmonious facial balance. A chin implant helps improve the appearance of a small chin or jaw.

Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal is performed to give definition to the lower cheek area in patients who perceive an undesired fullness of the lower face.

Facial Fat Transfer

Loss of facial fat volume is a hallmark of the aging process, and can also follow significant weight loss. When the volume of fat in the face is lost, it creates a hollow, shadowed or aged appearance beyond one’s actual age. Restoring lost facial volume is critical in maintaining a youthful and healthy appearance. During this procedure, fat is removed from the belly or thighs and is redistributed to areas in the face. This procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia, and will not only restore fullness and youth to the face, but will also improve skin brightness and complexion.

Brow Lift

Raising the eyebrows to a more elevated, arched position restores a youthful configuration and brings light to the eye and reduces heaviness of the upper eyelid skin. There are several surgical approaches to elevate the eye brows, including endoscopic brow lift, direct brow lift, and lateral brow lift. The treatment plan will be tailored to each individual patient’s anatomy and desires.

Upper Blepharoplasty

During the aging process, the skin of the upper eyelid becomes more lax and wrinkled, and there is prominence of the fat pads which results in fullness and heaviness of the upper lid. In some cases, the excess amount of skin can be so severe that it interferes with the ability to see. With an upper blepharoplasty, the excess skin and fat are removed, the eyes are restored to their more youthful configuration, thereby drawing focus to the eye, which should be the centerpiece of the face.

Lower Blepharoplasty

During the aging process, the skin of the lower eyelid becomes more lax and wrinkled, and there is prominence of the fat pads under the eye. This leads to the appearance of bags under the eyes. Aging of the lower eye can also cause a hollowed, “tired” appearance due to the disruption in the natural transition between the eyelid and cheek. With lower lid blepharoplasty, the eyes are restored to their more youthful configuration, thereby drawing focus to the eye, which should be the centerpiece of the face.

Otoplasty

In many cultures, having prominence of the auricle (outer ear) is considered beneficial and is thought to convey wisdom. While respecting culture differences and diversity, many parents of young children, as well as adults, desire to permanently reduce the prominence of their auricle (outer ear). With minimal downtime and instantaneous results, this is truly a life-changing procedure.

Lip Lift

For patients who desire a permanent solution to a thin upper lip, a surgical lip lift is a wonderful option. This procedure will permanently elevate and evert the upper lip, leaving a fuller, more voluminous upper lip without needing to return to office for routine injections.

Scar Revision

Many patients have scars which are more prominent than otherwise desired. WE offer many treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, to mitigate the visibility of scars. While scars cannot be fully erased, improvements can be made in scars of any longevity to improve tethering or appearance.

Mole Excision and Skin Tag Removal

For patients who find facial moles and skin tags bothersome, we offer removal of these lesions in the comfort of the office.
