Refresh and Rejuvenate Your Appearance with Advanced Facial Surgery

As we age, our facial features naturally change due to the effects of time, gravity, and environmental factors. For those looking to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance, facial cosmetic surgery can provide lasting and natural-looking results. Dr. Rebecca Studinger offers a variety of facial procedures designed to address signs of aging, improve facial contours, and enhance your overall appearance.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Brighten and Refresh Tired Eyes with Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure that rejuvenates the upper or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. This surgery is ideal for patients who feel their eyes appear tired, heavy, or aged due to sagging skin or under-eye bags. Eyelid surgery can restore a more youthful, alert appearance to the eyes, making you look more rested and refreshed.

  • Ideal Candidates: Individuals with sagging upper eyelids, puffiness, or bags under the eyes that affect their appearance or vision.
  • Procedure: Excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed from the upper and/or lower eyelids to create a smoother, more youthful contour.
  • Recovery Time: Swelling and bruising typically subside within 1-2 weeks, and most patients can resume normal activities during this time. Full healing can take 4-6 weeks.
  • Results: Brighter, more youthful-looking eyes with a refreshed and rested appearance.

Brow Lift

Lift and Smooth Your Forehead for a Refreshed Look

A brow lift is a cosmetic surgery designed to reduce wrinkles and lift sagging skin on the forehead and brow area. Over time, the skin on the forehead can lose elasticity, causing the eyebrows to droop and the forehead to develop deep lines. A brow lift tightens the skin and underlying tissues, creating a smoother, more youthful look.

  • Ideal Candidates: Individuals with deep forehead wrinkles, frown lines, or sagging eyebrows that contribute to a tired or stern appearance.
  • Procedure: Small incisions are made along the hairline, and the skin and underlying tissues are lifted to smooth the forehead and elevate the brows.
  • Recovery Time: Most patients can resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery expected in 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising will subside during this time.
  • Results: A smoother forehead, lifted brows, and a more youthful, relaxed expression.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

Turn Back the Clock with a Facelift

A facelift is the gold standard in facial rejuvenation surgery. This procedure targets sagging skin, deep creases, and loose facial muscles to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. By addressing the lower face and neck, a facelift smooths wrinkles, redefines the jawline, and lifts the cheeks, providing a natural, long-lasting result.

  • Ideal Candidates: Individuals with sagging skin, jowls, deep creases, and loss of facial volume who are looking for a comprehensive solution to signs of aging.
  • Procedure: The skin is lifted and tightened, and the underlying facial muscles are repositioned to achieve a more youthful contour. Excess skin is removed, and the incisions are discreetly placed for minimal visible scarring.
  • Recovery Time: Initial recovery takes about 2-3 weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities during this time. Full healing and the final results are visible after 4-6 weeks.
  • Results: A firmer, smoother face with a more youthful contour that can last for many years.

Partial Facelift

Subtle Rejuvenation with a Partial Facelift

A partial facelift, also known as a mini facelift, is a targeted procedure that focuses on specific areas such as the mid-face, jawline, or neck. This less invasive option is perfect for individuals with early signs of aging who want to refresh their appearance without undergoing a full facelift. By lifting and tightening sagging skin and tissues, a partial facelift creates a more youthful and natural look with minimal downtime.

  • Ideal Candidates: Individuals with mild to moderate sagging in the lower face, jawline, or neck who want a less invasive alternative to a full facelift.
  • Procedure: Small incisions are made around the ears, through which the skin and underlying tissue are lifted and tightened. The technique is tailored to the patient’s specific concerns, ensuring subtle, natural results.
  • Recovery Time: Most patients can return to light activities in 1-2 weeks, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are typically mild and resolve quickly.
  • Results: A smoother, more youthful jawline and mid-face, with natural results that enhance your overall appearance.

Neck Lift

Achieve a Smoother, More Defined Neck and Jawline

A neck lift focuses on tightening loose skin and removing excess fat from the neck and jawline. This procedure is ideal for individuals with sagging skin under the chin (sometimes called "turkey neck") or those with excess fat that causes a loss of definition in the jawline. A neck lift can significantly enhance the overall harmony of the face, providing a more youthful and refined profile.

  • Ideal Candidates: Individuals with loose, sagging skin or excess fat in the neck and jawline that detracts from the natural contours of their face.
  • Procedure: The skin and underlying tissues are lifted and tightened, and excess fat is removed to create a smoother, more defined neck and jawline.
  • Recovery Time: Most patients can return to light activities in 1-2 weeks, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common in the first few weeks but subside as healing progresses.
  • Results: A smoother, firmer neck with improved jawline definition for a more youthful, balanced appearance.

Otoplasty

Refine Your Profile with Otoplasty

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is designed to reshape or reposition the ears, creating a more balanced and proportionate appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals with prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears, providing natural, harmonious results that enhance facial symmetry and boost confidence.

  • Ideal Candidates: Individuals with prominent ears, asymmetry, or deformities seeking a more balanced and proportionate facial profile.
  • Procedure: The ears are carefully reshaped and repositioned closer to the head, with incisions strategically placed behind the ears to minimize visible scarring. Cartilage may be trimmed, reshaped, or pinned for optimal results.
  • Recovery Time: Most patients return to daily activities within 1-2 weeks, with full healing occurring in 4-6 weeks.
  • Results: Improved ear shape and position for a more symmetrical, balanced, and confident appearance.
