Facial Procedures
Face
Lift
Sun exposure, weight fluctuation, and the
natural aging process make skin loosen and
sag, resulting in wrinkles and jowls. Face
lift is a surgical procedure designed to
eliminate wrinkles and smooth out the skin
across the face, restoring your youthful
appearance. Fresh, taut skin can make you
look decades younger! During the procedure,
discreet incisions are made along the hairline,
ears, or chin, and excess skin is lifted
and removed. The remaining skin is then
smoothed, tightened, and carefully stitched
in place. Face lift is commonly performed
in conjunction with other surgeries such
as eye lift or neck liposuction for even
more beautiful results. To learn more about
face lift, please contact
the Laser Clinic today.
Brow
Lift
Those horizontal lines on our foreheads
or creases above our noses can make us look
tired, sad, angry, or older than we truly
are. A forehead lift can take years –
even a decade – off our faces by tightening
and lifting the skin on our foreheads, thereby
eliminating wrinkles and expression lines.
The end result is a more refreshed, youthful
appearance. In a forehead lift, incisions
are first made above the hairline to avoid
visible scarring. Dr. López then
removes the excess tissue and muscle that
makes the brow sag and lifts and tightens
the skin, resulting in a smooth, beautiful
appearance. To find out if a forehead lift
is right for you, please contact
our practice today.
Eye
Lift (Blepharoplasty)
Droopy, puffy eyes and eyelids can make
you appear tired or older than you are.
Eyelid surgery can restore the skin around
your eyes to its natural, youthful appearance
and drastically reduce the signs of aging.
In some cases, it can even improve vision
impaired by sagging lids. During the eye
lift, inconspicuous incisions are made along
the lids, and excess fat, muscle, and skin
are trimmed away from the eyelid. The remaining
tissue is then lifted and carefully secured
in place. If you would like to learn more
about eyelid surgery, please contact
us today.
Feather-Lift
The feather-lift is a non surgical approach
to facial lifting utilizing the patented ”Aptos threads.” These threads
are made of a monifilament material called
polypropylene. Aptos threads are designed
with directional cogs. Once inserted under
the skin, the Aptos thread cogs will form
a support structure for the tissue of the
face. Patients with drooping of the soft
tissue of the face and neck, weakly pronounced
aesthetic contours, flaccid flat faces,
premature aging, and sundamaged faces are
the best candidate for Aptos. This procedure
is safe, quick and easy to perform. The
Aptos threads are inserted into the subcutaneous
fat, at a required depth, along previously
marked contours. With this procedure, patients
may return to work in less than a week with
no scars and minimal discomfort. If you
would like to discuss your particular case
with Dr. Lopez, please set up a consultation
with us today.
Nose
Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Changing the shape or size of your nose
may be something you have wanted to do for
a long time. Rhinoplasty can adjust both
the size and shape of your nose to make
it more esthetically pleasing. It can also
correct breathing abnormalities and other
functional problems due to problems with
the internal structure of the nose. During
rhinoplasty, incisions are made along the
rims of the nostrils to avoid visible scarring.
Then extra cartilage is removed and the
bones are carefully reset to reshape the
nose for the desired look. If you think
that rhinoplasty is the right procedure
for you, please contact
the Laser Clinic today.
Ear
Surgery (Otoplasty)
Ear surgery is commonly performed to reduce
oversized ears, correct misshapen or poorly
formed ears, or pin large or protruding
ears closer to the head. Of these procedures,
ear pinning is the most frequently performed
surgery and is usually done on children
between the ages of five and 14, though
it can be performed on adults as well. It
is a safe and highly effective procedure
that can improve both appearance and self-confidence.
First, an incision is made behind the ear
and excess cartilage removed. Remaining
cartilage is then sutured—or pinned—into
place and left to heal. If you think you
or your child might be a candidate for ear
surgery, please contact
us today to find out more.
Chin
Implants
Chin implants are designed to help bring
definition to the lower portion of the face.
Chin and jowl implants can strengthen a
person’s jaw, bringing balance and
harmony to the entire face. Facial implants
are placed through discreet incisions to
minimize or eliminate scarring. To learn
more about chin implants, please contact
us today.
Neck
Liposuction
Often performed in conjunction with a neck
lift, neck liposuction can restore a beautiful
neckline and, along with it, a more youthful
appearance. Liposuction is a surgical procedure
that can be used to target the problematic
fatty tissue around the neck, leaving your
face and neck looking more streamlined and
in better proportion with the rest of the
body. First, a small incision is made in
the area to be liposuctioned. Next, a thin,
hollow tube is inserted into the incision,
and fat cells, pockets, and tissues are
vacuumed out and discarded, resulting in
a slender new facial profile. To find out
if neck liposuction is right for you, please
contact
our practice today.
Mole
Removal
Unsightly moles, especially those on the
face and neck, often leave patients feeling
unhappy with their appearance. There is
no reason to endure these blemishes. Mole
removal is a fast and simple procedure.
Moles are easily removed with a minor incision
around the mole and, generally, one to two
stitches after removal. If you have an unsightly
mole that you would like to have removed,
contact Dr. López today for help.
Chemical
Peel
A chemical peel is an excellent way to refresh
and rejuvenate wrinkled, spotted, or otherwise
aged skin’s youthful appearance. A
specially formulated chemical solution is
applied to the skin to remove damaged outer
layers and expose the fresh, smooth, unblemished
skin beneath. To learn more about chemical
peels, please contact
us today.
Skin
Injection Treatments
Time, gravity and sunlight all contribute
to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
on the face. At the Laser Clinic, we can’t
change the laws of physics but we can help
to soften their affects. We offer a wide
range of skin injection treatments –
including fat injections, Botox, lip augmentation
and other name-brand products such as Reviderm
(hialuronic acid) – to help reduce
the appearance of unsightly lines and wrinkles,
giving the face a more vibrant, youthful
appearance. These injections can be used
on their own or in combination with surgical
procedures such as resurfacing or lifting
procedures. Contact
us today to learn more about our skin injection
treatments.
Fat
Injections
Fat injections can be used to fill in wrinkles
and lines, create contour in the face and
lips, and fill in scars. Because they use
fat from one area of a patient's body to
fill in another, there is no chance of allergy
or incompatibility. During the procedure,
fat is first taken from a donor site on
the patient’s body, frequently the
buttocks or abdomen, and then re-injected
into the treatment area, giving the patient
a smooth, full result. If you would like
to learn more about fat injections, please contact
the Laser Clinic today.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
There’s no reason to hide behind ugly
crows feet, unsightly smile lines, and other
wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic, a purified chemical that
is injected into the skin to reduce the
appearance of wrinkles, relaxes facial muscles
in the target area to smooth out wrinkles
and return your vibrant, youthful appearance.
In addition, BOTOX® Cosmetic can now be injected into
the underarms every six months to completely
eliminate sweating! To learn more about
BOTOX® Cosmetic, please contact
us today.
