Scar Removal
 Most scars can be helped, disguised, or on occasion made to disappear.  It depends on the size location, color of the skin, healing properties, sun exposure, and other factors.  If the skin goes along with some of the facial lines of expression, it is a more favorable result, however, if it goes across, then surgery is needed.  The end result is that of a scar that is less noticeable, camouflaged or disguised.  In all cases sun avoidance is essential.  If the scar goes across to a hair bearing area, after revising the scar surgically, small hair transplants can be placed and improved more.  Other facial scars like those of acne can be treated with a combination of techniques, such as medical microdermabrasion, chemicals, and or injection of collagen, or a technique called “skin undermining.”

Lip Augmentation
Thin lips can be augmented or enhanced through an implant, collagen injections, or even surgery according to the need.  Implants of synthetic material have the problem of extrusion since the lips are a very active part of our face.  Collagen injections are very effective in producing the so called “Paris” look.  This however is transitory.  For permanent effect, surgery is recommended.  This surgery is usually done in a doctor’s office, under local anesthesia.  

Rhinoplasty
Known as a “ nose job”, thousands of people choose to have surgery to improve the function and or appearance of their noses.  Since we are all different, the amount of surgery on a particular nose depends on the problems that need to be addressed.  Function is of utmost importance, even if the surgery is done for cosmetic reasons.  After a careful and detailed exam the surgeon may discuss drawings of your profile and on occasions advise such other procedures as a chin implant.  The effect may be out-striking.  This type of surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and takes approximately a week to recover.

Wrinkles
Most of the times these lines are caused by the natural movement of the muscles, beneath the skin.  Accentuated sometimes by the frown lines that we seem to acquire.  They become more noticeable when you raise your eyebrows.  These lines can be helped with one of several treatments:  non-surgical will be with the utilization of Botox(tm) and Collagen, however if the eyebrows have descended and are causing you a “sad” look, the solution is a forehead lift.  This of course involves surgery and the different techniques chosen by your surgeon depends on the individual patient.
