I see many patients that desire improvement in their faces. The most important aspect in my consultaion is listening to the patient. Some patients only request fillers, Botox or minor procedures to improve their wrinkles, deep lines or facial texture. Others prefer a more agressive approach that involves surgical correction. Every patient has certain goals. Depending on the amount of healing, “down time” and results, the surgeon should taper a facial plan that is appropriate for that person. The amount of improvement varies with each procedure. A competent surgeon will adjust their facial plan, according to the patient’s desires. The patients should be aware that plastic surgery is an art and over the years, different approaches are indicated.

Today most patients desire a short healing period, minimal scars and natural results following facial surgery. Depending on the patient’s age, skin quality and amount, short scar techniques are now available. With these techniques, incisions are made at the hair line or behind the temporal hair line and may extend in the contours of the ear. These incisions are essentially invisible once healing has occurred.
The main advantages of these techniques are the minimal scars and face recovery time. Surgery can be performed under local anesthesia. The surgery takes approximately two hours to complete. The bruising and swelling are minimal, allowing the patient to return to work within seven days. Make up is applied at one week and exercise is resumed in two to three weeks.
The results of this surgery are impressive. My patients are thrilled with these procedures. They are amazed at how much younger they appear but lack the stigmata of surgery. Their friends constantly tell them how good they look but are unable to detect that surgery has been performed. This is a procedure that I highly recommend in the patient who has the correct facial anatomy.

Serving Fullerton, Newport Beach, and all of Orange County
As we age, our faces droop and we develop lines. furrows and saggy skin. Surgery can correct many of these problems, but injecting the face with fillers can also minimize some of these problems.
Today, we have many options to fill or uplift the furrows and wrinkles around the mouth, in the cheek areas and eyes. We can combine these filling agents (Radiesse, Juvederm) with Botox or minor surgery to achieve facial harmony. As a specialist in facial rejuvenation, I have found by combining a number of techniques, individuals can achieve a very youthful appearance.

While most patients seeking cosmetic surgery are females, men are also excellent candidates for facial and body rejuvenation.
Men commonly develop bags of the lower eyelids and loose skin of the neck and are common candidates for Rhinoplasty. My male patients constantly complain of all the loose skin in their necks. This is corrected with a necklift. In some patients, a direct excision of neck skin is indicated.
Male patients have less bruising of their skin than women. Recovery is fast!!!! Most men are back to work at one week. After performing hundreds of these surgeries, and being considered an Orange County Male cosmetic surgery specialist; I have found my male patients to be extremely pleased with this surgery.
