Concern
Skin cancer on the face is particularly common amongst people of Caucasian descent. In particular, the Basal cell carcinoma or the Squamous cell carcinoma can be found on noses and lips.

Treatment
This surgery can be performed under local anesthesia. The removal of these tumors with a safe margin is key in treating these conditions. The excised tissue must be examined by a pathologist to determine if the excision of the cancer is complete and the wound closure must only be performed after the pathologist has verified safe margin achievement. Reconstruction can be undertaken on the same day in some cases. The reconstruction technique depends very much on the localization of the tumor and its size with suture removal after 7 days.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 1-3 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area and apply a compress for a day. Expect swelling up to one week.

Concern
The upper eyelid is particularly prone to sagging and in so doing contributes to the look of aging. Functionally, the sagging upper eyelid can cause a severe reduction of the visual field (area that you can see) and lead to chronic headaches and irritation of the eyes.

Treatment
By means of a small surgical procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia, excess skin can be removed and the underlying muscle tightened. In some cases, it might be necessary to reduce the fat accumulation under the upper eyelid that causes additional pressure and a tired expression. The results? Youthful look restoration and the alleviation of chronic headaches. Expect suture removal after five days.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 1-2 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area for two days. Expect swelling up to one week
Price Range: Starting from US $1250

Concern
Loose skin and chronic swelling of the lower eyelid can be the cause of a tired appearance and can lead to irritation of the eyeball.
Protrusion of fat that is located in the eye socket can cause swelling on the lower eyelid.
In some patients there is a particularly pronounced sagging of the edge of the eyelid after a stroke or trauma.

Treatment
By removing fat from the eye socket and gently tightening the skin and suspending the edge of the lower eyelid, a more youthful and fresh look can be achieved. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with suture removal after 5 days.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 1-2 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area for two days. Expect swelling up to one week
Price Range: Starting at US $1500

Concern
In some cases it might be necessary to combine the correction of upper and lower eyelid to achieve a desirable outcome.

Treatment
As with the lower and upper eyelid correction, this procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. Post Surgery treatment remains the same as with upper or lower eyelid correction. Expect suture removal after five days.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 1-2 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area for two days. Expect swelling up to one week
Price Range: Starting from US $2200

Concern
The aging face will eventually lead to sagging of the forehead and eyebrows and can cause chronic headaches due to the continued raising of the eyebrows.

Treatment
The eyebrows will be surgically elevated by reducing the skin right above them. This procedure will be performed under local anesthesia. Scarring on an aged face is less apparent. Expect suture removal after 7 days.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 5-7 days
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area and apply a compress for a day. Expect swelling up to one week.
Price Range: Starting at US $999

Concern
An aging face will eventually lead to sagging of the forehead and eyebrows.

Treatment
By means of a forehead lift, the eyebrows can be elevated through a reduction of skin on the forehead. This surgical procedure will be performed under general anesthesia. The scar will be hidden under the hairline with suture removal after 7 days.

Hospital Admission: 1 night
Recuperation Time: 2-3 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area and apply a compress for two days. Expect swelling up to one week.
Price Range: Starting at US $4400

Back To Top

Treatment
An endoscopic forehead lift is performed under general anesthesia. Through five (5) small incisions above the hairline, this minimally invasive procedure suspends the skin of the forehead leaving minimal scarring. In order to provide a stable suspension of the forehead, two (2) small screws are placed superficially in the skull. These screws remain for approximately two weeks and will be removed thereafter.

Hospital Admission: 1 night
Recuperation Time: 2-3 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area and apply a compress to the forehead for 2 days. Expect swelling up to one week.
Price Range: Starting at US $3300

Concern
An aging face will eventually lead to sagging of the cheek fat pads.

Treatment
The mini face lift is performed under lokal anesthesia or general anesthesia to recreate fullness of the mid face and eliminate wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth. Through small surgical incisions the cheek fat pad is re-positioned to recreate a younger appearance. It can be combined with eyelid corrections and other lift procedures. Sutures will be removed after 5 days.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 1-2 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area for two days. Expect swelling up to one week
Price Range: Starting at US $3500

Back To Top

Concern
The aging face undergoes a lot of changes. Vital structures like the eyebrows, the cheek’s fat pads and the skin of the neck will descent noticeably because of loss of elasticity.

Treatment
A full face lift can re-position and gently tighten the skin for a more youthful appearance. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia with suture removal after 7 days. A full face lift may be combined with an eyelid correction.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 2 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the face for two days. Expect swelling up to one week and the removal of drains with the first dressing change.
Price Range: Starting at US $5100

Concern
The aging face undergoes a lot of changes. The skin of the neck will lose its elasticity and may create unsightly folds and wrinkles. The underlying skin muscle of the neck may also develop a stringy appearance.

Treatment
The neck lift can be performed through small surgical incisions under and behind the ears or in the midline of the neck. It is usually performed under general anesthesia. Sutures will be removed after 1 week

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 2 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the neck for two days. Expect swelling up to one week and the removal of drains with the first dressing change.
Price Range: Starting at US $3200

Concern
Ear concerns are numerous and may be due to a birth defect or misuse. Torn earlobes, excessively large earlobes, keloid skin, cup ears and protruding ears are some of the problems that can be surgically corrected.

Treatment
Surgical reconstruction of the ear is possible. Depending on the scope of the intervention, local or general anesthesia may be used with suture removal within seven days.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: 5-7 days
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the area and apply a compress for a day. Expect swelling up to one week.
Price Range: Starting at US $500

Concern
Injuries oftentimes leave mutilating scars on the face of the victim. Plastic surgery offers an array of techniques suitable for changing the scar and making it less evident.
Lipo-filling is a great technique to improve an existing scar

Treatment
Depends on the extent of the scarring

Hospital Admission: Outpatient
Recuperation Time: Depends on scar tratment
Post Surgery: Depends on scar treatment
Price Range: Starting at US $700

Back To Top

Concern
The shape of the nose varies in many ways due to individually varying bony and cartilage structures within it. By surgically modifying these structures, the nose can be reshaped to have a more pleasing appearance. This does not necessarily improve any previously experienced restrictions of airflow as it affects the outer shape of the nose more than its interior function.

Treatment
This surgery is performed under general anesthesia with suture removal after 5 days.

Hospital Admission: Outpatient or 1 night
Recuperation Time: 2 to 4 weeks
Post Surgery: Patient must cool the face for two days. Depending of the involvement of bony structures, a supporting plaster on the nose bridge may be necessary.
Price Range: As of US $2750
