Facelift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, brow lifts, and facial reconstruction — performed with the anatomical precision of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
A naturally youthful, rested look — without a pulled or overdone appearance.
Sun exposure, genetics, and time gradually loosen the skin and muscles of the face and neck, creating jowls, sagging, and deepened folds. A facelift (rhytidectomy) tightens the underlying muscles and connective tissue, repositions descended fat, and removes excess skin.
The same surgical expertise extends to facial reconstruction: soft tissue injuries, facial fractures, and dental trauma are repaired with incisions planned to minimize visible scarring, and complex cases are treated at Baylor University Medical Center.
Aging affects the entire face. Procedures are often combined in a single surgical session for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Tightens the SMAS muscle layer and re-drapes the skin with minimal tension, for results designed to look natural and age gracefully.
Addresses drooping upper lids, under-eye bags, a descended brow, and forehead lines.
Nose reshaping, considered when the overall facial balance would benefit from nasal refinement.
Chin augmentation and targeted fat removal in the jowls and neck.
Repair of soft tissue injuries, facial fractures and dental injuries — from emergency care to long-term rehabilitation.
A facelift and related procedures can address:
Every plan is individualized. Here is how a facelift unfolds.
Your anatomy, skin quality and goals are evaluated. Photographs and computer imaging help plan and visualize the potential improvement.
Performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia, with incisions hidden in the hairline and natural ear contours.
Sutures are removed within 5–10 days. Swelling and bruising improve significantly by two weeks; most patients return to daily activities in 2–3 weeks.
Results settle gradually and are typically fully visible at around six months, as scars fade within the hairline and ear contours.
