Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
As we age, skin and muscles lose tone and elasticity and begin to sag. A facelift reduces the effects of aging by removing excess fat and skin, tightening loose muscles, and reshaping neck and facial tissue. Particularly effective on the lower face and neck, facelifts can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures including browlifts, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty. Depending on the condition of your skin and your desired results, the procedure may take up to three hours. Side effects may include swelling, numbness, bruising, and tightness, but most patients report little pain and very minor discomfort.

Brow Lift
Horizontal lines on the forehead and creases above the nose can make you look tired, angry, or older than you truly are. These wrinkles are intensified by sun exposure, heredity, and weight fluctuation. Brow lifts can make the face appear years younger by tightening and lifting forehead skin, thereby eliminating wrinkles and expression lines. The end result is a more refreshed, youthful appearance.

A brow lift can be performed alone or, for even better results, in conjunction with other procedures such as a facelift or eyelid surgery. During endoscopic forehead lift (usually chosen by younger patients who are just developing brow wrinkles), an endoscope is inserted below the skin to lift and tighten underlying muscles. The brow will heal in the new position, leaving you with a younger look.

BOTOX® Cosmetics
Customized for each individual patient, BOTOX® Cosmetics is purified, diluted, and injected into the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and restore your youthful appearance quickly, safely, and easily. Once used mainly for eye spasms, excessive muscle contractions, and nerve disorders, it is now commonly used for purely cosmetic purposes. It is particularly effective around the eyes and forehead, reducing creases and frown lines and taking years off your face, but can also be used on other areas of the neck and face with similar results.

Rhinoplasty (or Septoplasty)
Rhinoplasty has become a fairly common procedure, performed for both cosmetic and medical reasons. Patients can reduce or increase the size of their nose, change the general shape, narrow the nostril width, manipulate the angle between the nose and the upper lip, and/or lessen the appearance of prominent bumps.

The procedure can correct birth defects and nasal injuries, and relieve breathing problems. Surgery is customized for each patient, and can be performed in conjunction with other procedures.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Children ages four to 14 comprise the majority of otoplasty patients in the United States, although anyone with protruding ears, excessive cartilage, or other ear defects may benefit.

Surgeons use a variety of techniques to reshape and restore ears. Typically, the surgeon repositions the ear with sutures and cartilage adjustment. In some cases, cartilage and skin are removed from the external ear. The results are more natural-looking ears. While surgeons strive for perfect symmetry, some variation from one side to the other may occur. Subsequent changes in ear appearance may also occur as the result of aging or other extenuating circumstances. In these cases, additional surgery may be necessary.


Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Typically performed on patients in their 40s and older, reconstructive eyelid surgery tightens droopy or hooded eyelids, restoring contour and eliminating fatty bags under the eyes. Blepharoplasty gives your eyes a natural, youthful appearance, and may improve vision for patients impaired by sagging lids.

This outpatient procedure involves removing excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids, and tightening muscles. Blepharoplasty can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures of the eye, face, brow, and nose.

Laser Resurfacing
A high-energy beam of light serves as a high-tech scalpel to remove damaged layers of skin and deeper tissues. Laser resurfacing is commonly used to treat wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, uneven pigmentation, skin lesions, acne scars, chicken pox scars, and tattoos. It can be performed over the entire face or smaller areas, and can also be combined with other surgical procedures and skin treatment programs to enhance results. Because of the strength of this procedure, a 14-day recovery period is fairly typical.

Hair Restoration
Renaissance Surgery’s board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey L. Williams, is highly skilled in a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, but specializes in hair restoration.

Hair replacement doesn’t actually restore hair. Rather, it takes hair grafts from places where hair is more abundant and relocates them to balding or thinning areas. Grafts differ in size and shape, but smaller grafts offer more natural results with little or no scarring.

Dr. Williams transplants both minigrafts and micrografts, which contain only one to four hairs. This incredibly precise procedure is time-consuming, but the phenomenal results make it well worth the time and effort. With permanent and completely natural results, there is no need to worry about future hair loss.

Hair replacement surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure using a local anesthesia, along with sedation, to ensure complete comfort. Please contact Renaissance Plastic Surgery for more information.

Additional Face Procedures

SCAR REVISION – Whenever there is a break in the skin from trauma, burns, surgery, or disease, the skin heals itself by forming scar tissue. If you’re self-conscious because a scar is especially severe or noticeable, scar revision can make it less noticeable by making it smoother, flatter and closer to your skin’s natural color. Because it can take a year or longer for a scar to heal completely, doctors recommend patients wait 12 to 24 months before undergoing this procedure.

LIP AUGMENTATION – If nature didn’t give you the full, voluptuous lips you’ve always wanted, lip augmentation can help. The simple outpatient procedure can be performed on men and women of all ages. Surgeons can inject your lips with your own body fat or a variety of synthetic materials for more permanent results.

FAT INJECTIONS – Used to enhance lips (see Lip Augmentation), reduce wrinkles, and extend the areas around the cheeks and eyes, fat injections work best in the area between the nose and upper lip. Surgeons move fat from one part of your body to another, a process known as autologous fat transplantation. The procedure takes years off your face and improves the appearance of lines from smoking, aging, and other factors.

COLLAGEN, RESTYLANE, COSMOPLAST TREATMENTS – Similar to fat injections, these treatments can fill out wrinkles, skin depressions, and scars. Our surgeons use a variety of injectable fillers to enhance your appearance, producing healthy, natural-looking skin safely and easily.
