Face
Endoscopic Browlift
A browlift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure performed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and furrows in the forehead resulting in a vibrant, younger-looking appearance.
This procedure is often combined with others, such as a facelift, blepharoplasty or chemical peel for optimal results. Dr. Gary Wiesman will develop a custom treatment plan for you based on a thorough evaluation of your skin and goals for treatment.
Procedure
During the endoscopic browlift procedure, tiny incisions are made along the scalp that are hidden in the hairline. This procedure takes one to two hours to perform under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, with patients able to return home the same day. Any stitches can usually be removed after one to two weeks.
Results
The results of the endoscopic browlift are noticeable right away, and will continue to improve as swelling and other symptoms subside. Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a few days.
Chin Implants
Although many people do not notice it, a weak chin can significantly affect facial appearance, causing the nose to look larger or the neck to look loose. A Chin implant is often performed to provide a more balanced facial appearance and create a chin that is stronger, wider or longer, depending on each patient's individual goals. Also known as mentoplasty, chin augmentation is often performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty or other facial procedures in order to achieve optimal results.
During the mentoplasty procedure, an implant made of silicone or another soft, flexible material is inserted into the chin through a small incision underneath. The implant may be placed into a pocket or secured to the bone with screws for long-lasting results. This procedure usually takes about 30 minutes to perform, with patients usually able to return to work and other regular activities the next day. Chin implants are considered a safe procedure with few risks, which can be further reduced by choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. Wiesman to perform your procedure.
