Facial Plastic Surgery

Facelift surgery is an excellent option for many women and men interested in achieving a rejuvenated facial appearance. By employing advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Kurkjian can customize the facelift procedure to smooth lines and wrinkles, lift sagging skin, restore lost volume, and more, helping patients look like a refreshed version of themselves.

Chin augmentation can be an excellent way to enhance the shape, prominence, and/or projection of the chin for an improved profile and better balance among facial features. Dr. Kurkjian can perform treatment by placing a silicone implant or altering bone structure to achieve an ideal chin size and contour.

A mini facelift—also called a short scar facelift—is a modified version of traditional facelift surgery designed to treat mild to moderate jowling and neck skin laxity. A key benefit of this innovative technique is the shorter incisions needed to perform treatment, typically avoiding a scar behind the ears and into the hairline.

Fat transfer is a revolutionary technique that can be employed to fill lines and wrinkles, add volume to facial features, and diminish the appearance of several perceived skin blemishes. Since fat is extracted from the patient’s own body via liposuction, this procedure provides the added benefit of body contouring in the donor region.

A neck lift can be a great solution for individuals troubled by sagging skin, vertical bands, muscle laxity, and stubborn fat accumulations throughout the neck and underneath the chin. Whether performed alone or in combination with facelift surgery, this procedure can help create an improved neck and jawline contour with natural-looking results. We offer both a traditional and mini neck lift.  The mini neck lift procedure only has a small incision under the chin and can be a great option for the right candidate.

Buccal fat removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that can reduce the appearance of overly plump cheeks for a slimmer, more defined lower facial contour. Depending on one’s unique needs and goals, treatment can often be performed in-office under local anesthesia, and the recovery process is generally quite quick.

Medically referred to as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery can improve concerns in the eye region like excess skin, puffiness, fine lines, under-eye bags, and more—resulting in a more rested and refreshed facial appearance. Depending on one’s unique needs, treatment can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both simultaneously.

A lip lift, which is sometimes referred to as an upper lip lift, is a minor surgical treatment designed to create a more youthful and sensual appearance for the lips. Often performed in-office using local anesthesia, this procedure can help increase tooth show, better define the Cupid’s bow, improve lip fullness, enhance one’s pout, and more.

Brow lift surgery is designed to address a drooping brow line, vertical folds between the eyebrows, horizontal creases across the forehead, and various other concerns located in the upper third of the face. Also known as a forehead lift, this procedure can provide excellent results by itself or as a complement to other facial rejuvenation treatments.

In addition to surgical facial rejuvenation, Dr. Kurkjian is specialized in providing non-surgical procedures to rejuvenate the facial skin. Popular skin care treatments at our practice include SkinMedica^® products, chemical peels, injectables and dermal fillers, microneedling, and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy.
