Services
Volumetric Facial Rejuvenation
This procedure restores facial volume using a patients own fat tissue to address age-related hollowing. Fat is gently harvested and strategically placed to enhance contours, creating natural, long-lasting results when combined with traditional lifts. Ideal for patients seeking youthful fullness without synthetic fillers.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty corrects sagging eyelids or under-eye bags through precise tissue removal or repositioning. It improves vision obstruction caused by excess skin and enhances facial aesthetics. Both upper and lower eyelid procedures are available, with recovery typically involving minimal downtime.
Botox Injections
Botox temporarily relaxes facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Results appear within days and last 34 months. The non-surgical treatment requires no downtime, making it a popular option for quick rejuvenation.
Facial Trauma Repair
Specialized care for facial injuries including orbital fractures, lacerations, and soft tissue damage. Brian Willoughby employs advanced techniques to restore function and appearance after accidents or sports-related trauma, often coordinating with ophthalmologists and dermatologists.
Laser Resurfacing
This treatment uses laser technology to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and address sun damage or scarring. It stimulates collagen production for a smoother complexion, with options for ablative or non-ablative approaches depending on patient needs.

I've been with Dr. Willoughby for almost 15 years. After a horrible accident, he was referred to me by multiple plastic surgeons. He rebuilt my entire face and I owe my life to this man. The office is comfortable and Scott and Becky are the best.

Dr. Willoughby has been a huge help to us. I tend not to write reviews however, I have wrote a few on physicians as of recent days due to an isolated incident. When you get lucky. enough to get great care from a physician, writing a good review is least one can do. Dr. Willoughby along with Becky, have just been wonderful, empathetic, kind and genuinely care about their patients. Dr. Willoughby is extremely knowledgeable.
As a CRC, I did not even have to share all of my research ( on something uniquely specific ) he already had the knowledge and treatment readily available in his tool box! Dr. Willoughby's bedside manner is impeccable! I am truly thankful to have been referred to this doctor in our extreme time of need. Thank you so much and we will continue our eye care with Dr. Willoughby as well as refer anyone we can to him! 10 star Doc and Becky!

I had an emergency on Sunday and went to the ER and there were no plastic surgeons on call and Dr. Willoughby came in last minute to fix my face. Omg! I am so thankful and think that God must have sent him. I was terrified because a dog ripped my lower lid off my face. Just a few days have passed and I am already healing well. I can't say enough how thankful I am for this doctor and his willingness to last minute come in and help me.
