Services
Botox
Botox injections soften facial wrinkles caused by muscle movement, targeting forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. This non-surgical treatment provides a refreshed look with minimal downtime. Ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural results that last 3-4 months.
Facial Fillers
Facial fillers add volume to lips, cheeks, and under-eye areas using hyaluronic acid. This treatment smooths wrinkles and restores youthful contours. Results appear immediately, with effects lasting 6-12 months depending on the product and treated area.
Ear Deformity Correction
Ear molding and surgical correction address congenital deformities in infants and protruding ears in children or adults. Early intervention with molding prevents future surgery, while otoplasty reshapes ears for improved symmetry and confidence.
Facial Paralysis Treatment
Specialized procedures restore facial symmetry and function for patients with paralysis from injury or disease. Treatments include nerve grafts, muscle transfers, and tailored therapies to improve movement and appearance.
Facelift & Neck Lift
Facelift and neck lift procedures tighten skin and muscles for a youthful, natural appearance. This surgical option addresses sagging jowls, neck bands, and deep wrinkles, providing long-lasting results that enhance facial contours.

Questions
What facial procedures are available for men?
We offer male-specific treatments including rhinoplasty, facelifts, and Botox to address aging signs while maintaining masculine features. Our surgeons specialize in natural-looking results for men.
Does insurance cover ear deformity correction?
Insurance often covers microtia repair as a birth defect. Otoplasty may be considered cosmetic and not covered, but we assist with appeals and verification for eligible cases.
How long do facial filler results last?
Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 9-12 months, with lip injections lasting 6 months. Repeat treatments maintain results, and our specialists tailor plans to individual needs.
What is the recovery time for a facelift?
Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with swelling subsiding over 3-6 months. Most patients resume normal activities within 10 days, following personalized post-op care instructions.
Can Botox prevent wrinkles?
Yes, early Botox use can delay permanent wrinkles by relaxing muscles responsible for expression lines. Preventative treatment is most effective when started before deep creases form.
How are facial paralysis treatments personalized?
We assess each patient's condition to create individualized plans combining nerve repair, muscle transfers, and non-surgical therapies for optimal facial symmetry and function.
