The production of collagen and elastin is responsible for skin structure and elasticity, which declines as you age. Lower levels of these proteins increase the potential risk for loose, sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Genetics, environmental toxins, skin care products, and sun exposure also play a role in skin aging. Facial plastic surgery in Stockbridge can help address these cosmetic concerns and produce long-lasting results.

The goal of facial surgery is to improve functional aspects and appearance by restoring, reconstructing, or altering face structures.
When Stockbridge patients think of facial plastic surgery, often the first thing that comes to mind is a facelift. However, there are several other ways to address targeted areas of the face, which are often less invasive and have a shorter recovery time.
Facial plastic surgery is performed by highly trained surgeons who specialize in the complex anatomy of the face. These procedures require careful planning and precision to ensure each patient obtains a natural-looking result with minimal risk of complications.
When considering facial surgery, you will first undergo a thorough consultation to discuss your goals, medical history, and cosmetic concerns. Each procedure aims to boost our patients’ self-confidence and improve facial harmony.
We offer a variety of facial plastic surgeries at our center for Stockbridge patients. Our team designs each procedure to benefit your self-image by correcting a personal cosmetic concern.
A facelift reduces the visible signs of aging in your face and neck. During this procedure, a skilled plastic surgeon removes excess skin, tightens underlying tissue, and redrapes the skin to address sagging, deep creases, jowls, and looseness.
Incisions are typically made around the hairline and ears, and while recovery can take several weeks, the results are long-lasting. A facelift can turn back the hands of time; however, it cannot stop the aging process.
A neck lift enhances the appearance of your neck region by tightening underlying muscles and removing excess tissue and fat. In addition to addressing sagging skin, jowls, and fat deposits, our surgeon can also improve neck banding that occurs as you age.
Incisions are made in areas that are not easily seen, such as behind the ears and under the chin. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort during recovery, but the results will last a long time and provide a more youthful and defined neck.
A rhinoplasty, commonly called a nose job, is designed to change the shape, size, or proportion of the nose to improve facial harmony or breathing. This surgery can address a hump, bulbous tip, or asymmetry, as well as functional issues like a deviated septum.
A septoplasty can be done alongside a rhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum. The septum is the bone and cartilage that divides the nasal cavity between the two nostrils, and a deviated septum can cause breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, and recurring sinus infections. To combat this, the surgeon removes or reshapes the deviated portion and repositions a septum in the center of the nose.
A brow lift, or forehead lift, raises the eyebrows and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging skin. This procedure creates a refreshed appearance by repositioning the eyebrows and smoothing the forehead. Incisions are typically made along the hairline or in the natural creases of the forehead.
A brow lift can also sometimes help reduce sagging skin in the upper eyelids. However, an eyelid lift actually removes excess skin and tissue from the upper or lower eyelid, or both. This improves your appearance and gives you a more refreshed look.
During a chin augmentation, our surgeon changes the size and shape of the chin to improve facial balance. This can involve using implants or repositioning the bone to achieve a more defined chin and jawline. The incisions are made inside the mouth or under the chin, making them invisible.
Ear surgery, called otoplasty, changes the shape, position, or proportion of the ears and is usually done to correct prominent ears, congenital deformities, or an injury. To complete this procedure, our plastic surgeon makes incisions behind the ears or within the inner creases so they can reshape the cartilage and create a more natural appearance. You may need to wear a headband during recovery to support the ears while they heal, but most patients can resume normal activities within one week.
When performed by an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgery can produce long-lasting, natural-looking results. If you have cosmetic concerns you want addressed, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to learn more about facial plastic surgery in Stockbridge.
