Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, also referred to as eyelid surgery, is a facial plastic surgery procedure designed to improve sagging skin of the upper eyelids and bags beneath the lower eyelids. Surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids or both. Blepharoplasty restores a more youthful appearance to the eye area and, in extreme cases, can even improve vision when excess upper eyelid skin interferes with the line of sight.

Browlift
The browlift, also referred to as a forehead lift, is a facial plastic surgery procedure able to restore a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance to the brow and eye areas. This procedure can improve the appearance of drooping eyebrows, furrowed forehead lines and creases, frown lines and hooding over the eyes.

Facelift
The facelift, also referred to as rhytidectomy, is a facial plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the signs of aging in the lower face. Unlike newer, less-invasive techniques that address surface wrinkles alone, the facelift remains the best treatment for sagging skin including deep folds of the lower face, sagging cheeks, jowls, and a "turkey waddle" neck.

Facial Implants
Facial implants are often used to add prominence to certain facial features in order to improve facial balance and proportion. Facial implants can be used to enhance the cheekbones, jaw, or chin. This procedure can be combined with other surgeries like rhinoplasty or a facelift to fully enhance the face. A check implant can create higher cheekbones while a chin implant can result in a more prominent chin.

Otoplasty
Otoplasty, also referred to as ear surgery, is a surgical procedure which corrects prominent or distorted ears. Otoplasty can be performed following the full developmental growth of the ears, which is around the age of five. It can be particularly beneficial when performed on children as even a mild deformity of the ears can lead to teasing amongst ones peers. Adult patients often undergo otoplasty in conjunction with other facial plastic surgery procedures.

Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, also referred to as nasal contouring, is a facial plastic surgery procedure which can reshape the nose and alleviate some breathing problems. During surgery, Dr. Kontis can increase or decrease the overall size of the nose, remove a hump, refine the tip, narrow the span of the nostrils, or make a change in the angle between the nose and upper lip. Rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of the nose for simple aesthetic purposes but it may also be used to correct birth defects, traumatic injury and some breathing problems.

Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision Rhinoplasty, also referred as a secondary or tertiary rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure which can repair problems with the appearance and/or function of the nose resulting from a prior rhinoplasty procedure. Older rhinoplasty techniques often involved the removal of excessive cartilage which could result in impaired nasal function and nasal deformities. Revision rhinoplasty can address these problems.

Neck Liposuction
Liposuction of the neck restores the youthful jawline, but may not be appropriate for all patients. Neck liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia and involves using a small liposuction cannula to aspirate fat from the neck.

Lip Lift
As we age, the bony support of the upper lip is lost, and so the skin of the upper lip appears to elongate, and the pink upper lip becomes smaller. One treatment to restore the youthful proportions of the upper lip is called the “lip lift.”
