Chemical Peel
As the face ages, the skin begins to reveal the sun damage done during childhood. Dark spots and wrinkles appear. In the appropriate patient, a chemical peel can even out the pigmentation, tighten the skin, and give an overall healthy glow to the face. There are different peel options, and many can be done in the office.
Scar revision
Facial scars can be unsightly when they are wide, long, straight, and when they change the shape of the eyelid, nose or lip. Sometimes, as a scar heals it creates a pulling force on the surrounding structures, interfering with facial symmetry. Scar appearance can be improved by reducing its texture, lightening the color, and changing the shape and orientation. There are many options to improve scars and the treatments offered will be tailored to each individual patient.
Earlobe reconstruction
Earrings can damage the earlobes over time, especially when large or heavy earrings are used, creating stretched, elongated lobes. The ear lobes can also be torn by the ear rings, leaving an unsightly cleft in the lobe. These can be reconstructed in the office with numbing medicine applied to the skin. The procedure takes about an hour and the stitches come out in a week. |
