Services Offered
Aesthetic Procedures
- Endoscopic brow and forehead lift: An aesthetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper third of the face without leaving any visible scars. It restores brow shape and contour, eliminates skin that hangs over the eyelashes, and reduces frown lines and crow’s feet.
- Lateral Brow Lift
- Upper eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty): One of the most common facial plastic surgery operations. It restores a youthful upper eyelid contour and treats eyelid wrinkles and excess skin.
- Lower eyelid bags and festoons: The goal of this operation is to eliminate bags under the eyes and to achieve an elegant eyelid shape. This surgery may also reduce the appearance of dark circles.
- Cheek lift: Also known as a midface lift, this surgery elevates the cheeks to their youthful position and adds volume to the middle third of the face, recovering a young and vigorous look.
- Facelift (Rhytidectomy): A cosmetic procedure that reshapes the lower half of the face. It tightens lose skin around the jawline, elevates the corner of the mouth and reduces jowls.
- Necklift: Often performed with a facelift, this procedure addresses platysma bands and skin laxity in the neck. The recovery time for this operation is usually longer and requieres that the patient stay in hospital the first night.
- Facial rejuvenation with Botox and Fillers: A non-invasive way to give a more youthful appearance to the face. These products help to treat wrinkles and add volume to the face.
Reconstructive Surgery
- Eyelid skin cancer: Diagnosis and surgical treatment of eyelid skin cancer. Advanced eyelid reconstruction after excision of eyelid carcinoma.
- Eyelid ptosis surgery (droopy eyelids): A common procedure that restores eyelid height. It may be performed in one of both upper eyelids.
- Treatment of eyelid retraction post-blepharoplasty: Eyelid retraction is a common complication of cosmetic surgery. Surgical correction is performed in the most aesthetic way possible, by recruiting skin from the upper cheek to avoid skin grafts.
- Corrective surgery: Surgical treatment of complications after cosmetic surgery.
- Endoscopic lacrimal surgery: Surgical procedure designed to treat an obstruction of a tear duct.
- Orbital surgery and treatment of Grave’s disease: Diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the orbit. Rehabilitative surgery in patients with sequelae of Grave’s disease.
