Facelift Procedures
At our plastic surgery practice in San Francisco, "facelift" is a general term that encompasses a number of treatment options intended to rejuvenate the face. We often combine facelift procedures with other treatments, such as a neck lift, as part of a comprehensive restoration plan.
Blepharoplasty
Dr. Chow offers the option of blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) at his center serving Danville, San Francisco, and Walnut Creek area patients. This form of facial plastic surgery is a quick, effective procedure that has helped many of our patients to regain their youthful, vital appearance.
Brow Lift / Forehead Lift through Eyelid Incision
Brow lift is an ideal solution for patients who are primarily concerned with the condition of their forehead and browline. Drooping eyebrows and permanent frown lines in the forehead can be corrected with a minimally invasive brow lift for a refreshed, revitalized appearance and enhanced expression.
Ear Pinning (Otoplasty)
One of the few cosmetic procedures commonly performed on children as well as adults, otoplasty (also known as ear pinning) helps to correct protruding, misshapen, or overly large ears. During the procedure, Dr. Chow removes unwanted cartilage through a small incision made discreetly behind the ear. He then molds the remaining cartilage into the desired shape and pins the ear into place. Once it has fully healed, the ear will permanently retain its more proportionate shape. Patients who undergo otoplasty at our San Francisco plastic surgery practice generally experience an improvement not only in appearance but also in self-confidence.
Chin Implants
Patients with small, ill-defined, or receding chins may benefit from having chin implant surgery at our San Francisco plastic surgery practice. Dr. Chow also performs sliding genioplasty, a procedure in which the chin is augmented by relocating the patient's natural tissue. To learn more about this form of facial plastic surgery or how it might be combined with other procedures such as rhinoplasty or blepharoplasty, please contact our office.
Cheek Implants
Using synthetic cheek implants, Dr. Chow can enhance the shape of the cheekbones, compensate for facial fat atrophy that creates hollow cheeks, and improve the overall appearance of the face. These implants are often enough to postpone more complex facial plastic surgery procedures for many years.
Cheek Fat Removal
For patients whose excessive cheek fat causes them to look as though they are carrying extra weight, Dr. Chow can remove the excess through incisions inside the mouth. Cheek fat removal gives the face a leaner shape and better definition of the cheekbones and jawline.
Laser Treatment / Photofacial
Using the latest laser technology, Dr. Chow is able to treat facial pigments, vascular lesions, vascular birthmarks, and other irregularities involving blood vessels in the face. Cosmetic laser treatments are among the most exciting recent developments in cosmetic medicine. After treatment, patients emerge with smoother, healthier-looking skin and a more youthful overall appearance. Many are able to avoid facial plastic surgery altogether thanks to this non-surgical cosmetic treatment.
Double Eyelid Surgery
It is not unusual for Asian patients to be born with eyelids that have either a barely discernible crease or no crease at all in the upper lid, lending the lids a heavy, tired appearance. Through double eyelid surgery, Dr. Chow is able to create a clear, natural-looking fold in the upper lid with absolutely minimal incision.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer is a procedure in which Dr. Chow removes unwanted fat deposits from one area of the body and injects it elsewhere to augment or change the shape of another part of the body. It can be used on many different parts of the body, including deep nasal folds, creases around the eyes, and the lips.
