Facelift/Necklift

Over time, the long-term effects of gravity, exposure to sun, dry air, and general stress take their toll on an individual's face and neckline. Jowls can develop under the jawline with folds and fat deposits. Sometimes creases begin to form between the nose and the mouth.


Facelift incisions often begin in the hairline at the temples.		An alternative facelift uses shorter incisions at the temples.		Incision lines are concealed within the hairline.

A facelift can considerably reduce these signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and redraping the skin around the neck and face. Facelifts can be done alone, or are frequently performed in conjunction with another procedure such as a browlift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. In some cases, a facelift can reduce the outward signs of aging by ten or fifteen years.

Lip Augmentation

Lip Augmentation Long Island Lip augmentation increases the size of the lips through a variety of surgical and non-surgical techniques that provide temporary or permanent results, depending on the type of material used. This procedure may be performed on one or both lips, and offers patients noticeable yet natural-looking results through a single treatment session.

This procedure is often combined with others, such as a facelift or chin augmentation to achieve a fully rejuvenated, balanced facial appearance.

Lip Augmentation Procedure

There are several different options to enhance the lips, each offering patients different benefits. Injectable fillers such as Restylane®, Hylaform® and Artecoll® are performed on an outpatient basis and are injected directly into the lips for safe, noticeable results that can last for several months. Additional injections can help maintain the results of this procedure.

For more permanent results, implants can be placed in the lips during a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. During this procedure, an incision is made inside the mouth to place an implant material taken from the patient's own body, a donor or made from synthetic materials.

Earlobe Repair

Over time, a pierced earlobe can become stretched if a person frequently wears large or heavy earrings. In addition to creating a long or wide opening, earrings may tear completely through the lobe. A torn earlobe may also result from trauma, such as having an earring pulled off or caught on clothing.

Torn earlobes can be repaired with a quick in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia.

Torn earlobe repair first involves "freshening" the edges of the torn lobe by removing a small amount of skin. Then, using fine sutures, the earlobe is meticulously repaired to reconstruct a normal, rounded earlobe that matches your natural ear shape.

You will be able to return home immediately after the procedure, with only a small bandage covering the stitches. The stitches will be removed after one to two weeks. When the earlobe has healed and the scar has softened, you may re-pierce the repaired earlobe. It takes about three months for the earlobe to fully heal.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty Long Island Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of a person's ears. Although otoplasty does not affect hearing, it can provide great psychological benefits to anyone who has been teased about the size or shape of their ears, has had a serious ear injury, or simply wants to improve their appearance.

Otoplasty typically serves two functions: setting prominent ears back closer to the head, and reducing the size of large ears. Ear surgery may also be helpful for the following conditions:

Large or protruding ears
Lop ear (top of the ear folds downward or inward)
Cupped ear (a small ear)
Shell ear (no outer curve in the cartilage)
Large, stretched, or torn earlobes
Earlobes with large creases and wrinkles
