Facelift

Turning back the clock -- it's something many adults wish they could do. A Facelift offers patients a way to look younger, healthier, and more energetic. By diminishing wrinkles, smoothing folds, and lifting sagging skin, a facelift can erase years of stress, sun damage, and fatigue from your face. Most often, Dr. Edelson performs a facelift as an outpatient procedure under general anesthetic.

During the surgery, he lifts and smoothes your facial skin, tightening it and the muscle layer underneath. With his steady, well-trained hand, your results look natural and attractive. In terms of facial rejuvenation, few procedures can match the effectiveness of a facelift.

If you have additional concerns, a facelift can be combined with other procedure such as rhinoplasty or eyelid lift. Please contact us to learn more about facelift.

Eyelid Lift

The eyes are often cited as a person's most attractive feature and are known for revealing much about how a person feels. Heavy upper eyelids and bags beneath the eyes can give the impression that a person is continually exhausted, unhappy, or angry. An eyelid lift can help undo the effects of aging or natural imperfections around the eyes. Upper eyelid surgery can remove folds and wrinkles, lifting the crease and lighting up the face.

During the procedure, Dr. Edelson can remove excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles. Lower eyelid surgery can remove bags and pockets of fat. The procedure can smooth the skin under the eyes, tighten the muscles in that area, and, in some cases, improve the appearance of dark circles. Dr. Edelson is adept at both procedures and can perform them separately or in combination.

If you are looking for an effective way to look younger and more energetic, eyelid surgery may be just the procedure you need. Please contact us to learn more about eyelid lift.

Rhinoplasty

At the center of the face, the nose is an area of concern for many patients. Size, shape, function -- rhinoplasty can help make alterations to the nose that improve appearance and correct breathing problems.

Dr. Edelson can make adjustments to any part of the nose, including the bridge, tip, and nostrils. Broken or injured noses can be reset with rhinoplasty as well. He can straighten crookedness, remove a bump or hook, improve the angle between the nose and upper lip, or alter the width of the nostrils. In most cases, Dr. Edelson can hide the incisions inside the nostrils.

If you are looking to make a change in the way your nose looks, rhinoplasty is an effective way to bring balance and beauty to your face. Please contact us to learn more about rhinoplasty.

Otoplasty (for protruding ears)

Large or protruding ears may be a source of embarrassment for children, teens, or adults. Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that can move the ears back closer to the head. The size and shape of the ears may also be adjusted if necessary.

Most often performed on elementary and middle school aged children, an otoplasty can not only improve appearance but can also boost self-esteem and limit teasing. The procedure can be equally successful on older teens and adults. Children under age five need to delay the procedure until their ears have finished developing.

If you or your child feels self-conscious about protruding ears, Dr. Edelson can help. Please contact us to learn more about otoplasty.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Smoothing and polishing the skin is easy with laser skin resurfacing. By removing the damaged outer layer of skin, the laser is able to let the healthy new skin below show through. Dr. Edelson can use laser skin resurfacing to erase lines, age spots, acne scars, patchy pigmentation, and other facial skin imperfections.

Laser skin resurfacing is an outpatient procedure, which means that you can go home the same day. The laser is very precise and poses less risk of bleeding than do other resurfacing procedures such as dermabrasion. Dr. Edelson has significant experience using the laser for skin resurfacing. His steady hand and well-trained eye can give you the results you are looking for. Please contact us to learn more about laser skin resurfacing.
