Facial Cosmetic Surgery Procedures We Offer

Facelift
Facelifts address the lower third of the face and neck, targeting the jawline, jowls, laugh lines, chin, and neck. This procedure aims to reverse the signs of aging, restoring a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Our practice offers the following kinds of facelifts:

• Mini-facelift – Perfect for individuals with moderate signs of aging, the mini-facelift focuses on specific areas, offering a less invasive alternative with quicker recovery.
• Midface lift – Concentrating on the mid-region of the face, this lift elevates sagging cheeks and reduces nasolabial folds, restoring youthful contours.
• Revision facelift—Designed for individuals who have undergone previous facelifts, this procedure refines the results by addressing any signs of aging that have developed since the initial surgery.

We also offer a non-surgical approach to rejuvenating your face: the liquid facelift. This treatment uses injectables to refresh the face and neck without surgery. It’s an excellent option for those seeking immediate results with minimal downtime.

Brow (Forehead) Lift

A brow lift revitalizes the upper face by lifting drooping eyebrows and smoothing forehead wrinkles, improving the overall expression and making the face appear more alert and refreshed.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, improves the nose’s appearance or function. It can correct asymmetry, reduce or increase size, and refine the nasal tip or bridge, ensuring the nose complements other facial features.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, removes or redistributes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure can correct droopy eyelids and remove under-eye bags, brightening the eyes and contributing to a more rested and youthful appearance.

Benefits of Facial Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Facial cosmetic surgery effectively addresses concerns related to aging, facial symmetry, and overall aesthetics. Our facial cosmetic surgery procedures focus on achieving natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without making you look overdone. Whether you’re targeting wrinkles, sagging skin, or other facial imperfections, these procedures can restore a more youthful, balanced look. 

At Chow Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer personalized care in Arcadia, CA, using modern techniques to help you achieve your goals with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

Candidates for Facial Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Ideal candidates for facial cosmetic surgery procedures include individuals seeking to correct visible signs of aging, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and drooping eyelids. These procedures are also suitable for patients needing revision procedures, which can improve or correct previous surgeries. 

If you’ve had surgery in the past and were unsatisfied with the results, we offer plastic surgery corrections to help you achieve the look you desire. Cosmetic revision can correct imperfections from previous procedures, giving you better outcomes.

What Happens During the Facial Cosmetic Surgery

The surgical process begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Jen Chow, a highly experienced facial plastic surgeon in Arcadia. During this session, we’ll assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and recommend the best surgical options. Depending on the procedure, surgery may take place under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. 

Small incisions are strategically placed for a facelift or brow lift to minimize visible scarring. In rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty, the focus is on reshaping cartilage, bone, or excess skin to achieve the desired results. Procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to recover at home after surgery.

What to Expect from the Recovery Process

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure. You can expect some swelling and bruising initially, which should subside within a few weeks. Recovery may be quicker for minor procedures like blepharoplasty, while more extensive surgeries like facelifts or rhinoplasty might take longer. Post-operative care includes detailed instructions and follow-up visits to monitor your healing process.
