Facial plastic surgery is a means of correcting premature facial aging, as well as creating more harmony in your facial features. If you’re interested in aesthetic procedures to look as young as you feel, or to simply address a longtime insecurity, the experience and skill of your plastic surgeon is paramount. As a board-certified craniofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Eric Payne has spent his entire career specializing in procedures of the skull and face. From reconstructing facial defects to achieving a greater sense of facial balance, Dr. Payne is more than qualified to achieve the beautiful, natural-looking results you desire.
Facelift
A facelift is the premier solution to rejuvenate the face. With the ability to make a patient look up to ten years younger, facelift surgery can smooth jowls, deep creases, and other signs of aging in the lower face. Unlike more traditional facelift techniques that produced obvious indications of surgery, modern facelifts can be both subtle and powerful in their ability to renew the face with natural-looking results.
Neck Lift
If you struggle with sagging skin, platysmal bands, or other signs of an aging neck, a neck lift can be performed to achieve a smoother, more youthful look. This procedure repositions/removes excess skin, fat, and musculature causing a “turkey neck,” revealing a sleeker contour. Neck lift surgery is frequently performed at the same time as a facelift to provide a sharper jawline in conjunction with the neck profile.
Brow Lift
As we age, the brow may droop and cause frown lines, deep creases, and other indications of aging in the upper face. This is typically caused by a loss of skin elasticity, which may cause you to appear stressed, exhausted, or angry despite what you’re actually feeling. A brow lift can rejuvenate the brow to remove excess skin and smooth wrinkles, often allowing a brighter, more carefree expression.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, popularly known as eyelid surgery, is performed to smooth the contours in the upper and/or lower eyelids. Over time, excess skin and puffiness can cause concerns like “hooding,” eye bags, wrinkles, and a general look of exhaustion or age. Upper and lower blepharoplasty can be highly effective procedures to brighten the upper face and restore the supportive structures of the eyelids, allowing a more rejuvenated appearance.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is designed to enhance a weak or recessed chin by using a custom chin implant to balance the facial features. In addition to making the face more proportional, chin augmentation can create a stronger facial profile as well as offset a dominant nose. Dr. Payne is trained and specializes in craniofacial plastic surgery, allowing him to offer a wide range of different surgical options, including osseous genioplasty and implant-based chin augmentation. These implants are available in different shapes and sizes to help you find the most natural-looking prosthesis for your needs.
Chin Reduction
In contrast to chin augmentation, chin reduction is designed to remove excess tissue around a prominent chin to refine the jawline and facial profile. This can achieve a greater sense of balance and have a positive effect on your entire appearance. As a craniofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Payne has extensive experience enhancing the dimensions of the chin to create more facial harmony and can work with you to achieve a more proportional, natural chin shape.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is one of the most effective and transformative procedures to achieve greater facial balance. As the central feature of the face, even minor enhancements to the nasal framework can create a noticeable improvement. For this reason, rhinoplasty is known as a “surgery of millimeters.” Nose surgery is a highly complex procedure, often requiring the diligent, artistic hand of a craniofacial plastic surgeon to perform.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty, or ear pinning surgery, is designed to provide a more proportional appearance by enhancing the shape and/or size of protruding ears. Ears that look out of balance, asymmetrical, or disproportionately large can be a major source of insecurity for men and women — especially children and younger patients. Otoplasty can bring the ears closer to the sides of the head, or reposition the tissue and cartilage of the ears to achieve more facial harmony.
Lip Reduction
Overly projected or large lips can not only cause aesthetic dissatisfaction, but may also make eating, speaking, and other oral functions more difficult. Lip reduction can repair conditions such as vascular malformations, as well as achieve aesthetic improvement by balancing the lip proportions with the rest of the face.
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal is an innovative procedure designed to improve the appearance of overly full or “chipmunk” cheeks caused by excess fat deposits in the mid-face. During surgery, Dr. Payne removes and repositions buccal fat to achieve slimmer and more contoured facial angles. The results are often very natural-looking and can provide a long-lasting enhancement to your appearance.
