Full Facelift Procedures

Dr. Horn uses two techniques for facelift procedures. The SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) approach is what many consider to be a traditional facelift. The MACS (minimal access cranial suspension) technique is a newer method that can provide significant results with a less invasive procedure. Dr. Horn will discuss your concerns and goals to help you determine the right techniques for your unique case.

The ideal candidate for a facelift procedure should have good overall health and no medical conditions that could affect healing. Patients should not smoke, as it inhibits healing. Good candidates will also have realistic expectations for what the procedure can achieve. A facelift does not stop you from ageing and will not last forever, but it can help restore a more youthful appearance, especially when combined with other facial surgeries such as a blepharoplasty.

Age, genetics, and stress can lead to lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. A full facelift cosmetic surgery procedure helps reduce the visible signs of ageing such as creases around the eyes and nose, loose skin along the jawline and jowls, and fat deposits that create the appearance of a double chin or sagging neck.

Rhinoplasty can enhance the symmetry of your face, as well as correct issues with impaired breathing. Dr. Horn can perform this procedure to address a bulbous or drooping nasal tip, correct a deviated septum, or unblock an obstructed airway.

Usually performed as an outpatient surgery, blepharoplasty corrects puffiness in the eyelids, bags under the eyes, and drooping eyelids that make you look older and impair your peripheral vision. Dr. Horn can perform this in combination with other facial cosmetic surgeries for a more dramatic result.

With age, horizontal wrinkles may appear across the forehead and on the bridge of the nose, while vertical wrinkles appear between the eyebrows, often making people look angry or tired. With a brow lift, Dr. Horn can adjust and tighten the skin and muscles in your forehead to reduce wrinkles and raise sagging brows.

Chin augmentation can help bring symmetry to your face by decreasing the appearance of a prominent nose, reducing a double chin, and adding volume, height, and width to your chin. Dr. Horn can insert an implant or transfer fat from another part of your body, improving the shape of your jawline.

Dr. Horn can reshape children's ears, removing or altering the cartilage to provide a less prominent appearance. Also known as having your ears pinned, an otoplasty is typically performed after age three when the ear is fully grown. The procedure can also be performed on adults as well as lobe reduction and repair.
