A forehead lift or brow lift, is a surgical procedure that improves the visible signs of aging on the forehead. The forehead and eyebrow region often show noticeable signs of aging. Looseness in these structures may cause drooping eyebrows, eyelid hooding, forehead furrows, and frown lines. In brow lift surgery, the structures responsible for these problems are tightened or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the upper eyebrows, and improve frown lines. A brow lift may be performed alone, or in conjunction with other procedures, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery.

Advances in brow lift surgery make it possible to perform the procedure through a variety of approaches, including endoscopy. Brow lift surgery is individualized for each patient. The surgical incisions used may vary with the technique selected by your surgeon to meet your needs. The brow lift cannot stop the process of aging.

Eyelid lift or blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and muscle from both the upper and lower eyelids. Underlying fatty tissue that produces bagginess can be selectively removed or repositioned.

Blepharoplasty can improve drooping skin and bagginess. It can help improve vision in older patients who have hooding of their upper eyelids. Although it can add an upper eyelid crease to the Asian eyelid, it will not erase evidence of ones racial or ethnic heritage. Blepharoplasty will not remove : "crows feet" or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under the eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows.

Blepharoplasty surgery is customized for every patient, depending on his or her particular needs. It can be performed alone involving upper, lower or both eyelid regions, or in conjunction with other surgical procedures of the eye, face, brow, or nose. In some patients, who have looseness between the lower eyelid and the eyeball, consideration for tightening of the lower eyelid (canthoplasty / canthopexy) at the time of blepharoplasty may be recommended. Eyelid surgery cannot stop the process of aging. It can however, diminish the look of loose skin and bagginess in the eyelid region.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves the visible signs of aging on the face and neck. As individuals age, the skin and muscles of the facial region begin to lose tone. The facelift cannot stop the process of aging. It can improve the most visible signs of aging by tightening deeper structures, re-draping the skin of face and neck, and removing selected areas of fat.

A facelift can be performed alone, or in conjunction with other procedures, such as a brow lift, liposuction, eyelid surgery, or nasal surgery.

Facelift surgery is individualized for each patient. The best candidates for facelift surgery have a face and neck line beginning to sag, but whose skin has elasticity and whose bone structure is well defined.

If you are considering a facelift procedure it is important to understand what a face lift can and cannot achieve and the many variations of the face lift technique that are designed to correct individual characteristics of facial aging that appear on different faces. Your face is unique and your facelift procedure needs to be customized to create a pleasing result on your face.

Liposuction or suction assisted lipectomy, is a surgical technique that removes unwanted deposits of adipose tissue, fat, from specific areas of the body, including the face and neck, upper arms, trunk, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, and the knees, calves and ankles.

This is not a substitute for weight reduction, but a method for removing localized deposits of fatty tissue that do not readily respond to diet or exercise.

Liposuction may be performed as a primary procedure for body contouring or combined with other surgical techniques such as facelift, abdominoplasty, or thigh lift procedures to tighten loose skin and supporting structures.

Nose surgery or rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that produces changes in the appearance, structure, and function of the nose. A rhinoplasty can: reduce or increase the size of the nose, change the shape of the tip, narrow the width of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip.

Rhinoplasty surgery is customized for each patient, depending on his or her needs. Incisions may be made within the nose or concealed in inconspicuous locations in and around the nose in the open or closed rhinoplasty procedure.

At times, cartilage grafts taken from within the nose or from other areas of the body may be recommended in order to help reshape the structure of the nose.

The best candidates for this type of surgery are individuals who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the appearance of their nose.

In addition to realistic expectations, good health and psychological stability are important qualities for a patient considering rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty can be performed in conjunction with other surgeries.

Dr Chen Lee is a board certified plastic surgeon. He will perform a complete evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for cosmetic surgery of the nose.
