Face Procedures
A facelift is a cosmetic surgery that helps smooth the skin of the face and neck and restore a more youthful appearance. The results are a reversal of the effects of gravity after the facial tissues are tightened, and the excess skin is removed. The incisions for this procedure are hidden in the natural folds and hair around the ear. Most facelift patients go back to work two weeks after surgery, but it may take up to three weeks to feel normal again. All strenuous activities, including exercise, must be avoided for six weeks or as advised by your surgeon. Prescription pain medication and cold compresses will help alleviate the discomfort experienced during the initial stages of recovery. After surgery, the head is bandaged and removed for one day. Sometimes a facelift is performed in conjunction with other procedures such as a brow lift and eyelid surgery. The average cost of this procedure at Unique Aesthetics Center is $7,400.
Browlift is a surgical procedure that lifts and enhances the brow by eliminating the wrinkles in the forehead. Droopy or saggy eyebrows will make you look angry, sad, or tired. A brow lift can make you look more alert and happier. A browlift can also lower or raise the position of the hairline. The best candidates for this procedure are patients in good health with wrinkles and deep lines that make them look older. This procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. After surgery, the forehead is wrapped to reduce bruising and swelling. You can apply cold compresses, rest with your head elevated, and take pain medication to alleviate the discomfort. A browlift at our Center will cost $3,500.
Otoplasty is a plastic surgery that can be life-changing for patients with protruding ears, especially children, who may be bullied at school. This procedure will correct prominent ears, whether due to folding problems, size problems, or rotation problems. The main otoplasty procedures include: otopexy to pin back the ears, ear augmentation for underdeveloped ears, and ear reduction when the pinna is made smaller. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, but it’s commonly performed on children under general anesthesia to avoid any complications produced by movement. While this procedure can be performed at any age, it’s mostly done on children. During recovery, patients are advised to keep their heads elevated, take pain medication as recommended by the surgeon, and avoid any rigorous activity. The scars are naturally concealed behind the ears, and the results are permanent. Ear surgery will cost you an average of $1700 -$7,000.
Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, can reshape the nose through the removal of bone and cartilage, and narrow the nostrils or change the nasal tip. Rhinoplasty can also help patients breathe easier and correct congenital disabilities. This procedure can be performed on local or general anesthesia. A splint or bandages will be placed after surgery to preserve the new structure. All swelling will ultimately subside in about two weeks with the final results seen in up to a year. Patients are advised to avoid all strenuous activity for up to 6 weeks. A rhinoplasty at Unique will cost $5,000-$7,000.
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, can improve the appearance of the eyelids and rejuvenate the area around the eyes. Good candidates for this procedure are healthy patients, nonsmokers, with realistic expectations, and without any major eye conditions. This procedure can be completed in 1 to 3 hours. Excess skin and fat are removed during surgery. Scarring for this procedure is hardly seen as only fine sutures are used. Recovery will take about a week or more, pain is mild, and the stitches can be removed in three to four days. The average cost of eyelid surgery is $3,000.
