Pasadena Facial Rejuvenation Procedures – Rhinoplasty, Eyelid Surgery, and More

The face is the most important area of the body and, unfortunately, it is one of the first places to show signs of aging. Pasadena Cosmetic Surgery offers several facial rejuvenation procedures, including rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery, designed to beautify the face and minimize sagging, wrinkling, and loss of fullness in the face. Dr. Martin O’Toole is careful to produce natural results that subtly bring forth the beauty of each patient’s best features.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure that can be fine-tuned according to the needs of each patient. When the operation is properly performed, the patient’s nose appears to be balanced and in proportion to the rest of his or her features. Almost every cosmetic problem with the nose can be improved at Pasadena Cosmetic Surgery with the rhinoplasty procedure. All patients receive a detailed digital photographic planning of their nose prior to their surgery. Dr. O’Toole performs rhinoplasty in different ways depending on the needs of the individual patient; one aspect that can be changed is the number and location of the incisions, which may be made on the underside of the nose or within the nostrils. Working through these incisions, Dr. O’Toole manipulates the nose cartilage and bone until he has produced the desired shape. The incisions are then carefully closed.

Post-surgical swelling can be expected, and patients often do not see the final results of their rhinoplasty surgery until weeks or even months have passed. However, within one week, most patients’ swelling and bruising has subsided enough for them to return to work and their normal activities. When the finished result does appear, our patients are delighted with their symmetrical and streamlined profiles. If you are interested in learning more about what the rhinoplasty procedure will involve for you, please contact our practice to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. O'Toole. You may also want to consider chin augmentation as a complementary procedure in order to enjoy optimal facial rejuvenation.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

The shape of the eyelids dramatically affects the shape of the eyes. Unfortunately, as people age, their upper eyelids may droop, and puffy bags may appear below the eyes, contributing to a tired or angry appearance. Dr. O’Toole can remove excess eyelid skin and fat and restore a more youthful and refreshed look to the eyes, all while keeping the look subtle and natural.

Dr. O’Toole performs the surgical procedure by making tiny incisions along the natural creases in the eyelids or on the inside of the lower eyelid leaving no visible scar. Through these incisions, Dr. O’Toole removes the unwanted skin and fat, creating an optimally youthful and natural appearance. The incisions are then closed.

The recovery period for eyelid surgery is not extensive, and most patients can read and watch television within a few days after the procedure. Within a week, most patients can return to work and, if they wish, use makeup to hide any remaining signs of surgery. This relatively minor cosmetic procedure can make a vast improvement in patients’ overall appearance and produce stunning facial rejuvenation. To learn more about eyelid surgery, please contact Pasadena Cosmetic Surgery for an eyelid surgery consultation with Dr. O’Toole. If you are interested in eyelid surgery, you may want to consider brow lift surgery or BOTOX® injections as alternative or complementary procedures.

Cheek Augmentation

Not everyone is born with the pronounced cheekbones that are hallmarks of youth and beauty. What’s more, as we age, our cheeks lose volume and begin to sag towards the lower half of the face. Cheek augmentation surgery can correct this and restore lost cheek volume, creating a more defined and revitalized appearance. This surgery is performed through small incisions made inside the mouth. Dr. O’Toole makes small pockets on either side of the face, on top of the cheekbones, to hold the implants in place. The implants are then inserted and the incisions are closed. If you are interested in cheek augmentation, you may want to consider injectable fillers or facelift surgery, which can mimic or enhance the results of the procedure.

Chin Augmentation

Many people are not aware of the difference a strong chin can make to the overall balance and harmony of the facial features. Chin augmentation is popular among patients who would like to have their bone structure look "stronger" or more well-defined. This procedure can also make a large nose appear smaller by improving the proportions of the face. Chin implant surgery is performed through a small incision made inside the mouth. The small silicone chin implant is then placed underneath the facial tissue, after which the incision is closed. If you are interested in chin augmentation, you may also want to consider rhinoplasty or neck lift surgery as alternative or complementary procedures.

Lip Augmentation

For centuries, full lips have signified youth and sensuality. If you were not born with naturally full lips or have lost lip volume due to aging, you may want to consider lip augmentation at Pasadena Cosmetic Surgery. This procedure can be performed in a variety of ways, but is most often conducted non-surgically using an injectable filler. More permanent results can be achieved by placement of soft implants within the lips. Depending on your desired results, Dr. O’Toole will recommend a lip augmentation procedure for you, help you understand what the finished result will look like, and guide you through the lip augmentation process. If you are interested in lip augmentation, you may also want to consider seeking the best possible facial rejuvenation through injectable fillers for wrinkles and other areas of the face that have lost volume.

Otoplasty

If your ears are large or stick out from your head, you don’t need to suffer through teasing and experience self-consciousness. Dr. O’Toole performs otoplasty, a plastic surgery procedure that can reduce the size of the ears, pin the ears more closely to the head, or both. If you have prominent ears, lopped or cupped ears, or shell ears, otoplasty may be an option for you.
