Face Procedures in Thousand Oaks

We perform a variety of face/neck procedures. A facelift is a surgical procedure for the rejuvenation of the aging face. It addresses the middle of the face, the neck, and jowls or both.

As we age, the muscles and other structures surrounding the eye loosen and become lax. The eyelid skin stretches, wrinkles, and becomes redundant.

Prominent, protruding ears can be an extremely bothersome feature, especially for young children who may be teased by other kids. This condition is present from birth and is due to abnormal development and folding of the cartilage of the ear in-utero.

A forehead lift, or browlift, is a surgical procedure for the rejuvenation of aging brows. As we age, our brow descends from its normal youthful position, creating a “tired” look.

Nose reshaping, or rhinoplasty, is the surgical correction of nasal deformities. These deformities can be from an injury, after a previous rhinoplasty, or just due to plain old genetics.

Skin cancer of the face is extremely common, especially in Southern California. These cancers are usually basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas. Melanoma of the face is less common but far more dangerous.

Fat grafting involves injecting your own fat into the face to treat wrinkles and undesirable contours (such as thin lips). Your own fat is harvested from the hips, thighs or abdomen.

Scarring is the inevitable result of surgery or certain skin injuries. Unfortunately, they can constantly remind us of these past events. How a scar heals depends most of all on how your wound was closed by the surgeon.
