Facial Cosmetic Surgery for Our Dallas, Texas Area Patients
Regional Plastic Surgery Center offers many facial cosmetic surgery procedures to help you achieve the look you've always desired. We offer face lift, eyelid surgery, and nose job (rhinoplasty) at our Dallas area practice for those who are seeking natural, subtle changes that make a big difference.
Facial cosmetic surgery procedures are popular cosmetic surgery procedures designed to improve your appearance with natural looking results. Your face is arguably the first thing people see when they look at you, and it's very difficult to hide.
A Long Lasting Solution for the Improvement of Facial Imperfections
Your face can't be covered by a large sweater or bulky coat but can be improved with a face lift. Your profile is almost always visible to someone, and a nose job can make it more attractive. A hat might temporarily make some problems invisible, but it isn't practical to wear a hat in all situations. Sunglasses can't cover up wrinkled eyes at night, but eyelift surgery can make them disappear. Makeup may downplay unattractive features, but it isn't a permanent solution. Some forms of makeup settle into fine lines and wrinkles and accentuates them.
If your face isn't as attractive as you want it to be, we can help you. There are a variety of cosmetic surgery procedures, including procedures to permanently reshape a large nose (rhinoplasty), open the eye area (eyelid surgery), and smooth the skin (face lift). These treatments have helped many of our Dallas area patients achieve their individual cosmetic goals.

Face Lift
One of the best ways to smooth and tighten your skin, making you look years younger quickly and safely, is "rhytidectomy surgery," commonly known as a face lift. Dallas area patients who come to us often report that people are surprised when they find out the patient's true age!
view more before and after cases
A face lift for our Dallas area patients can create a youthful, natural appearance and increase confidence. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and begins to sag and wrinkle. Because of constant exposure to the sun and elements, facial skin can lose elasticity quicker than the rest of the body. The face looks tired and old before its time. A face lift can remedy this.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Face Lift?
A face lift can reverse the following signs of aging:
- Deep lines and folds that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth are erased
- Cheek and neck wrinkles are suddenly invisible
- Sagging skin on the upper cheekbones is rendered taught and firm
- Hanging, loose neck skin around the neck and chin area, referred to as jowls, is gone without a trace
Most people exhibit multiple signs of aging, and the face lift procedure can't make all signs of aging disappear. To correct facial problems that do not respond to face lift, we offer a range of other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as eyelid surgery and brow lift. Non-surgical enhancements such as Restylane®, Radiesse®, or BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, or skin treatments such as laser skin resurfacing.
For our face lift patients in the Dallas, Texas, and surrounding areas, the cosmetic surgeons at Regional Plastic Surgery Center will recommend the appropriate cosmetic surgery procedures to meet your needs.
The Face Lift Consultation
All face lift patients of our Dallas, Texas, facility undergo an extensive consultation with one of our cosmetic surgeons at Regional Plastic Surgery Center. The consultation includes a thorough discussion of the facial features a patient wants to correct and how the patient expects to look after the face lift procedure. The cosmetic surgeon and patient discuss the options that will best meet the patient's expectations. From this discussion, a personalized cosmetic surgery plan is formed. The cosmetic surgery plan might include procedures in addition to face lift to give our Dallas area patients the look they desire.
The Face Lift Procedure
Each face lift is personalized to fit the individual patient's unique facial characteristics. Face lift is usually an outpatient procedure involving anesthesia. Typically, incisions are placed within the hairline, behind the ear, and beneath the chin so they are hidden or less obvious. The skin is then pulled up and back, excess skin is removed, and the skin is stitched into place. Sometimes areas of tissue beneath the cheekbone are manipulated to enhance the youthful appearance of the face.
We thoroughly discuss the risks of face lift with our Dallas area patients. Face lift risks vary per patient, but common risks associated with a face lift include blood accumulating beneath the skin, infection, and complications with the anesthesia. Damage to underlying facial tissue may occur, but this usually heals over time.
What Happens After the Face Lift Procedure?
Most of our face lift patients return home the same day, a few hours after completion of the surgery. Face lift results are not immediately apparent because your face will be swollen and bruised.
A few days after the face lift at our Dallas, Texas, area cosmetic surgery facility, the swelling and bruising will begin to diminish. Some patches of puffiness and discoloration may linger for several weeks but can be covered with makeup. Facial numbness is common but should also subside after several weeks. Four to seven days after the face lift, the stitches are removed.
After your face lift with our Dallas area cosmetic surgeon, your doctor will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions. Typically movement and activity are limited for a few weeks after the face lift procedure. After several weeks, results of the face lift will become apparent, although some facial "settling" may occur over the next several months.
If your face is exhibiting unwelcome signs of aging, consider a face lift. In Dallas, Texas, and surrounding areas, the cosmetic surgeons at Regional Plastic Surgery Center will be happy to consult with you regarding face lift and other cosmetic procedures. Restore youth and vitality to your face with a face lift.
Rhinoplasty
The phrase "as plain as the nose on your face" may be common, but the reality is few people want an obvious nose; for people who are unhappy with the appearance of their noses, we offer rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty, also called a "nose job," is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures requested in Dallas, Texas, and surrounding areas.
view more before and after cases
If you're considering a nose job, you're not alone with your unhappiness with your nose. People are dissatisfied with their noses for many reasons, and it's no wonder. The nose is directly in the middle of the face and arguably the most noticeable facial feature. A nose that is not in balance with the rest of the face can render an otherwise beautiful face unattractive.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Nose Job?
Rhinoplasty at our Dallas area plastic surgery center can fix many things about your nose that you may not like. The nose itself may be too big or too small. The bridge of the nose may be too wide or too thin, have a hump, or be crooked. The tip of the nose can droop or appear bulbous. The nostrils may be too large or appear to be constantly flared.
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes the nose to a natural-looking form that fits with your other facial features. For issues that rhinoplasty can't solve or to further balance facial features, a nose job at our Dallas, Texas, facility is often combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as chin augmentation or eyelid surgery.
Rhinoplasty Consultation
Before surgery, our rhinoplasty patients engage in a thorough consultation with one of our cosmetic surgeons. The rhinoplasty procedure is performed at our Dallas, Texas, area facility. During the rhinoplasty consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will discuss your medical history and rhinoplasty expectations and evaluate your nose to determine the techniques that will produce the finest outcomes for you. Your plastic surgeon will create a surgery plan that includes pre-surgery instructions, surgical techniques and anesthesia to be used, and post-operative care and expectations. Your cosmetic surgeon may also recommend other cosmetic surgery procedures to help you achieve the look you want.
Rhinoplasty Procedure
Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure that takes approximately one to two hours. To minimize scarring, incisions are placed inside the nose or in the line where the nose meets the cheek. During the procedure, your cosmetic surgeon manipulates the bone and cartilage of your nose to form the desired shape. To help the nose preserve its new shape, a splint is placed on the outside of the nose and nasal packs may be placed inside.
After the Rhinoplasty Procedure
After undergoing the nose job procedure, our Dallas area patients will need to take some time to recover. You will find that your face will be puffy, your nose will ache, and you may have a headache. You'll receive medication for the pain and will be told to stay in bed with your head elevated for at least one day. Cold compresses will relieve the swelling and bruising around the eyes. This bruising and swelling will peak after two or three days then gradually begin to subside. Stuffiness is common and usually lasts several weeks. Slight bleeding may last a few days. Any nasal packing used during the rhinoplasty procedure is usually removed after a few days, and all dressings, splints, and stitches are usually removed after a week or so.
You'll have several follow-up appointments after your nose job at our Dallas area plastic surgery facility. Healing after rhinoplasty is patient specific, but our Dallas based cosmetic surgeons will explain to you what you can expect. Healing is usually a slow process and may take up to a year, although the results of your rhinoplasty will be visible after a few weeks.
For the typical nose job patient in the Dallas vicinity, swelling lasts for months, but after a week or two is usually noticeable only to the patient and cosmetic surgeon. Most patients are up and about within days after the rhinoplasty procedure and able to return to a sedentary schedule after a week or so. Rhinoplasty patients should avoid activity that increases the blood pressure, such as exercise, bending, or stretching. Touching the nose and wearing glasses should be avoided for a time period designated by the plastic surgeon. Because the nose will be numb, rhinoplasty patients should wear sunscreen, especially when out in the Dallas sun, and be careful when washing the face and applying cosmetics.
Rhinoplasty Risks
Rhinoplasty complications are usually rare and, when they do occur, are minor. Infection, nosebleed, and a reaction to the anesthesia are the most common occurrences. Small blood vessels may burst and appear as tiny red spots that may be permanent but are usually minor. Numbness may occur but is usually temporary. Very rarely a second rhinoplasty procedure is necessary to correct unforeseen deformities. These cases are quite unpredictable and happen under even the best of circumstances with the best of surgeons. The second corrective rhinoplasty surgery is performed at our Dallas based facility and is usually very minor.
If you want a natural looking, attractive nose that people will think you were born with, contact Regional Plastic Surgery Center to discuss your rhinoplasty options. Conveniently located near Dallas, their cosmetic surgeons will evaluate your nose and recommend the appropriate rhinoplasty and other cosmetic surgery techniques. You can have the appearance you've always wanted.
Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as eyelid surgery at the Dallas, Texas, area office of Regional Plastic Surgery Center, safely and permanently removes excess tissue and fat that accumulates around the eyes.
view more before and after cases
Eyelid surgery performed at our facial cosmetic surgery facility near Dallas is often combined with other procedures, including brow lift (to remedy sagging eyebrows), skin resurfacing, laser skin resurfacing, chemical peel (to smooth crows feet and lessen dark circles), and face lift. Our Dallas, Texas, area cosmetic surgeons can advise you as to which cosmetic surgery procedures are right for you.
Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery at our Dallas area facility is a popular procedure among our patients. Many people have unattractive or tired looking eyes caused by excess skin or loose skin in the upper eyelid. This excess skin can impair vision, cause puffy eyelids, and create very fine wrinkles and droopy skin in the lower eyelid. These problems are usually related to general aging or heredity and can be lessened or eliminated with eyelid surgery. Dallas area patients who come to us for eyelid surgery will find that they appear more alert and younger looking.
Eyelid Surgery Consultation
As an eyelid surgery patient of the Dallas, Texas-based Regional Plastic Surgery Center, you'll engage in a thorough consultation with your cosmetic surgeon.
During the eyelid surgery consultation, you and your cosmetic surgeon will review your medical history and talk about your surgical expectations. Your cosmetic surgeon will select the eyelid surgery techniques that will come closest to the results that you desire.
Based upon how you want your eyes to look after eyelid surgery, your cosmetic surgeon may suggest other cosmetic surgery procedures. These additional procedures can usually be performed at the same time as your eyelid surgery at our plastic surgery center near Dallas, Texas.
Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure that typically takes one to three hours to complete. The techniques used during your eyelid surgery are specifically selected to meet your needs. Typically, the cosmetic surgeon makes an incision following the natural crease of the lid to lessen the chance of visible scarring. The cosmetic surgeon removes the excess fat, skin, and muscle that are causing the drooping and puffiness. Then the incisions are closed with very fine stitches.
After the Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Although the healing process for each eyelid surgery patient is unique, our Dallas area eyelid surgery patients will discuss what to expect with their cosmetic surgeon, and there are some general guidelines. After eyelid surgery the patient's eyes are lubricated with ointment and bandaged. The patient receives a prescription for pain medication to control any discomfort that develops after the eyelid surgery. Our Dallas, Texas, vicinity cosmetic surgeons instruct most eyelid surgery patients to elevate their head for several days and prescribe eye drops to help with dryness.
Eyes may be gummy and sensitive to light for the first few weeks after eyelid surgery. Our cosmetic surgeons recommend using cold compresses to lessen bruising and swelling, which peaks during the first week after eyelid surgery and diminishes thereafter. Double or blurred vision may occur and last a few days but will disappear. Whiteheads may appear when the stitches are removed, but the cosmetic surgeon can remove these with a very fine needle. Any scarring usually appears pink for the first six months but will eventually fade to a nearly invisible white line.
Most people can watch television and read a few days after and return to work and light activity within a few weeks after eyelid surgery. Dallas, Texas, area patients who undergo eyelid surgery should avoid activities that are strenuous and raise blood pressure, such as bending and lifting, for a duration determined by the cosmetic surgeon. Eyes should be completely healed after a few months.
Eyelid Surgery Risks
Eyelid surgery complications at our Dallas, Texas, plastic surgery facility are very rare and usually minor when they occur. These complications include infection and a negative reaction to the anesthesia. There may be a slight unevenness in healing, and scarring is possible. Some eyelid surgery patients experience difficulty closing their eyelids when they sleep - and in very rare situations, this is permanent. Another extremely rare complication is ectropion, which is a pulling down of the lower eyelids. Further eyelid surgery at our Dallas based cosmetic surgery center may be required to correct this condition.
Most eyelid surgery patients are extremely happy with their results. If you think you may benefit from eyelid surgery, contact the Dallas area professionals at Regional Plastic Surgery Center today!
Brow Lift Surgery
Drooping eyebrows and horizontal forehead lines can make you look tired and older than you are. Brow lift surgery, a cosmetic surgery procedure performed near Dallas at Regional Plastic Surgery Center, can restore a smoother, more youthful appearance to the area above the eyes. The browlift can frequently be performed through the endoscope, providing much smaller incisions and less risks.

Brow Lift Consultation
Brow lift is often combined with rhinoplasty to reshape an aging nose, a face lift to remove lines that a brow lift surgery can't reach, or eyelid surgery to smooth lines around the outer corners or lower eyelids. If you decide you would like a brow lift and additional cosmetic surgery procedures, such as a face lift, eyelid surgery, or rhinoplasty, our Dallas, Texas, area facility can design a program to meet your appearance goals. To find out if a brow lift is right for you, contact the cosmetic surgeons serving Dallas, Texas, and the surrounding areas at Regional Plastic Surgery Center.
After the Brow Lift Procedure
Most patients are on their feet within two days after surgery and resume sedentary and non-vigorous activities within a week or so. Activities that raise blood pressure, such as jogging, bending, or lifting, should be avoided or limited for several weeks. Extended sun exposure should be limited for several months.
Brow lift results usually appear in about three weeks. Although over time the horizontal lines and sagging can reoccur, the brow lift procedure can be repeated to remedy this. People who choose brow lift surgery often have other facial characteristics they would like to change.
Surgical Reshaping of the Chin
Because chin size is so closely tied to the appearance of the nose, to create balance between the chin and nose most chin reshaping surgery patients also undergo a rhinoplasty procedure. In Dallas, Texas, the cosmetic surgeons with Regional Plastic Surgery Center will assist you with your chin reshaping and other cosmetic surgery needs. The shape and size of the chin can affect the balance of the entire face and make an otherwise attractively sized nose seem overly large or small. Surgical reshaping of the chin can remedy this perception.
Chin Reduction
If your chin is too large, your cosmetic surgeon reduces the chin by reshaping and removing a portion of the bone in the chin area. During the procedure, small incisions are made beneath the chin or inside the mouth. The cosmetic surgeon inserts instruments through these incisions to manipulate tissue and reduce and reshape the bone. Small stitches are used to close the incisions. Medication controls any post-operative pain, and any stretched or tight sensation usually subsides in a week. Most patients resume normal, non-vigorous activity after a week or so with vigorous activity allowed after about two weeks. Swelling can take up to six weeks to fully subside.
Chin Implants
If your chin is too small, your cosmetic surgeon can insert implants into the area to build it up. Implants are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and your cosmetic surgeon will chose the one best suited for your needs. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. The surgeon creates an incision either in the skin beneath the chin or in the lower lip area inside the mouth. The implant is inserted through the incision, and the area is stitched closed. Swelling, bruising, and pain usually subside after several days, and stitches are removed within five to seven days. Patients may be asked to avoid vigorous activities for a few weeks following surgery, but non-vigorous activity can usually be resumed after about a week. Swelling may take up to six weeks to fully subside.
Regional Plastic Surgery Center can discuss chin reshaping and rhinoplasty procedures at their Dallas, Texas, area facility. Contact them now to learn more.
Surgical Ear Reshaping
Children whose ears are too large or stick out are generally the subject of ridicule and cruel name calling. This stressful situation can result in low self-esteem, poor academic performance, social dysfunction, and depression. Otoplasty, which is surgical reshaping of the ears, can remedy this condition. The procedure can be performed on both children and adults. If you or your child might benefit from otoplasty, contact the cosmetic surgeons at Regional Plastic Surgery Center near Dallas, Texas.
The Otoplasty Procedure
Otoplasty can be performed as soon as the ears have reached full size, which usually occurs around age five or six. The procedure takes about two hours, and either local or general anesthesia is used. During the procedure, an incision is made behind the ear in the natural fold where the ear joins the head. Depending on the individual patient's ears, the surgeon can remove excess cartilage, reshape the cartilage, remove any excess skin, and attach permanent stitches to pin the ear to a natural-looking position closer to the head. Additional temporary stitches may be needed to hold the ear in place while it heals. A thin, white scar may remain after healing, but because the incision was placed in the crease of the ear, the scar is usually not visible.
