Face Lift, Neck Lift, and Otoplasty Surgery at Our Practice Serving the Beverly Hills and Los Angeles Areas
When seeking facial plastic surgery, it is vital that you find a surgeon who understands the complex science of beauty and proportion. Dr. Harrison Lee can correct aesthetic issues while preserving the naturally beautiful look of each patient’s features. At his practice serving Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and beyond, he performs face lift, neck lift, otoplasty, and a number of other facial procedures, including brow lifts, eyelid surgery, and lip augmentation.
Face Lift
Aging of the face is inevitable, and a face lift or mini face lift may be necessary to restore a youthful appearance. As the years go by, the skin loosens on the face and neck, fine lines appear, the forehead develops deep creases, the jaw line softens into jowls, and excess tissue may develop in the neck area. Heredity, personal habits, the pull of gravity, and sun exposure contribute to the aging of the face. As the aging population grows, it is obvious why face lift surgery, known medically as rhytidectomy, has become the third most commonly performed facial plastic surgical procedure.
Rhytidectomy involves the removal of excess facial fat, the tightening of facial muscles, and the stretching of facial skin to give the face a smoother, firmer appearance. Depending on the area of the face or neck that will be lifted, the surgeon will separate the skin from the fat and muscle. The fat is then removed, and the skin is pulled back into place with any excess removed.
Forehead Reduction and Augmentation
For patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their forehead area, Dr. Lee offers forehead reduction and augmentation procedures. Forehead reduction, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is designed to reduce the appearance of a high and wide forehead and elevate low or heavy eyebrows by removing a portion of the skin along the hairline. Forehead augmentation is most commonly performed to create a more feminine appearance or to remove irregularities in the forehead and brow area. The procedure involves recontouring the bone and/or placing implants to achieve the desired appearance. If you would like to learn more about forehead reduction and augmentation procedures, contact Dr. Lee at his Beverly Hills practice today.
Neck Lift
Because the skin on the neck is thin and delicate, this area is one of the first to show the telltale signs of aging: “bands” around the neck, sagging skin, and loosened neck muscles. Many people also develop excess fat in the neck that can make them appear much heavier than they actually are. Dr. Lee can correct these issues with a neck lift at his Beverly Hills practice in the Los Angeles area. Often combined with face lift surgery, neck lifts may involve tightening the neck muscles, gentle liposuction, and the removal of excess skin. This procedure is customized based on the patient’s aesthetic needs and goals.
Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a procedure that improves the shape and size of the ears. This surgery can also pin the ears back so that they lay closer to the head. For an otoplasty surgery, Dr. Lee makes incisions behind the ears, hidden in the area where the ear meets the head. Dr. Lee then reshapes the cartilage, removing some tissue if necessary, in order to achieve the desired results. Otoplasty surgery is one of the few plastic surgeries that can be performed on children, saving them from potential embarrassment in school and helping to build confidence. Once the ears reach full size (usually when the child is approximately five to six years of age), Dr. Lee can perform ear surgery at our Beverly Hills practice.
