FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY PROCEDURES IN SAN ANGELO

Let Shannon Plastic Surgery help you put your best face forward. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, John A. McFate MD, offers treatments to tackle a variety of concerns related to the face, brows, forehead, neck, eyelids and more.

Cosmetic facial plastic surgery procedures:

Brow Lift

A brow lift involves repositioning the skin of the forehead to create a more youthful appearance. This surgery helps to visibly raise the eyebrows and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, “frown lines,” horizontal lines across the forehead, vertical lines between the eyebrows (“11s”) and hooded eyelids created by sagging brows. Brow lifts are a permanent procedure and can be combined with other procedures like facelifts and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).

Facelift

Face lifts (rhytidectomy) are designed to address common facial and skin concerns like sagging, excess skin of the cheeks and lower face (jowls), and deep skin folds along the nose and mouth. In addition to removing excess skin, the surgeon may also tighten the deeper tissues of the face across different areas of the face or use fat grafting from other areas of the body to create ideal facial features. Face lift surgery is not intended to correct skin issues like sun damage, fine lines or wrinkles, and can be combined with other procedures like brow and neck lifts.

Neck Lift

A neck lift is a procedure that improves the look of loose, hanging skin and fat of the neck, sharpens the jawline, and smooths out banding (thickened areas of tissue and muscle). This can be achieved using liposuction to remove excess fat or other surgical techniques to remove or tighten skin and other soft tissues around the neck. Neck lift surgery can be combined with other procedures like face and brow lifts.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is surgery that changes the appearance of the nose. This can be done by adjusting the size or shape of cartilage, skin, and/or bone along the nose. For some patients, rhinoplasty can help address cosmetic issues, like asymmetry, shape or size of the tip or nostrils, or reshape the bridge of the nose. Rhinoplasty is also an option for patients with functional concerns, like deviated septum, broken noses or facial fractures, birth defects, or conditions like cancer or allergies.

Ear Surgery

Ear surgery (otoplasty) is a simple surgery to correct ears that protrude and reposition them closer to the head. This procedure removes excess skin and cartilage around the ear to fix abnormally large ears or asymmetrical ears. Ear surgery is ideal for patients over 6 years of age. Other procedures of the ears such as stretched or torn earring openings can be repaired.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) involves removing excess fat and skin around the upper and/or lower eyelids. This creates a more youthful, tighter look around the eyes in response to drooping eyelids caused by age. Eyelid surgery can often be combined with other procedures like brow lift or face lift for ideal results tailored to a patient’s specific face shape and goals.

Wrinkle Treatment and Dermal Fillers

Shannon Plastic Surgery also offers botulinum toxin (Botox or Juveau) injections and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (Restylane) to address fine lines and wrinkles across the face. These treatments can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles or indentations in the skin on the forehead, near the eyes (crow’s feet), cheeks, lips, corners of the mouth and eyebrows. Patients can expect results to last six to nine months, depending on the treatment and severity of wrinkles.
