At the Forefront of Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery
We perform a large volume of functional and cosmetic septorhinoplasties each year, encompassing surgeries to improve breathing as well as the aesthetic appearance of the nose. We offer tailored care for hair loss as well as the complete array of nonsurgical and surgical aging treatments, such as facial rejuvenation using the latest injectables and lasers, as well as facelift, neck lift, eyelid lift and brow lift procedures. Our specialists are leaders in reconstructive surgery, specializing in the correction of congenital, traumatic and postsurgical deformities of the face, head and neck. In addition, our specialists collaborate with our head and neck surgeons and dermatologists to reconstruct skin and soft tissue defects following Mohs surgery for patients with skin cancers. We also specialize in the treatment of eyelid ptosis (drooping eyelid that affects vision), dermatochalasis (excess eyelid skin), ectropion (lower eyelid drooping) and brow ptosis (drooping eyebrows), as well as hypertrophic scars and keloids of the face and neck. We collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to assist in facial reanimation for the management of facial nerve disorders and paralysis, as well as transorbital neuroendoscopic surgery (TONES) for skull base conditions at our Comprehensive Skull/Cranial Base Center—one of the first and few centers in the nation to routinely offer TONES.
