Face and Neck
Aging is a natural part of life. Unfortunately, the effects of aging can leave some people unhappy with their appearance. Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas looks to correct that and reverse the signs of aging with top-of-the-line face and neck cosmetic procedures. Patients can elect to undergo the following procedures:
- Facelift: This surgical procedure uses well-hidden incisions to lift a layer below the skin to alter the shape of the face, creating a more youthful look.
- Mini facelift: Small incisions around the ears help to tighten the skin on the face.
- Neck lift: Also known as lower rhytidectomy or platysmaplasty, this procedure helps improve visible signs of aging around the neck and jawline.
- Lip lift: This procedure revitalizes the shape of the lips by shortening the amount of skin above the lips, increasing the amount of visible red color.
- Neck liposuction: Using small incisions, this procedure removes unwanted fat from the neck area, helping sculpt the face to a preferred shape.
- Buccal fat removal: Achieve a slimmer-looking face with this simple procedure that delivers beautiful and permanent results.

- FaceTite: A minimally invasive treatment, FaceTite uses radiofrequency instead of traditional surgery to tighten the skin, stimulate collagen, and remove fat below the skin.
- Chin implant: This procedure helps balance the face and addresses an often overlooked element of one’s appearance.
Skin
As the outermost layer, the skin protects the body and can experience the most wear and tear. Over time, it can show signs of aging, such as loosening elasticity that emits an unflattering look. Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas can help restore the look of a patient’s skin so it remains radiant. Skin services include:
- Scar revision: Done under locally injected anesthesia in the office, this procedure attempts to minimize a scar so that it more naturally blends into the surrounding skin.
- Mole removal: Have unwanted moles removed from the skin with this simple procedure.
- Acne scars: Acne often leads to scarring. This procedure corrects the skin by breaking up deep scar tissue and placing filler in the area to keep it elevated and smooth.
- CO2 laser: This procedure is used to treat several conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles.
- Morpheus8: A non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency and micro-needling for skin remodeling.
- Chemical peels: Offered in various forms, chemical peels treat the skin by promoting new collagen formation in the dermis that tightens the skin and improves wrinkles and pigment changes.
- Micro-needling: This procedure involves puncturing small holes into the skin to stimulate collagen formation during the healing period.
- Dermabrasion: A skin resurfacing technique that removes the outer layers of skin and stimulates collagen growth.
- EltaMD Skincare: Patients can get access to EltaMD sunscreen products for superior skin protection.
- ZO® Skin Health: Patients can get access to medical-grade skincare products for addressing all their skincare needs.
Nose
The nose is a defining feature of the face and serves as a passageway for air to enter the body. Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas specializes in services that improve the appearance and function of the nose, such as:
- Rhinoplasty: More commonly referred to as a nose job, this surgical procedure can change the shape of a nose and make it work better.
- Liquid rhinoplasty: A non-surgical rhinoplasty that uses injectables to reshape the nose.
Eye Modification
A person’s eyes can portray emotions without words. As people age, the eyes and the surrounding area begin to change. Eye modification helps patients preserve the look of their eyes and keep their natural expressions. Eyelid surgery includes:
- Upper blepharoplasty (eyelift): This procedure helps to remove excess skin and occasionally bulging fat that can give the eyes a heavy look.
- Lower blepharoplasty (Eye bags): Aimed at addressing unwanted bags under the eyes, this procedure will include tightening or removing the skin, removing or repositioning fat, repositioning the lower lid, or replacing lost volume.
- Brow lift: A surgical procedure that lifts and corrects the position of the eyebrows.
Ear Rejuvenation
People may feel self-conscious about their ears for several reasons, including size and shape. Thanks to the ear rejuvenation services offered at Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas, patients can alter their ears to boost their self-esteem. Advanced ear cosmetic surgery services include:
- Otoplasty (Ear pinning): This is an umbrella term for all surgical and non-surgical techniques that can be used to correct deformities in the external part of the ear.
- Torn earlobe repair: With no cartilage, earlobes are subject to tearing that can be corrected with professional earlobe repair services.
- Gauge earlobe repair: After an earlobe has been stressed, it requires advanced services to restore its shape.
