Rejuvenate and restore the face, neck, eyes, and nose

We specialize in aesthetic rhinoplasty to improve the appearance of the nose and individualized facial procedures to keep you looking 40 for decades.

We specialize in the following procedures:

Upper Blepharoplasty

An upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, improves the hooding of the upper eyelid by removing skin and fat from the eyelid. The scar is hidden in the natural crease of the upper eyelid.

Am I candidate for an upper bleph?

Excess skin and fat in the upper eyelid can be caused by aging, but genetics also play a role, which is why people of all ages can be good candidates for an upper bleph.

If you’re concerned by hooded or heavy eyelids, regardless of age, you may be a candidate.

Upper Blepharoplasty Addresses:

Hooded eyelids

Tired-looking eyes

Loss of lid space

Heavy lids

Upper Blepharoplasty Recovery and Results Timeline

Lower Blepharoplasty

A lower blepharoplasty, also known as lower eyelid surgery, improves the fullness of the lower eyelid bags, and crepiness of lower eyelid skin. Fat grafting can also be added to the tear trough.

Facelift

Addresses signs of aging including jowling, deep nasolabial folds, and volume loss in cheeks, and lips.

At Amelia, a facelift includes a neck lift and fat grafting. A face and neck lift tightens underlying muscles, removes excess skin, and replaces lost volume with fat grafting.

Facelift candidate

Am I candidate for an facelift?

Sagging in the jowls and neck can be a result of aging or weight loss. The goal of a facelift isn’t to make you look 25 again. It’s to keep you looking refreshed in your 40s for decades to come.

If you’re looking to restore youthful fullness and structure to your face and neck, you may be a candidate for a facelift.

A Facelift Addresses:

Deep nasolabial folds

Sagging skin in jowls and neck

Am I candidate for a neck lift?

A lip lift removes excess skin and tissue under the nose to decrease the space between the nose and the upper lip.

Lip Lift candidate

Am I candidate for an lip lift?

As we age, and in some cases since birth, the space above our upper lip is elongated causing what’s known as “long lip."

If you’re hoping to shorten the amount of space between your upper lip and the base of your nose, you may be a candidate for a lip lift.

“Long lip”

Elongated philtrum or ergotrid

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting helps restore lost volume due to aging by taking a small amount of fat from another area of the body (typically the inner thigh or stomach) and injecting it into a specific area.

It’s often combined with other face procedures, such as a face lift, to comprehensively restore the face.

Fat Grafting candidate

Why fat grafting?

The fat grafting recovery time will fall within the recovery time of whatever procedure with which it’s combined.

You can expect mild bruising, swelling, and tenderness around the donor area and possible water submersion restrictions.

By filling in the valleys in the face created by volume loss, we address the visual cues we associate with aging such as:

Downturned mouth corners

Blunted chin

Jowling behind chin and along jaw

Loss of jaw definition

Flattened/absent cheek volume

Loss of cheekbone contour

Prominent orbital ridge

Sunken temples

Hollow tear trough

Blunted lid/cheek junction

Deep nasolabial folds
