Top-Tier Plastic Surgery at FACES+

At FACES+ it’s easy to find the right surgery for your needs. Following Dr. Cohen’s prestigious recognition, here is a rundown of the top procedures he was recently recognized for.

Facelift

The facelift, or rhytidectomy is the gold standard surgical procedure for facial rejuvenation. A facelift can transform sagging jowls, drooping eye hollows and poor jaw and chin definition to help you regain your youthful appearance. Moreover, Facelifts at FACES+ aren’t just limited to the standard facelift surgery. Dr. Cohen also offers the Mini Facelift and California Facelift, allowing patients the freedom to choose the surgery that suits them best. Patients can also choose to augment their facelift with other procedures, such as:

Eyelid Enhancement

Eyelid surgery, or Blepharoplasty is one of the most common operations performed on the face. It’s a way for patients to reawaken and restore vitality in the eye area. It’s an effective way for patients to address functional and aesthetic issues in the eyelids in one highly individualized procedure. Sagging skin in the upper and lower eyelids can give others the impression that we are always tired, or even mad. Dr. Cohen can perform a blepharoplasty procedure to remove the excess skin and fat from the eyelids for a brighter, more awake look. Patients may also consider a Brow Lift to rejuvenate their upper face and accentuate the results of their blepharoplasty.

Rhinoplasty

The rhinoplasty is a surgical alteration of the nose to achieve a patient’s desired silhouette. It’s also not exclusively a cosmetic procedure. The surgery can also improve nasal function where there is an obstruction and/or reduced airflow. (3) Rhinoplasties or “nose jobs” are highly individualized, complex surgeries, and only the most skilled plastic surgeons have the skills and knowledge to perform them. Dr. Cohen’s ranking as one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the country is a reassuring reminder that you’ll be in the safest of hands! Alongside rhinoplasty, he also offers corrective surgery for the ears.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a versatile way to remove unwanted fat from the body permanently. It can be used in many areas, including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, and buttocks. Dr. Cohen can also perform state-of-the-art VASER Hi Def liposculpture – the removal of fat and the tightening of skin simultaneously through the use of targeted ultrasound energy. Benefits of VASER include:

Greater emulsification (breaking down) of fat
Shorter operating time
Blood vessel and nerve preservation
Less postoperative pain, easier recovery
Less chance of hematoma (serious bruising)
