The choice to undergo facial plastic surgery is personal and should be made to please yourself and not someone else. There are a variety of procedures you may consider to help you achieve your goals. People choose to have facial plastic surgery in St. Petersburg for several different reasons, but whatever your reason, you should choose an experienced and skilled plastic surgeon with the education and training required to perform these procedures.
Dr. Percy Lo is a triple board-certified reconstructive and plastic surgeon at Allure Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery. His detail-oriented cosmetic procedures help men and women improve their self-confidence and self-image.
Facial plastic surgery procedures reshape areas in the head and neck. Cosmetic plastic surgery can help reverse the visible signs of aging, balance asymmetry or irregularities, and improve the proportion of features on the face. Plastic surgery may also be requested for reconstruction after disease or injury has damaged areas of the face or to change a feature present from birth.
Your first step is a consultation with Dr. Lo to discuss your goals and the potential risks and benefits of the recommended procedures. Depending on the situation, your facial surgery may be done as an inpatient or outpatient procedure at our office in St. Petersburg. After the surgery, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions from Dr. Lo that should be carefully followed. This can help reduce the risk of complications after surgery, including infection.
Our mission at Allure Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery is to listen to your concerns and make recommendations that will help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
We offer a wide variety of facial plastic surgeries for men and women in St. Petersburg. Most can be done independently or in combination with other procedures. Below are a few popular facial plastic surgery options you may consider:
This procedure is sometimes called a forehead lift as it reduces the appearance of frown lines and positions the eyebrows in a more alert and youthful placement. Adjustments are made to the skin and underlying muscle and tissue to enhance facial harmony and result in a more refreshed look.
This procedure enhances the contour of the cheeks. Dr. Lo may use fat grafting, implants, or injectable fillers to achieve the results. Cheek augmentation helps create a more defined facial profile, contributing to better overall facial proportions and a more youthful appearance.
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, alters the shape, position, or size of the ears. A common ear surgery is to correct protruding ears by pinning them closer to the head or reshaping them. Ear surgery can be performed on children and adults to improve self-image.
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, helps create a more youthful facial appearance by reducing the visible signs of aging. Repositioning the skin on the face and neck can help diminish wrinkles and reduce sagging, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated facial appearance.
This cosmetic procedure helps define the jawline and restore a youthful neck. Dr. Lo may remove excess fat and extra skin on the lower face, which develops into jowls. Redefining the neck contour provides a smoother appearance and can correct neck bands, which are the visible lines that run vertically down your neck to your collarbone.
This is technically referred to as a buccal lipectomy. It is a surgical procedure that reduces cheek volume and enhances facial contours. Dr. Lo carefully excises fat from the buccal space to achieve a more defined cheek and facial structure. The surgery is ideal for those seeking a less rounded face and is a long-lasting solution with a short recovery time.
Chin surgery, also called mentoplasty, includes procedures that help to reshape or enhance the size and projection of the chin. Using augmentation with implants or reduction surgery on the bone, the chin contour is customized to balance the proportions of your face.
The medical term for eyelid surgery is blepharoplasty. The procedure involves removing and repositioning skin, muscle, and fat to correct droopy eyelids and under-eye bags. The procedure rejuvenates the eye area, resulting in a more rested appearance. It is ideal for those whose vision is impaired by drooping eyelids, which can significantly enhance facial expression.
Facial implants are used to alter the structural anatomy of the face and provide a more balanced appearance. Dr. Lo uses biocompatible materials in the cheeks, jaw, or chin to achieve the desired contours and proportions. Facial implant surgery is tailored to your unique facial structure and offers a long-lasting solution for boosting self-confidence.
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a procedure that alters the shape, size, or proportions of the nose to address facial harmony and correct impaired breathing. Modifications to the nasal cartilage and bones aim to achieve a natural-looking outcome that complements facial features.
