FACIAL PROCEDURES
FACE LIFT 
A facelift removes excess, “saggy“ skin from the face and neck to smooth out wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance to the face, neck and jawline. A variety of techniques are available to accomplish this, including skin-only, mini-facelift and traditional facelift/neck lift. If desired, facelifts can be combined with additional procedures, such as blepharoplasty (eyelid tightening), facial fat injections or chemical peels for facial skin rejuvenation. Bruising typically resolves in one to two weeks with patients often returning to normal, low stress activity during that time.
This procedure is done on an outpatient basis at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our fully licensed and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center, located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

EYELID SURGERY 
Drooping, “saggy” upper eyelids, and puffy bags under the eyes can make you look sad, tired, and older than your age. In fact, excessive upper eyelid tissue may even interfere with your vision. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid tightening surgery, is a procedure to remove this excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. In many cases, upper eyelid blepharoplasty may be performed simply under local anesthesia. Patients are usually able to return to low-stress normal activities within 2-3 days. Bruising and swelling typically lasts about one week, and sutures are removed in about ten days.
This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our fully licensed and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

FOREHEAD / BROW LIFT 
Drooping, “saggy” upper eyelids may often be the result of a forehead (brow) that has descended with time and age. In order to correct this, the forehead should be restored to a more youthful anatomic position. This may be accomplished with a variety of approaches, including direct and transblepharoplasty, as well as endoscopically. Brow lifts may also be done in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as blepharoplasty (eyelid tightening surgery). Patient typically return to normal, low-stress activities within 5-7 days, with bruising and swelling usually resolving within 1-2 weeks.

Otoplasties can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the age and needs of the patient. Bruising and swelling usually reside within one week, with sutures being removed at 2 weeks.

Rhinoplasty can improve the size and shape of your nose, resulting in better facial harmony and overall appearance. An external nasal splint is typically worn for one week.

FAT GRAFTING
Fat grafting is a technique that uses your body’s own extra fat to fill in areas that have thinned out with age and time. Often considered a permanent solution to soft tissue fillers, fat grafting often entails removing fat from your abdominal area and placing it in an area you feel is starting to look aged or “saggy”. Target areas often included around the lips, the cheekbones or around the chin.
Fat Grafting be performed in our procedure room with local anesthesia. This procedure may also be performed at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our fully licensed and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

NON-SURGICAL
DERMAL FILLERS
As we age, our skin begins to lose collagen and fat, resulting in a loss of volume in the face, neck, and hands. Combine this with the inevitable pull of gravity, and we see the lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin that are most often associated with the aging face. Dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm are an ideal treatment for restoring volume to the face and hands, and volume is what the eye associates with youth. Made from either natural or synthetic materials, these fillers, also known as injectables, work by literally filling in your hollows, folds, and lines. The results can last anywhere from four or five months to a year. The surgeons at Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona will discuss all of the dermal filler options available to you during your initial consultation.
Dermal fillers are performed as an outpatient procedure and are particularly useful for filling cheek and oral lines. They also work extremely well for lip augmentation, allowing our surgeons to create youthful, vibrant looking lips thus improving the overall appearance of the lower face. Dermal fillers are effective on both men and women, and, like Botox, can easily be done during your off hours from work since there are few adverse side effects other than a bit of redness, swelling and/or bruising in the treated area which should subside within a couple of days. To learn more about dermal fillers at Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, contact us today at (928) 774-2300 or (800) 962-1390 to schedule a Dermal Fillers consultation at any of our eight Northern Arizona locations.
LIP AUGMENTATION
As we age, our lips shrink in both shape and volume. This can not only make us look older than we are, but can also contribute to a poor self-image. To combat this problem, there are a number of fillers available today that can easily restore your lips to their former glory. At Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, lip augmentation can be done with dermal fillers such as Restylane, and Juvederm or with biologic fillers such as fat grafting. The latter creates a permanent new lip shape and volume while the former will fade over time. With both, injections are done into multiple areas of the lip, allowing our surgeons to sculpt your desired shape.
Although this procedure is often maligned in the press due to excesses on the part of certain actresses, our highly skilled surgeons are experts at creating a natural-looking, full-bodied lip. To learn more about lip augmentation at Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, contact us today at (928) 774-2300 or (800) 962-1390 to schedule a lip augmentation consultation at any of our eight Northern Arizona locations.
LASER SKIN RESURFACING
With time, our skin begins to show signs of exposure to the elements. Sun, wind and dry air are the biggest offenders, but the passing years are also to blame. As we age, our skin loses collagen resulting in sagging skin, lines, and wrinkles. It is inevitable, but there is hope. But there is hope. Laser skin resurfacing allows us to reverse the ravages of time by removing the most damaged areas of the skin without sedation. Effective for treating dark spots, uneven skin tone, dull skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical procedure that can be performed as a stand-alone intervention or in conjunction with facial plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, cosmetic eyelid surgery or neck lift. Capable of smoothing out the fine lines and wrinkles of the eyes and mouth, softening deep laugh and frown creases, and minimizing acne and surgical scars, laser skin resurfacing is ideal for men or women of all ages.
At Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, our highly skilled surgeons currently offer laser skin resurfacing using the Sharplan SilkTouch CO2 laser. Laser skin resurfacing is a wonderful way for patients to freshen the appearance of their skin without surgery. It works by stripping off the outer layer of your skin to reveal the new skin underneath while also stimulating renewal of your skin’s own collagen. The result is radiant, full, smooth skin, and a younger-looking you. To learn more about laser skin resurfacing at Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, contact us today at (928) 774-2300 or (800) 962-1390 to schedule a laser skin resurfacing consultation at any of our eight Northern Arizona locations.
MICRO-NEEDLING
Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for treating the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance. During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in improvement of the appearance of softer wrinkles. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial micro-channels which can be used with topical gels, creams and serums to help improve the appearance of the skin. The benefits of micro-needling are a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. Eclipse MicroPen™ also has a positive effect on hyper-pigmentation as well as on hypo-pigmentation, acne scars, traumatic scars and stretch marks and generally creates a fresher appearance or glow to the skin.
