Surgical Treatments

Minimal access, cutting-edge surgical techniques to restore, enhance, and rejuvenate you to your youthful self.

Revolumizing Treatments

Fat transfer (also known as autologous fat grafting) involves harvesting fat from one area of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs), purifying it, and then re-injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume, such as the cheeks, under the eyes, or jawline. This technique restores natural volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances contours for a more youthful appearance.

Laser & Light-based Treatments

Personalized laser & light-based treatments that target specific areas of the skin, improving texture, tone, and overall appearance. Depending on the type of laser, treatments can address issues like wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and pigmentation. Lasers work by stimulating collagen production and encouraging skin rejuvenation, leading to smoother, clearer skin with minimal downtime.

Brow Lift

A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgery to raise sagging eyebrows and smooth forehead wrinkles. It improves the appearance of the upper face and reduces signs of aging, resulting in a more youthful and alert expression.

Upper/Lower Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Skin Excess: This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids. It helps to restore a youthful appearance, reduce drooping, and improve vision if the excess skin obstructs sight.

Lower Eyelid Bags: Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions fat from the lower eyelids to eliminate puffiness or bags. It helps rejuvenate the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of tiredness and aging.

Ptosis Repair

Upper Eyelid Hangs Too Low: Ptosis repair corrects the condition where one or both upper eyelids droop, caused by weak eyelid muscles. This procedure lifts the eyelid to improve vision and create a more alert, open-eyed look.

Deep Plane Face/Neck Lift

Minimal Access - A deep plane facelift addresses sagging skin and tissues in the lower face and neck. This technique lifts deeper facial structures for a more natural and long-lasting result, restoring a youthful contour and reducing jowls and neck laxity.

To Improve Jawline Contour, Jowls, Neck Banding, and Area Under Your Chin: A neck lift targets sagging skin and muscles in the neck, improving the jawline, contouring the neck, and addressing bands of skin for a more youthful and defined appearance.

Midface Lift

Sagging Cheeks and Deep Nasolabial Folds: A midface lift targets the cheeks and nasolabial folds to lift sagging skin, improve cheek volume, and reduce the depth of wrinkles around the mouth, restoring a smoother, youthful appearance.

Lip Lift

Heavy, Elongated Upper Lip: A lip lift involves removing excess skin from the upper lip area to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, giving the lips a more youthful, defined, and aesthetically balanced appearance.

State-of-the-Art Recovery Optimization Protocol

Our NEXT LEVEL Recovery Protocol integrates advanced regenerative treatments designed to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration following surgery. This multi-faceted approach combines Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), regenerative stem cells, Photobiomodulation (PBM), and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) treatments to support optimal recovery and accelerate healing.

  1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which increases oxygen supply to tissues and promotes healing. This therapy enhances cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and supports the body’s natural healing processes by improving oxygen delivery to damaged tissues.

  2. Regenerative Stem Cells: Stem cell therapy uses the body's own regenerative cells to promote tissue healing and regeneration. Stem cells can repair damaged tissues by stimulating the production of new, healthy cells. This process supports faster recovery by improving cellular function, enhancing collagen production, and reducing inflammation.

  3. Photobiomodulation (PBM): PBM utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity, reduce pain, and accelerate tissue healing. This non-invasive therapy enhances blood circulation and collagen synthesis, which improves skin texture and reduces recovery time by increasing cellular regeneration in the affected areas.

  4. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy: PEMF therapy uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate cell function and promote healing. It enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and increases cellular repair by stimulating tissue regeneration at the cellular level. This treatment helps reduce swelling, pain, and promotes the overall recovery process.

Together, these therapies form a comprehensive and synergistic recovery protocol that maximizes healing, improves outcomes, and minimizes downtime, providing YOU with a faster and more effective recovery.

Hair Restoration

  • Hair Transplantation

    Hair Transplantation with Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): FUE is a minimally invasive hair restoration technique where individual hair follicles are harvested from a donor area (typically the back of the head) and transplanted into thinning or balding areas. This method ensures a natural-looking hairline with minimal scarring and faster recovery compared to traditional hair transplant methods.

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma and Nanofat

    Regenerative Autologous Products with PRP and Nanofat: This procedure uses your body's own regenerative cells to promote healing and rejuvenation. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from your blood, rich in growth factors that stimulate hair growth, improve skin texture, and reduce inflammation. Nanofat is a refined form of fat derived from your own tissue, injected to restore volume, improve skin quality, and enhance healing, and restore hair. Both treatments are natural and safe, leveraging your body’s healing powers for optimal results.
