Rhinoplasty
As the most prominent features of the face, the nose has significant influence on overall facial appearance. Whether caused by genetics or injury, a large or disproportionately shaped nose can skew the perception of other facial features. Using his exceptional skills in rhinoplasty, Dr. Wittpenn can sculpt your nose to create a more natural profile that accentuates and enhances your face. By shaping the nose so that it's centered and symmetrical, Dr. Wittpenn can achieve balanced, beautiful results.
Most rhinoplasty procedures are performed under general anesthesia in just one or two hours on an outpatient basis. During the surgery, Dr. Wittpenn separates the skin from the nose's bone and cartilage framework. After sculpting this framework into the desired shape and size, the skin is replaced over the newly formed nose.
Following a one week recovery period, most patients are able to return to their jobs and normal activities. Patients should exercise caution for the first couple of months after the rhinoplasty procedure and avoid participating in sports or other activities that can easily cause nasal injuries.
Many of our patients report that the boost in confidence and self-esteem is the greatest reward they receive from their rhinoplasty procedure. To learn how this confidence-enhancing surgery can benefit you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Wittpenn to discuss rhinoplasty at our practice near Tyler and Lufkin, Texas.
Face Lift
Age, stress, sun exposure, and a host of other factors can cause the skin to sag, leading to the development of lines and wrinkles. Fresh, youthful complexions gradually slip away, leaving facial features that can look prematurely old and tired. A face lift can rejuvenate the face by "turning back the clock" and enhance your confidence in business and social situations.
Dr. Wittpenn usually performs face lift as an outpatient procedure, requiring only general anesthesia. To erase lines and wrinkles and define facial contours, the doctor tightens the underlying muscles and removes any excess tissue, including fat. Any scarring is minimal and hidden discretely in the hairline or the folds of the ear. To learn more about how a face lift can restore that youthful glow, contact us to schedule a private face lift consultation with Dr. Wittpenn.
Forehead Lift
Often performed in conjunction with a face lift, a forehead lift is an excellent way to reduce deep brow lines and furrows. Years of exposure to sun and stress, coupled with the natural effects of aging, wear away the freshness and elasticity of the skin. During a forehead lift procedure, Dr. Wittpenn tightens the skin and underlying tissue to remove lines and give your face a more pleasing, alert and youthful appearance. Whether performed alone, or in combination with another facial plastic surgery procedure, forehead lift is a relatively simple way to erase years from your face.
Eyelid Lift
Baggy, droopy eyelids can give the impression of constant fatigue and stress. An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is one possible treatment to improve the appearance of your eyes. By skillfully removing fat and tightening the skin around the eyes, Dr. Wittpenn can give your face a smoother, fresher, and more alert appearance. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia, and typically takes one to two hours. Eyelid lifts are often performed in conjunction with another facial plastic surgery procedure, such as facelift or Juvederm treatments. Contact our practice in Nacogdoches to learn more about the benefits of blepharoplasty.
Facial Implants
Known for their versatility, facial implants can strengthen and restore the contours of the face. They can augment bone structure to make the face more proportionate, rejuvenate facial structure when age takes its toll, and be used for reconstructive treatment after facial trauma. Dr. Wittpenn often uses facial implants to complement another procedure, such as rhinoplasty, facial liposuction, or a face lift, to help rejuvenate the face and bring features into proper balance.
Dr. Wittpenn inserts facial implants through a small incision near the targeted area. Once the implants are in place, the incision is sutured and the surgery is complete. Performed under general anesthesia, this outpatient procedure takes only one to two hours. Want to know more about how facial implants can improve the contours and balance of your face? Schedule a facial surgery consultation with Dr. Wittpenn.
Lip Augmentation
Are you unhappy with your thin, flat lips or the myriad lines and creases around your mouth? Or perhaps your lips are not proportionate to your face-too full or lopsided? Lip augmentation by Dr. Wittpenn might be the solution you're looking for. Lip augmentation is a short, outpatient procedure in which the lips are enhanced with implants or injections of synthetic materials or fats. Aside from minor swelling and soreness, post-treatment recovery is generally brief, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days. To learn more about lip augmentation, or other procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Juvederm, or rhinoplasty, contact our practice near Tyler and Lufkin, Texas.
Ear Pinning
Also known as otoplasty, ear pinning is a method of surgically reducing or restructuring the shape and size of a person's ears. In this procedure, cartilage in the back of the ear is exposed, sculpted, and realigned with the head for a more balanced, streamlined look. Although otoplasty is most often performed on young children to prevent years of teasing or ridicule from their peers, ear pinning is also a viable option for adults. If your ears are unbalanced or obtrusive, otoplasty by Dr. Wittpenn can give them a more natural, subtle appearance.
