"We live in an age where everything is hurried," Dr. Owens says. "That often includes medical service. I like to take more time with my patients to get to know them and to give them time to know me. It gives me a chance to build strong bonds with my patients. They see me more than a physician; they see me as a friend."
Blepharoplasty (Eye Lifts) - Used to treat excess fat and skin in the upper and lower lids. It is possible to resume normal daily activities within 4 to 7 days.
Forehead Lifts - Used to raise the brows and minimize frown lines between the brows and on the forehead. Recuperation time is usually 7 days.
Face Lifts - Typically Dr. Owens performs a deep plane face lift which elevates the muscle, fat, and connective tissues of the face. This repositions the cheek fat pads, eliminates jowling, and tightens the neck skin. The newer techniques result in less bruising and swelling than the traditional face lift. Ten to fifteen days off from work are suggested.
Neck Lifts - This is typically performed in conjunction with a facelift, but may be performed in isolation in young patients with adequate skin elasticity.
Rhinoplasty - Dr. Owens tailors the outcome of the rhinoplasty to fit individual needs and considers the long term effects of nasal surgery. The nose is not packed with gauze as a rule, and recuperation time is 4 to 7 days.
Otoplasty - A straightforward procedure usually to minimize protrusion of the ear from the head.
Lip enhancement - We offer several modalities to enlarge and shape the lips ranging from implants to injection of filler material.
Chin Augmentation - Used to create a balance of facial features. Downtime is about 4 to 5 days.
Cheek Augmentation - Creates bone structure when it is lacking.
