Surgery AS an art form

There is no "boilerplate" facelift. Each patient requires a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Franklin will discuss areas of concern, appearance goals and the best options for their specific facial structure. While each plastic surgeon goes through the same extensive training, plastic surgery is unique in that you need surgical brilliance but also a keen eye for the person's individual traits and how surgery can best complement them.

So many of our patients enjoy active, vibrant lives, yet when they look in the mirror, they don't see a reflection that mimics how they feel on the inside. One patient said, "I feel like I'm twenty-two, but when I look in the mirror, I wonder, 'who is this person?'"

We each age in different ways and in different areas of our face. Some patients desire more jaw definition. Some see their cheeks losing volume, and the fullness they used to have is replaced with wrinkles. Many patients have an area in particular that bothers them that can be easily corrected through facial plastic surgery. You don't have to spend the rest of your life with the chin you hate or the jowls that remind you of your grandmother.

Solutions for face, neck & eyes


FACELIFT

Look as good as you feel.
So many of our patients enjoy active, vibrant lives, yet when they look in the mirror, they don’t see a reflection that mimics how they feel on the inside. One patient said, “I feel like I’m twenty-two, but when I look in the mirror, I wonder, ‘who is this woman?’ It’s all I see.”

We each age in different ways and in different areas of our face. Some patients desire more jaw definition. Some see their cheeks losing volume, and the fullness they used to have is replaced with wrinkles. Many patients have an area in particular that bothers them which can be easily corrected through facial plastic surgery. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life with a face that doesn’t match your spirit and energy.


NECK LIFT

As we age, the appearance of our necks can unfairly contribute to a less youthful look, and sagging skin can take away from our overall appearance. Loose skin around the neck, sagging skin under the chin and hanging jowls can add years to a person's appearance.

Many benefits in one procedure.
A neck lift provides a firmer shape to your jaw, a smooth, relaxed and wrinkle free neck as well as a more defined chin. Many of our patients find the results of a neck lift to be quite remarkable and a tremendous boost to their confidence.


EYELID SURGERY - BLEPHAROPLASTY

Puffiness, loose skin, bags under the eyes, tired expression and wrinkles are some of the concerns our patients share with us about their eyes. Eyelid surgery is tremendously popular as the skin around our eyes is very thin and usually the first area of our face to begin to show aging.

Dr. Franklin is very particular about studying your eye shape, your eye movement and how your eyes fit with the rest of the face in order to ensure your eyelid surgery is completely natural looking.

Expertise and Experience.
It is imperative you select a plastic surgeon with vast experience in eyelid surgery - a surgeon who knows how to create the right look that is unique to you, so you look like you when the surgery is complete.
