Facial Surgery
You feel like you are still 25 years old yet, in the mirror, you look much older than you are. You hate the crow’s feet, the wrinkles around the eyes, sagging neck and waddle that has moved in – uninvited – under your chin. Creams and other elixirs claim to remove years of aging, but are just gimmicks when compared to the safe, effective surgical procedures offered by Dr. Ellen. Facial plastic surgery can dramatically reduce the effects of damage incurred by aging, sun exposure, stress and smoking. There are a variety of facial plastic surgery options to choose from, depending on what areas of your appearance you would like to improve. Ask Dr. Ellen during your private, one-on-one consultation which procedure is right for you.
Facelift
When you look in the mirror, do you dream of the smooth, tight and youthful appearance you once had? It can be yours again through the procedure known as a Facelift (rhytidectomy). No products, department store creams or serums can have the immediate, dramatic effect of a facelift, taking years off your appearance by getting rid of excess fat, tightening muscle tissue and re-draping neck and facial skin.
In most cases, a facelift provides great benefit for more than ten years. A facelift is designed for the person who has severe facial skin laxity and sagging. This procedure improves the jaw line, cheeks, and nasiofold area. Done under general anesthetic, a facelift is the only effective way to truly reverse the signs of aging and return your youthful appearance. Dr. Ellen’s skilled surgical artistry will give you the results you expect from a procedure like this. During your private, one-on-one consultation, Dr. Ellen will explain the risks and rewards you can expect, including recovery time and supplemental procedures to maximize the effect a facelift creates.
While a facelift is the most effective procedure for immediate age reduction, it may not necessarily improve sagging brows, forehead, neck or eyelids and is not intended to treat wrinkle lines. Other, less invasive procedures like a chemical peel, and/or injectable fillers like Botox or collagen may be recommended. Ask Dr. Ellen which treatment is right for you.
Eyelid Surgery
Your puffy, tired eyes always give away your age and you can’t stand it any longer. Creams don’t work, cucumbers and tea bags are a myth, and no matter how much sleep you get your eyes always look tired and old. You are not alone. And because our eyes are known as the windows to our soul, you want them to shout out that you are beautiful, youthful and full of life. Dr. Ellen offers a procedure known as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), or surgical rejuvenation of the eyelids.
This procedure is performed to reduce or remove “bags” below the eyes and sagging upper lids. The only bags you will have after this surgery are those used to pack your clothes for that trip you’ve been planning. Eyelid surgery is most effective because it removes excess skin, fat or muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.
While mainly a cosmetic procedure, eyelid surgery can also alleviate a medical condition known as ptosis, or drooping eyelid, which can interfere in vision and give you an appearance of sleepiness that is only correctable through this procedure.
Give your eyes that youthful sparkle and ask Dr. Ellen during your private, one-on-one consultation whether eyelid surgery is right for you.

Nose Surgery
“Oh, your nose gives you character.” You’ve heard that your whole life and it never quite satisfies the angst you feel. Nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, is the grand daddy of elective plastic surgery procedures. No other surgical technique can enhance your appearance like a nose job will. Nose surgery has the beneficial effect of softening your appearance at the same time as it enhances your breathing. Many patients who request nose surgery also suffer from a deviated septum which interferes with breathing and can cause snoring and other sleep-related disorders.
Nose surgery can subtly or dramatically alter the shape of your nose's tip or bridge, reduce or increase your nose's size, narrow the span of the nostrils, and/or alter the angle between your nose and upper lip, improving balance and proportion. Ask Dr. Ellen how nose surgery can benefit you during your private, one-on-one consultation.
Brow Lift
Have you been told you always look angry or worried because of a furrowed brow? Do your eyes not have the sparkle you know they should? A brow lift may be the answer you have been waiting for. A brow lift or forehead lift can allow the ‘youthful you’ trapped within to again show to the world. A minimally invasive procedure, brow and forehead lifts create instant results with little pain and short recovery.
If you don’t feel sad or angry, why should your face say that you are? Let Dr. Ellen explain the benefits of a brow or forehead lift in helping to achieve a more youthful look. The procedure literally picks up the brow and virtually eliminates horizontal lines across the forehead that can mislead people about what you are feeling. Call for your private, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Ellen today - she will explain the benefits and ease of this procedure for you.
Facial Resurfacing
Erase your age. Forget the countless foundations, creams and serums peddled at department stores because none is as effective and permanent as a chemical peel. A popular, non-surgical way to gain back lost youth, a chemical peel only takes a short amount of time but the results last for years. Literally removing the outer layers of your skin, a chemical peel exposes fresh, youthful skin by erasing years of sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, persistent dry skin, blemishes and uneven pigmentation.
Patients who choose this popular procedure rave about the results while experiencing a quick recovery.
After a chemical peel, increased cell growth promotes new, healthier layers beneath the surface – giving the face a more rejuvenated appearance. While a chemical peel is not intended to treat deep wrinkles or significantly sagging skin, it is a safe, proven method for refreshing aging skin without surgical intervention. Ask Dr. Ellen about the benefits of a chemical peel during your private, one-on-one consultation.
Ear Surgery
Does the word “Dumbo” make you cringe? Are your ears one of the first things people notice about you? Your ears should be proportional to your head, and should sit close enough not to be a noticeable part of your appearance. Ear surgery can decrease the size of your ears, or set more prominent ears closer to the head.
For some, ear surgery is less about vanity than correcting a malformation from birth. You don’t have to be embarrassed about your ears, and Dr. Ellen can explain the benefits of ear surgery, or otoplasty, during consultation. If you have protruding or deformed ears and ear lobes; a “lop” ear where the tip bends down and forward; or a “cupped” or “shelled” ear (typically a disproportionately small ear without a natural crease), or simply large drooping lobes from aging, Dr. Ellen has the solution.
Ask Dr. Ellen whether you are a good candidate for ear surgery during your private, one-on-one consultation.
