When to Consider a Facial Procedure

"Many patients who visit our office in Birmingham are in their 50s and 60s, who are hoping to improve their facial appearance. I have a lot of respect for so many of my patients in this age group,” explains Dr. Petro. “Many haven’t had time to take much care with their appearance.  Now, they have the time. And they want to look the way they did when they were too busy to enjoy it.”

For some patients, the goal is to create harmony among the facial features. By refining certain aspects such as the nose, chin, neck, or brow, a significant aesthetic improvement can be realized.

Brow Lift

A brow lift is a common procedure that helps to reduce signs of aging on the forehead and brows. Cosmetic surgeons often combine the brow lift with a facelift or eyelid lift. Through this operation, Dr. Petro restores a youthful arch in the eyebrows, opens up the eye area and reduces visible wrinkles.

Cheek Augmentation

Cheek augmentation can increase the projection of your cheeks and help restore a youthful appearance. Facial implants can be used to augment the underlying cheekbone and dermal fillers can restore volume in the tissue.

Chin Surgery

Cosmetic chin surgery involves reshaping or augmentation of the chin, often using facial implants. Smallness of the chin (a condition known as microgenia) is the most common indication for cosmetic chin surgery.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a surgical technique for skin refinishing. Through controlled abrasion of the skin, your cosmetic surgeon can remove irregularities in the skin texture. A dermabrasion procedure can help improve the skin on your face, chest, or elsewhere.

Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed for men and women who have excess tissue around the upper or lower eyelids. A variety of causes contribute to the formation of eye bags. Heredity, aging and stress can play a role.

Ear Surgery

Otoplasty, sometimes called Pinnaplasty or ear pinning surgery, is a common procedure for reshaping of prominent ears. Often performed for children, otoplasty can help prevent harmful teasing from the patient’s peers.

Facelift

Facelift surgery is the procedure of choice for patients who want to reduce deep facial wrinkles, sagging jowls and other signs of aging.

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is also known as micro lipo-injection. In this procedure, Dr. Petro removes a small amount of fat from one area of the body and then injects it into another area.

Neck Contouring

Neck contouring can involve a number of different procedures. Some patients have excess fat in the neck area, while others are bothered by loose skin caused by aging. We offer procedures that can address concerns of each type.

Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty are surgical procedures that can improve the appearance and function of a person’s nose. Rhinoplasty is a common procedure that can reshape the nose, while septoplasty is intended to resolve nasal breathing problems.
