Facial Cosmetic Surgery
Many of today's facial cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive and can be performed in an office setting using local and/or intravenous anesthesia. Some procedures may require use of an outpatient or same day surgery center.
Because of his surgical, medical and dental backgrounds, Dr. Wolfrom is uniquely qualified to perform cosmetic procedures that involve the functional and aesthetic aspects of the face, mouth, teeth and jaws. As a result of extensive education and training with surgical procedures involving soft tissue (skin and muscle) and hard tissue (bone and cartilage), we understand the importance for harmony involving facial appearance and function.
Common Procedures
Botox® Injections can reduce the signs of aging by reducing the muscle activity and wrinkles of the eyebrow and forehead. In addition, certain patients who have received Botox benefited from a reduction in headaches and temporomandibular joint pain.
Injectable Fillers (Juvederm™/Restylane®) are used extensively to correct mild to moderate nasolabial folds and fine lines around the mouth. They are also used to elevate depressed scars, enhance lip and cheek size and contour, and restore facial symmetry.
Lip Enhancement can reshape the upper and lower lip to give a more aesthetic or youthful appearance. Augmentation of the lips is accomplished using various materials that help "plump" the lips, creating fullness.
Chin Surgery (Genioplasty) increases or reduces the length and projection of the chin.
Cheekbone Implants (Malar Augmentation) create the appearance of higher, more prominent cheekbones and better facial balance.
