The Essence of Facial Beauty

Eyelid Enhancement & Brow Lift

A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness. - John Keats The “Undetectable” Facelift     We all suffer from the consequences of age, but today, women and men are discovering that by removing and repositioning excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin, a Face-Lift procedure may provide an excellent solution.  However, Drs. West, McNeel, Fabian and Hanna believe it is important to avoid an operated-on look that lets the world know you have had a cosmetic procedure.   Fortunately, by performing a full or mini-face lift, the skill and artistry of our board certified plastic surgeons can enable patients to look years younger with improvements that appear natural and virtually undetectable.

Baggy, droopy eyelids project a tired appearance, often making individuals look older than their age.  Drs. West, McNeel, Fabian and Hanna perform an eyelid enhancement procedure known as blepharoplasty, and oftentimes a brow lift, to rejuvenate these features to recapture a more youthful appearance.   You can choose to undergo our facial procedures individually, to focus on the aging of a specific feature, or you can restore the entire face to a youthful appearance, undergoing a number of rejuvenating procedures simultaneously. In consultation with your surgeon, you can describe your goals, and he can recommend the aesthetic rejuvenation treatments that will best meet your objectives.

Nose Beautification     

Drs. West, McNeel, Fabian and Hanna perform rhinoplasty, a surgical procedure in which deformities of the nose are corrected by removing, rearranging or reshaping bone or cartilage.   Appearance can be improved for those people who are dissatisfied with the shape and size of their nose.  However, it should be noted that rhinoplasty requires a great deal of skill and precision, therefore, patients should choose a board certified plastic surgeon to perform this procedure

Cheek and Chin Augmentation
In addition to the nose, the cheekbones and chin help define the complete facial profile. For those who feel their cheeks need to be
lifted or their chins more prominent, our plastic surgeons offer cheek and chin implants made of synthetic materials proven safe and
reliable. A wide variety of shapes and sizes is available to customize your facial profile. Chin implants are increasingly used in
conjunction with rhinoplasty.

Hair Replacement & Transplant Surgery  

More than half of American men and 10 percent of American women experience some form of premature hair loss primarily due to hereditary factors. Unfortunately, if you are experiencing early hair loss, you can't alter your genes. However, there are surgical solutions for bald spots, thinning hair, and patches of scalp where hair no longer grows. At Marietta Plastic Surgery, our hair replacement and transplant surgery specialists perform state-of-the-art procedures to give you a fuller head of hair and boost your confidence.  The Hair Transplant Surgery Procedure: Micro-Hair Transplantation  Every year, 180,000 men opt for hair replacement and hair transplant surgery.  In transplant procedures of the past, an entire strip of scalp was removed and implanted into bald spots at the front and top of the head, which left significant scarring, took considerable time to heal, and could cause permanent

numbness on the patient's scalp. At Marietta Plastic Surgery, we utilize modern micro-hair transplantation techniques to address thinning hair and bald spots without the many adverse effects to the scalp. Now, instead of one large graft, we place many smaller grafts taken from discrete areas of the scalp. Patients who undergo hair transplant surgery at our Atlanta-area offices generally need between 300 and 3,000 hair grafts to achieve the desired result. The number varies depending on the patients' hair quality and the amount of hair loss. With this technique, fewer sessions are needed to achieve a fuller head of hair, and the results are more natural looking.  Benefits of Hair Transplant Surgery  The results of hair transplant surgery are permanent and maintenance-free after the grafts have healed. The procedure also enhances the confidence of patients. Our patients often report higher self-esteem and a sense of personal satisfaction from their new appearance.

Otoplasty    
Ears that are larger than the norm or protrude conspicuously can be a source of extreme embarrassment and ridicule. Children are especially sensitive to this, but adults can also suffer. Marietta Plastic Surgery offers otoplasty to correct large or prominent ears. 

Many otoplasties are performed on adults because this problem was not corrected at an earlier age.  In the case of protruding ears, the most common difficulty, cartilage can be removed from behind the ear to reposition it closer to the side of the head.  In addition, many women who feel self-conscious about their ears, now have the opportunity to wear a variety of hair styles. Our surgeons can also perform more complex surgery to reduce the size or correct the shape of the ear.
