Facial Plastic Surgery Options in Houston
Chaowen Wu, MD, PhD and her specialist facial rejuvenation team in Houston and The Woodlands offer the following facial plastic surgery procedures to suit your needs.
Primary Facelift
This is the traditional facelift procedure that aims to tighten loose or sagging skin, reduce wrinkles and folds, and address and skin laxity. Dr. Wu offers this procedure to reverse signs of aging and give her patients a smoother and youthful facial contour.
Deep Plane Facelift
This is a complex procedure that addresses advanced signs of aging by lifting and repositioning the skin and deeper facial muscles and tissues. Dr. Wu uses this specialized technique to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation by addressing the underlying structural changes that occur with aging.
Mini Facelift
A mini rhytidectomy, often referred to as a “short-scar” or “S-lift” facelift is a less invasive type of facelift that focuses on reversing early signs of aging in the lower face and neck. Dr. Wu uses this technique to remove sagging skin and mild to moderate jowls to reveal a smoother facial appearance.
Neck Lift
Neck lift surgery, also called a cervicoplasty, targets loose skin, excess fat, and/or muscle bands in the neck area. Dr. Wu performs this technique with the exclusive focus to address signs of aging in the neck and lower face and reveal a youthful and balanced lower face appearance.
Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat grafting is a custom technique that involves harvesting fat from one area of the body (such as the thighs or abdomen) and using it to restore hollow or sunken areas, enhance contours, and improve overall facial appearance.
Eyelid Surgery
Dr. Wu offers eyelid surgery in Houston to address drooping upper eyelids, puffy lower eyelids, along with fine lines and wrinkles. The surgeon’s expertise enables her to offer a highly specialized eyelid surgery with minimal scarring to deliver natural looking results.
Brow lift
A forehead lift aims to lift sagging brows, reduce forehead wrinkles and create a more open and alert expression. The surgeon specializes in diverse brow lifting techniques including the endoscopic brow lift, the temporal brow lift, and the coronal brow lift to suit the needs to different patients.
Custom Facial Techniques
Dr. Wu goes a step further and offers self-described facelift techniques to suit the needs of her patients. Some of these additional techniques may include the ponytail facelift, the vertical facelift, and the mid rhytidectomy.
Rhinoplasty
Aging of the eyelids can appear as eyelid hooding, hollowing, dark circles and puffiness under the eyes, and just general tired appearance. Eyelid surgery can remove excess skin and reposition the fat to reawaken tired eyes.
