Face Lift
OUR FACE IS OUR MOST VISIBLE FEATURE, one that through expression and appearance conveys what and how we feel. Facial aging includes a loss of skin elasticity and firmness, sagging tissue and wrinkles and can be due to many factors including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions and stress, and the natural aging process. These visible signs of aging can greatly impact how we feel about ourselves and how others see us. If you are bothered by the loss of youthful contours in the mid face, jaw line and neck, a face lift may be right for you. In general, a face lift corrects and repositions sagging facial skin, fat, and muscles, and removes excess fat and skin to restore a more youthful, rested, and natural appearance.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)
THE EYES ARE THE FOCAL POINT OF THE FACE. Unfortunately, hereditary factors and signs of aging can greatly impact the appearance of our eyes, resulting in a tired, sad, or angry appearance. Cosmetic eyelid surgery can make a remarkable difference in how you look. If you are bothered by upper eyelids with excess, drooping skin, or by puffiness or bags in the lower eyelid, cosmetic eyelid surgery may be right for you. In general, eyelid surgery corrects the excess skin, tissue and fat that contributes to puffiness and bags in the upper and lower eyelids, restoring a more youthful, rested, and energetic appearance.

Forehead Lift / Brow Lift
ON DAYS WHEN YOU ARE FEELING WELL RESTED AND CONTENT, DOES YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSION TELL A DIFFERENT STORY?
A brow lift may help that tired, angry or sad look caused by the sagging of the eyebrows, forehead wrinkling, or frown lines. If you are bothered by these expression lines or signs of aging in the forehead and brow region, a brow lift (also called a forehead lift), may be a good option for you. A forehead lift corrects sagging or low position of the eyebrows, and smoothes the furrows across the forehead and between the brows. The outcome is a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. An endoscopic brow lift can be performed with minimally invasive surgical techniques involving multiple small incisions hidden within the hairline.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)
WHAT IS AN ATTRACTIVE NOSE? Quite simply, it is a nose that fits your face and achieves a harmonious balance with your other facial features. If you feel that your nose is out of proportion with your other facial features or does not complement your face, you may benefit from cosmetic surgery of the nose, also called rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is an individualized procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and general appearance of your nose. For example, different techniques can be used to reshape the bone and cartilage of the nose to improve a visible hump on the bridge of the nose or a nasal tip that is enlarged, bulbous, or drooping.

Otoplasty (Ears)
OUR FACE IS THE FIRST THING PEOPLE VISUALLY NOTICE ABOUT US. Our ears rarely attract attention when normal in size and relationship to our other facial features. However, protruding, large or misshapen ears can detract from our facial appearance and can affect self-image and confidence. If protruding ears bother you or your child, you may consider plastic surgery of the ear. Otoplasty can be performed to improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. In general, this ear surgery uses different techniques including the use of internal sutures to reshape the cartilage of the ear to create a natural shape, while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem.

Look More Refreshed and Rejuvenated with…
Botox is a highly effective and safe purified substance used to treat those tough wrinkles caused by muscle contraction. This in-office procedure performed by Dr. Eliopoulos is quick and easily tolerated, with no down time. Common injection sites include the horizontal forehead furrows, the vertical scowl lines between the brows, and the “crow’s feet” radiating from the outer corners of the eyes. Botox temporarily relaxes these muscles to soften these dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a more rested, rejuvenated, less angry look, while appearing very natural. Results are evident by about three-seven days and can last anywhere from three to six months.
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® is a purified protein that has been used therapeutically for
many years to treat a variety of medical conditions. The same
formulation was approved by the FDA in 2002 as BOTOX® Cosmetic
to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines
between the brows. BOTOX® Cosmetic continues to be one of the most
popular physician-administered cosmetic procedure in the United States. |

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?
Frown lines are caused by overactive facial muscles. As our skin becomes less elastic over time, “dynamic” wrinkles from repetitive muscle activity can ultimately result in “static” wrinkles that are present even at rest. These wrinkles often develop between the brows (glabellar lines), the outer eye area (crow’s feet), and forehead. During treatment, a few tiny injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered directly into the muscles that cause these stubborn lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks the chemicals that cause these targeted facial muscles to contract, thereby temporarily relaxing them. In this way, the wrinkles are softened, giving a more refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated appearance, while still appearing very natural.
What is the treatment like?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a safe and effective, yet quick and simple non-surgical procedure. Dr. Eliopoulos places a few tiny injections into the specific facial muscles which are causing those unwanted lines. The treatment is very tolerable and no anesthesia is required. There is no downtime. Localized redness or swelling typically resolves in less than 1 hour. Patients may occasionally develop temporary bruising which can be covered with makeup. Ideally, avoiding aspirin-like products prior to your treatment and excessive heat, sun, alcohol, or exercising right after your treatment can minimize the chance for bruising. You can expect to see results within 3-7 days after your treatment. Typically, results can last 3-4 months.
How do I know BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for me?
A consult will help determine if you can benefit from this safe and effective treatment. During this consult, your treatment plan will be individualized and any questions you have can be answered.

For a Smooth,
Natural Look & Feel |
Juvederm
Healthy skin has an abundance of collagen (the protein that provides your skin with structural support) and hyaluronic acid (a natural sugar in our cells that attracts and binds water like a sponge, hydrating the skin and giving it volume). With time, sun exposure, and other factors, both collagen and hyaluronic acid in your skin diminish. The skin becomes less elastic and loses structure and volume, and unwelcome lines and wrinkles appear. Thinning of the skin and atrophy of the underlying fat in the face result in visible loss of volume in and under the skin of the face. The result is more prominence of the nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines running downward from the corners of the mouth). Loss of volume in the lip itself can occur, along with vertical wrinkles along the lip.
How can volume loss and wrinkles be corrected?
Injectable dermal fillers are a safe, easy, and highly effective way to restore volume, reduce lines, and contour facial folds. Juvederm™ is a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid (HA) that can replace your skin’s lost hyaluronic acid. This FDA approved dermal (skin) filler can be injected by Dr. Eliopoulos just below the surface of the skin using a very fine needle, to instantly smooth out those unwanted wrinkles or folds around your nose or mouth, or plump up your lips to enhance their volume. The treatment is well tolerated and typically done with a local block (as in your dentist’s office) without significant downtime. Common side effects are usually mild and can include temporary redness, bruising, swelling, or tenderness. You may ask, what makes Juvederm™ different? Juvederm™ is produced by Allergan, Inc., (the distributors of BOTOX® Cosmetic as well) using patented technology creating a high degree of cross-linking which helps resist degradation. Juvederm™ is also the first smooth gel HA. These characteristics of Juvederm™ allow for it to flow consistently and easily into the skin, creating a long-lasting, smooth, natural look and feel. Results are immediate and may last up to six months or longer depending on the area treated and the amount of product used.
A consultation with Dr. Eliopoulos is the best way to learn which of the two formulations of Juvederm- Juvederm™ Ultra or the more robust Juvederm™ Ultra Plus will be best suited for your particular needs.
Why not make Juvederm™ part of your ongoing beauty regimen for a smooth, natural look and feel that lasts!

Cosmoplast®
Over the last 20 years in the U.S., millions of procedures have been performed using Collagen Replacement Therapy® to smooth facial lines and wrinkles. Collagen, the most abundant natural protein found in the body, provides structural support to your skin and helps keep it looking smooth and supple. Wrinkles form when this natural collagen layer thins due to aging, environmental exposures like sunlight, heredity, lifestyle, and other factors.
CosmoPlast®, made from highly purified human collagen, can be injected into the collagen layer just below the skin surface to fill in unwanted lines and wrinkles. CosmoPlast®can be used to fill in smile lines, vertical lip lines, marionette lines around the mouth, lip border, acne scars, and frown lines. Formulated with an anesthetic for comfort, this safe and effective treatment performed by Dr. Eliopoulos is well tolerated without significant down time. Treatment results are immediate and may last from several months depending on the area treated and the amount of collagen used.

A next generation filler for long lasting wrinkle correction and facial contouring!
|
|
With time, sun exposure, and other factors, collagen in your skin diminishes. The skin becomes less elastic and loses structure and volume, and unwelcome lines and wrinkles appear. Thinning of the skin, and atrophy of the underlying fat in the face, result in visible loss of volume in and under the skin of the face. The result is more prominence of the nasolabial folds (lines running from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth) and marionette lines (lines running downward from the corners of the mouth). We tend to also loose volume in the cheek area as well, which can create a more aged appearance due to the shadowing effect and also by contributing to skin excess at the nasolabial folds and below the eye area.
How can volume loss and wrinkles be corrected?
Many patients who show signs of aging including atrophy in the cheek area, often request correction of only their prominent nasolabial folds. Actually, considering cheek augmentation as a first step can rejuvenate the face and restore more youthful contours. Cheek augmentation tends to lessen the amount of excess skin in the nasolabial region by augmenting the underlying bony structure and providing a lifteffect. As a result, the nasolabial folds are softened and less volume of filler will be needed to provide full correction in the nasolabial fold.

What is RADIESSE®?
RADIESSE® is a safe, easy, and highly effective way to restore volume, reduce lines, and contour facial folds. RADIESSE® is a FDA-approved injectable dermal filler that restores a natural, long lasting, youthful look. You may ask, what makes RADIESSE® different? This convenient treatment
is made of unique calcium-hydroxylapatite microspheres (biocompatible and identical in
composition to the mineral portion of our bone and teeth) suspended in a water based gel
carrier. Calcium-hydroxylapatite has been used extensively for many years with many
medical applications in many specialties including dentistry, orthopedics, urology, and
neurosurgery. RADIESSE® works with your body, below the skin’s surface. The tiny
calcium-based microspheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. Over time, these microspheres gradually break down and are naturally absorbed by your body. In this way, RADIESSE® provides both immediate and long-lasting cosmetic augmentation, and may last 10-14 months. Treatment results may vary and are dependant on many factors, including the area of the face being treated, the age of the patient and their skin’s ability to synthesize new soft tissue, and their rate of metabolism. |
Dr. Eliopoulos injects RADIESSE® into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure in the office, with little or no down time. The treatment is well tolerated and typically done with a local block (as in your dentist’s office) and results are immediate. Each treatment is individualized depending on the areas of concern. Common areas of the face treated include the cheeks, the nasolabial folds, and the marionette lines, and jaw line to camouflage jowls. Normal, injection-related reactions such as mild irritation, swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site may occur and typically resolve on their own. A consultation is the best way to learn more about RADIESSE® and how it may be help you achieve a more rejuvenated appearance.
