Planning Your Perfect Facial Procedure

Overview

When considering facial rejuvenation for your midface, jawline, and neck, you might encounter terms like "midface lift" or "deep plane facelift." These terms, however, are simply details of the techniques surgeons use: not the results you can expect. Imagine them as an artist's brushstrokes – unique to the individual style each surgeon uses to create the desired outcome.

About Facial Surgery

Rhinoplasty

Beauty in Harmony

As the central facial feature, the size and shape of your nose can have a significant impact on your overall facial appearance and proportions. Rhinoplasty specialist Dr. Athré offers a full range of rhinoplasty procedures and advanced techniques to minimize recovery and deliver natural-looking, exquisite results. Refine your nasal contours and facial harmony while preserving your authentic look with Dr. Athré. Schedule your consultation to discuss the details of your personalized rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, or ethnic rhinoplasty in Houston.

Facial Fat Transfer

Restore Your Natural Volume

Fat transfer to the face is a rejuvenating procedure that uses excess fat from areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs to restore youthful facial volume and skin elasticity. Because facial fat transfer uses your own fat, it delivers permanent results with no need for re-injection later on. Using a liposuction process designed to harvest smaller fat droplets, Dr. Athre is able to inject fat into even the most delicate areas (such as the lips and tear trough) to enhance volume, plump skin, and refine lines and wrinkles with extreme precision.

About Fat Transfer

Facelift

Full Facial Refresh

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to lift, tighten, and contour the face to create a more youthful appearance. Double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Athré delivers superior facelift results and an experience that goes far beyond the offerings of other plastic surgeons with full facial rejuvenation under local anesthesia.

This procedure includes a deep plane facelift, brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), fat transfer, and lip rejuvenation within a single procedure without the need for general anesthesia.

About Facial Rejuvenation

Lip Lift

Injection-Free Lip Rejuvenation

A lip lift offers a subtle and naturally rejuvenated appearance by shortening the space between the nose and the upper lip, delivering a fuller appearance and diminishing signs of aging around the mouth. By subtly exposing more of the upper teeth, a lip lift delivers a younger-looking pout without fillers or other injections. Lip lifts can be tailored to eliminate wrinkles above the lip and correct downturned corners of the mouth. By enhancing your lip shape and reducing signs of aging, a lip lift can boost your confidence and overall satisfaction with your appearance.

About Lip Lift

Blepharoplasty

Youthfully Refined Eye Contours

Blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, can address both cosmetic and functional concerns around the eyes. It involves removing excess skin and fatty deposits that cause puffiness and drooping to reveal a more energized and youthful appearance. For patients whose upper eyelids obstruct their field of vision, blepharoplasty can remove excess tissue to restore or enhance peripheral sight. For the lower lids, blepharoplasty can eliminate wrinkles, undereye bags, and dark circles for a bright, refreshed look.

About Blepharoplasty

Brow Lift

Re-energize Your Look

A brow lift is a rejuvenating procedure that addresses signs of aging in the upper portion of the face, offering a younger appearance and a long-lasting confidence boost. By lifting sagging brows and tightening the skin on the forehead, a brow lift effectively reduces horizontal wrinkles to create a smooth and youthful look. While a brow lift offers significant benefits as a standalone procedure, it is often combined with other treatments, such as blepharoplasty, neck lift, and facelift surgeries, to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation in a single surgical procedure.

★★★★★ 5/5

"Loved my experience! From the front desk to the assistant to the doc, everyone was wonderful. I went for Botox and was asked to return for a follow-up in ten days to see if the formation that he did was good. I have never had someone ask to see me for a follow-up after Botox. It just seemed like he really cared. I went back for lip injections and LOVE them. First painless lip injection! You have to go in to find out how he does it!! So happy–I would recommend him to anyone!"

– JP W., Botox and lip fillers patient

★★★★★ 5/5

“Excellent experience all around! This was my first surgery of any kind, so I’ll admit to being apprehensive about having a rhinoplasty to straighten my nose (which I broke many years ago). Dr Athré and his staff came highly recommended, so I thought it would be worth looking into. From the very first consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. Dr. Athré made me feel very comfortable about the plan and process, and easily and patiently addressed all my questions and concerns. The surgery and recovery went smoothly and the results are better than I ever imagined they would be. It’s been one year since the surgery, and I’m still thrilled with how well everthing has gone, and the boost that it’s given to my self confidence. I would happily recommend Dr Athré and his staff to anyone! They are professionals who do high quality work and truly care about their patients, and will be my first choice for any needs my family has in the future.”

"I've got nothing but compliments. A lot of people don't notice because my eyes look normal now, like they should look without the heavy upper lids."

– Chris, blepharoplasty patient
★★★★★ 5/5

"If I could give more than five stars, I would! Dr. Athré did a rhinoplasty on me years ago with awesome results so when I decided to get a facelift and my eyelids done, there was no question who to choose for my doctor."

– Jamie B., rhinoplasty patient
★★★★★ 5/5

“When I was five months pregnant my nose was broken by my toddler. After researching plastic surgeons to have the large bend in it fixed, I was referred to Dr. Athré by an ENT and am so glad I chose him! I’ve had a first-class experience from start to finish and am extremely happy with my result. The recovery process was explained thoroughly and was exactly what I expected. I had such minimal pain, and was able to resume caring for my baby that same afternoon. Communication through the clinic and hospital was excellent. Beforehand, I had not considered rhinoplasty, but I think my nose is better than it was before! Very happy patient, I highly recommend him if you are considering facial surgery.”

— Lindsay R., rhinoplasty patient
★★★★★ 5/5

"I absolutely loved my experience here. I’m at that stage in my late-ish 30s where lines are starting to show, and I had a very stressful 18 months that were making me age prematurely. I came here for first-time Botox, and everyone was so warm and welcoming. The doctor explained everything to me, from what I needed, to what I would feel, to what to expect afterwards. The results were 10x better than I expected and look natural."

– Caz F., Botox patient

★★★★★ 5/5

"I had a facelift, necklift, upper blepharoplasty,fat grafting and a chemical peel performed by Dr. Athré. From the moment I met him, I knew he was the doctor for me. He is not only a doctor but an artist and perfectionist at what he does. My neck was the thing that bothered me the most. I have to say it looks amazing!!!"

– Robin G., facelift, neck lift, fat grafting, chemical peel and facial patient

Frequently Asked Questions

See below for facial plastic surgery FAQs.

What is plastic surgery?

Facial plastic surgery offers a multitude of benefits for individuals seeking to enhance their facial features and address concerns such as signs of aging, asymmetry, or congenital abnormalities. Through various procedures like facelifts, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and chin augmentation, facial plastic surgery aims to achieve natural-looking results that harmonize with the patient’s overall facial aesthetics. These procedures can target specific areas of the face, such as the forehead, eyes, nose, or chin, to restore youthfulness, balance proportions, and improve facial symmetry.

Who should get plastic surgery and what are the benefits?

Despite its transformative potential, it’s essential to acknowledge the limitations of facial plastic surgery.

While plastic surgery can produce significant improvements in appearance, it cannot entirely halt the aging process or prevent future changes. Additionally, plastic surgery requires careful consideration and consultation with a qualified surgeon to ensure realistic expectations and desired outcomes.

It’s crucial for patients to understand that facial plastic surgery is not a one-size-fits-all solution and that individual results may vary based on factors such as skin type, age, and overall health.

Nevertheless, for many individuals, facial plastic surgery can be a life-changing experience, offering newfound confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.

By harnessing the expertise of a skilled Houston facial plastic surgeon and innovative techniques, surgery continues to empower individuals to embrace their beauty and live life to the fullest.

What is the plastic surgery process?

The process of facial plastic surgery involves several key steps aimed at achieving desired aesthetic improvements while prioritizing patient safety and satisfaction.

Plastic surgery begins with a comprehensive consultation between the patient and the plastic surgery doctor, where specific goals and concerns are discussed in detail. During this initial phase, the plastic surgeon evaluates the patient’s facial anatomy, skin condition, and overall health to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Once a surgical approach is agreed upon, the plastic surgery procedure commences under carefully administered anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout. Throughout the surgical process, the plastic surgeon utilizes advanced techniques and specialized instruments to sculpt and refine facial contours, addressing areas of concern such as wrinkles, sagging skin, or asymmetry.
Following the completion of the procedure, meticulous attention is given to wound closure and dressing application to support optimal healing.
Post-operative care and follow-up appointments are then provided to monitor progress and address any concerns after the plastic surgery, ensuring that patients achieve the best possible outcomes from their facial plastic surgery experience.
