Face

Your face is the first way others see you. If you are feeling self-conscious about your nose, we can help you feel confident in your profile.

Rhinoplasty improves facial balance, nasal proportion, and in some cases, breathing. Dr. Apesos performs rhinoplasty with an emphasis on subtle refinement and structural integrity, creating results that appear natural and age gracefully. Minor refinement may be achieved with nonsurgical options such as dermal fillers.

In cases where significant functional issues restrict breathing, Dr. Apesos may refer patients to an ENT specialist to explore insurance-covered treatment options.

Have you ever woken up and looked in the mirror and thought, “Who is that?” When facial aging no longer matches how young and energetic you feel inside, it can be frustrating.

A facelift restores natural contours and softens the effects of time. Procedures range from mini lifts to comprehensive rejuvenation. Facelift incisions are carefully placed along the natural contours of the ears and along the hairline. Over time, the scars are almost impossible to detect.

Loss of facial volume can subtly change how others perceive you—and how you see yourself. Plump cheeks are synonymous with youth.

Cheek augmentation can restore structure and softness, helping the face look naturally refreshed rather than altered. Cheek enhancement restores midface volume and balance, improving facial harmony and youthful contours. Implants offer a permanent solution to restoring volume. Fillers provide immediate results and no downtime.

The neck can reveal aging earlier than the face, sometimes creating a disconnect in appearance.

Neck lift surgery tightens loose skin and restores jawline definition for a smoother, more youthful profile. Liposuction can remove excess fat as a standalone procedure in patients with good skin integrity. Non-surgical options to improve the neck include Kybella injections to dissolve fat and Botox injections to improve the appearance of vertical platysma bands and create a mild lifting effect.

Heavy or aging eyelids can make you look tired even when you feel vibrant.

Blepharoplasty refreshes the eyes by removing excess skin and addressing puffiness by repositioning or removing underlying fatty tissue while maintaining natural shape and expression. Upper eyelid surgery focuses on sagging skin and fat on the upper lid, which may create a tired appearance. Lower eyelid surgery addresses puffiness, bags, and redundant skin beneath the eyes. Some patients require both procedures for full rejuvenation. Eyelid surgery can be combined with other procedures,s including a brow lift or facelift. When upper eyelid drooping interferes with vision, surgery becomes medically necessary, and patients may be referred to an insurance-accepting surgeon.

A drooping brow can make you appear tired, angry, or worried—even when you’re not. A brow lift can restore openness and ease to the upper face, helping your expressions match your emotions.

A brow lift elevates heavy or low-set brows and softens forehead lines, restoring a rested and youthful appearance. In some cases, the forehead may be reduced to improve a receding hairline or to create more balanced facial harmony. Botox injections are a nonsurgical option to address many of the same concerns.

A recessed or underdefined chin can affect facial balance and self-confidence. Chin augmentation creates proportion and harmony.

Chin surgery enhances facial proportions by correcting a weak or recessed chin structure with a silicone implant. It may be combined with other facial procedures. Dermal fillers are another option for immediate results without surgery.

Ear surgery can have a positive effect on self-esteem and self-image. For children who are at risk for teasing and bullying, the procedure can be life-changing.

Ear surgery reshapes prominent or asymmetrical ears for improved balance and confidence. Suitable for children over 5 years of age, teens, and adults. Otoplasty can also address a stretched or split earlobe that resulted from aging, trauma, or body modification. The procedure is done under local anesthesia. After healing, patients can return to the office to re-pierce the ears if desired.

As lips lengthen with age, the face can lose balance and softness. Restore your youthful lips.

A lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and lip to restore youthful proportion and enhance the natural shape of the lips without added volume.

Fillers and a Botox “Lip Flip” are nonsurgical options that can restore youthful lip contours with little downtime.

Living with the lasting effects of a cleft lip can affect confidence, function, and daily interactions.

Adult cleft lip repair addresses functional or aesthetic concerns that persist from childhood or from prior surgical repair. Patients may seek revision to improve appearance, speech, or comfort. As the former director of the Cleft Lip and Craniofacial Clinics of the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton, Ohio, Dr. Apesos has performed thousands of cleft lip repair surgeries as well as many adult revision surgeries.

Did you have plastic surgery, and the results were just not right? Did a plastic surgeon fail to meet your expectations? There is hope. Plastic surgery can be revised and improved. Dr. Apesos knows what is possible with surgical revisions.

Dr. Apesos has decades of experience in revising prior surgical procedures, from minor tweaks to major reconstruction. Due to adhesions, scar tissue, and anatomical changes, secondary surgeries can be highly complex and require the skills and demonstrated competence of a board-certified plastic surgeon. Whether you are looking to address complications, refine outcomes, restore function, or accommodate changing aesthetic goals, we can create a customized plan focused on safety, balance, and realistic expectations.
