Frederick Lukash, M.D.
is able to enhance
or refine areas of the face and neck for both women and men using surgical procedures and chemical
treatments. Adjustments can also be made for congenital
deformities (birth defects) and abnormalities resulting from accidents
or
disease.
Facelift
(Rhytidectomy)
Over time, the long-term effects of
gravity, exposure to sun, dry air, and general stress takes its toll on
an individual's face and neckline. Jowls can develop under the
jawline with folds and fat deposits. Sometimes creases begin to
form between the nose and the mouth.
A facelift can considerably reduce these
signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles,
and redraping the skin around the neck and face. Facelifts can be
done alone, or frequently performed in conjunction with another procedure
such as a browlift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. If your
problem areas are limited to the neck, a more conservative procedure,
known as a "necklift" will be recommended. In some cases,
a facelift can reduce the outward signs of aging by ten or fifteen years.

Neck Lift
Eyelid
Surgery
(Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is
designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower
eyelids. The procedure can correct drooping upper lids that tend
to sag with time and the puffy bags below the eyes.
The procedure
usually takes about 1 hour and can be performed in the office using
local anesthesia. Stitches can be removed after three or four
days. Blepharoplasty can be done as a single procedure, or in
conjunction with other facial surgery such as a facelift or a browlift.

surgery please contact our office.
Browlift
(Foreheadlift)
A forehead lift or "browlift"
is used to correct a drooping browline (eyebrow area) reducing the
horizontal lines and furrows (worry lines) that often make a person
appear angry, sad or tired. The procedure creates a refreshed,
youthful appearance to the forehead area above the eyes.
When performing a forehead lift
procedure, muscles and tissue areas that droop or cause creases are
removed or corrected to smooth the skin on the forehead to reduce frown
lines and raise the eyebrows. There are two surgical methods, and
during your initial consultation the procedure that works best for you
will be recommended. The first is the most conventional method
where a surgical incision is hidden just above the hairline.
Browlifts are also performed using an endoscope which enables the
procedure to be performed with a minimal number of incisions.
While the traditional method can sometimes attain more lift, both
methods create smoother, flatter skin on the forehead.

Nasal Reconstruction
Surgery
of the Nose
(Rhinoplasty)
Surgery to reshape the nose, (rhinoplasty)
is among the most common plastic surgery procedures. This
procedure can reduce or increase the size of the nose, remove an
unwanted hump, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the
width of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and the
upper lip. The procedure is also used to correct problems
resulting from injury and can help relieve certain breathing
difficulties.
