A brow lift is a long-lasting procedure that can effectively:

• Re-position a sagging brow that is hooding your eyelids
• Raise your eyebrows to a more youthful position
• Eliminate creases across your brow, between your eyes, and on the bridge of your nose
• Remove frown lines from in between your eyebrows

Using only proven, safe surgical techniques, our plastic surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery can use an endoscopic brow lift to take years off of your face and give you the youthful, alert appearance you deserve.

During an endoscopic facelift, the surgeon uses an endoscope (a tube with a camera attached to the end) to best see the area of treatment. Small incisions will be created in the hairline, and muscle and tissue will be adjusted to create a smoother, more youthful looking forehead. This procedure requires very minimal incisions, leaving virtually no visible scarring.

After brow lift surgery, patients will notice swelling, tenderness, and bruising in the treatment area. These side-effects should dissipate within a few weeks. Ice packs can be used to reduce any swelling. Some patients may feel a tight feeling across their forehead, though this is normal and will disappear with time. Patients can see final results as soon as six months after surgery.

Deep lines and wrinkles can impact every area of your life. From business meetings to intimate encounters, you need to feel confident in your appearance. An endoscopic brow lift at Star Plastic Surgery can help you regain self-assurance and feel your absolute best. Contact us today to learn more about the benefits of an endoscopic brow lift or to schedule a consultation.

An endoscopic brow lift, also known as a forehead lift is one of the most effective ways to restore a youthful, pleasing appearance to the area above your eyes. An endoscopic brow lift can remove both horizontal and vertical lines from your forehead and also raise your eyebrows into a more alert, youthful position.

Many people have no idea how much their forehead impacts the appearance of their entire face. Working closely with the board surgeons in our Novi, Michigan office, you can better determine how much this procedure can enhance your self-confidence and youthful appearance.

Candidates for endoscopic brow lifts are people who are unhappy with the appearance of their forehead and are in generally good health. An endoscopic brow lift is most suited for people with good skin elasticity and who do not smoke. Smoking lends itself to deep wrinkles and may impact the final results of your endoscopic brow lift.

The best way to determine if you are a candidate for an endoscopic brow lift is to schedule a consultation with a Star plastic surgeon.

Part of the Star Plastic Surgery Advantage is our doctors’ unique ability to view each patient as a unique individual. Many people come to us for an endoscopic brow lift alone, but others wish to correct several areas of concern. A brow lift can be combined with facial rejuvenation procedures including eyelid surgery or with nonsurgical procedures such as dermal fillers.

We will work closely with you to help you find the combination of procedures that will best meet all of your needs.

Nothing stops the aging process, but an endoscopic brow lift can produce a noticeably smoother and more youthful-looking forehead for several years. Some patients find a brow lift lasts for a lifetime, while others may consider additional procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic to help extend the results of their brow lift.

Everyone is different. The length of time your brow lift lasts will depend on your lifestyle choices and genetics.

The European Mini Facelift procedure is recommended for men and women of all ages. It is a great option for patients who are just beginning to show the first signs of facial aging. Because this method is less invasive than a full facelift, it is best used to treat minor age-related symptoms.

The European Mini Facelift provides a more extensive dissection of the skin and muscle than other mini-facelift methods, allowing better contouring of the facial muscles, which gives a more natural draping of the skin.

This surgical technique was perfected and proven in Europe and will last up to five times longer than other so-called mini facelift procedures.

A mini facelift is done as an outpatient procedure, so patients may return home the same day as surgery. Minor swelling and bruising may occur, and pain medication can be prescribed to ensure your comfort during recovery. Most patients are able to return to work in as early as one week. It is important to follow your facelift surgeon’s specific recovery instructions to ensure optimal results.

Star Plastic Surgery is considered one of the preeminent plastic surgical practices in the United States, and our patients come to us from around the world. Contact us today to discuss your goals and schedule a consultation to see if the European Mini Facelift is right for you.

Gravity, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can cause the muscles and tissue in your face to dry out, wrinkle, and sag over time. By removing excess fat and gently lifting the tissues and muscles in your face, our experienced plastic surgeons can use a facelift to address problems such as:

• A poorly defined jaw line
• “Turkey neck” or double chin
• Jowls
• Sagging skin
• Facial folds

It can take years for these types of problems to appear on your face. Likewise, it takes time to fully address all of them during a facelift surgery. Many surgeons perform facelifts, but only Star Plastic Surgery offers the Star Plastic Surgery Advantage.

A full facelift uses an incision that begins in the hairline near the temples, curves around the ear, and finishes in the lower scalp. During the procedure, facial fat may also be sculpted or redistributed, and underlying tissues repositioned. The deeper layers of the face and the muscles may also be lifted. Skin will then be repositioned and excess skin trimmed away. If desired, a second incision may also be made under the chin to improve signs of aging on the neck. All incisions are made as inconspicuously as possible.

Following full facelift surgery, a compression garment and wraps will need to be worn to reduce swelling. Patients should keep their head elevated as much as possible, and avoid bending forward. Mild to moderate bruising, swelling, and discomfort will occur, though pain medication can help. Patients should avoid driving for up to a week after surgery, and strenuous activities for two to six weeks. Although a facelift can turn back the hands of time, it does not stop the aging process; most facelift results last for about 10 years.

Our experienced surgeons are not interested in a quick, one-size-fits-all solution. We will work closely with you to ensure your procedure produces long-lasting, pleasing results that restore confidence and help you look as young as you feel.

If you are unhappy with the way your face has aged, contact us to schedule a facelift consultation with one of our dedicated plastic surgeons today.

A facelift surgery is the most effective way to reverse the signs of aging and restore a youthful and appealing look to your face. Your facial features can become obscured by the process of aging, leaving you with an appearance that diminishes self-confidence. With a facelift procedure, the muscles and tissue in your face can be gently lifted to redefine the natural contours and beauty of your face.

Good candidates for a facelift are unhappy with the appearance of their face and in generally good health. It is also important that you have sufficient bone structure to produce a defined and attractive appearance. However, if you have inadequate bone structure, a facelift can be combined with a procedure such as facial implants to produce a fuller, more youthful appearance.

The best way to determine candidacy for facelift surgery is to schedule a free consultation with one of the plastic surgeons at our office. During your consultation, one of our surgeons will carefully evaluate your facial structure to help determine if a facelift is right for you.

There are several techniques that can be used for a facelift. Some techniques are new and the long-term results they produce are unknown. The Star Plastic Surgery Advantage guarantees that the technique we use for your facelift is proven safe and effective. We have found the European facelift method produces much better results with substantially less scarring.

A facelift can take years off of your face but cannot prevent the aging process. Lifestyle choices, like smoking, will impact the length of time your facelift lasts. Limiting sun exposure and taking time to clean and moisturize your face every day will also have an impact. The European facelift method utilized by our board certified plastic surgeons produces results that last years beyond mini-facelifts and nonsurgical facelifts.

The surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery have years of experience in providing exceptional facelift results. We strive to give you a look that is natural and appealing, taking time to ensure your facelift is performed correctly and precisely contoured to your facial structure.

If you have additional questions about facelifts, contact the experienced surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery today to schedule your consultation.

Patients may want to consider facial implants if they have a weak chin and wish to improve their jawline, they wish to enhance the definition of their cheeks, or they want to restore and correct facial proportions that have changed with age. Facial implants can also correct facial deformities caused by injury or congenital conditions.

Facial implants are FDA approved plates that are placed on top of the bones in problem areas on your face. Customized for each patient, facial implants provide optimal contour and shape to:

• Cheeks – Cheek implants can provide a defined, higher cheek profile. If you suffer from uneven or unattractive cheeks, this implant option can greatly improve the overall appearance of your face.
• Chin – Chin implants can produce a more pronounced chin which accentuates the entire lower half of your face. By bringing shape and definition to your chin, chin implants can provide a fuller, more contoured appearance.
• Jaw – Jaw implants are inserted along your jawline to enhance the definition of your profile. Many patients have jaws that detract from the other features on their face. With jaw implants, you can bring your jaw into ideal proportion with the rest of your facial features.

Some patients combine facial implants with procedures such as rhinoplasty to dramatically change the shape and size of their entire face. Quality patient care is a part of the Star Plastic Surgery Advantage. When you come to us for your free facial implant consultation, we will help you determine what procedures will best provide you with the most appealing results.

Patients will experience bruising and swelling for up to two days following facial implant surgery. Cold compresses can be used to reduce swelling, and pain medication can be used to reduce discomfort. It is recommended that patients recline in a face-up position for at least one week when lying down. Vigorous physical activity can usually be resumed after six weeks.

Patients of all ages who are unhappy with the appearance of their ears are often good candidates for ear pinning. Sometimes, individuals are born with overly large ears, ears that are oddly placed, or have ears that stick out prominently, which can affect self-esteem. Ear pinning can help to correct these issues.

Otoplasty, also known as “ear pinning” is not a complex surgical procedure but it requires the skilled hands of an experienced plastic surgeon to provide optimal results. Depending on the size and shape of your ears, we may suggest either a reshaping of the cartilage or an ear reduction procedure.

Through reshaping the cartilage, one of our plastic surgeons can provide you with a look that is balanced to your other facial features. Ear reduction surgery reshapes the cartilage but also removes excess skin from around the ear and ear lobe to reduce the appearance of excessively large ears.

These methods are proven safe and effective for adults and children alike. Children in particular experience teasing and name calling due to large ears. Ear surgery can be performed on children beginning at six years of age to help eliminate the negative impact an awkward appearance can have on their self-esteem.

Patients will have dressing wrapped around their ears after surgery. After some time, your surgeon will remove these bandaged for lighter dressings. It is important to keep these dressings in place as the ears heal to ensure proper outcomes. It is recommended that patients keep their head elevated during recovery, and do not rest on the ears, as this can cause discomfort. Results are generally long-lasting for a happier you!

Although ear surgery is a safe procedure with very few potential complications, we perform the procedure in our accredited center to ensure your absolute safety. Our devotion to quality patient care means one of our surgeons will work with you from your initial consultation through your full recovery to make sure the end result of your otoplasty provide symmetry and beauty for a lifetime.

If you are interested in otoplasty, ear reduction surgery, or other ear surgery options, contact us to schedule a free otoplasty consultation today.

The size and shape of your nose can have a dramatic impact on all of your facial features. Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include:

• People born with a nose that is out of balance with their facial features
• People born with a deformed or unappealing nose
• People who have suffered trauma that has reshaped their nose
• People who have experienced a change in the shape of their nose due to aging
• People who experience difficulties breathing due to closed nasal passages

No matter what your reason, if you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, rhinoplasty may be an ideal choice for you.

When you come to Star Plastic Surgery for a rhinoplasty consultation, one of our skilled plastic surgeons will carefully assess all of your facial features to help determine what size and shape nose will most compliment your facial features. Listening closely to your desires and working with you on an individual basis, we can help provide you with renewed self-confidence and aesthetic perfection.

The experienced plastic surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery offer you our exclusive Star Plastic Surgery Advantage. All of our surgeons are board certified and use proven techniques. We have found that most of our patients benefit from a closed rhinoplasty in which the incisions are placed inside of the nostrils which eliminates the need for sutures and provides a scar-free result.

Whether you require a closed or open rhinoplasty, your procedure will be performed in our accredited surgical center where your safety is a top priority. Devoted to all of our patients, our quality patient care ensures that you are taken care of from the moment you walk into our office until you have fully recovered from your procedure.

After nose surgery, patients will have to wear a nasal splint to support the nose while it heals. Swelling a bruising may occur, and the face may appear puffy. Cold compresses can help to minimize this swelling. It is advised that you keep your head elevated for the first few days after surgery. Pain medication can be prescribed to help lessen any discomfort. Most patients can return to work and exercise within three weeks.

If you are unhappy with the size and shape of your nose contact us to schedule your rhinoplasty consultation today.

Nose surgery or rhinoplasty can dramatically improve the appearance of your nose. Nose surgery is an ideal way to correct issues such as:

• Overly large or small nose
• Asymmetrical nose
• Wide nose
• Crooked or miss-shaped nose
• Bulbous nose
• Upturned nose
• Droopy nose

At Star Plastic Surgery, we will customize your nose job to bring your nose into ideal alignment with the rest of your face.

For examples of what a nose job can accomplish, visit our before and after gallery.

Rhinoplasty is a reconstructive procedure that alters the appearance of your nose forever. Barring trauma or injury, your nose job should produce a more attractive, appealing nose for a lifetime.

Far from interfering with the function of your nose, a nose job can actually improve nasal capacity. By perfecting structural issues with your nose, a nose job can open nasal passages, and make breathing more comfortable.

If you are unhappy with the size and shape of your nose, you are an ideal candidate for nose surgery. Part of the Star Plastic Surgery Advantage is our dedication to providing each patient with personalized and highly attentive care. During your initial consultation with one of our Detroit area plastic surgeons, we will help you determine if a nose job is right for you.

Patients who feel that their buttocks are not proportionate to their body and desire a more curved backside can often benefit from this procedure. A Brazilian butt lift is a great option for patients who wish to obtain a curvier, more proportionate body silhouette without buttock implants.

Starting with liposuction, a Brazilian butt lift removes excess fat from areas including the top of your buttock, thighs, and stomach. Alone, this can provide a more contoured, attractive appearance, but when used for buttock augmentation, that fat is then transferred to your buttock to provide volume and enhance the appearance of your backside.

Fat harvested from your body has a much higher absorption rate that implants or artificial injectable, giving you a natural look without the complications associated with other methods of buttock augmentation. Our surgeons take great care to inject your fat into specific areas to give you the firm, rounded appearance you need to restore your backside to its most optimal, attractive state.

Following a Brazilian butt lift, patients will need to wear a support garment for two to three weeks after surgery to reduce swelling. Any discomfort can be controlled with prescribed pain medication. Final results are often seen about three months after surgery. Follow your surgeon’s specific recovery instructions to ensure desired results.

Your buttocks lift or augmentation at Star Plastic Surgery comes with the Star Plastic Surgery Advantage:

• Your surgery will be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon
• Your surgery will be performed in our accredited surgical facility
• Our surgeons will perform your buttock augmentation using proven, safe techniques
• We are entirely devoted to quality patient care

Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. From your first consultation through complete recovery, our surgeons and staff will be here for you to make sure you are comfortable and pleased with your results.

A Brazilian butt lift is a proven method of buttock augmentation that provides a “perky”, sensual lower body profile. Using fat transferred from other parts of your body, a Brazilian butt lift is effective in both accentuating your buttock and providing contour to your entire lower half.

The injectable used in a Brazilian butt lift is harvested from your body which has the dual benefit of eliminating excess fat from areas such as your stomach and thighs, and being more readily accepted by your body. Implants are better suited for people who have very little body fat in these areas, but run the risk of being rejected by their bodies, resulting in complications.

When you come to our Novi, Michigan office for a free buttock augmentation consultation, one of our plastic surgeons will assess your entire frame to determine what method of augmentation will best meet your needs.

When performed correctly, injections of your own body fat can provide exceptional results for several years. Your lifestyle choices will impact the longevity of any plastic surgery procedure. Excessive weight gain or an inactive lifestyle can reduce the aesthetic results of a butt lift. Making sure you get sufficient exercise can help your results last longer.

Excess fat is taken from areas including your abdomen, the area above your buttock, your lower back, and thighs with liposuction. This fat is then sterilized and processed into a solution that can be injected into specifically targeted areas in your buttock. Using your own fat allows our surgeons to provide a uniform, smooth, and natural appearance to your backside.

Several Detroit area doctors offer Brazilian butt lifts, but only we offer our patients the Star Plastic Surgery Advantage. When you come to us for buttock augmentation, you are guaranteed a safe procedure performed in an accredited surgical center or area hospital by a plastic surgeon. Our surgeons have years of experience in providing exceptionally pleasing results, and are entirely dedicated to the satisfaction of every patient we see.

If you have additional questions about Brazilian butt lifts, contact the experienced board certified surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery today to schedule your consultation.

Candidates should be at a stable, healthy weight. They should also be non-smokers, and relatively healthy, without medical conditions that could impair healing. A consultation with one of our surgeons can help identify if this procedure if right for you.

The particulars of your procedure depend on individual needs. Removal of excess fat with liposuction allows our surgeons to firm and tighten the remaining skin to the muscles of the arm. Incision size and amount of skin removed will match patient body type.

After surgery, patients will wear elastic bandages to minimize swelling during recovery. With some patients drains may be necessary to correct excess fluids. Initial results will continue to improve over time as swelling subsides. It is important to follow your surgeon’s specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal recovery.

Over the years, our plastic surgeons have performed thousands of arm lifts but still view each patient as a unique individual. When you come to Star Plastic Surgery for your free arm lift consultation, we will assess your entire frame to ensure the method most suited to produce optimal results.

The Star Plastic Surgery Advantage guarantees that only proven, safe techniques are used during your procedure. Your arm lift will be performed at our accredited surgical center by one of our board certified plastic surgeons to help ensure your safety and comfort. From your initial consultation through your complete recovery, our surgeons and staff will work closely with you to make sure you are satisfied with your results.

Aging can cause a toll on bodies, including the thighs. If you are experiencing the effects of sagging skin, cellulite, or loose tissue, you may benefit from this procedure. It can also benefit those who have lost a large amount of weight who wish to obtain toned thighs, or those whose clothes do not fit properly due to heavy thighs. A consultation with one of our board certified plastic surgeons can help to determine which type of procedure is right for you.

Patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their thighs may benefit from these procedures:

Inner Thigh Liposuction

At our practice, we perform tumescent liposuction to the thighs for effective results. There is minimal scarring, minimal downtime, and a drastic improvement to the silhouette.

Inner Thigh Lift

This option can benefit individuals with excess loose skin or fat in the upper thighs. This procedure is done by creating an incision stretching from the back of the mid-thigh to the front, creating a crescent shape. This allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat, for a slimmer thigh appearance. Any scarring can generally be hidden beneath clothing.

Extended Inner Thigh Lift

Patients who have extremely loose skin, muscles, and fat on their thighs can often benefit from an this lift. The procedure is an extended version of the inner thigh lift, removing significantly more excess fat and skin. Scars are often T-shaped or L-shaped rather than crescent-shaped, but can still commonly be concealed with clothing.

Following a thigh lift, patients will experience bruising, swelling, and soreness. Prescribed pain medication can help to relieve any discomfort. It is important to follow your surgeon’s specific recovery instructions to ensure optimal outcomes. During the first two weeks, patients should stick to light activities. Driving and walking for exercise can be resumed after two or three weeks. Patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle should see long-lasting results.
