At the Advanced Plastic Surgery Center, our plastic surgeons are specialists in facial procedures and are at the forefront of the latest surgical and non-surgical techniques. When a patient is evaluated for facial rejuvenation, special attention is focused on the forehead, eyes, mid-face, mouth, and neck areas. Cosmetic procedures such as a face lift, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery produce dramatic results. Serving Newark and Wilmington, Delaware and Elkton, Maryland, our physicians can help patients achieve their individual goals.
A face lift is a surgical procedure that is known to produce dramatic effects. It reverses signs of aging by smoothing and tightening skin on the face and underlying muscles. If you are interested in a face lift, an experienced surgeon at our Newark, Delaware practice will discuss any expectations and concerns you may have about the procedure during your initial consultation. Your surgeon will also educate you on various treatment options and help you formulate reasonable expectations for surgery. Together, you and your surgeon will devise the right treatment plan for you.
During the face lift procedure, incisions are made in areas beside the hairline and ears so that scars are barely visible. Next, excess fat and skin are removed from the face to tighten and improve the patient's facial contours and reduce sagging and bag lines. Then the skin is repositioned and closed up before being wrapped in bandages. Healing takes several weeks.
Patients look younger and more refreshed after face lift surgery. Your surgeon may suggest other procedures in combination with a face lift in order to attain your desired cosmetic goals. A neck lift is often performed with face lift surgery; eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, or a variety of non-surgical procedures can be performed in combination as well. To schedule a complimentary consultation for a face lift procedure, contact a surgeon at our Newark, Delaware practice today.
When the delicate skin around the eyes becomes baggy or droops, it can make us look more tired than we actually feel. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, at our Newark practice near Elkton, Maryland can remedy this situation and make individuals look younger and more refreshed. Patients interested in eyelid surgery will meet with one of our surgeons for an initial consultation. At the consultation, your surgeon will help you create realistic expectations for surgery and help you determine your best options for treatment. Your surgeon will also address any questions or concerns you may have regarding treatment.
During eyelid surgery, excess eyelid skin and fat are removed and the eyelid area is smoothed, creating a more vibrant, alert expression. Both upper and lower eyelids may benefit from eyelid surgery. The procedure may be performed under local anesthesia with sedation and – when it is a stand-alone procedure – on an outpatient basis. Bruising and swelling will last for approximately one week, becoming progressively minimal.
Results from eyelid surgery generally last for years, enabling patients to enjoy a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Patients can combine eyelid surgery with other facial procedures offered at our practice located near Elkton, Maryland, such as a brow lift, face lift, neck lift, or even BOTOX® Cosmetic and Restylane® injections.

Nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, is a procedure that reshapes the nose when a patient desires a different, improved contour. Bumps in the nasal bridge can be removed, and the nostrils can be narrowed. Patients interested in rhinoplasty surgery will meet with a surgeon at our practice near Wilmington, Delaware for an initial consultation. Together, you and your surgeon will discuss your desired nose shape and evaluate your facial structure. Because the nose is a prominent, central facial feature, balance is important. Your bone structure, facial shape, and age are all factors that will be discussed during the surgical consultation.
During the rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon makes incisions to the inside of the nostril to minimize external scarring. Next, bone and cartilage is added or removed for better nose shape and support. After the nose has been redesigned, the incision is closed and a splint is applied, enabling the nose to keep its shape during the healing process. Rhinoplasty may be conducted on an outpatient basis and the surgery generally lasts two hours. Patients most often resume their normal activities in seven to 10 days after rhinoplasty surgery.
Rhinoplasty helps bring more balance to a person's face, as well as improve functionality of the nose for patients with breathing problems or birth defects. Contact our practice near Wilmington, Delaware to learn about how you can benefit from rhinoplasty surgery.
As we age, wrinkles and frown lines appear across our foreheads, and our eyebrows often droop downward. A brow lift is a surgical procedure that can greatly reduce these signs of aging. During the procedure, a surgeon gently lifts the skin and underlying muscles of the forehead, creating a smoother, more youthful expression. A brow lift may be performed under local or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Patients can combine a brow lift with other facial plastic surgery procedures, such as a face lift, rhinoplasty, or eyelid surgery, offered at our Newark practice near Wilmington, Delaware and Elkton, Maryland.
An endoscopic brow lift is an innovative procedure during which a camera (the "endoscope") is used to help the surgeon in repositioning the forehead muscles. This technique requires small incisions and produces minimal scarring. An endoscopic brow lift is most often completed in two hours, under general or local anesthesia. Any bruising and swelling is kept to a minimum, and the patient will be able to resume normal activity in seven to 10 days. Contact our practice to learn more about the benefits of our endoscopic brow lift procedure.
Signs of aging in the neck area are common among older individuals. The skin of the neck is often one of the first places to show age when the neck muscles slacken, fat accumulates, and the skin loses its elasticity. A neck lift can tighten and smooth this area, and may be performed in conjunction with liposuction to remove excess fat. The addition of liposuction to a neck lift procedure will give the patient longer-lasting results. A neck lift is an outpatient procedure, and recovery time will depend on whether the neck lift is performed by itself or together with liposuction or another procedure, such as eyelid surgery, face lift, or rhinoplasty.
Laser resurfacing can improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, scars, and uneven pigmentation. Many types of patients are candidates for laser resurfacing – those with skin that is sun-damaged; those who have "crow's feet" around their eyes, or vertical lines around their mouth. Patients who have blotchy skin, brown patches, or precancerous growths, as well as patients who have scars from acne or chicken pox, are also good candidates for laser resurfacing. The Advanced Plastic Surgery Center offers state-of-the-art laser resurfacing methods. Results are dramatic and noticeable after only a few days. Patients with deeper resurfacing procedures may require a longer recovery time. Complete and deep resurfacing may require two to three weeks before a patient will be able to resume his or her regular activities.
