Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid surgery is performed on men and women of all ages who want to improve their self-image. Upper eyelid surgery can remove excess skin that hides the natural fold of the upper eyelids, loose skin that hangs down from the upper eyelids, and puffiness that creates a tired look. Lower eyelid surgery can remove excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelids and puffy “bags” and in some case, minimize dark circles.
Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Alteration or reconstruction of the nose is the most delicate procedure on the face and is an art. Different basic structures and individual problems need special attention to analyze and select the appropriate method for each person. Each problem must be solved using the proper procedure to make or return the nose to a normal and functioning nose.
Face Lift
When people approach 40 years of age, their skin and the supportive structure below begin to relax and descend. Wrinkles are noticeable in many areas of the external appearance, such as the sagging of the face and neck skin. Many structures will begin to droop, such as the eyelids, nose, eyebrows, cheeks and the angle of the mouth.
Peeling agents or some of the latest technologically advanced lasers can be used to improve fine wrinkles, but severe cases must be corrected with a surgical “facelift”. With special care and a meticulous surgical operation you can have a younger looking face with minimal scarring. Dr. Merkel can evaluate your face to see if a combination of non-invasive procedures and surgical procedures can give you that rested, youthful look you desire.
Correction of Prominent Ear (Otoplasty)
Prominent ears are caused by abnormal enlargement of the cartilage of the ear pinna. The procedure to correct this is to operate directly on the cartilage, which yields permanent results. The surgery is performed in the groove behind the ear.
