Facial Plastic Surgery in La Jolla, San Diego by Dr. Singer

Men and women we consider to be especially attractive do not necessarily have perfect facial features. More often, they appeal to us because their eyes, nose, cheeks, chin, and lips are in harmony and balance. The nose is in proper relationship to the eyes and chin. The cheek bones have an appropriately strong definition in relationship to the length of the face and the size of the nose.

Few of us are fortunate enough to be born with these ideally proportioned facial features. Nature’s omission, however, can be rectified by aesthetic plastic surgery. Dr. Robert Singer customizes each procedure to the patient’s needs and desires, and uses minimally invasive facial plastic surgery techniques whenever possible. At his La Jolla center in San Diego, he has performed modern facial plastic surgery procedures on several thousand patients from the San Diego area and around the world. He can create stunning results through the procedures listed below.

Facelift - Mid Facelift and Minimally Invasive Facelift Options

A facelift (rhytidectomy) is one of the most sought-after and satisfying aesthetic surgical procedures available. It can remove many, but usually not all, wrinkles. It can also remove much of the sagging skin of the face and neck. Excess fat can be removed or sculpted as needed. The facelift will give you a fresher, more youthful appearance that looks completely natural, avoiding an over-operated appearance. Dr. Singer performs several variations on the facelift procedure, including the short scar technique, limited incision facelift, mid facelift, MACS Lifts, and partial facelift. As a leader in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Singer can help you decide which technique is right for you.

Buccal Fat Removal / Cheek Reduction

The Singer Surgical Centre offers buccal fat removal, also called cheek reduction surgery, as a solution for those who want to reduce the size of their cheeks. Removal of these fat pads can slim the cheeks and contour the face. This can help people achieve a more chiseled and defined look.

Forehead / Brow Lift

A forehead, or brow, lift is performed to reduce the appearance of deep forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyes, lines over the nose, and/or wrinkled, sagging upper eyelids. It is typically performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to rejuvenate the entire eye area.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

The eyes are perhaps our most expressive feature, and when the eyelids are baggy and the eyebrows droop, it can give your expression a tired or angry look. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is a facial plastic surgery procedure that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin around the eyes to produce a rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Singer often performs eyelid surgery along with a forehead / brow lift procedure for optimal results.

Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

No other aesthetic surgical procedure today has achieved wider acceptance than rhinoplasty, or the reshaping of the nose. It is an especially satisfying facial plastic surgery procedure that can be performed at any time after the middle teenage years. Desire and overall health, not age, are the determining factors for whether or not someone is a good candidate for nose surgery. The object of rhinoplasty is to create a nose that is in harmony with the other facial features while maintaining a natural appearance.

Neck Lift

As we age, the muscles and skin of the neck begin to sag and lose definition. Jowls droop as skin and muscles loosen, while fat deposits along the jaw line and under the chin create fullness, or a double chin. Dr. Singer offers several variations of the neck lift procedure to improve the appearance of this area, which can be performed alone or in combination with a facelift or another facial plastic surgery procedure.

Lip Enhancement

As we age, the lips lose their fullness. The distance from the tip of the nose to the upper lip lengthens as gravity makes the upper lip descend. If you have always wanted fuller, lusher lips, or wish that your once full lips were still that way, there is an increasing assortment of procedures that can give almost any woman more sensuous lips.

Lip lift, also known as lip augmentation, will increase the fullness of the lips, which creates a more attractive contour and appearance of youthfulness. The Singer Surgical Centre offers a variety of techniques and procedures that can enlarge, reshape, or otherwise help improve asymmetrical or uneven lips, including:

Some of these treatments produce permanent results while others are temporary. Dr. Singer will discuss the various options, advantages, and disadvantages of each procedure with you and then develop an individualized approach to your treatment — one based on your specific anatomy and aesthetic desires. The results can be dramatic while looking natural. He often performs a minimally invasive procedure, such as lip enhancement, along with another facial plastic surgery procedure, such as facelift, for an overall rejuvenated result.

Injectable Treatments: Facial Fillers, BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Microfat Grafts

Injectable facial fillers are semi-liquid materials that are injected to fill out the lips and other areas of the face to provide a cosmetic improvement. The procedure is repeatable in order to maintain results, carries little risk of problems, and may create long-lasting results, depending on your individual anatomy and the material being used. In addition to creating fuller, lusher lips, fillers can be used to fill out sunken areas of your face and provide definition to your cheeks and chin. In addition to fillers, Dr. Singer also offers BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®, as well as fat injections (microfat grafts), for the improvement of facial wrinkles.

In order to provide the highest level of patient care and safety, Dr. Singer personally performs the injections, rather than relegating them to other staff members

Chin and Cheek Augmentation

Both chin and cheek augmentation create a new, natural look that is in harmony with other features. A weak or recessive chin can be improved with an implant or microfat grafts. Similarly, malar augmentation can enhance flat cheeks. Chin and cheek augmentation can also be performed in conjunction with other facial plastic surgery procedures for a comprehensive enhancement.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Excessively large or protruding ears are often a source of ridicule, teasing, and embarrassment. Aesthetic ear surgery, called otoplasty, can reshape the "outstanding" ear, by altering its size, position, or configuration. The improvement, which lasts a lifetime, usually results in one feeling less self-conscious about one's appearance.

Timing is always an important consideration. Undergoing the procedure at a young age has two benefits: the cartilage is extremely pliable, allowing greater ease of shaping, and the young patient will experience the psychological benefits of the cosmetic improvement for their entire lifetime. Otoplasty may be performed on adults or children anytime after the ear has achieved its nearly normal adult size, which is usually after five years of age.
