Services
Cheek Lift
The M.I. Cheek Lift addresses sagging cheeks and volume loss through small incisions hidden near the ears. By tightening deep tissue and removing excess skin, this procedure restores a youthful contour. Ideal for patients seeking subtle yet noticeable facial rejuvenation without extensive surgery.
Submentoplasty
This minimally invasive neck lift targets excess skin and muscle bands under the chin. By repositioning tissue and removing skin laxity, it creates a defined jawline. Particularly effective for men and women experiencing early signs of neck aging without requiring full neck surgery.
Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat from upper or lower lids to combat tired, aged appearances. Both functional and cosmetic, this procedure enhances vision while rejuvenating facial aesthetics. Patients achieve refreshed, alert looks with minimal scarring.
Facial Liposuction
Targeting small fat deposits in the face and neck, this procedure uses micro-cannulas for precise contouring. Performed under local anesthesia, it effectively sculpts the submental area and lower face. Ideal for patients with mild to moderate fat accumulation seeking non-surgical alternatives.
Fat Transplantation
This procedure transfers harvested fat from one body area to another for natural augmentation. Commonly used for facial plumping or hand rejuvenation, it offers dual benefits of fat reduction and volume enhancement. Results are long-lasting as transplanted fat integrates with surrounding tissue.
