Facelift Surgery
Dr. Shire's innovative facelift technique combines liposuction with hairline preservation to achieve natural results. This method minimizes bruising, avoids visible scarring, and ensures quick recovery while maintaining facial symmetry and ear aesthetics. Patients experience rejuvenated appearance with minimal downtime through advanced surgical approaches.
Rhinoplasty
Specializing in sculptural rhinoplasty, Dr. Shire creates facial harmony through customized nose reshaping. Procedures address both aesthetic concerns and functional breathing issues using minimally invasive techniques. Patients receive personalized consultations to determine optimal surgical approaches for structural balance and natural outcomes.
Blepharoplasty
Upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures address drooping eyelids and under-eye bags for a refreshed appearance. These surgeries can be performed separately or together, with careful attention to maintaining natural eye aesthetics. Patients achieve youthful, alert-looking eyes through precise tissue repositioning and fat removal.
Non-Invasive Facelift
Advanced non-surgical treatments like EmbraceRF and DAXXIFY provide wrinkle reduction and skin tightening. These procedures use radiofrequency and neuromodulators to achieve facial contouring without incisions. Patients benefit from minimal downtime while addressing early signs of aging through customized treatment plans.
Deep Chemical Peels
Phenol-croton oil peels deliver significant skin renewal for deep wrinkles and pigmentation. Dr. Shire personally performs these gold-standard treatments, tailoring peel strength to individual skin types. Patients experience 25-30% facial skin tightening and improved texture through this expertly administered resurfacing technique.

Questions
What does a facial plastic surgeon do?
Facial plastic surgeons specialize in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, neck, and ears. Dr. Shire performs rhinoplasty, facelifts, eyelid surgery, and non-invasive treatments to enhance facial aesthetics and function.
How much does facial plastic surgery cost?
Costs range from $10,000 to $40,000 depending on procedure complexity. Factors include surgical techniques, facility fees, and post-operative care. Consultation provides personalized cost breakdowns and financing options.
What is the best age for a facelift?
Ideal candidates are typically aged 40-70 with visible aging signs but sufficient skin elasticity. Younger patients may benefit from non-surgical alternatives while older patients achieve significant rejuvenation through tailored surgical approaches.
Is blepharoplasty major surgery?
While common, eyelid surgery requires precision due to eye proximity. Dr. Shire's expertise minimizes risks through careful technique selection and comprehensive post-operative care, ensuring safe, effective outcomes for facial rejuvenation.
How long do rhinoplasty results last?
Rhinoplasty results are permanent, with structural changes lasting a lifetime. Initial swelling subsides in 3-4 months, with final results visible after 12 months. Proper healing ensures lasting aesthetic and functional improvements.
What non-surgical options are available?
BOTOX, dermal fillers, EmbraceRF, and chemical peels offer non-invasive rejuvenation. These treatments address wrinkles, volume loss, and skin texture concerns with minimal downtime, providing gradual, natural-looking results.
