Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to enhance facial harmony and address breathing issues. Ideal for patients seeking structural corrections or aesthetic improvements, this procedure can refine nasal contours, straighten deviated septums, and improve airflow. Dr. Sherris employs advanced techniques to ensure balanced, natural results that complement individual facial features while maintaining functional integrity.
Deep Plane Facelift
The deep plane facelift addresses advanced facial aging by repositioning deeper tissues rather than just tightening skin. This technique restores mid-face volume, defines jawlines, and smooths neck contours for long-lasting, youthful results. As Buffalo's only provider of this specialized procedure, Dr. Sherris delivers comprehensive rejuvenation without the 'pulled' appearance associated with traditional facelifts.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily reduces dynamic wrinkles to create a smoother, more rested appearance. This non-surgical option targets forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines with minimal downtime. Dr. Sherris's expertise ensures precise application for subtle, natural enhancements that prevent over-correction while maintaining facial expressiveness.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery rejuvenates tired, sagging eyes by removing excess skin and fat deposits. Upper blepharoplasty addresses hooded lids, while lower blepharoplasty reduces puffiness and dark circles. The procedure creates a more alert, youthful gaze that enhances overall facial vitality without altering natural expressions.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty corrects protruding or misshapen ears through precise cartilage reshaping. This procedure enhances facial symmetry and boosts self-confidence, particularly for patients self-conscious about ear appearance. Dr. Sherris achieves balanced, natural contours that harmonize with individual facial proportions for both pediatric and adult patients.

We offer BOTOX Cosmetic, dermal fillers, Sculptra, and skin resurfacing treatments. These options address fine lines, volume loss, and skin texture concerns with minimal downtime, tailored to complement surgical outcomes or serve as standalone treatments.
How are surgical candidates evaluated?
During consultation, Dr. Sherris assesses medical history, aesthetic goals, and anatomical factors to recommend appropriate procedures. He explains risks, benefits, and recovery expectations while ensuring realistic outcomes aligned with each patient's unique needs and lifestyle.
What financing options exist for facial plastic surgery?
We accept CareCredit healthcare financing with low-interest plans, direct payments via credit card/check/cash, and assist with insurance verification for medically necessary procedures. Our team provides detailed cost estimates and payment guidance during pre-operative consultations.
How long do facelift results typically last?
Deep plane facelifts generally provide 10-15 years of rejuvenation, while traditional facelifts last 7-10 years. Results vary based on individual aging factors, but Dr. Sherris's techniques maximize longevity by addressing deeper facial structures rather than superficial tightening alone.
