Procedures and techniques named

• Facelift: mini-facelift, mild to moderate saggingA mini-facelift is a less invasive version of a traditional facelift, designed to target mild to moderate sagging in the lower face and jawline.
• deep plane faceliftA deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical technique that repositions the underlying facial muscles and tissues for a more natural and long-lasting rejuvenation.
• Eyelid surgery: local anesthesia, intravenous sedationEyelid surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation at The Carney Center.
• Eyelid surgery: one to three hoursEyelid surgery without complications typically takes between one and three hours
• Blepharoplasty: incisions in natural eyelid creasesBlepharoplasty typically involves minimal scarring. Most incisions are placed in the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize the visibility of the scars.
• Rhinoplasty: local anesthesia, intravenous sedationUsually, rhinoplasty procedures are done under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. Some patients with more extensive airway problems may require general anesthesia.
• Rhinoplasty: open or closed incisionA rhinoplasty can be performed “open” or “closed”. In a closed rhinoplasty, the incision is made on the inside of the nose, whereas in an open rhinoplasty, the incision is made on the columella or the bridge between the nostrils.
• Liposuction: neck and chin, lower recovery timeGiven the smaller target area of the jawline, neck, and chin, this procedure is faster than major liposuction with lower recovery time and reduced scarring.
• Liposuction: not a treatment for obesityThe best candidates for neck and chin liposuction in Virginia Beach are patients who do not approach this procedure as a treatment for obesity.
• Breast augmentation: trans-umbilical incision through belly buttonTrans-umbilical breast augmentation (TUBA). In this method, the incision is made through the belly button. Patients who are getting tummy tucks simultaneously should opt for this incision for a convenient combined procedure.
