Procedures and techniques named

• Facelift: oral sedation or intravenous anesthesiaWhile you undergo a Boston facelift, you will be under either oral sedation or intravenous anesthesia.
• Eyelid lift: incisions in upper eyelid foldThe actual eyelid lift procedure will begin with Dr. Shektman making incisions within the fold of the upper eyelid.
• Rhinoplasty: closed hidden, open barely noticeable scarIf your rhinoplasty is performed using a closed technique, all incisions are hidden inside the nose. For open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made at the base of the nose, which typically heals into a barely noticeable scar.
• Rhinoplasty: wait until nose fully developedWhile there is no “perfect” age, patients should wait until the nose is fully developed - typically around age 15–17. Adults of any age can safely undergo rhinoplasty as long as they are in good general health.
• Tummy tuck: near ideal weight, skin laxityYou should consider a tummy tuck if you have reached or are fairly close to your ideal body weight but still have significant skin laxity and excess fat around your midsection.
• Liposuction: near goal weight, stubborn fatThe best liposuction candidates have already gotten at or near their goal weight with a sensible diet and exercise plan and are looking for help targeting stubborn pockets of fat that remain.
• Chin implants: more dramatic than temporary fillersHowever, the results are only temporary and are not as dramatic as what chin implants can provide.
• Chin augmentation: healthy non-smokers, receding chinIdeal candidates for chin augmentation should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have a receding chin or poorly defined jawline.
• Chin implants: popular among men, masculine jawlineSurgical chin implants tend to be more popular among men who desire a characteristically masculine chin and chiseled jawline
