A brow lift restores a more open and rested appearance to the upper face by repositioning the brow. Dr. Tansavatdi customizes brow lift surgery to avoid a surprised or artificial look, focusing instead on natural elevation, improved eyelid balance, and a refreshed expression. Brow lift surgery may be recommended on its own or combined with upper eyelid surgery, ptosis repair, facelift, or full face rejuvenation.

Chin augmentation improves balance between the chin, jawline, neck, and facial profile. A chin implant may be used to enhance projection and support the lower face, but Dr. Tansavatdi evaluates the chin in relation to the entire face before recommending surgery. Chin augmentation may be combined with rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, deep neck contouring, neck lift, or facelift surgery when appropriate.

Deep neck contouring addresses fullness or poor definition beneath the chin that is not caused by superficial fat alone. This procedure may involve deeper work beneath the platysma muscle, including anterior digastric reduction in select patients. Dr. Tansavatdi may recommend deep neck contouring when neck liposuction alone would not create enough improvement.

Ear surgery may include otoplasty, earlobe repair, lobuloplasty, or earlobe reduction. Otoplasty reshapes or repositions prominent ears, while lobuloplasty repairs stretched, torn, or elongated earlobes. Dr. Tansavatdi customizes each procedure based on the anatomy of the ear or earlobe and the degree of correction needed.

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can address heaviness, puffiness, skin laxity, and aging changes around the eyes. Upper eyelid surgery may be combined with brow lift or ptosis repair when drooping is caused by more than excess skin. Lower eyelid surgery may address puffiness, hollowness, skin texture, or the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.

Neck liposuction is reserved for select patients, usually younger individuals with good skin elasticity and localized, pinchable fat directly beneath the chin. It is not designed to treat loose skin, deeper neck fullness, poor neck anatomy, or aging-related neck laxity. If the concern is deeper or more structural, Dr. Tansavatdi may recommend deep neck contouring, chin augmentation, neck lift, or facelift and neck lift surgery instead.

Facelift surgery is one of Dr. Tansavatdi’s core specialties. She offers advanced facial rejuvenation techniques, including deep plane facelift, endoscopic deep plane facelift, revision facelift, and full face rejuvenation. Her facelift philosophy is based on restoring facial structure, expression, and identity — not pulling the face tight or creating an overdone appearance.

Facial fat transfer, also known as facial fat grafting, uses a patient’s own fat to restore volume in areas affected by aging, hollowing, or structural depletion. It may be used in the temples, cheeks, under-eyes, jawline, lips, or other areas depending on the surgical plan. Dr. Tansavatdi uses fat transfer carefully to restore support and softness without creating a heavy or overfilled look.

Surgical lip augmentation can improve lip volume, shape, and support in a way that is more long-lasting than injectable filler. Dr. Tansavatdi most often uses mastoid fascia grafts to provide natural-looking, longer-lasting lip volume while preserving softness and movement. In select patients, fat transfer may also be considered, but the best technique depends on the patient’s anatomy, tissue quality, goals, and Dr. Tansavatdi’s recommendation. The goal is not to create an exaggerated or trend-driven lip shape. It is to enhance the lips in a way that remains balanced with the rest of the face.

A lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip to improve upper lip visibility, tooth show, and facial balance. Dr. Tansavatdi customizes the amount of lift based on each patient’s anatomy to avoid an unnatural or overly shortened appearance. A lip lift may be performed alone or combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures.

A neck lift addresses loose skin, muscle banding, deeper neck support, and loss of definition along the jawline and neck. It is often performed with a facelift because the lower face and neck age together. Dr. Tansavatdi may also combine neck lift surgery with deep neck contouring when deeper anatomy contributes to fullness beneath the chin.

Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, reshapes or reconstructs the nose to improve facial balance, breathing, or both. Dr. Tansavatdi performs rhinoplasty for both women and men, with a focus on natural-looking results that fit the patient’s face. She also performs revision rhinoplasty for select patients who need correction after prior nose surgery.

Ptosis repair corrects a drooping upper eyelid caused by weakness or stretching of the levator muscle. Many patients believe they only need upper eyelid surgery when they actually have ptosis or a combination of ptosis and excess skin. Dr. Tansavatdi often performs ptosis repair with upper blepharoplasty, brow lift, facelift, or full face rejuvenation when appropriate.
