Facelift
Our facelift procedure addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck through precise tissue repositioning and skin tightening. This surgical solution smooths deep creases, lifts sagging jowls, and restores youthful facial contours while maintaining natural expression. Ideal for patients seeking long-lasting rejuvenation, the procedure can be customized as a full facelift or limited-incision mini facelift depending on individual needs and desired recovery time.
Rhinoplasty
Specialized rhinoplasty techniques reshape nasal structures to enhance facial harmony and improve breathing function. Our approach includes both traditional open rhinoplasty and minimally invasive non-surgical options using dermal fillers. Dr. Mittelman's expertise in nasal anatomy ensures balanced proportions while preserving natural airflow dynamics, with techniques refined through decades of pioneering work in this specialized field.
Botox Injections
Botulinum toxin injections temporarily reduce dynamic facial wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscle groups. This popular non-surgical treatment effectively softens forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines with minimal downtime. Our experienced providers customize injection patterns to maintain natural facial expressions while achieving a refreshed, youthful appearance that lasts 3-4 months.
Laser Resurfacing
Advanced laser technology precisely targets skin imperfections including sun damage, age spots, and textural irregularities. CO2 and IPL treatments stimulate collagen production while removing damaged surface layers, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin. This versatile solution addresses multiple concerns simultaneously, from fine lines to vascular lesions, with customizable intensity levels for different skin types and concerns.
Chin Implants
Customized chin augmentation improves facial balance through strategically placed implants. Our proprietary Mittelman Extended Chin Implant design addresses both horizontal deficiency and pre-jowl contouring, creating a more defined jawline profile. This procedure effectively corrects congenital asymmetries or age-related volume loss, enhancing facial harmony while maintaining natural anatomical proportions.
