Top Procedures From Dr. Frankel in Beverly Hills
As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and head and neck surgeon, Dr. Frankel only performs facial procedures. Specializing in facial plastic surgery has allowed him to hone his skills and provide patients with unparalleled results.
Whether you’re interested in reversing signs of facial aging or you’d like to change the shape and appearance of your facial features, there’s a treatment plan for you. Here are some of the most popular surgical procedures and non-surgical treatments Dr. Frankel offers.
Facelift
You can’t stop the aging process entirely, but you can slow it down with a facelift. A facelift has long been considered the gold-standard anti-aging surgical procedure. The surgery addresses several aesthetic concerns in the lower face, including sagging skin, volume loss, and wrinkles.
During a facelift, Dr. Frankel repositions and tightens the muscles and underlying tissue on the face. Skin tightening is also part of the procedure. Along with tightening the skin, Dr. Frankel might remove excess tissue to reduce sagging or jowls. He may also remove fatty deposits.
The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance. Although individual results can vary, the average person looks about 10 years younger after facelift surgery. The results are typically long-lasting and can be extended by avoiding too much sun exposure, not smoking, and following up with non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers and skin resurfacing.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, aka a “nose job,” is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the world. It’s popular with movie stars, celebs, and everyday people who want to change the size and shape of their nose or improve its function.
Although rhinoplasty is one of the most in-demand surgeries, it’s also one of the most difficult to perform. It takes years of training to perfect the surgical techniques used during rhinoplasty.
Since the nose is one of the most visible and prominent features of the face, candidates for rhinoplasty should be careful to choose a surgeon with extensive experience and board certification. Ideally, former patients should also highly recommend and praise the surgeon for their skill and results.
Dr. Frankel loves performing rhinoplasty and enjoys the careful planning and preparation that goes into a successful procedure. He works hard during the planning phase and the surgery itself to ensure that the patient ends up with results they are happy with for years to come.
Although some facial plastic surgeons only perform one type of rhinoplasty, Dr. Frankel offers ethnic rhinoplasty, nasal reduction, nasal augmentation, adolescent rhinoplasty, and functional rhinoplasty. He’s available to meet with you, discuss your goals, and help you plan a successful nasal surgery.
Revision Rhinoplasty
In some cases, a person might not be happy with the results of their first rhinoplasty (primary rhinoplasty). There are many possible reasons for this dissatisfaction. A patient might have decided to work with a surgeon who wasn’t particularly skilled or there might have been a miscommunication about the expected results or goals of the surgery.
In other instances, a patient is initially satisfied with their surgical results. But something might happen to the nose in the future, such as an injury, which changes its shape or another aspect of its appearance.
When a patient isn’t happy with their results, a secondary or revision surgical procedure can be performed to correct or adjust them. Revision rhinoplasty is even more challenging than primary rhinoplasty and isn’t offered by every facial plastic surgeon.
A lot is at stake during a revision rhinoplasty which is why it needs to be performed by an experienced and skilled surgeon. In many cases, patients who want a revision rhinoplasty come to see Dr. Frankel for his expertise and skill after they have had multiple bad surgical experiences.
To ensure the best outcome possible, Dr. Frankel invests a considerable amount of time and energy into his revision rhinoplasty patients. He seeks to get a thorough understanding of the issues they are facing by asking questions and answering any questions they may have. He also uses computer imaging to give patients a clearer image of what their results may look like.
If you’re considering revision rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills, CA, Dr. Frankel is one of the area’s top-rated surgeons. He has a reputation for being able to fix what other surgeons can’t.
Dermal Fillers and Injections
If you want to minimize lines and wrinkles or restore lost volume to various areas of your face but aren’t yet ready for cosmetic surgery, dermal fillers and injectables can be a good option for you.
Dermal fillers include Juvederm and Restylane. They are often made from hyaluronic acid, which the body naturally produces. Hyaluronic acid makes skin look plump and hydrated. As you get older, the natural production of this substance diminishes, contributing to creases and lines. Dermal fillers help to restore volume to those lines, smoothing the face and giving you a more youthful look.
Other injectables, such as Botox, treat lines and wrinkles in a completely different way. Botox contains a neuromodulator that blocks certain muscle movements. When you have less activity in the facial muscles, certain lines and wrinkles fade from view.
Dermal fillers and injectables provide temporary results and usually last between 3 and 12 months. You can repeat the treatments to maintain the results. Dr. Frankel can help you choose the injectable, filler, or combination of products that will help you reach your goals.
Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty, aka eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, aims to give patients a more youthful and well-rested appearance. Two types of eyelid surgery are available: an upper eyelid lift and a lower eyelid lift.
The goal of an upper eyelid lift is usually to reduce excess skin and resolve droopiness of the upper eyelids. Droopy upper lids can make a person look tired or grumpy. The heaviness of the upper lids can also interfere with a person’s vision.
A lower eyelid lift focuses on the area beneath the eyes. It can smooth away bags or dark circles and resolve loose skin. While many patients choose between either an upper or lower eyelid lift, depending on their specific goals and concerns, it is possible to have the two surgeries performed at the same time.
At his Los Angeles practice, Dr. Frankel can help you choose the eyelid surgery that’s right for you and might recommend other facial surgeries to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Brow Lift
While a facelift is a surgical procedure that focuses on rejuvenating the lower portion of the face, a brow lift focuses on refreshing the upper part of the face. The surgery is sometimes known as a forehead lift, as it can smooth the forehead while elevating the eyebrows.
The surgery can be combined with other procedures of the head and neck, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery, to create an overall refreshed and youthful look.
