Facelift, Necklift, MACS Lift
Facelift, necklift and MACS lift surgery are powerful tools for restoring a younger look to your face. They can effectively do away with the sagging skin that collects in jowls and around your neck. The surgeries also do away with wrinkles and furrows by tightening loose skin. Dr. Briggs surgically removes excess skin and fat, carefully placing the incisions to keep any resulting scars hidden. The MACS lift is a minimally invasive face and neck lifting procedure that can be done under local anaesthetic as an outpatient. Although the procedure is minimally invasive the results achieved are equally to or superior to the standard traditional facelift. Because the procedure is less invasive patients require less time off work and return to normal activities in a very short period of time. Most patients are suitable for a MACS lift.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
As you age, your eyelids and the skin around your eyes naturally tend to lose their elasticity and droop down. This tends to make your face appear tired, sad, and generally older than you may feel. Eyelid surgery, technically called "blepharoplasty," can remove this drooping skin and the fat that causes eye bags, resulting in a fresher, more youthful appearance. The incisions for eyelid surgery are placed either along the natural lines of your eyes, or on the inside of your eyelids (a "transconjunctival blepharoplasty"), so there are no noticeable scars.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Lasers are quickly becoming an essential tool in the field of cosmetic surgery. They are incredibly precise, and are very useful for removing some tissue, while leaving neighboring tissue completely unharmed. This makes lasers a great tool for skin resurfacing; they can be used to vaporize the wrinkled top layers of skin, leaving just the healthy, younger-looking skin beneath. If you're interested in rejuvenating your face with laser skin resurfacing, contact Dr. Briggs today.

Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Your nose is literally front and center on your face; its shape, and the way it relates to the rest of your features, is of utmost importance in creating a balanced, harmonious appearance. Subtle adjustments can greatly enhance the aesthetics of your face. Rhinoplasty nose surgery is a method by which Dr. Briggs can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change its shape, and alter the angle between your nose and upper lip.
Prominent Ear Correction (Otoplasty)
Ears that are exceptionally large or that protrude noticeably can be a source of self-consciousness for both children and adults. Using otoplasty surgery, Dr. Briggs is able to reduce the size of ears, and set prominent ears back closer to the head. Since ears are nearly fully grown by the time a child reaches age four, the procedure is often performed on teens, pre-teens and younger children. Adults, however, can also benefit greatly from otoplasty surgery.
Facial Implants
A strong chin, high cheekbones, a pleasing jaw line - all these things are associated with facial beauty. Some people are born with them, but now anybody can obtain more aesthetically pleasing facial lines with facial implants. Facial implants are carefully inserted into key areas such as the cheeks, jaw and chin to add volume and improve definition and balance in your face.
