Nose Reshaping

If you’ve never liked the size or shape of your nose, if you need to correct an injury or if you need breathing relief, nose reshaping surgery may be for you. Dr. Schmid can reduce or increase the size of your nose, narrow the span of the nostrils, change the angle between your upper lip and your nose, or change the shape of the tip or the bridge.

Face Lift

A facelift might be right for you if you have deep creases between your nose and mouth, your jawline is slack and jowly or you have folds and fat deposits around your neck. While these are common effects from age, gravity, sun exposure and stress, Dr. Schmid can reverse their impact by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck

Forehead Lift (Brow Lift)

An arm lift may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms has developed sagging, droopy skin, or appears loose and full due to excess skin and fat. Dr. Schmid can reduce the excess skin and underlying fat that occurs between your underarm region and the elbow, reshaping your arm to have smoother skin and a more toned, proportionate appearance.

Forehead Lift (Brow Lift)

If a small chin, weak jaw or lack of facial contour bothers you, facial implant surgery may be for you. While any area of your face can be augmented with implants, the cheekbones, chin and jaw are the most common sites. Dr. Schmid can change the basic shape and balance of your face using carefully shaped implants to build up a receding chin, add prominence to your cheekbones or reshape your jawline.

Eyelid Lift

If you’ve noticed that your eyes are droopy and saggy, that you have a lot of excess skin under them or that your upper lids look heavy, you could be a perfect candidate for eyelid surgery Dr. Schmid will remove excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper and lower eyelids, correcting your droopy upper lids or the puffy bags below your eyes.

Ear Pinning

Adults who want to achieve a more natural profile or children who have protruding, misshapen or noticeably prominent ears will benefit from ear pinning surgery. By reshaping or removing the ear’s cartilage, Dr. Schmid can reduce the size of large ears and set prominent ears back closer to the head.

Lip Enhancement

Would you like fuller, plumper lips? Would you like the fine wrinkles around your mouth to be reduced? Dr. Schmid can use a variety of soft tissue fillers to augment your lips, restoring what has been lost or enhancing your lips’ size.

Hair Replacement

Have you noticed that your hair is thinning as you age? Are you balding? Or is your hair loss the result of burns or trauma? Through hair replacement surgery, Dr. Schmid will use your own hair to recreate the natural hairline that frames your face, enhancing your appearance and your self-confidence.
