Contact our Pittsburgh office to learn about eyelid surgery, chin implant surgery, nose job, and facelift.
Dr. Hurwitz, of Pittsburgh, offers a variety of facelift surgery options to fulfill your unique needs. Dr. Hurwitz or Dr. Agha will also help you decide if your case will best be solved by performing an extended facelift, midface lift, or limited incision facelift. All of these techniques will be customized at our Pittsburgh practice to meet your desires and are intended to improve your appearance by removing wrinkles and fat while tightening facial skin and muscles. Facelift can also be used to tighten the neck and jowls. In most cases, facelift surgery can provide a younger, healthier appearance with a minimal amount of scarring. If you are interested in visiting our Pittsburgh office to learn about facelift, contact Dr. Dennis Hurwitz or Dr Siamak Agha.
Out of all the facial procedures we perform at our Pittsburgh office, the nose job can produce some of the most dramatic results in a patient. A nose job, also known as rhinoplasty, is used to change the size, shape, or overall appearance of the nose. As one of the most common cosmetic procedures at our Pittsburgh office, a nose job can be used to alter the size of the nose and the shape of its bridge, tip, and nostrils. We also employ rhinoplasty at our Pittsburgh office to alleviate breathing problems. A nose job can offer patients greater confidence and self-esteem, as well as improved appearance.
As we age, wrinkles and redundant tissue may develop around the eyes, making us appear tired or perhaps older than we really feel. Dr. Hurwitz and Dr Agha, of the Pittsburgh area, have the solution for you. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and tissue from the upper and lower eyelids. The result of eyelid surgery is less puffiness, wrinkles, and sagging around the eyes. Performed at our Pittsburgh practice, eyelid surgery offers many people a younger, fresher appearance. It is often performed in conjunction with other facial procedures such as facelift or browlift, but may be performed alone.
As performed at our Pittsburgh practice, chin surgery and chin implant techniques are used to modify the shape of the chin. The chin is one of the major defining features of the face. Minor adjustments to this area can have a powerfully dramatic effect on the countenance. The most common chin procedure performed at our practice in Pittsburgh is chin implant surgery. During chin implant surgery, the incision will be made either inside the lower lip or under the chin. A custom made chin implant is then precisely positioned on the chin bone and secured in place.
As we age, many people develop deep furrows and wrinkles along the forehead, which can exaggerate our age. Endoscopic or coronal (open) browlift surgery is a procedure intended to smooth and tighten a person's forehead skin through an inconspicuous incision near the hairline. Browlift can combat the effects of time, sun, stress, and heredity, while yielding a younger and more refreshed appearance.
Cleft lip and cleft palate repair refers to the surgical treatment of a fairly common birth defect. This congenital issue can be not only disfiguring but, also a hindrance to speech and feeding. Dr. Dennis Hurwitz and Dr Siamak Agha are one of the nation’s leading plastic surgeons for cleft lip and cleft palate repair. The surgery is most often performed on infants, helping them to achieve both improved appearance and functional use of the mouth. For more information about cleft repairs, please contact our Pittsburgh office today.
As we age, our skin tissue breaks down causing skin to look transparent, thin, and hollow. Lipoaugmentation is used to smooth out contour deficiencies, scars, and aging to help create a more youthful appearance by restoring elasticity to the skin. The procedure is most often performed in combination with facelift, but may be performed alone to target concentrated areas. Contact our Pittsburgh practice for more information.
Fotofacial skin rejuvenation refers to a procedure that uses pulsed light from a medical device called the Vasculite, to reduce redness, sun damage, and wrinkles. It is also an effective treatment for rosacea. The procedure is usually accomplished in five treatment sessions and requires no downtime. For more information about this and other procedures, please contact us today!
Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume to the face and reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. Unlike other dermal fillers, Restylane® is derived from a substance that is naturally found in the human body and contains no animal proteins, thus reducing the risk of complications.
To begin treatment, Restylane® is injected into the targeted areas with an ultra fine needle, providing an instantaneous improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and folds. It is normal to experience some redness and swelling after the treatment, but these side effects usually subside within a week. The results of Restylane® generally last for six months.
SculptraŽ is a safe, synthetic filler that effectively smoothes away deep wrinkles and facial folds, leaving the patient with a fresh, rejuvenated face. Sculptra® is also the only FDA-approved treatment for facial fat loss (lipoatrophy), a condition that can result in prominent facial folds, sunken eyes, and hollow cheeks.
Sculptra® is comprised of a biocompatible substance known as poly-L-latic acid, a synthetic version of the substance naturally produced by the body's muscles during exercise. Because Sculptra® is not made from human or animal products, no skin test is required.
During treatment, the skin is numbed with a local anesthetic and Sculptra® is injected onto the areas of fat loss with a fine needle. Over the next few months, Sculptra® produces a significant thickening of the skin, which reduces the appearance of folds and sunken areas.
The results of Sculptra® are gradual but enduring. Depending on the severity of the problem and the patient's goals, it can take multiple treatments and several months to achieve optimal results. However, clinical studies demonstrate that the effects of Sculptra® last up to two years.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most popular wrinkle treatments in the country. With just a few quick injections into the targeted area, BOTOX® Cosmetic improves frown lines, crow's feet, and deep wrinkles and furrows.
Prominent wrinkles and folds are caused by the contractions of underlying facial muscles. BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles so they can no longer contract. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic last up to four months.
Contour Threads are an FDA-approved, minimally invasive lift option that can reverse the appearance of sagging, deep creases, wrinkles, and folds on the face and neck. Though not intended as a substitute for an actual facelift, the procedure does provide immediate results, short recovery time, and minimal scarring at a fraction of the cost.
The natural results of the Contour Threads procedure are achieved through the use of implantable surgical threads placed into the fat layer beneath the skin. The surgeon tugs and manipulates the threads in order to gently lift sagging tissue, emphasizing the existing contours and underlying structure of your face. Once the skin has been lifted, the surgical threads are tied into position. New collagen will eventually form around the surgical threads to maintain the affects of the lift.
The entire procedure is usually performed in about an hour depending on the extant of the work. Patients are then able to return home shortly afterwards.
Known as the "non surgical facelift," the Thermage® Thermacool™ system safely and gently tightens lax skin and restores a taut, youthful appearance to the face without any downtime.
Thermage® utilizes a radiofrequency device to heat the collagen directly below the surface layer of skin (epidermis) while simultaneously protecting the epidermis from any tissue damage with a special cooling spray. As the collagen heats, it contracts and tightens. This action triggers the growth of new collagen to fill in fine lines around the eyes and mouth and soften deep wrinkles and furrows.
Although some patients may notice improvement immediately, optimal results appear gradually as collagen production continues over the next few months.
