Services / Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery / Face, Neck & Earlobe Procedures

Face, Neck & Earlobe Procedures

Refine, lift, and rejuvenate your natural features with advanced face, neck, and earlobe procedures—performed by board-certified plastic surgeons in Dayton, Vandalia, and Springfield.

Safe, personalized face, neck, and earlobe procedures designed to smooth signs of aging, lift sagging skin, restore facial balance, refine features, correct drooping eyelids, and repair stretched earlobes. Performed in accredited surgical facilities, every treatment is tailored to your anatomy, goals, and long-term results, providing meaningful, natural-looking enhancement.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery): Removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids to reduce drooping, puffiness, and improve vision if needed.

Brow Lift: Lifts sagging brows, smooths forehead lines, and opens the eye area for a refreshed appearance.

Earlobe Repair: Corrects torn, stretched, or elongated earlobes from injury or piercing.

Facelift & Mini Facelift: Lifts and tightens sagging skin, softens deep folds, and restores youthful definition along the jawline and cheeks.

Lip Augmentation: Enhances lip shape and volume using precise surgical techniques for natural-looking fullness.

Neck Lift: Smooths sagging and loose skin, tightens underlying muscles, and improves neck and jawline contour.

Otoplasty (ear pinning): Repositions prominent, asymmetrical, or protruding ears for improved facial symmetry.

Rhinoplasty: Reshapes the nose to improve proportion, balance, facial balance, and, when needed, breathing function.

What concerns can face, neck, and earlobe procedures address?

Face, neck, and earlobe surgeries can help improve a wide range of aesthetic and functional concerns, including:

  • Sagging skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck
  • Deep facial wrinkles or folds
  • Drooping eyelids that affect appearance or impair vision
  • Loss of facial volume
  • Protruding or asymmetrical ears
  • Nose shape, size, or breathing issues
  • Stretched or torn earlobes
  • Low or heavy brows contributing to a tired appearance
  • Loose neck skin, banding, or a lack of jawline definition

A personalized consultation allows your surgeon to evaluate your goals and recommend the most effective approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which facial procedure is right for me?
Your surgeon will assess your anatomy, goals, skin quality, and health history to recommend the most effective and natural-looking treatment plan.
What’s the difference between a facelift and a mini facelift?
A full facelift addresses sagging skin and deeper tissues across the lower face and jawline, while a mini facelift focuses on early signs of aging with smaller incisions and shorter recovery
Will a neck lift help with a double chin?
A neck lift can reduce sagging skin and tighten underlying muscles, and is often combined with liposuction under the chin to refine the jawline and reduce fullness for a more sculpted neck profile.
Is eyelid surgery painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort that is easily managed with medication. Recovery is generally quick, and many return to daily activities within 7-10 days
What results can I expect after eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery improves drooping lids, puffiness, and under-eye bags, creating a more refreshed and awake appearance. In some cases, upper eyelid blepharoplasty can also improve peripheral vision.
What is blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and is it covered by insurance?
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids to reduce drooping or puffiness. Upper eyelid surgery may be medically necessary if vision is impaired, in which case insurance may cover the procedure. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is usually self-pay.
Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Neck lifts are often combined with facelifts, chin procedures, or liposuction to achieve balanced, comprehensive rejuvenation.
How long do results from face or neck procedures last?
Results can last many years. While aging continues naturally, most patients enjoy long-lasting improvement in firmness and facial contour
Is rhinoplasty only cosmetic, or can it improve breathing?
Rhinoplasty can be cosmetic or functional. Functional (or septorhinoplasty) corrects structural issues such as a deviated septum to improve breathing, while cosmetic rhinoplasty enhances nose shape and facial balance.
What is recovery like after rhinoplasty?
Most patients experience swelling, congestion, and mild discomfort for the first week. Splints or dressings are typically removed within 5-7 days, and many resume light activities shortly after. Final results develop gradually over several months as swelling fully resolves.
How long does earlobe repair take to heal?
Most earlobe repairs heal within 4-6 weeks. Many patients can repierce their ears after the area is fully healed, if desired.
Can earlobe repair fix stretched or gauged earlobes?
Yes. Earlobe repair can correct tears from earrings, elongated piercings, or stretched lobes from gauges. Most repairs are done in-office with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are placed in natural creases or inconspicuous areas. With proper care, scars typically fade significantly over time.
When can I wear makeup after facial surgery
Most patients can resume wearing makeup within 1–2 weeks, depending on the procedure and healing progress.
How does surgical lip augmentation differ from fillers?
Surgical lip augmentation uses implants or tissue grafts to permanently enhance lip shape and volume, while fillers provide temporary fullness lasting 6-12 months. Your surgeon will help you decide which option best suits your goals and lifestyle.
Is a brow lift the same as Botox?
No. A brow lift surgically elevates and repositions the brow, while Botox temporarily relaxes muscles to soften wrinkles. Your provider can help determine the best option.
How much do facial procedures cost?
Costs vary depending on the procedure, complexity, and combination of treatments. During your consultation, we provide a detailed, personalized estimate and discuss payment options.
Are any procedures covered by insurance?
Some procedures may be partially or fully covered if they are medically necessary (e.g., upper eyelid surgery affecting vision, functional rhinoplasty, earlobe repair due to injury). Cosmetic procedures are typically self-pay. Our team can help review your coverage.
