Surgical procedure overview

  • Upper eyelid surgery
    Removes excess upper eyelid skin and tissue to restore a refreshed, more open appearance.

    Lower eyelid surgery
    Addresses under-eye bags, hollows, and aging changes using a surgical approach tailored to each patient’s anatomy.

    Facial fat transfer
    Restores volume to the eyelids and face using the patient’s own fat to improve contour, softness, and skin quality.

  • Comprehensive rejuvenation of the face and neck to address sagging of the cheeks, jawline, and neck with natural, long-lasting results.

  • Cosmetic and functional nasal surgery designed to improve facial harmony and nasal structure, with attention to both form and breathing when indicated.

  • Elevates the brows to improve brow position, soften forehead lines, and open the upper eye area while maintaining a natural expression.

  • Surgical lowering of a high or disproportionately long forehead to improve facial balance and harmony. This procedure may be performed alone or in combination with a brow lift in carefully selected patients.

  • A refined, regenerative approach to facial rejuvenation. Fat transfer restores youthful volume and contour, while nanofat enhances skin quality and texture, delivering natural, lasting results without synthetic fillers.

  • A surgical procedure that shortens the upper lip to enhance lip shape and improve balance between the lips and nose.

  • Enhances chin projection and facial balance using surgical techniques selected based on facial proportions.

  • Corrects prominent or misshapen ears to improve symmetry and proportion

  • Repairs torn, stretched, or elongated earlobes caused by earrings, trauma, or aging.

  • Selective removal of buccal fat to refine lower cheek contour in carefully selected patients.

  • An advanced fractional laser treatment that restores clarity and refinement to the skin. CO2 resurfacing softens wrinkles, improves texture, and stimulates collagen renewal for smoother, more luminous, naturally rejuvenated skin.

  • Precision injectable treatments designed to refresh and refine the face. Neurotoxins gently soften expression lines by relaxing targeted muscles, while dermal fillers restore volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth deeper folds. When performed with an artistic and conservative approach, injectables can create subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation that preserves your unique features.

    Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a procedure designed to reshape or resize the nose for both aesthetic and functional improvements. Whether you’re seeking to refine the tip, straighten a crooked nose, or correct breathing difficulties, Dr. Chao specializes in delivering natural, balanced results. Her approach prioritizes facial harmony and patient satisfaction, using both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques tailored to each individual’s needs.

    Facelift

    Facelift surgery is a transformative procedure aimed at rejuvenating the lower face and neck, addressing sagging skin, deep creases, and jowls. Dr. Chao is skilled in the deep-plane facelift, a highly effective technique that not only tightens the skin but also lifts the underlying facial muscles and fat, delivering long-lasting, natural results. This advanced approach creates youthful contours while avoiding an overdone look.

    Blepharoplasty

    Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, addresses signs of aging around the eyes, including droopy eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags. This procedure can significantly rejuvenate the upper and lower eyelids, creating a more alert and youthful appearance. Dr. Chao combines precision and artistry to ensure a subtle, yet transformative outcome that brightens the eyes while maintaining their natural expression.
