Many of my Houston eyelid surgery patients inquire about eyelid lifts for hooded upper eyelids.  An eyelid lift or upper blepharoplasty removes the excess loose upper eyelid skin to allow more of the upper eyelid to show.  This allows for a more open eyed and rested appearance to the eye.

Many of my Houston facelift patients inquire about the best facelift for them.  Dr. Funk performs deep plane facelifts where the SMAS or fascia is released from its deep ligamentous attachments to create a more impressive and longer lasting lift.  This allows the midface, jowls, and neck to be tightened and lifted providing a more youthful yet natural result.

Many of my Houston facelift patients inquire about where the scars will be after a facelift.  This truly depends on the extent of the facelift or neck lift and on the closure by the facelift surgeon.  A neck lift requires about a 1-1.5 inch incision in the crease under the chin.  This scar heals relatively well in a hidden location.  Incisions will need to be made in…

Many of my Houston rhinoplasty patients are concerned about bruising after rhinoplasty.  While the internet is amassed with photos of significant bruising around the eyes after rhinoplasty, most of Dr. Funk's rhinoplasty patients do not bruise much at all.  There are many reasons for this.

Many of my Houston facelift patients are concerned about low or droopy eyebrows and ask if a facelift will lift their eyebrows.  A facelift with or without a neck lift will address the midface, lower face, jowls, and neck.  If a patient wants their brows lifted, a brow lift or endoscopic browlift is the procedure to position the brows in a more lifted position.
