Aesthetic facial surgery may restore a younger attractiveness for those who have become dissatisfied with changes caused by the onset of aging. Following successful treatments, a youthful appearance may be maintained with periodic touch-up care.

Even with successful dieting, many individuals still desire additional improvements in areas such as the tummy, buttocks and thighs, all of which may be provided through advanced plastic surgery.

Skin surface imperfections can be addressed by a number of techniques to correct blemishes, birthmarks, scars, or sun-related conditions.

The self-esteem of children may be significantly improved with the surgical correction of undesirable facial, nose and ear appearances, thus allowing for more normal progression in school and social development.

Dr. Fetter is a leading specialist in hand surgery. He performs emergency plastic surgery for traumatic injuries, as well as surgery to correct work-related injuries and disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Procedures performed by Dr. Fetter include:

Facelift (rhytidectomy).
Skin and underlying tissue is lifted and repositioned and excess skin and fat are removed...resulting in a more youthful, vibrant appearance.

Eyelid Surgery (blepharoplasty).
Removes fat, excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids to correct drooping lids and puffy bags below the eyes.

Collagen Replacement.
Collagen is injected under the skin, smoothing wrinkles and lines.

Botox (botulinum toxin).
Botox is injected into specific muscles. This FDA-approved procedure smoothes wrinkles by paralyzing muscles.

Facial Implants.
Also called contouring, this procedure changes the basic structure of the face. Using carefully styled implants, the surgery can create a more balanced look among facial features.

Forehead Lift.
Muscles and skin are removed or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the upper eyelids and minimize frown lines, resulting in a more alert, rested, and youthful appearance.

Autogenous Fat Infiltration.
Minimizes laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, and enhances lips. Fat cells are extracted from areas of the body and then re-injected beneath the facial skin.

Breast Enlargement (augmentation).
Enhances the size and shape of breasts.

Endoscopic Breast Enlargement.
Breast enlargement is also available utilizing a small-incision endoscopic system.

Breast Lift (mastopexy).
Raises and recontours sagging breasts.

Breast Reconstruction.
A technique utilized following breast removal, it uses implants or one’s own body tissue to provide symmetry and balance.

Breast Reduction.
Reduces and reshapes the contour of large breasts by removing excess breast skin and underlying tissue.

Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty).
This surgery tightens the muscles in the abdomen and extracts excess skin and fat...resulting in a flatter, smoother abdomen.

Liposuction.
Although not a substitute for weight reduction, liposuction removes unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It should be used to remove localized fat that does not respond to diet or exercise.

Chemical Peel.
A chemical solution is used to improve and smooth the texture of facial skin by removing damaged outer layers. It can help with blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation, as well as with removing pre-cancerous lesions. Three types of peels offer strengths from mild to strong.

Laser Resurfacing.
Sometimes called a ‘laser peel,’ a carbon dioxide laser is used to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin layer by layer. It is often used to minimize fine lines, but can also be effective in treating facial scars or uneven pigmentation.

Nasal Contouring (rhinoplasty).
Through several hidden incisions, bone and cartilage can be altered, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing nasal structure.

Ear Setback (otoplasty).
Disproportionately prominent ears can be set closer to the head, creating a more natural contour.

Other Conditions and Solutions

Unsightly Scars.
Various procedures can be used to improve or minimize scars, restore function and correct disfigurement that has resulted from injury or previous surgery.

Skin Cancer.
Like dermatologists, plastic surgeons are trained to diagnose and treat skin malignancies. The advantage of using plastic surgeons is that they can skillfully remove the growth so it leaves as little scarring as possible, preserving form and function.

Spider Veins.
Treatment consists of injecting a solution into the veins that causes them to collapse and fade from view. The procedure may also remedy symptoms of spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling, and night cramps.

Enlarged Male Breasts (gynecomastia).
The condition is usually addressed by using small incisions and liposuction.
