Cleveland Facial Plastic Surgery Conditions

Cleveland Facial Plastic Surgery Conditions

Anyone who has aged gracefully will offer the same advice: the best way to stay looking youthful is to take care of your skin and protect it from the sun. The best treatment is prevention, in many cases, and a simple sunscreen regimen may be the cure.

However, sometimes we want to reverse, reconstruct, or refresh our appearance. Whether you’re hoping to effect a structural change in your facial features, repair sun damage, or reverse the effects of aging, our broad offering surgical and non-surgicial procedures can help you to regain or reveal the appearance and confidence you’re looking for.

Acne

Even when the goal is to look youthful, some marks of youth just aren’t welcome. Acne is one of the most common skin disorders, affecting about 85 percent of Americans at some point.

Acne Scars

Once your skin clears up, it’s hard to celebrate if scarring is left behind. Acne scars can be treated with various methods depending on severity, number, and location.

Age Spots

Darkened marks on the back of our hands and on our cheeks are known by many names. Age spots, sunspots, brown spots, and liver spots are just a few.

Double Chin

The era of selfies has made everyone more self-conscious about having a double chin, whether real or imagined. A double chin can develop from weight gain or saggy skin following weight loss.

Dry Skin

Hydrated and conditioned skin is both attractive and more comfortable to live in. Skin that is overly dry can make the face appear ashen or taut. Extremely dry skin can crack or bleed, and scratching itchy skin may cause more damage.

Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, can occur almost anywhere on the body, but excessive sweating is often localized to the hands or face (localized hyperhidrosis). Excessive sweating might be caused by a minor malfunction in the nervous system, and appears to be genetic.

Eyebrow Thinning

As we age, our entire face changes. The color of our eyes, hair, and skin softens to a more neutral tone. Gravity’s effects may result in sagging skin or wrinkles.

Fine Lines and Volume Loss

Fat loss is typically something people celebrate. But as we age, the fat you lose in our face can leave you looking drawn or tired.

Learn More

Large Pores

Pores contribute to our skin’s natural hydration process, moisturizing our skin and keeping it supple. But as our skin loses elasticity as we grow older, skin can stretch and sag, making pores appear larger.

Melasma

An estimated five million Americans, more commonly women, will develop melasma. Brown or gray-brown patches of melasma are a form of hyperpigmentation appearing most often on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin in blotchy patches.

Pigmentation / Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a broad term that refers to discolored or darkened skin. Changes in skin tone can occur from sun damage, acne scarring, and inflammation.

Midface Lift

Sagging cheeks and deep smile lines are a common complaint in both men and women as we age. Over time, our once-plump cheeks flatten and the creases next to the nose and mouth deepen. A midface lift smoothes and lifts the area of the face from the corners of your eyes to the corners of your mouth, including the nose, cheeks, and the area above your upper lip.

Mini-Facelift / Mini Lift

Considering a facelift, but worried about recovery time or want a less invasive treatment? Mini-lifts are suited for patients with less excess skin, as the results are less dramatic than a full facelift. A mini-lift targets the sagging around your cheeks and jawline that can make you look aged, tired, and stressed.

Rosacea

Rosacea is an extremely common skin ailment, with symptoms such as facial redness with swollen red bumps and small visible blood vessels. It is sometimes mistaken for acne or other skin conditions, and can sometimes occur alongside cystic acne.

Scars

Our bodies carry us through the world, and they are meant to experience the world. But our experiences can leave their mark, and scars may not be something we care to carry forever.

Learn More

Skin Laxity / Saggy Skin

Our skin loses elasticity with age, and skin can begin to sag. Volume loss occurs as we age, creating a deflated, sunken appearance to the face.

Learn More

Sun Damage

Laying out in the sun, letting our skin burn to ‘get a good base,’ or using tanning beds were accepted and typical practices until fairly recently until our improved understanding of the long-term effects of sun exposure.

Learn More

Thinning Hair

Our hairline naturally grows narrower and higher with time. By the age of 40, about 40% of men notice balding and thinning areas, most commonly along the forehead.

Learn More

Wrinkles

Wrinkles are as inevitable as the passage of time. We might be careful with time in the sun, change our sleeping position, or buy facial exercise contraptions, but we simply will not escape the eventual wrinkles. Our skin changes as we age, and the plump tissue underneath is diminished through loss of fat and moisture.

  • Dr Ponsky’s staff are full of energy and very friendly. They are extremely personable, and worked to ensure that I felt comfortable and had everything I needed (down to a blanket during the procedure). Dr Ponsky is thorough, sweet, and gentle in her explanations. She made sure to explain the answers to each of my questions and I never felt rushed/forced to make a decision. I love the fact that we could do the entire procedure under local anesthesia.
