Even in ancient times, the importance of a well-cared for appearance was recognized. More than anything, your face is your presentation to the world. Today, we are in the enviable position of having many options to preserve and restore our natural beauty. Men and women are finding that pursuing facial rejuvenation provides wonderful social, psychological and physical rewards.

Why choose a Facial Plastic Surgeon?

As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Hall trained only in surgery of the face and neck. After a five year Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery residency, she completed an accredited Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship. This high degree of specialization allows Dr. Hall a unique appreciation of the best and most current techniques for facial rejuvenation.

Skin Care

Maintaining and enhancing one's skin is a cornerstone of lifelong beauty. The best time to start caring for your skin is now. The younger you are when you start a skin care regimen, the greater the long-term effects. Our practice offers a complimentary skin care evaluation with every new patient visit.

Office-Based Procedures

Dr. Hall utilizes a full line of injectable fillers and Botox. Together, you and Dr. Hall will decide which product will best achieve the results you seek.

The Eyes

The eyes are literally and figuratively the central component of an attractive face. Eyes are often the first part of our face to show the signs of aging. Fortunately, the eyes can be easily restored to a more natural, rested appearance with a simple procedure. A blepharoplasty removes loose skin and bulging fat from around the eyes. Dr. Hall also includes a cheek lift as part of her lower lid blepharoplasty at no extra charge. She does this because her top priority is achieving a harmonious, natural surgical result.

The Nose

An appealing nose is one that is proportionate to the rest of the facial features. It allows the most beautiful parts of the face, the eyes and lips, to stand out. As a board certified head and neck surgeon, Dr. Hall understands that creating a nose that allows a patient to breathe easily is as important as achieving a pleasing cosmetic result.

The Lips

When we speak, others' eyes naturally travel to our lips. Thin lips can make one appear prematurely aged. Lips can be quickly restored to a more youthful appearance during an office visit with injectable fillers. For those seeking a more permanent solution, Dr. Hall implants both fat and synthetic material to achieve full, attractive lips.

The Face and Neck

Sagging skin, fine lines, and dark spots can detract from an otherwise attractive face and make one appear older than he or she really is. There are a variety of procedures to address these issues including creams, laser therapy, and neck- and facelifts. During your consultation, you and Dr. Hall will discuss your lifestyle and your cosmetic goals and determine which option is best for you.

The Ears

Protuding ears can be a source of embarrassment for both children and adults. Fortunately, this problem is correctable. Surgical treatment of unfavorable ear anatomy provides immediate and satisfying results.

Dr. Hall's Philosophy
