Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures in Reno, NV

Dr. Yamamoto’s long-standing philosophy with facelift and necklift procedures is to provide a more youthful look while keeping results very natural. He wants you, your family and friends to see a more refreshed, energetic version of you. They will notice you look great, but will not notice the surgery itself. You don’t have to worry about the over-pulled, over-filled look.

A facelift can give you smoother cheeks and a tighter jawline while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds. A necklift can tighten sagging neck skin and remove excess fat for a more youthful look.

A deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure to achieve a youthful appearance by providing greater definition to the jawline, neck, and cheekbones. Among the types of facelifts available, the deep plane facelift is considered one of the most advanced and effective facial plastic surgery procedures, providing improved facial contours, wrinkle reduction, and a rejuvenated appearance.

Sometimes, individuals desire a change to their nose, whether to make it look more refined, or improve the way it functions. All noses are very personal, and therefore Dr. Yamamoto carefully creates individualized plans for each rhinoplasty he performs.

Rhinoplasty can alter the cartilage, bone, and soft tissue of the nose. Some people get the procedure to straighten the nasal bridge, remove a hump, correct obstructed breathing passages, or alter the nose’s tip. Others get it to reduce or enlarge the nose, correct it after an injury, or decrease or increase the nostrils’ size.

A brow lift is a non-invasive procedure to reduce the signs of aging in the upper face, specifically the forehead/brow. Dr. Yamamoto, a double-board certified plastic surgeon believes in giving you a youthful appearance with forehead lift while keeping the results looking natural.

A very common occurrence with facial aging is developing excess skin of the upper eyelids. Too much skin in this area leads to loss of the natural eyelid crease. This can make it difficult to put on eye shadow. A significant amount of excess skin can weigh down your eyelashes and even contribute to obstructing a portion of your vision. An Upper Blepharoplasty is performed to remove the laxity of the eyelid skin or to unweight the upper eyelids.

An upper blepharoplasty can address the loss of elasticity and increased excess skin around the eyelids which develops as we age. Dr. Yamamoto, a Reno double-board certified facial plastic surgeon, recognizes that each individual is unique and creates a customized plan for each patient.

As you age, you may see the signs under your eyes by the bulging fat pads or puffiness due to loss of collagen and thinning skin. A lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid surgery) can rejuvenate your youthful appearance with minimal downtime.

A current trend in facial plastic surgery is repair of gauged earlobes. When the time comes that you no longer want to wear your ear gauges, the earlobe skin can be left sagging and floppy. In order to regain the curvature of your ear, a gauged earlobe repair is performed to reposition the skin and reconstruct the earlobe.

Treatment for skin aging includes skin resurfacing. While there are many treatments to resurface and rejuvenate the facial skin, laser peels have become the gold standard for both being highly effective and providing the best overall aesthetic results. This treatment can be performed on the entire face as well as the décolletage.

Whether you desire rounder cheeks, fuller lips, or want to get rid of those dark circles under your eyes, facial fillers have revolutionized how Dr. Yamamoto treats those trouble spots. Dr. Yamamoto has extensive training in the use of many different kinds of facial filler products. In addition, he has developed a “needleless injection” technique with micro-cannulas for many of his injections.

As you get older, the supporting tissues under your lip skin can lose volume causing the lips to become thinner. Lip fillers can reverse this sign of aging and replenish fullness that has been lost over time. Additionally, lip fillers can help smooth out small lines and wrinkles around the mouth.

Neuromodulators, most commonly known as ‘botox,’ these products help prevent and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face. Whether you want to look more refreshed in wedding photos or at your upcoming special event, or just want to maintain the youthful look of your face, Botox is a safe and easy way to prevent those fine lines.

When injected, Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting. This allows the muscles to relax, softening wrinkles. Botox is used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.

Facelift and mini facelift procedures revitalize the appearance of the face by tightening loose tissues. The mini facelift is a variation that creates subtler changes and provides a faster recovery process.
