A deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure to achieve a youthful appearance by providing greater definition to the jawline, neck, and cheekbones.

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.


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.


Ethnic rhinoplasty is a tailored approach to nasal surgery designed for patients from diverse backgrounds, including African, Asian, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern heritage. Rather than creating a one-size-fits-all result, this technique focuses on preserving and enhancing the natural characteristics that reflect a patient’s identity, ensuring outcomes that look balanced, authentic, and harmonious with their overall facial features.

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 necklift procedure tightens loose neck skin and muscles while removing excess skin and fat. This results in a contoured and youthful-looking neck.


Neck liposuction involves insertion of a tool called a cannula to remove stubborn fat from the neck. This sculpts and contours the neck.


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.


Facial reconstruction is required after skin cancer removal when a gap is left in the skin. This procedure restores a more natural appearance to the area. Scar revision procedures can also be performed.
