Treating Northern Virginia to Facelift, Neck Lift and BOTOX® Cosmetic

Have you ever wished that the face you see in the mirror better reflected how young you feel inside? Northern Virginia experts in facelift, neck lift, BOTOX® Cosmetic and other options that bring a more youthful and balanced appearance to the face, Dr. Andrew Goldberg and Dr. Mitchel Krieger know that your face is the first thing people notice about you. You don't have to live with sun damage, premature signs of aging, or features that are out of proportion. Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Krieger offer a complete range of facial cosmetic surgery to eliminate imperfections. The procedures include:

Facelift

For those who want to recapture the sleek, firm, unlined skin of youth, our Northern Virginia center offers the classic facelift – cosmetic surgery's gold standard of facial rejuvenation. Facelift is a surgical procedure that removes sagging, excess skin on the face and adjusts the remaining skin and muscle to create a younger, firmer, and more refreshed appearance. Our Northern Virginia surgeons expertly conceal the facelift incisions around the ear, allowing for rejuvenation of the face and neck with few telltale signs of surgery. Scars fade beautifully, becoming barely perceptible over time. Newer mini-incision S-lift techniques also allow for full facial rejuvenation for many younger patients - leaving a natural, refreshed look.

In some cases, the overall effect of a facelift is more successful when paired with additional procedures at our Northern Virginia center. For example, many facelift patients opt for facial liposuction to remove excess fatty deposits, while others decide to correct flaws in the chin and neck areas in conjunction with their facelift surgery. Before you undergo facelift surgery, Dr. Andrew Goldberg and Dr. Mitchel Krieger will discuss with you other options such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), fat injections, forehead lift, brow lift, and laser peel.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

It takes but a few minutes for our Virginia cosmetic surgeons to administer BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, making it one of the most sought-after nonsurgical procedures that our practice offers. BOTOX® Cosmetic is the trade name for a purified protein that, when injected under the skin in very small doses, is very successful in diminishing horizontal forehead creases, crow's feet around the eyes, and the wrinkles along the upper lip that form when a person's mouth is repeatedly pursed.

In fact, many of the deep creases and wrinkles that take up residence on the face are the result of simple, subconscious muscle movements that make a person look tense, angry, or aged. After our Virginia surgeons administer BOTOX® Cosmetic into the area of concern via a small needle, these muscles are forced to soften, relax, and release – and usually remain in that state for up to four months. Contrary to what many believe, it is not necessary to inject into every wrinkle. Rather, our Virginia doctors administer the BOTOX® Cosmetic to the muscles that cause the wrinkles, rendering entire areas of the face smoother. You'll notice a change immediately, and the next few days will bring even more pronounced improvements.

Please contact Goldberg & Krieger Board Certified Plastic Surgeons for more information on BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Neck Lift

Over time, gravity and the loss of skin elasticity take their toll on the neck area. Our Virginia practice performs neck lift surgery as a remedy for the jowls, excessive sagging, and creasing of the neck that can make you look older or heavier. The surgery involves trimming away excess skin and fat, creating a smoother, tighter, and more attractive neck area.

The surgery is done under anesthesia by Virginia neck lift experts Dr. Andrew Goldberg and Dr. Mitchel Krieger. They will take into consideration factors such as your age, your skin tone, the amount of fat and excess skin in your neck, and other signs of aging in your facial features before deciding on the best way to perform your neck lift. Sometimes at our Virginia center, neck lift surgery is accompanied by facelift or liposuction for an even more effective remedy for the slackened, drooping skin that is sometimes referred to as a "turkey waddle" or "turkey neck."

The best way to determine the best neck lift procedure for you is through a personalized consultation with the professionals at Goldberg & Krieger Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in Northern Virginia.

Eyelid Lift

Drooping eyelids often make patients look tired, angry, or older. An eyelid lift, also known as a blepharoplasty, carefully trims away excess fat and skin from the delicate eyelid area to deliver a youthful, energized appearance. Upper and lower eyelid lifts may be necessary to create the most natural effect. These procedures are often performed with facelifts to leave the face with a balanced, youthful appearance.

Brow Lift

Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Krieger perform both endoscopic and open brow lifts. The open brow lift uses traditional surgical techniques and instruments to smooth and contour a deeply furrowed brow. The endoscopic technique employs special instruments inserted below the skin through incisions hidden in the hairline. We would be happy to advise you on which type of procedure is best suited to your needs.

Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty, or surgical reshaping of the nose, is a very popular procedure that can vastly improve a patient's appearance and self image. Rhinoplasty can alter almost any displeasing feature of the nostrils, bridge, or tip. The goal is to sculpt a nose that is more balanced with the other features of your face.

Facial Implants

Many times, the face can be made more proportional and attractive with facial implants. Cheek and chin implants are custom devices that are permanently attached to your facial structures beneath the skin for a subtle yet effective refinement of your features.

Skin Cancer Surgery

Skin cancer is rapidly becoming one of the most common forms of cancer among both men and women, often developing on the face and neck due to sun exposure and other environmental factors. Surgical removal of cancerous lesions is often curative of the condition. Skin cancer surgery can generally be completed with minimal scarring.

Ear Pinning

Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Krieger can perform minor ear pinning surgery on children and adults. Also known as an otoplasty, this procedure reshapes or removes small sections of cartilage from the back of the ears, allowing them to be brought closer to the head so that they no longer stick out. Many patients find this simple procedure greatly increases their self confidence and gives them more versatility in their hairstyle and fashion choices.

Patients interested in bringing their inner beauty to the surface through any of the facial procedures described above may contact Dr. Andrew Goldberg and Dr. Mitchel Krieger at their practice in Northern Virginia for facelift, neck lift, or BOTOX® Cosmetic consultations.

"After seeing four plastic surgeons as a result of losing 150+lb, post gastric bypass, I chose Dr. Krieger. I didn't think twice after my initial consult. He created a plan that took into consideration all my medical needs and physical concern as a patient while trying to maximize the end result. With both my extended tummy tuck and gynecomastia procedures, he exceeded my expectations and the results are outstanding. He is a true artist in his field and there for his patients 200%. His office staff is marvelous as well I would not recommend any other plastic surgeon in the DC Metro area."
