Face & Neck

Serving Patients in Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands

The combined effects of sun damage, gravity, and the gradual loss of facial volume, eventually leads to the aging of the face and neck.  The formation of jowls, the loose, sagging skin under the neck, and the hollowing of the face are all a result of these aging factors.  These visible signs of aging can often hide the energy and vitality that you feel inside.  Fortunately, there are many options that exist today to counteract this process.  Contact our Houston plastic surgery practice to help you learn about the state-of-the-art procedures available to you today.

Look Great, Feel Great

Dr. Yalamanchili was drawn to a career specializing in facial plastic surgery not only because of the inherent challenges in treating the face, but also because of the great reward in seeing the positive impact it has had on his patients’ lives. Your face is the most visible part of your body--it is what you use to interact with the people around you. Unfortunately, the aging process often creates the appearance of looking tired, fatigued, sad, or even angry—even though you might not feel this way.  It is this mismatch of how you feel on the inside compared to how you appear to those around you, which leads many people to explore options for facial rejuvenation.  It is a misconception that most people are trying to look like they are in their 20’s again.  In fact, most people are simply trying to look refreshed and have their face reflect the energy and vitality that they possess inside.

Your Face and Neck Enhancement Options

Dr. Yalamanchili and his team want you to look as good as you feel. His goal is to reveal a more youthful, refreshed “you” without looking like you have had “work” done.  The ability to offer natural-looking results is what Dr. Yalamanchili prides himself on and is the hallmark of his extensive surgical experience. Here are several options for rejuvenating and enhancing your face and neck:

• A face lift can very effectively address the jowls and loose skin that develops along the jawline and around the mouth.  A mini-face lift is a great alternative for patients who wish to repair more subtle signs of aging with less down-time.
• A neck lift focuses on treating the excessive sagging, and loose skin which often develops in the neck and under the chin.  The neck lift is frequently combined with the lower face lift to achieve maximum correction of this area of the face.
• Facial and neck liposuction can address excessive fat found in the face and neck which typically does not respond well to exercise of weight loss.
• Fat transfer is a procedure which can be very effective in correcting the “hollowing” that many people develop in their face as they age.  Utilizing your own fat cells from another part of the body, Dr. Yalamanchili is able to replace the lost volume in your face with natural-looking results.

Complementary Procedures

A common concern of many people considering cosmetic enhancement of face, is the fear of looking “overdone.”  Dr. Yalamanchili strongly believes that in many cases the combination of several procedures performed conservatively will have a more impressive yet natural result, as compared to trying to do too much with just one procedure.  Moreover, many of the non-surgical treatments we offer like BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane®, and Juvederm® will help you achieve your best result.
