It’s hard to feel good about yourself if you don’t like the way you look. Whether you’re concerned about changes in your appearance due to aging or you want to correct a lifelong problem, David K. Hiranaka, M.D., D.M.D. in Kailua Kona, HI, offers surgical solutions that will transform your face. Dr. Hiranaka, a Harvard-trained plastic surgeon, offers face lifts, neck lift surgery and laser treatment for the face. Below are several common types of facial rejuvenation surgery.

• Eyelid Surgery: Eyelid surgery removes excess skin that can cause hooded eyes, enhances the crease in the eyelid and reduces puffiness.
• Endoscopic Forehead Surgery: Ridges and furrows disappear after Dr. Hiranaka performs a forehead lift.
• Midface Lift: As you age, it’s common to develop saggy, loose skin around your jaw, neck and chin. During surgery, the loose skin is removed, giving you a more defined jawline.
• Face Lift: During a face lift, sagging skin is removed and wrinkles are smoothed, improving the appearance of the entire face.
• Neck Lift: Skin is tightened around the neck and jaw line.
• Facial Volume Augmentation: Dr. Hiranaka uses liposuction to remove fat from the abdomen or thighs and transfer it to the face to fill hollow areas.
• Double Eyelid Procedure: During this procedure, a fold is created in the upper eyelid to compensate for lack of a fold, that is common in 50% of Asians.
• Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty changes the shape of the nose and also corrects any deformities.
• Chin & Jaw Surgery: Chin and jaw surgery are used to adjust the chin, ensuring that it’s in balance with the rest of your face. Surgery may include bone reduction, bone reconstruction or chin implants.
• Facial Implants: Implants can help improve the appearance of your chin, jaw or cheeks.
• Otoplasty: During this procedure, protruding ears are “pinned” back against the head. The surgery can be performed on adults and children who are at least six years old.
