Your face is often the first thing people notice about you. It communicates your emotions, reflects your personality, and plays a central role in how confident you feel about your appearance. Over time, natural aging, genetics, and environmental factors such as sun exposure can cause changes that affect how you look and feel. Fortunately, modern cosmetic facial procedures can help you restore, refresh, and enhance your appearance.
At Pittman Plastic Surgery in Athens, GA, our board-certified surgeons offer a wide range of surgical and non-surgical facial treatments designed to help patients look youthful, vibrant, and natural. Whether you’re seeking a subtle refresh or a more dramatic transformation, we provide the expertise and artistry needed to achieve beautiful results.
This guide will walk you through the most popular cosmetic facial procedures available, what they treat, and how to determine which might be right for you.
Why Patients Choose Facial Procedures
Aging affects everyone differently. Some people notice fine lines and wrinkles in their 30s, while others experience sagging skin or drooping eyelids later in life. Lifestyle, genetics, and even stress can play a role. Cosmetic facial procedures allow you to:
-
Reduce visible signs of aging
-
Improve balance and harmony in facial features
-
Enhance confidence in personal and professional settings
-
Refresh your appearance while maintaining a natural look
Surgical Facial Procedures at Pittman Plastic Surgery
Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
A facelift is one of the most well-known cosmetic procedures for reversing the signs of aging. This surgery lifts and tightens the underlying facial tissues while removing excess skin, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. At Pittman Plastic Surgery, we customize each facelift to ensure results that look natural rather than “pulled” or artificial.
Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
Sagging eyelids and under-eye bags can make you appear tired, even when you’re well-rested. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, restoring a refreshed, alert look. This is a popular procedure for both men and women.
Brow Lift
A heavy or sagging brow can create a perpetually angry or tired expression. A brow lift elevates the eyebrows and smooths forehead wrinkles, rejuvenating the upper third of the face.
Facial Fat Grafting
Volume loss is one of the key contributors to facial aging. Fat grafting uses your own fat, harvested from another part of the body, to restore youthful fullness to areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes.
Non-Surgical Facial Procedures
Not everyone is ready for surgery, and many patients achieve excellent results with non-surgical treatments. At Pittman Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced options to help patients refresh their appearance with little to no downtime.
Botox® and Dysport®
These injectable treatments temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases. Results are natural-looking and typically last three to four months.
Dermal Fillers
Fillers such as Juvéderm® restore lost volume, smooth deep wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Popular treatment areas include the lips, cheeks, and jawline.
Microneedling
This minimally invasive treatment stimulates collagen production by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The result is improved texture, tone, and firmness.
Chemical Peels and DiamondGlow™
For patients struggling with uneven skin tone, acne scars, or sun damage, treatments such as chemical peels or DiamondGlow™ facials can resurface the skin and promote a radiant complexion.
Laser and Light-Based Treatments
Our practice also offers advanced light and laser treatments, including Forever Bare BBL, which improve skin clarity, reduce pigmentation, and stimulate collagen production.
Combining Procedures for Optimal Results
Often, the best results come from a combination of treatments. For example, a patient may choose eyelid surgery to address drooping lids while adding Botox to soften forehead lines. Others may combine dermal fillers with skin rejuvenation treatments for a comprehensive refresh without surgery.
During your consultation, our surgeons use tools like Vectra 3D Imaging to help you visualize potential outcomes and design a plan tailored to your goals.
