Surgical Rejuvenation

Your journey to cosmetic enhancement begins at Gentisse with a private consultation to discuss facial or hand rejuvenation. During your consultation, Dr. van Gent will examine you and discuss her recommendations for the best type of procedures to benefit you.  You will meet with the doctor for approximately 45 minutes, ample time to learn about the many options available to help you achieve your goals. Expect quality information with a personal touch – not a sales pitch.

The following procedures are listed in brief.  Dr. van Gent's photographs of her own patients are linked to each.  For more information, please visit The American Society of Plastic Surgery.

Eye Surgery (Blepharoplasty):

This surgery is performed on the upper eyelids and lower area under the eyes. Dr. van Gent removes excess fat and skin to correct droopy eyelids and/or puffy bags under the eyes.  Sometimes the outer corner of the eye is tightened as well.

 

Facelift (Rhytidectomy): 

Corrects sagging cheek, jowl and neck tissues, renewing a youthful natural appearance. A full facelift involves removing and re-draping loose skin and tightening or repositioning the muscles and fat of the face and neck.

Mini-Facelift: 

Improves sagging facial tissues to a more youthful appearance.  Dr. van Gent re-drapes skin and tightens the muscles of the cheeks and jawline only, resulting in a shorter scar than full facelift.

 

Forehead Lift (Browlift): 

Excess tissue is removed and muscles are altered to smooth the forehead skin, elevate drooping eyebrows, improve frown lines and reduce hooding over the eyes.

Fat Grafting: 

This procedure can be performed on most areas of the face and backs of the hands, filling hollows and depressions. Renews a sunken facial appearance, contours the jawline, mouth area, and most other facial areas and restores youthful fullness to the hands.  Results last for years.

Liposuction: 

Mechanically removes excess fat in facial or neck surgery. Enhances jaw line by contouring jowls and neck,  and eliminates fatty fullness under the chin. 

Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty):

Reshaping of the nose to change the shape or definition, reduce or increase the size, narrow the span of nostrils, remove humps or change the angle between the nose and lips.

Facial Implants:

Dr. van Gent improves the balance of the face using carefully shaped implants. These implants can include a chin implant for the receding chin or malar implants to add prominence to the front of cheekbones.

Surgical Dermabrasion: 

Softens acne scars , surface irregularities and wrinkles  through mechanical exfoliation of the deeper layers of the skin. This is most often used to soften lines around the mouth and lips.

Otoplasty or Ear Surgery:

Sets prominent ears closer to the head. Ear surgery is also performed by Dr. van Gent to reduce the size of the earlobes or to repair stretched pierced ear holes.
