We all want to put our best face forward. Sometimes, though, as a result of the natural aging process, our "best" face falls short of our expectations. A facelift can dramatically improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat and tightening muscles and skin of the face and neck. Other facial surgical procedures offered by Plastic Surgery Specialists include rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, brow lift, chin augmentation, ear surgery, and nonsurgical procedures such as laser skin resurfacing, BOTOX® Cosmetic, or dermal fillers.

If you feel self-conscious about those diet- and exercise-resistant bulges on your body, liposuction can help. The doctors at Plastic Surgery Specialists use advanced ultrasound liposuction technology to help you achieve a smoother, slimmer contour. The surgeons also perform other body-contouring procedures, including abdominoplasty or a complete "mommy makeover."

Beautiful breasts can make women feel more attractive and self-confident. The surgeons of Plastic Surgery Specialists in Annapolis, Maryland recognize how important your breasts are to your self-image, so they take the time to listen to your concerns and customize a plan to meet your needs.

Breast procedures are not for women alone. Men who have excess tissue in their chest area can also feel extremely self-conscious. For these patients, the practice offers male breast reduction to help them regain their self-confidence.
