No doubt that’s because the procedure is so versatile. We can help you get rid of unwanted or excessive hair virtually anywhere on your body, in tiny places such as earlobes or bigger areas such as your back.

As the name implies, a deep plane facelift goes further beneath the surface to lift underlying tissues that give structure to the “planes” of your face. This procedure addresses more of the mid-face and cheek areas than other facelift options, so Dr. Jeffrey Raval, MD, MBA, FACS generally recommends it instead of a traditional SMAS facelift. However, he can also use deep plane techniques with a mini-lift.

There are many things to like about laser skin treatments, but perhaps one of the best is the fact that you can start seeing results right away. No waiting around for post-surgical bruising or swelling to go away, or stitches to come out. For the impatient among us -- and who isn’t anxious to see those great new results as soon as soon as possible?! -- laser skin treatments are a dream come true.

You’ve made the decision to get a septoplasty. Goodbye, deviated septum! What a relief to know that, soon, you’ll be able to breathe normally, through your nose! No more snuffling, snoring, headaches, or other daily challenges that only someone else with a deviated septum can truly understand.

You already know what dermal fillers can do to restore a natural-looking, more youthful appearance to your face. But did you know we can use some of those same fillers to renew the appearance of your hands as well? It’s true. Now, you can have hands that “match” your face when it comes to looking as healthy and young as you feel.

It is essential to do your homework if you’re considering a facelift, because medical knowledge and techniques are constantly evolving. After all, if you’re going to have surgery, you want the latest (and greatest). Facelifts have come a long, long way since the days of tight, unnatural looking results.

The whole point of getting a facelift is to look different, right? Still you, but more youthful. Refreshed. More vibrant. Healthier looking. A facelift does alter your face, at least to some degree. So could those improvements have an unintended downside? What if your phone no longer recognizes you?

You may have heard or read any number of things about what you should – or should not – do after getting Botox or dermal filler injections. Of course you want to do everything you can to make the most of your treatment. But with so much information and opinion out there, it can be hard to separate facts from fiction.

At Raval Facial Aesthetics and ENT, our philosophy is “less is more.” With today’s advanced medical knowledge and techniques, Dr. Jeffrey Raval, MD, MBA, FACS can make smaller changes that achieve big results in keeping your face looking vibrant and youthful. However, sometimes he has to go deeper to achieve the best possible results. That’s where a deep plane facelift comes in.

Who would have imagined a generation ago (or even more recently) that you could enjoy a significant “lift” in facial appearance without ever undergoing surgery? Boy, how times have changed . . . and, boy, are we glad! While there are still times when a bit of surgery is just what the doctor ordered, far less invasive alternatives such as a liquid facelift can be surprisingly (and subtly) effective.
