FACIAL PROCEDURES
Options for Plastic Surgery of the Face in Chicago
Aging is inevitable, but you don’t have to look your age. Your face is likely the first thing people see when they look at you, which means it’s also something in particular they remember about you. Knowing that, if there is something you don’t like about how you look, you won’t be able to put your best face forward! As a facial plastic surgeon, Chicago’s Lawrence Iteld, MD, understands that your face is often the first place that shows signs of aging.
The way we age (including the fact that some people look younger or older than their friends and peers) is determined by a variety of factors. Genetics play a big part in this process—and some people are just lucky. Signs of aging can be accelerated by exposure to harmful elements such as cigarette smoke, sun, wind, and significant weight changes or weight fluctuations. Regardless of the cause, Dr. Iteld’s goal as a facial plastic surgeon is to achieve balance, rejuvenation, and natural-looking outcomes in all facial procedures.

Your Plastic Surgeon’s Role
Dr. Iteld is renowned as a skilled plastic surgeon for his strong knowledge of facial anatomy and expertise in procedures such as facelifts, neck lifts, brow lifts, blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty.
He is a plastic surgeon who provides cosmetic surgery that enhances a patient’s physical facial features for cosmetic reasons, to improve function (as with droopy eyelids that impede vision or a nose with airway-impeding internal structures), or both. Procedures include surgery for the full range of facial features, including the mouth and its surrounding area, nose, eyelids, forehead, and neck.
Patients might choose Dr. Iteld with the goal of altering a feature that’s looked a certain way their whole life, reversing signs of aging, addressing contour irregularities due to weight gain or loss, or balancing facial proportions. The most important step you should take if you’re considering such a procedure is to meet with Dr. Iteld to discuss goals, alternatives, and the benefits of different types of plastic surgery.

Facial Procedure Options
As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Iteld provides advanced techniques to help patients achieve optimal results from a variety of cosmetic procedures, including:
Facelift
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is designed to rejuvenate an aging face and restore a more youthful, balanced appearance. Dr. Iteld lifts and tightens sagging skin in the lower third to achieve elevated and better-defined contours. When the skin is lifted and pulled back, it creates a tighter or smoother look.
Neck Lift
Some of the most common signs of aging develop in the neck, including loose skin, wrinkles, vertical muscle bands, and fat deposits. The appearance of the neck changes as a result of aging, sun exposure, and other stressors. A neck lift allows plastic surgeon Dr. Iteld to remove the excess skin and address the other visible signs of aging in the jaw and neck areas.
Brow Lift
With a brow lift, plastic surgeon Dr. Iteld can reposition a drooping forehead and address deep creases or sagging brows. The tissue is elevated to create a younger, rejuvenated look.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is a technique Dr. Iteld uses to address sagging eyelids through the removal of excess skin, muscle, and sagging tissue. The result is a more awake and interested appearance, as well as the correction of vision previously obscured by low-hanging lids.
Rhinoplasty
As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Iteld can alter the shape, size, angles, and proportions of your nose, improve its symmetry, and balance its appearance with other facial features via rhinoplasty. This surgery can address specific concerns patients have for their bridge, nostrils, or nose tip, as well as help with breathing challenges that result from congenital structural problems and trauma.
