Rhinoplasty
A well contoured nose brings all of the facial features into balance. Dr. Mark Mofid can alter the shape of the nose with plastic surgery so that it complements the natural beauty of the patient's face. There is no ideal nose for everyone. Therefore, this procedure is highly customized to each patient based on his or her expectations and Dr. Mofid's professional experience with patients sharing similar bone structure. Please schedule a free consultation at our San Diego practice to learn more about nose surgery. At this consultation, patients preview their new looks by working with Setara, Dr. Mofid's digital imaging specialist, to morph their photos and explore the possibilities for their new noses. Learn more about this procedure by visiting the page dedicated to rhinoplasty (nose surgery).
Facelift
Any facelift surgeon can make a patient's face look younger, but it takes an exceptionally gifted surgeon to make the face appear naturally youthful rather than cosmetically enhanced. Fortunately, Dr. Mark Mofid can achieve these natural-looking results for men and women seeking to revitalize their aging faces. During the first visit to Dr. Mofid's office, patients are given the opportunity to see the potential results of facelift surgery on their own faces with digital imaging technology. This software, available at Dr. Mofid's La Jolla-area office in San Diego, helps to predict each patient's facelift results. Facelift surgery is an excellent option for patients with wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Facelift surgery is performed through two incisions above the hairline on either side of the head. Depending on what each patient needs from facelift surgery, Dr. Mofid may remove fat and/or separate or tighten facial muscles. Once finished, the patient's face will be smoother and firmer, with fewer of the creases, wrinkles, and bags caused by sagging skin.
Each facelift procedure is fully customized to the patient, as all patients age differently and require individualized treatment to look their best. The scars from the incisions will be hidden underneath the patient's hair for a completely natural-looking result. Please contact plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Mofid at his practice serving the La Jolla and greater San Diego area for a facelift consultation. Consultations are free of charge and can help the patient understand the possible results of facelift surgery.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
The revolutionary BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is available at Dr. Mark Mofid's office, serving San Diego and surrounding areas. BOTOX® Cosmetic has achieved international fame for its ability to reduce the prominence of frown lines between the brows as well as other signs of facial aging. An experienced facial plastic surgeon understands facial anatomy and is aware of the importance of achieving a natural result.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a 10-minute treatment that involves a few tiny injections in specific areas of the face. The injections will be administered in spots that are chosen based on the location of each patient's frown lines and his or her ability to move the underlying facial muscles. Discomfort is minimal and there is no recovery time associated with BOTOX® injections. Patients are generally quite happy with their results – nearly 90 percent of patients who receive BOTOX® Cosmetic note improvements in their appearances. These improvements can last up to four months.
In his offices in San Diego, Dr. Mofid provides BOTOX® Cosmetic along with numerous other facial treatments. Patients who wish to learn more about BOTOX® injections or are interested in combining BOTOX® Cosmetic with other anti-aging facial treatments are invited to speak with Dr. Mark Mofid or dermatologist Dr. Mona Z. Mofid at a consultation.
Injectable Fillers
If aging has caused the face to develop lines, wrinkles, or a hollow appearance, Dr. Mark Mofid can alleviate these aesthetic problems with injectable fillers. Dr. Mofid offers a variety of injectable fillers at his plastic surgery practice. Depending on the needs of each patient, Dr. Mofid will recommend one of the following fillers: Artefill®, Restylane®, Juvéderm™, Radiesse™, or Cosmoplast™. Each patient is advised to visit Dr. Mofid personally for a anti-aging consultation to determine which of these fillers suits his or her needs best.
Eyelid Surgery
The eyelids compose just a small area of the body, but they can drastically alter your overall appearance. Droopy eyelids and bags below the eyes can greatly contribute to a perpetually tired or angry-looking appearance. Dr. Mark Mofid can surgically remove excess tissue from the upper and lower eyelids to restore a firm and youthful look to the eye area. The incisions used to make the necessary surgical modifications will be hidden in the eyelids' natural creases. Overall, the results of eyelid surgery are remarkably dramatic. Eyelid surgery patients look younger and more revitalized after surgery and are generally very pleased with their results.
Browlift
The browlift, also known as a forehead lift or brow lift, is a procedure that restores youthful smoothness to the area above the eyes. Dr. Mark Mofid alters the browlift procedure based on the individual needs of each patient. In many cases, he corrects drooping brows and reduces creases in the forehead area. Browlift incisions are made above the hairline in the middle of the head rather than on the sides as in a facelift. A smooth and lifted brow area can make a patient look significantly younger without lending an unnatural look to the face. Patients who would like a digital imaging preview of how they will look after browlift surgery may contact Dr. Mark Mofid's plastic surgery practice for a free browlift consultation.
Lip Augmentation
Full lips signify youth and sensuality. It is now possible to add volume to the lips temporarily or permanently with lip augmentation by Dr. Mark Mofid. Lip enlargement not only enhances the lips but also reduces the prominence of fine lines and wrinkles surrounding the mouth. Depending on patient preferences and desired results, Dr. Mofid will recommend which filler material should be implanted into the lips. This material is injected or implanted to achieve the effect desired, whether it be subtle or dramatic. The variety of filler materials available makes this procedure easily customizable to patients' unique aesthetic goals.
Chin Implants
A strong chin complements the face by adding balance and forming an attractive contour. These qualities greatly improve the aesthetics of the profile by making the nose appear less prominent on the face. Dr. Mark Mofid selects the proper location for placement and the shape of the implant to be used based on the patient's specifications and facial features. The chin implant incision is placed either inside the mouth along the lower lip or in the skin underneath the chin area. Men and women who would like to see what they would look like with chin implants are invited to visit the practice of Dr. Mofid for a free consultation and digital imaging session. Schedule an appointment today to learn more about chin implants by Dr. Mofid.
Otoplasty
Men, women, and even children need not suffer from the teasing and self-consciousness associated with prominent ears. A procedure known as otoplasty can correct ears that stick out and, if necessary, can reduce the size of large ears. Dr. Mark Mofid makes a small incision behind the ear through which he shapes and bends the cartilage so that the ears sit more closely to the head. Ears that stick out, large ears, lopped or cupped ears, and shell ears may all be corrected with plastic surgery. Incisions can usually be placed behind the ears or in other places where any scars will be inconspicuous.
Facial Fat Grafting
Facial fat grafting is an extremely effective method for creating a more youthful facial appearance. In this procedure, the patient's own fat is extracted from the buttocks, abdomen, saddle bags, or some other area where it will not be missed. Dr. Mark Mofid then injects the extracted fat into areas of the face where fat has been lost in the aging process. Dr. Mofid's experience and artistry enable him to improve the appearance of a long and gaunt face, an asymmetrical face, or sunken eyes or cheeks. Dr. Mofid listens carefully to each patient to understand his or her concerns fully and then applies his extensive knowledge to achieving the aesthetic results desired. Because the patient's own natural fat is used in facial fat grafting, side effects are minimal and the results are natural-looking. Frequently, patients of Dr. Mofid choose to combine this procedure with facelift surgery for complete anti-aging makeovers.
Neck Liposuction
A fleshy neck with excess fat can make even the thinnest man or woman appear overweight. This phenomenon results from the fact that the face and neck region is the most frequently looked at area on the body. Dr. Mark Mofid can remove excess fat from the neck to eliminate a double chin. Because this simple procedure has such a dramatic impact, patients often receive compliments on their weight loss even though their necks are the only areas that have been treated. Please visit Dr. Mofid's office in San Diego to learn more about neck liposuction and undergo a digital imaging session with his cosmetic coordinator.
