Procedures Overview

Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) surgery is designed to improve the appearance of the eyes by eliminating excess skin and tissue from the upper and lower eyelids. The benefits of this procedure include a brighter, more youthful, and alert appearance around the eyes.

A brow lift, also referred to as an “eyebrow lift” or “forehead lift,” reduces the lines between the eyes that cause a “furrowed brow.” This reduction is achieved by raising a sagging brow and addressing forehead laxity to provide a more attentive appearance.

Otoplasty (ear surgery) can realign protruding ears and improve their shape, position, and proportion. Ear surgery can correct issues that are apparent at birth or appear over time. It can also correct misshapen ears due to injury and reduce the size of extremely large ears (macrotia).

A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a procedure commonly performed to reduce and lift loose, sagging skin along your neck, jawline, and lower to midface region. It can also eliminate or significantly diminish deep creases and fine facial lines in that area.

Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. These lines develop due to repeated muscle movements, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines.

Dr. Thompson offers a complete range of dermal fillers so that he can fully customize your treatment. Each of these injectables target specific areas to rejuvenate your face, neck, or hands and reduce many signs of aging, including volume loss.

KYBELLA® is an injectable treatment that reduces submental fat (the double chin). This treatment helps dissolve unwanted fat beneath the chin for a more defined jawline appearance.

Genius RF microneedling combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production and improve upon already great skin rejuvenation results. This treatment creates micro-channels in the skin through which radiofrequency energy is directed. This process stimulates the body’s built-in healing response, producing new collagen and younger-looking skin.

Microneedling can be performed with or without PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to enhance treatment results. PRP is a growth-factor-rich derivative of your blood that stimulates cellular renewal.

The PRO-NOX™ pain management device is a patient-controlled, inhaled pain management system that delivers a combination of gases including nitrous oxide and oxygen through a sterile mouthpiece. This analgesic is fast-acting but quickly eliminated from the body. With PRO-NOX™, you will feel stable and clear enough to resume your daily activities shortly after your treatment.

Cellulite reduction with Cellfina™ is an innovative approach that targets the root cause of this annoying collection of fat. Cellfina™ severs the cellulite-causing connective bands throughout the thighs and buttocks to relieve the tension. This release allows the skin to smooth itself out and prevents the surface of the skin from dimpling for up to three years.

CoolSculpting® is an FDA-approved, non-invasive fat reduction procedure designed to destroy fat cells by lowering their temperature. This procedure can treat many areas at once, including the abdomen, thighs, flanks, back, and chin. There is no anesthetic, scarring, or downtime associated with this treatment.

CoolSculpting® goes a step further with CoolTone® by strengthening the underlying muscle layers to create a firmer, more defined body contour. This non-surgical procedure requires no incision, restrictions, or downtime.

Sciton® BBL™, BroadBand Light laser, Forever Bare BBL™, Forever Clear BBL™, and the Sciton® Halo™ address fine lines, enlarged pores, discoloration, poor skin texture, and unwanted body hair, along with other troubling skin flaws. An in-depth consultation will help you choose the best Sciton® option for the most favorable outcome.

The Thompson Center for Plastic Surgery offers a wide range of laser treatments. Some of our most popular laser procedures include intense pulsed light, laser resurfacing, and laser hair removal. These treatments address a wide range of skin concerns and will be custom-tailored to your needs.

The Thermi® platform offers a collection of radiofrequency treatments designed to tighten skin and tissues and melt unwanted fat. This process stimulates collagen remodeling with a specially designed thermistor-regulated handpiece. Usually requiring three to six treatments, Thermi® is safe and precise with no downtime.

Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment alternative available to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, and décolleté. This procedure stimulates collagen production in the deep structural support layers of your skin using ultrasound energy.

The Silhouette InstaLift™ combines the lifting of facial skin and tissue with a collagen-building treatment to provide excellent results that continue to improve over a few months, with minimal downtime.

Excessive underarm sweat poses a host of complications for men and women suffering from hyperhidrosis. Fortunately, miraDry® can help address this situation by permanently reducing sweat glands in the underarm, therefore minimizing changes of excess sweat and odor.
