Hair Transplant

Losing hair, at any age, is a psychologically challenging process. Some people lose their hair rapidly and others lose it slowly over time.

While it may seem hopeless at times, there are treatment options that can help. Advanced hair restoration is available for men and women. Visit LinkovHair website for more information about advanced hair loss treatments.

Lip Surgery

Lip lift is an in-office surgical procedure performed that is aimed to shorten the space between the nose and the top of the lip.

This surgical procedure increases the amount of lip that is visible, making the lips look fuller and more pronounced.

Lip Surgery

Nose / Rhinoplasty

Surgical procedure aimed at changing the shape of your nose. Even though rhinoplasty is one of the most popular surgeries worldwide, it is not exclusively a cosmetic procedure. It also aims to improve and maintain the nasal function if the patient has a reduced airflow.

Eyes

Your eyes say so much about you. If the message they are sending is that you are tired, upset or older than you feel, you can easily change it. Aging and genetics both impact the way our eyes and brows look.

Eyes

Ears

Ear plastic surgery refers to making structural changes to the skin and often cartilage of the outer (external) ear. It is a type of cosmetic ear surgery that focuses on form and function. Other types of ear surgery may address deeper structures of the ears, more involved in hearing.

Ears

Face & Neck

Your face tells a story, even when you never say a word. Lines around your eyes or mouth and drooping skin on your jowls or neck can age you. Bags under the eyes can tell the world you are old and tired, even when you feel young and energetic.

Philosophy

“The pillars of my approach to facial plastic surgery are communication and personalization. I try to get to the root of what is bothering you about a specific feature. Sometimes it is an obvious problem and fix, but many times a subtle feature may cause a significant concern. My job is to help you look and feel your best. I offer the latest techniques and treatments and stay at the cutting edge of facial plastic surgery. I try to be as minimally invasive as possible while still bringing you to your desired appearance. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your facial aesthetic goals.”
