Houston Eye Lid Procedures – Blepharoplasty

Over time, the appearance of your eyes may change taking away from what you once considered one of your most attractive features. Eyelid puffiness, wrinkles, and bags are a telltale sign of age. You don’t have to live with these visual signs of aging. Eye lid surgery or Blepharoplasty, can be used to reverse some of these visual signs of aging.

Removing bags, puffiness, and excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids, eyelid surgery can be combined with laser or chemical resurfacing to tighten skin, eliminate dark circles, and smooth crow’s feet. When eye lid surgery  is accompanied by an eyebrow or forehead lift, eyes take on a more “open’”appearance. The combination of these procedures can eliminate sagging eyebrows and lessen visible forehead wrinkles.

More than many other features, the eyes have a tremendous impact on the appearance of the face. Dr. Lyos is skilled in the realm of eyelid surgery and is available to provide you with the treatment you desire.

Houston Rhinoplasty

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose you may want to consider Houston Rhinoplasty. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Lyos can improve a number of aesthetic and functional imperfections of the nose using nose surgery. Using rhinoplasty, Dr. Lyos can create a smaller or larger nose, change the shape of the tip of the nose, remove bumps from the bridge of the nose and so much more. Our nose is the focal point of our face. A nose that is misshaped can interrupt the balance of the facial features. Nose surgery can restore that balance and improve breathing if there are structural issues blocking the airway path.

If you would like to discuss how rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of your nose, contact our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lyos.

Houston Liposuction

The shape of our figures are largely predetermined by our genetics. This means that our bodies are designed to gain and hold on to weight in specific areas. While some lucky people seem to gain weight in all the right places, most of us only seem to gain weight in less desirable areas. When diet and exercise have failed to achieve the results you desire, you may become a good candidate for Houston Liposuction.

Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment, but rather a procedure designed to excise localized pockets of fat. Liposuction can be performed on nearly any part of the body including, but not limited to: thighs, buttock, abdomen, breasts, arms, neck and jowls. To learn more about this procedure, view Dr. Lyos Liposuction patients before and after photos, or to schedule a consultation, contact our office today.

Houston Lip Enhancement – Full Lips

A plump pout is universally synonymous with youth, and has long been an icon of sensuality. Full, sensuous, pouty lips are recognized now more than ever as a key element to what we consider beautiful. Unfortunately, not everyone is born with the full lips they desire. Today, when it comes to lip augmentation, there have never been more options available to enhance what mother nature gave you. Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Lyos will help you determine which lip augmentation procedure is right for you.

Dr. Lyos uses Houston lip augmentation to create fuller, plumper lips and to reduce fine wrinkles around the mouth. Lips may be injected with Collagen or other materials such as Restylane, or with fat transferred from another site in the patient’s body. Both liquid collagen and fat are absorbed and repeat treatments are necessary to maintain results. There is no one method that is better for all patients than another. A consultation with Dr. Lyos will help you understand the differences and determine which procedure is best for you.

Houston Body Lift Procedures

Every year thousands of men and women hit the gym in effort to burn off their holiday weight. Unfortunately not everyone will achieve the results they desire. For men and women interested in changing the shapes of their bodies, particularly the lower body, Dr. Lyos has found that Houston body lift surgery is effective in producing slimmer more toned lower bodies.

Lower body lift surgery generally results in a smoother skin texture as well as a more youthful, slimmer appearance. In general, the surgery involves the removal of fat and a re-suspension of the skin and soft tissues. Liposuction is often used in conjunction with body lift surgery to produce optimal results.

Don’t let the lack of results from traditional diet and exercise discourage you from the body of your dreams. Contact our office to schedule a confidential consultation with Dr. Lyos and be on your way to a slimmer, more proportioned you.
