Facial Procedures

Facelifts are one of the most requested surgeries at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, and the techniques/procedure have consistently evolved over the years. If you are delaying a desired facelift because you remember your mom’s or grandma’s facelift in the 1990s, don’t worry. The standard approach at that time was to simply trim away excess skin and “pull” the face up (thus the windswept look). Incisions at that time left scars that...

Two is usually better than one, especially when it comes to cosmetic treatments. For instance, Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center and Parson Skin Center provide two-in-one clinical services, including surgical and non-surgical solutions. Sometimes mixing and matching between the two provide the best results because there are limitations with every procedure. If you’re thinking about cosmetic surgery, whether it's a tummy tuck, breast implants, or facelift, there’s a good chance that the...

Many people come to Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center rightfully thinking that a facelift lifts, well, the entire face. The name is a bit of a misnomer. A facelift actually only addresses sagging skin on the lower half of the face and the neck. That’s right—a neck lift is part of a facelift, but lifting the upper part of the face is not. However, you can add an eyelid lift to a...

Two is better than one when it comes to combination treatments. Parson Skin Center has all the treatments you need to take your look to the next level. For example, microneedling and HydraFacial is the perfect couple, complementing one another so you get the most of each treatment. Microneedling should always come first because it creates micro-channels in the skin that won’t be open for long. This is a decades-old treatment for collagen induction that...

As Kelly Clarkson said, “Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this—” but you don’t need to wait at all to get your hands on these perfect pairs! Parson Skin Center offers you the best in non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. Two is always better than one when you opt for treatments that complement one another. Take your results to the next level when you double down, such as teaming up microneedling and...

The term “facelift” is a bit of a misnomer. Even a full facelift (compared to a mini lift) only fixes skin laxity and aging on the lower half of the face and the neck. By the time most people are good candidates for a full or mini facelift, they are also experiencing signs of aging around the eyes such as sagging, dropping, bags, and excess wrinkles. That’s why many patients at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic...

A facelift is one of the first facial anti-aging procedures many people consider. It is also one of the most-requested procedures at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, but in reality a singular plastic surgery is rarely the best solution for a patient. Although the term “facelift” might suggest that it addresses laxity on the entire face, that is not the case. A facelift and mini lift strictly fix skin sagging and signs...

“How much does a facelift cost?” It’s one of the first questions asked during a consultation for the popular procedure at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center and the answer is going to depend on your skin’s condition and whether you’re a better match for a full facelift or a mini facelift. However, the answer will not be $200,000—but it might be in New York. The New York Times recently reported that one...

As more and more mask mandates are lifted, it’s time to reveal your face for the first time in two years—is it sending the message you’d like? Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center has seen an influx in requests for facelifts since the onset of the pandemic. First, it was in part due to spending hours every day staring at yourself in a screen. Now, more patients are saying it’s because they no...

Yes, “plastic surgery” is an outdated term and we are all about shifting to “cosmetic surgery” at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. But why did the whole “plastic” concept get started anyway? Most think it’s because many people have long assumed that breast implants are made with plastic—which isn’t technically true (as anyone who has felt breast implants can attest). Breast implants are, and have always been, made with either silicone or...
