Facial surgeries

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly called a nose job, is a transformative procedure that addresses aesthetic or functional concerns of the nose. Dr. Brace performs rhinoplasty with great attention to detail, sculpting and reshaping the nose to achieve balance and harmony among the natural facial features. Whether correcting a deviated septum or refining the shape and size of the nose, rhinoplasty can create a natural and aesthetically pleasing facial profile.

Facelift

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a powerful procedure to rejuvenate the lower face and neck. Dr. Brace utilizes advanced techniques to lift and reposition facial tissues, reducing the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. The facelift restores a more youthful contour and definition to the jawline and neck, resulting in a refreshed and revitalized facial appearance. Dr. Brace employs the most refined surgical techniques, offering the deep plane facelift for a very natural outcome, not pulled or overdone as can be seen with older techniques.

Neck lift

A neck lift targets the signs of aging in the neck area, such as loose skin and muscle banding. Dr. Brace expertly tightens and reshapes the neck tissues, improving the appearance of jowls and creating a smoother, defined jawline. A neck lift can be combined with a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and a harmonious overall result.

Brow lift

A brow lift, or forehead lift, addresses forehead creases and drooping eyebrows. Dr. Brace uses specialized techniques to lift and reposition the eyebrows, resulting in a more alert and youthful eye appearance. With a brow lift, patients achieve a smoother and refreshed forehead, reducing the appearance of frown lines and achieving a more open and approachable facial expression.

Forehead or hairline lowering

Forehead and hairline lowering, also known as hairline advancement, is a transformative procedure that lowers the hairline to create a more balanced and proportionate forehead. Dr. Brace performs this procedure meticulously, carefully lowering the hairline while concealing incisions within the hairline or natural creases. Forehead or hairline lowering can be an ideal solution for patients seeking to correct a high or receding hairline and achieve a more harmonious facial appearance.

Eyelid surgery

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, targets signs of aging around the eyes, such as drooping eyelids and under-eye bags. Dr. Brace skillfully removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids, creating a more alert and refreshed eye appearance. Eyelid surgery can dramatically rejuvenate the eyes, restoring a brighter and more youthful look to the entire face.

Chin augmentation

Chin augmentation, or genioplasty, is a transformative procedure aimed at enhancing the balance and proportion of the face by improving the chin's size and projection. Dr. Matthew D. Brace carefully tailors chin implants or performs advanced bone reshaping techniques to achieve a harmonious facial profile. Whether addressing a weak or recessed chin or correcting asymmetry, chin augmentation can significantly enhance the overall facial aesthetics, creating a more defined and attractive jawline.

Buccal fat removal

Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the fullness of the cheeks and achieve a more sculpted facial appearance. Dr. Brace employs a minimally invasive technique to remove excess fat pads from the cheeks, enhancing facial contours and creating a slimmer, more contoured mid-face. This procedure is particularly suitable for patients seeking a subtle reduction in cheek fullness and achieving a more defined cheekbone structure.

Lip lift

A lip lift is an innovative procedure that enhances the appearance of the lips by shortening the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. Dr. Matthew D. Brace performs this procedure precisely, lifting and reshaping the upper lip to create a more youthful and balanced smile. The lip lift can improve lip proportions, reduce the appearance of a thin or elongated upper lip, and enhance the overall attractiveness of the mouth area.

Ear surgery

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, addresses aesthetic concerns related to the ears, such as protruding ears or ear deformities. Dr. Brace expertly repositions and reshapes the ears, achieving a more natural and balanced appearance. Whether to correct prominent ears or reduce ear size, otoplasty can significantly enhance facial symmetry and restore self-confidence.

Non-surgical facial treatments

At Guelph Facial Plastics, we understand that not all patients may be ready for or in need of surgical facial procedures. That's why we offer a range of non-surgical treatments that provide remarkable results with minimal downtime and no incisions. These non-surgical facial treatments are performed by Dr. Matthew D. Brace, a highly skilled facial surgery specialist who brings his expertise and artistic eye to each procedure.

BOTOX

BOTOX is a highly-effective injectable treatment that targets dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial muscle movements. With precise injections, Dr. Brace softens the appearance of frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles, creating a smoother and more relaxed facial appearance. BOTOX treatments are quick, virtually painless, and require minimal recovery time, making the treatment an ideal option for patients seeking a temporary solution to reduce the signs of aging.

Fillers

Dermal fillers are versatile injectable treatments that add volume and enhance facial contours, effectively smoothing wrinkles and restoring youthful plumpness. Dr. Matthew D. Brace skillfully uses a variety of Health Canada-approved fillers to address concerns such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and loss of cheek volume. With precise injections, patients can achieve natural-looking results, rejuvenating their appearance and restoring a more youthful facial contour.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty

For patients seeking a non-invasive solution to address minor imperfections in the nose, non-surgical rhinoplasty is an excellent option. Dr. Brace can strategically shape and contour the nose using dermal fillers, smoothing out bumps or uneven areas and achieving a more balanced and harmonious nasal profile. Non-surgical rhinoplasty offers immediate results with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it an appealing choice for patients seeking temporary nose enhancement without surgery.

Natural fat grafting

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a natural and innovative approach to add volume to the face and address signs of aging. During this non-surgical procedure, Dr. Brace carefully harvests excess fat from one area of the body, purifies it, and then injects it strategically into targeted facial areas, such as the cheeks, lips, or under-eye hollows. Fat grafting provides long-lasting results and improves facial contour and skin texture, as the patient's fat is used to restore youthful fullness and vibrancy.

Lip augmentation

Dermal fillers are a popular and effective method for lip augmentation, using hyaluronic acid-based fillers to add volume and shape to the lips. Dr. Matthew D. Brace skillfully injects dermal fillers into strategic points around the lips to achieve a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Whether you desire fuller lips, enhanced lip definition, or correction of asymmetry, dermal fillers can create the perfect balance and proportion to complement your facial features. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can plump, refine, and smooth vertical lip lines, a safe and reversible treatment.
