Cosmetic Facial Plastic Surgery in Miami
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Dr. Christopher Craft is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a strong eye for facial aesthetics. At his award-winning Miami practice, he focuses on two popular procedures with outstanding powers of transformation: eyelid surgery and chin implants. Patients who are interested in rejuvenating their eyes or adding definition to their jaw love Dr. Craft’s expertise and attention to detail.

Eyelid Surgery
The eyes are the first feature many people look at, so it makes sense that so many patients are interested in giving their eyelids a transformation. Aging can dull not only the attractiveness of the eyes, but also the youthful energy that the eyes project. Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the face by helping the eyes to look several years younger.
Eyelid surgery is broken into two categories: upper and lower. Upper eyelid surgery focuses on the loose forehead skin and fat that amass just above the eyes. The weight from that skin pushes down on the upper eyelid, making the eyelid look droopy. By excising this skin, the eyelid should be able to open fully again for a more youthful appearance.
Lower eyelid surgery deals with the skin beneath the eye. Commonly hollows or “bags” form on this area, leaving people looking tired even when that is not the case. By removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin there, Dr. Craft can produce a more youthful, attractive and rested face.
Blepharoplasty ranks as one of the three most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States. It is requested by men and women alike. Incisions for this surgery are placed along the natural folds of the eyelid so that scarring is virtually unnoticeable.

Chin Implant
Having a strong jawline is considered an attractive trait, but not everyone is blessed with this feature. Enhancing the chin with an implant adds definition to the face. By mirroring the proportions of the nose, it can also restore facial balance and harmony.
The implant is usually composed of silicone, a material that is flexible and feels natural beneath the skin. To insert the implant, Dr. Craft will make a subtle incision either inside the mouth or just beneath the chin. He will create just enough space so that the implant can rest against the chin bone. The procedure can be performed under general or local anesthesia and is typically completed in under one hour.
Chin augmentation results are natural-looking and long-lasting. It is common for the chin implant to stay in place for the rest of the patient’s life. The procedure is most popular among men who want to create a sharp, chiseled jawline. However, women sometimes choose chin implants to correct a weak or recessed chin, or to minimize the appearance of a double chin.
