Facial Rejuvenation

Face Lift

A face lift goes beyond just tightening the skin. It restores the face to a more youthful appearance. Our goal is to create a more refreshed, natural looking you.

Dr. Barker brings his unique experience from Los Angeles and New York City to Chattanooga, Tennessee.

While each facial plastic surgeon has their own variation on a face lift, Dr. Barker's philosophy is to customize facial rejuvenation based on your specific needs. The result of this approach will be a natural and more youthful you.

Who is a good candidate for a face lift?
Candidates for a face lift should be motivated to look younger for the right reasons. You will need time to recover from surgery and someone to help you with the recovery process. We can provide you with a nurse to help with some of the care after surgery.

How is the surgery performed?
There are a number of different procedures and approaches. During your consultation, Dr. Barker will determine which surgical approach will give you the best results. A typical procedure involves several incisions that are performed to minimize any scarring.

This procedure is performed while you are asleep at an accredited surgery center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Neck Lift

A neck lift can help improve the appearance of your neck. Each procedure is tailored to each patient's individual needs. Like a face lift, the neck-lift has many variations. It is common to combine a neck lift with other procedures such as a face lift or liposuction. The goal of the neck lift is to create a more harmonious, natural looking result.

Who is a good candidate for a neck-lift?
Good candidates have sagging skin under the chin or separation of the platysma muscle leading to vertical bands in the front of the neck. Dr. Barker will examine your neck and discuss the underlying problems that would be addressed with a neck-lift.

How is the surgery performed?
The surgery is performed through several incisions and the underlying tissue is tightened to create a more youthful neck. Attention to detail is important, and Dr. Barker will discuss with you an approach that minimizes scarring and results in a more youthful neck.

The length of recovery depends on the types of procedures that you have done. This procedure is performed while you are asleep at an accredited surgery center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Brow Lift

The effects of squinting, sun damage, time, and gravity results in a loss of forehead elasticity and drooping brows. This causes some patients to look angry or tired. The muscles that move the brow may become overly strong creating permanent wrinkles. To counteract this effect, a minimally invasive surgery or brow lift can be performed.

This procedure is performed while you are asleep in the operating room. Recovery is typically short and patients have immediate improvement in the brow position resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Who is a good candidate for a brow lift?
Good candidates for a brow lift have brows that sag down over the eye. This can result in a tired or angry appearance. This procedure can also be used in conjunction with blepharoplasty to improve the appearance of the eyes.

Types of brow lift surgical solutions include:

• Endoscopic brow lift
• Traditional brow lift

How is the surgery performed?
During your consultation, Dr. Barker will determine which surgical approach will give you the best results. Typically we use the endoscopic brow lift. This uses the latest technology to improve the brows. This technique decreases numbness and results in a shorter recover time. This procedure is performed while you are asleep at an accredited surgery center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Cheek Lift

Over time the cheeks descend giving a hollowed and flat look to the face. We offer several non-surgical and surgical treatments that restore the cheeks to a youthful and full appearance.

Who is a good candidate for a cheek-lift?
Sagging cheeks are very common, but not always noticed by the patient. Sagging of the cheeks can lead to a sunken appearance under the eyes. Many patients look tired or prematurely aged as a result of this sagging. This is a very common component of aging that can be addressed through several approaches.

How is the surgery performed?
During your consultation, Dr. Barker will determine which surgical approach will give you the best results. There are surgical and non-surgical methods of cheek rejuvenation. Sometimes a combination of these approaches is the best.

Lifting the cheek with surgery results in long-lasting improvements. The surgery is brief and typically done while you are asleep. Recovery is typically quick and the procedure rarely causes bruising. This procedure is performed while you are asleep at an accredited surgery center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
