Upper blepharoplasty is an aesthetic procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance and function of the upper eyelids. As we age, excess skin and fat can accumulate, leading to drooping eyelids that create a tired look and may even obstruct vision.
This surgery involves the removal of excess skin and sometimes also fat pads to restore a youthful, alert appearance and improve peripheral vision. Suitable for both men and women, upper blepharoplasty can significantly boost confidence and improve overall facial harmony. The procedure is safe and effective, offering lasting results for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance.

It’s essential to communicate your expectations clearly. The surgeon will explain the procedure, potential risks, and the recovery process, as well as determine if you are a suitable candidate for upper blepharoplasty. Detailed facial photographs may be taken to plan the surgery effectively. The primary goal of blepharoplasty is to achieve a natural and rejuvenated appearance that enhances the eyes while maintaining the patient's unique facial characteristics.
Upper blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia. The procedure involves making incisions in the natural folds of the eyelids to minimize visible scarring. These scars will be hidden when your eyes are open. Excess skin, fat, and any necessary muscle are removed to create a smoother and more youthful eyelid contour. The surgery generally lasts about 45 minutes to one hour. Combining upper and lower blepharoplasty can effectively restore a youthful appearance, providing patients the convenience of undergoing both procedures in one session, thus minimizing postoperative recovery time and enhancing overall results, as it is often more beneficial to address both areas simultaneously.
Post-operative recovery usually involves some swelling and bruising, which can last for one to two weeks. Stay home from work and limit your social activities for few days after surgery to allow your eyelids to heal is recommended. Most people can be back to their social life after 10 days, however few months are needed to appreciate the final result. A detailed postoperative plan will be given. Pain relief can be managed with pain killers, and follow-up visits will help monitor healing.
Results from upper blepharoplasty can be seen within a one or two months as swelling subsides, revealing a more alert and youthful appearance. Patients often enjoy improved confidence and a refreshed look that enhances their overall facial aesthetics. The results typically last for many years, contributing to a long-term rejuvenation.

Lower blepharoplasty is an aesthetic surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the lower eyelids. As we age, the skin around the eyes can lose elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging, puffiness, and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Bags under eyes become evident when the tissues supporting your eyelids weaken due to the aging process. These changes can contribute to a tired or aged appearance, which may affect self-esteem. Lower blepharoplasty addresses these concerns by removing excess skin and fat bags, resulting in smoother lower eyelids. This procedure not only rejuvenates the eyes but can also restore a youthful and refreshed overall look, helping to improve facial harmony.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Giunta will thoroughly evaluate your lower eyelids, considering skin elasticity, muscle tone, and any excess fat or skin. You will discuss your specific aesthetic goals, allowing for a collaborative treatment approach. Not every patient is a good candidate for lower blepharoplasty. He will explain the available techniques. A personalized surgical plan will be created, detailing the selected techniques, expected recovery timeline, and potential risks, ensuring you are well-informed about the procedure and outcomes.
Lower blepharoplasty is generally performed under local anesthesia. The procedure begins with dr. Giunta making incisions either inside the lower eyelid or just below the lash line, which helps to minimize scarring. Excess fat and skin are then removed or repositioned to create a smoother, more youthful contour. The surgery usually takes one to two hours. Combining lower and upper blepharoplasty can effectively restore a youthful appearance, providing patients the convenience of undergoing both procedures in one session, thus minimizing postoperative recovery time and enhancing overall results, as it is often more beneficial to address both areas simultaneously.
Stay home from work and limit your social activities for several days after surgery to allow your eyelids to heal is recommended. Most people can be back to their social life after 10 to 14 days, however few months are needed to appreciate the final result. Patients are advised to rest, apply cold compresses, and avoid strenuous activities during this time. A detailed postoperative plan will be given. Pain can typically be managed with prescribed medications.
Final results become visible as swelling subsides, usually within 1 month, however the final result will need 3 months to be evident and definitive. Patients often experience a significant improvement in their appearance, with smoother, youthful lower eyelids that enhance their overall facial aesthetics.

A brow lift is an aesthetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the forehead, brow, and upper eyelids by raising drooping brows. As we age, the eyebrows may sag, leading to an expression that conveys fatigue or anger. A brow lift effectively repositions the tissues and muscles of the forehead, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed, and alert appearance.
This procedure is often sought by individuals looking to enhance their facial aesthetics and restore a youthful contour to the upper face. A brow lift can be performed alone or with other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as blepharoplasties or a face lift.
During the initial consultation, Dr. Giunta will evaluate your forehead and brow area while discussing your aesthetic goals and concerns. A detailed medical history will be taken to assess your suitability for surgery, considering factors like skin elasticity, age, and any underlying medical conditions. The surgeon will explain the different brow lift techniques, such as the traditional coronal lift, endoscopic brow lift, direct brow lift or temporal brow lift, and their associated benefits and risks. Together, you will outline a personalized surgical plan, which may include recommendations for complementary procedures, such as eyelid surgery, to achieve a harmonious outcome.
A brow lift is typically performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The surgical approach depends on the chosen technique. In an endoscopic brow lift, small incisions are made behind the hairline, allowing for minimal scarring and a quicker recovery, in a traditional brow lift, a longer incision is made across the forehead, while in the direct technique the incision will be above the eyebrows. The surgeon will then reposition the underlying tissues and muscles, remove excess skin, and secure the brow in a more youthful position.
Post-operative recovery generally involves some swelling and bruising, which can last for one to two weeks. Patients are advised to keep their heads elevated and avoid strenuous activities during this time. Pain can usually be managed with prescribed pain medications.
Final results typically become evident within a few months as swelling subsides. Patients often experience a significant improvement in brow position, reduction in forehead wrinkles, and an overall rejuvenated appearance. The effects of a brow lift can last for several years, contributing to enhanced facial harmony and increased self-confidence.

A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is an aesthetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the facial aesthetics by effectively reducing the visible signs of aging. The aging process, influenced by factors such as gravitational effects, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices, leads to diminished skin elasticity, loss of volume, sagging skin, pronounced wrinkles, and altered jawline definition.
A face lift addresses these concerns through the tightening of underlying muscles, meticulous removal of the excess skin, and strategic repositioning of subcutaneous fat tissues, thereby restoring youthful contours and enhancing facial symmetry. This procedure is frequently sought by individuals desiring a refreshed and vibrant appearance, ultimately fostering increased self-confidence and improved overall facial harmony.
During the initial consultation, Dr. Giunta will perform a detailed examination of your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic concerns and goals. A comprehensive medical history will be taken to assess your overall health and suitability for surgery. He will explain various face-lift techniques highlighting the benefits and potential risks associated with each. A personalized surgical plan will be developed, addressing specific areas of concern, such as the jawline, cheek volume, or neck contours. This collaborative approach ensures that your expectations are clearly understood and integrated into the treatment plan.
Face lifting is performed under general anesthesia. The surgical technique used will determine the length and type of incisions required. Facelift scars are typically located along the hairline, around the ears. Dr. Giunta strategically place incisions to minimize visibility and enhance healing for optimal aesthetic results. The procedure usually lasts between two to four hours, depending on the complexity of the case. In many cases, people who get a facelift undergo other procedures to enhance facial volumes at the same time as their facelift surgery.
Post-operative recovery varies among individuals, but you can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the initial weeks. Patients are advised to rest, keep their heads elevated, and follow specific post-operative care instructions, including avoiding strenuous activities. Most individuals can return to normal activities within two to four weeks, although complete healing may take several months. Nevertheless, it may take two to three months for your face to feel completely "normal" again. Most individuals who undergo more extensive facelift procedures can return to work within two to three weeks. In contrast, less invasive options, such as a mini-facelift, typically require about five to seven days off.
Final results often become visible as swelling subsides within a few weeks, revealing a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance. The benefits of a face lift can last for many years, although the natural aging process will continue. Scars fade over time, becoming less noticeable with proper care and attention. Many patients report significant improvements in their facial contour and an overall boost in self-esteem and confidence. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and ensure optimal results. Facelifts are classified as aesthetic restorative procedures and are not intended to dramatically alter your appearance or halt the aging process. Additionally, they do not address superficial wrinkles, sun damage, or variations in skin pigmentation, that can improve with ancillary treatments.

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is an aesthetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the neck by reducing sagging skin and excess fat. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to a more aged and tired appearance. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can also contribute to the development of sagging skin and fat deposits in the neck area.
A neck lift can restore a more youthful contour, resulting in a rejuvenated look that can enhance your overall facial aesthetics. Double chin can be also treated during this procedure.
The journey towards a neck lift begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Giunta. During this meeting, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your medical history, and express any specific concerns about the procedure. He will conduct a thorough examination of your neck and facial structure to determine the best approach for your individual needs. This consultation is crucial for setting realistic expectations, discussing potential risks, and developing a personalized surgical plan tailored to achieve your desired results.
The neck lift procedure typically takes place under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes discreet incisions, that will fade out with the time, either behind the ears or under the chin to remove excess skin and fat and to tighten the underlying muscles. The duration of the surgery can vary, generally lasting between two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. The procedure aims to achieve a natural-looking result, ensuring that the neck's contours align harmoniously with the facial features. Chin liposuction is also performed, in the most of the cases, to shape the area, remove excess fat and smooth the skin.
Post-operative recovery will involve some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Patients are encouraged to rest and keep their head elevated to minimize swelling. It’s normal to experience some tightness in the neck during the initial recovery phase. Most individuals can return to light activities within a week, but it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise for at least two to three weeks to ensure proper healing.
As swelling subsides and healing progresses over several weeks, patients will start to see the final results of their neck lift. The neck will appear tighter and more youthful, with improved contours and a renewed definition. The results are long-lasting, and patients often report increased self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance. Follow-up appointments with Dr. Giunta are essential to monitor recovery and ensure that the surgical site heals appropriately, allowing you to enjoy your rejuvenated look for years to come.

Lip lifting is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the fullness and shape of the lips while improving the overall facial aesthetic. As we age, the lips may lose volume, and the distance between the nose and the upper lip can elongate, leading to a less youthful appearance.
A lip lift effectively shortens this distance and adds definition to the lips, creating a more inviting and balanced look. The lip lift procedure can be combined with other treatments, such as lipofilling and lip fillers, to create a more youthful and enhanced look for the lips.
During the initial consultation, Dr. Giunta will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and review your medical history. It's crucial to communicate your expectations clearly. The surgeon will explain various techniques, such as the direct lip lift or the subnasal lift, and develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs. Photographs may be taken, and the surgical plan will be outlined, including potential risks, benefits, and recovery timelines.
The lip lift is typically performed under local anesthesia. The procedure involves making incisions discreetly under the nose or at the vermillion border of the lips. By removing a small section of skin, the lips are elevated, enhancing their fullness and creating a more youthful appearance. The procedure generally takes about one hour.
After the procedure, patients can expect mild swelling and bruising, which usually subsides within a week. Pain can be managed with prescribed medications. It's advisable to rest, avoid strenuous activities. Smoking is forbidden during healing period and a soft liquid diet is recommended for the first week.
Initial results may be visible immediately, but final results will be apparent after swelling diminishes, typically within a 1 or 2 months and your lips may feel tight for the healing time. Patients can enjoy fuller, more defined lips that enhance their facial harmony, ultimately boosting confidence and satisfaction with their appearance. Lip lift is a permanent procedure, and it does not need to be repeated.

Bichectomy, also known as buccal fat removal, is an aesthetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the contours of the face by reducing the prominence of the buccal fat pads located in the cheeks. This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a slimmer, more sculpted facial appearance and is particularly popular among those with rounder faces.
By removing excess fat, bichectomy can create a more defined jawline, allows to redefine the zygomatic angle and cheek and improved facial symmetry, ultimately leading to enhanced self-confidence and satisfaction with one’s appearance.
During the first consultation, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns about the procedure. The surgeon will perform an evaluation to determine your suitability for surgery. Bichectomy can be combined with Botulinum toxin to enhance facial slimming because while bichectomy removes excess fat from the cheeks for a more contoured look, Botulinum toxin can relax specific facial muscles, further refining the jawline and reducing the appearance of bulkiness. This planning phase is crucial for aligning expectations with achievable outcomes and discussing the surgical process, potential risks, and post-operative care.
Bichectomy is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, though sedation may be offered for comfort. The surgeon makes small incisions inside the mouth near the molars to access the buccal fat pads without visible scarring. The procedure usually lasts 30 to 60 minutes and is minimally invasive, allowing for a quicker recovery.
Post-operative recovery involves mild swelling, discomfort, and possible bruising, all of which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses. The first 2 days after the surgery, a semi liquid cold diet is recommended. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days but should avoid strenuous exercise for about one to two weeks. Adhering to post-operative care instructions is essential for proper healing.
As swelling subsides over the following weeks, patients will notice the final results, including a more defined jawline and enhanced facial contours. The results are usually long-lasting and visible after 3 weeks, enabling individuals to enjoy their sculpted appearance for years. Follow-up appointments are vital to monitor healing and ensure patient satisfaction, ultimately leading to improved self-confidence.

Lipofilling, also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transfer, is an aesthetic procedure that enhances facial volume by using the patient’s own fat. With aging, the youthful triangular structure of the face transforms, as volume diminishes in the upper regions and fat accumulates in the lower areas, leading to sagging skin and the appearance of wrinkles.
Lipofilling addresses these issues by strategically injecting purified fat into areas such as the cheeks, lips, perioral area, temporal regions and around the eyes, restoring youthful contours and providing a natural-looking fullness. This minimally invasive technique not only improves facial aesthetics but also utilizes the body’s own resources, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Giunta will assess your facial structure and discuss your specific aesthetic goals. A comprehensive medical history will be reviewed to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. The surgeon will explain the lipofilling process, including the techniques used for fat extraction and injection, as well as the benefits and potential risks. A personalized treatment plan will be created, outlining the areas of focus and the volume of fat to be harvested. Fat grafting can be used alone or in combination with other aesthetic facial procedures.
The lipofilling procedure typically involves two main steps: liposuction and fat injection. The surgeon will begin by harvesting fat from a donor site—usually the abdomen or thighs—using a minimally invasive liposuction technique. However, the donor-site selection is based largely on the amount of fat needed and patient preference. The harvested fat is then refined to separate viable fat cells from impurities. Once prepared, the fat is carefully injected into the targeted areas of the face. The procedure usually lasts one hour and is often performed under local anesthesia or sedation.
Post-procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in both the donor and injection sites. Recovery generally lasts one to two weeks, during which patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities.
Results from lipofilling can be seen immediately, though final outcomes may take several weeks to fully develop as swelling subsides and the grafts take. The facial volume achieved provides a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. In addition to volume enhancement, facial lipofilling may improve skin quality. Since the fat used is autologous, many patients enjoy long-lasting results, with positive changes often remaining for several years, enhancing their overall facial harmony and self-confidence.

Ear correction, or otoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address various aesthetic and functional concerns related to the ears. Commonly performed on individuals with protruding, asymmetric, or misshapen ears, this procedure aims to enhance ear appearance and restore facial harmony.
Otoplasty can be performed on children and adults, offering significant psychological benefits by improving self-esteem and confidence. The procedure involves the reshaping or repositioning of the cartilage and skin of the ear, resulting in a more natural and aesthetically pleasing contour.
The most common clinical feature of prominent ears is an excessive distance from the head, primarily due to cartilage deformities such as a lack of antihelical fold or an overly large concha. This condition can affect one or both ears and may lead to cosmetic concerns and self-esteem issues for affected individuals. Dr. Giunta will discuss various otoplasty techniques, anesthesia options, and the potential risks and benefits of each approach. You will have the opportunity to express your aesthetic goals, and together, a personalized surgical plan will be developed. This thorough planning process ensures that your expectations are clearly understood and establishes a foundation for a successful procedure.
Otoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation for comfort or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's age and the complexity of the case. The surgeon will make incisions discreetly behind the ear to minimize visible scarring. Techniques may involve reshaping the ear cartilage, smoothing protruding areas, or recreating the natural folds of the ear. The procedure usually lasts between one to two hours.
Post-operative recovery involves swelling and discomfort, managed with prescribed pain relievers. It is recommended to wear a headband to support the ears and minimize movement both day and night for the first 4 weeks, and then only at night for the following 2 weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities within one week, but strenuous activities and sport should be avoided for 6 weeks.
Final results of the otoplasty become apparent as swelling subsides, typically within 1 to 2 months. Patients often appreciate a significant improvement in ear shape and position, achieving a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. The effects of ear correction are definitive, providing patients with enhanced self-confidence andsatisfaction with their appearance.

It is recommended to wear a headband to support the ears and minimize movement both day and night for the first 4 weeks, and then only at night for the following 2 weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities within one week, but strenuous activities and sport should be avoided for 6 weeks.
Final results of the otoplasty become apparent as swelling subsides, typically within 1 to 2 months. Patients often appreciate a significant improvement in ear shape and position, achieving a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. The effects of ear correction are definitive, providing patients with enhanced self-confidence andsatisfaction with their appearance.
