Facelift
As the skin and underlying tissues of the face lose firmness over time, sagging, deep creases, and jowling can begin to change your appearance. Facelift surgery is designed to restore youthful contours, smooth facial folds, and redefine the jawline and neck. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Block-Wheeler creates refreshed, natural-looking results that enhance your features without appearing overdone.

- Delivers natural rejuvenation without an artificial look
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a highly personalized facial procedure designed to enhance the shape, balance, and function of the nose while maintaining harmony with your natural features. Whether the goal is to refine the nasal bridge, improve tip definition, correct asymmetry, or address breathing concerns, rhinoplasty with Dr. Block-Wheeler focuses on subtle refinement and long-term results that look natural from every angle.

Neck Lift
Neck lift surgery is an ideal option for individuals who are bothered by loose skin, visible banding, excess fullness, or a lack of definition along the neck and jawline. Aging, weight changes, and genetics can all contribute to these concerns, even when the face still appears youthful. During your consultation, Dr. Block-Wheeler will assess your neck anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine whether a neck lift can restore a smoother, more contoured profile.

- Those in good overall health with realistic aesthetic goals
Lip Lift
A lip lift is a refined facial procedure designed to enhance the shape and position of the upper lip, creating a more youthful and balanced appearance. By shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip, this procedure increases lip visibility and definition without adding volume. A lip lift with Dr. Block-Wheeler focuses on subtle enhancement that looks natural and complements your facial features.
- Enhances upper lip definition for a more youthful look
- Improves lip-to-nose proportions for better facial balance
- Increases natural lip show without fillers or added volume
