Facial Plastic Surgery in NorthWest Indiana

Your face is what people see first, and if you are unhappy with a particular facial feature, you may feel a lack of self-confidence. As an expert cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Galante can help bring back a more youthful appearance with a variety of procedures, including eyelid surgery and face lift surgery at his Valparaiso and Schererville offices, serving Merrillville, Munster, and communities throughout Northwest Indiana.

Face Lift Surgery

Many people decide to have a face lift in Indiana because they want to feel good about growing older. Face lifts don't stop the aging process, but they can turn back the clock by tightening loose skin and weakened facial muscles, especially in the neck and jowls, which alleviates wrinkles and deep lines. Dr. Galante performs mini and standard facelift procedures.

Eyelid Surgery

Technically called blepharoplasty, but more commonly called eyelid lift or eyelid surgery, this procedure delicately removes excess skin and any excess fatty tissue giving you a refreshed, youthful look. Dr. Galante performs upper and lower eyelid lift procedures for both men and women to uncover your bright, clear eyes.

Neck Lift

A neck lift can dramatically alter not only the appearance of your face and neck, but your overall body image because a double chin often makes people look and feel heavier than they really are. In many cases, a neck lift is combined with a face lift for a comprehensive facial plastic surgery rejuvenation.

Forehead Lift

For many Indiana patients, a brow lift or forehead lift can considerably rejuvenate your appearance, enhance your facial expression, and quite possibly affect how others perceive your moods. If deep lines and wrinkles have become a feature of their own on your forehead, then the skin and muscle tissue can be smoothed and tightened with surgery.

Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is an excellent solution to fine wrinkles and lines, age spots, acne scars, small skin growths, and other skin imperfections. This procedure tightens the skin, evens the surface, and creates a younger-looking, smoother complexion. Performed on an outpatient basis, laser resurfacing removes the damaged outer layers of skin.

Rhinoplasty

Also known as nose surgery, rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes, repairs and refines your nose. If you have broken or injured your nose or if you have difficulty breathing through your nose, rhinoplasty procedures can also help alleviate damage within the nose, as well as enhancing its outer appearance.

Chin Augmentation

Sometimes people feel their faces lack the proper proportion. Chin augmentation surgery uses an implant to reshape the chin to achieve the look the patient desires. The procedure is often recommended as a complement to nose reshaping, because the one tends to influence the perception of the other.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Both children and adults can feel self-conscious about overly large ears. Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a relatively simple procedure that reduces the size of large ears or sets prominent ears closer to the head so they don't stick out so much. While the surgery takes only minutes, it can produce a lifetime of improvements.
