Dr. Ritota is able to enhance or refine areas of the face and neck for both women and men using surgical procedures and chemical treatments. Adjustments can also be made for congenital deformities (birth defects) and abnormalities.

Surgery of the Nose
(Rhinoplasty)

Surgery to reshape the nose, (rhinoplasty) is among the most common plastic surgery procedures. This procedure can reduce or increase the size of the nose, remove an unwanted hump, change the shape of the nose, narrow the width of the nostrils, or manipulate the angle between the nose and the upper lip. The procedure is also used to correct problems resulting from injury or can help relieve certain breathing difficulties.

Neck Lift
(Cervicoplasty and Platysmaplasty)

Turkey wattle neck, excess fat, and too much skin are common complaints from pateints concerned about the appearance of their necks. A neck lift is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures undergone by people to enhance the look of the neck area. It comprises two procedures: cervicoplasty and platysmaplasty. Cervicoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, while platysmaplasty alters neck muscles. Neck liposuction for the removal of excess fat and or BOTOX® injections may also be used in conjunction.

Facelift
(Rhytidectomy)

Over time, the long-term effects of gravity, exposure to sun, dry air, as well as general stress can take a toll on an individual's face and neckline. Jowls can develop under the jawline with folds and fat deposits. Creases may form between the nose and the mouth.

A facelift can considerably reduce these signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles and redraping the skin around the neck and face. Facelifts may be done alone or performed in conjunction with another procedure such as a browlift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. If your problem areas are limited to the neck, a more conservative procedure, known as a "neck lift", will be recommended.

BOTOX®
BOTOX® procedures are a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent that works at motor nerve endings (nerves that lead to muscles). BOTOX®® Cosmetic is a drug used for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines). These frown lines come from muscles called corrugator and/or procerus muscles. The BOTOX® procedure is the name used for the process of injecting the product into the patient.

When BOTOX® is injected into the muscles surrounding the eyes, for instance, those muscles can not "scrunch up" for a period of time. They are paralyzed. So the wrinkles in that area, often referred to as "crow's-feet," temporarily go away.
