Canthal restoration is most commonly performed to revise prior lower eyelid procedures that made the eyes appear asymmetry, beaty, or shorter. In rare cases these procedures may be beneficial in patients with substantial changes seen with aging, who have laxity issues.

Facial Fat & Nano Fat Restoration
by Dr. Ben Talei: $20,000
by Associate: $5,000
Fat grafting serves and integral role in facial rejuvenation. Although most surgeons diffusely inject fat at all levels to volumize the face, Dr. Talei avoids these generalized techniques and uses fat in much more delicate and powerful ways. Aside from its adpisose-derived or mesenchymal stem cell potential, fat can be used to improve muscle position and muscle function, coloration of darkened areas of the skin, and improve 3-dimensional structural support. Fat grafting also has immense benefit in revision facelift surgeries to help restore balance and structure to the eyes, temples, face, jawline, neck, and ears. Fat grafting may be combined with nanofat (stromal fraction or mesenchymal stem cells) or PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). Fat grafting can be performed during any facial rejuvenation procedure, but is best performed in combination with Radiofrequency skin tightening or Face and Neck lifting. Fat grafting takes under 1 hour to perform and is typically performed using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or twilight anesthesia.
PHAT Skin/PHAT Hair/PHAT Lips
by Dr. Ben Talei: $15,000
by Associate: $5,000
PHAT stands for Platelet Hybridized Adipose Therapy. This is a technique developed and published by Dr. Talei, demonstrating impressive results in deep skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. A combination of fat grafting, Nanofat (adipose derived / mesenchymal stem cells), and PRP (platelet rich plasma) may be sequentially injected to help rejuvenate and stimulate the skin and deeper tissues in unique and natural ways. Fat may be harvested from the abdomen or deep thigh in most cases and may be performed in conjunction with Profound Radiofrequency skin tightening or other surgical procedures. PHAT takes under 1 hour to perform and is typically performed using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or twilight anesthesia.

Forehead Lowering
By Dr. Ben Talei: $20,000
by Associate: $10,000
In many cases, long or high foreheads can be corrected with a procedure called foreheadplasty. Since it is also a procedure that improves the appearance of a high hairline, foreheadplasty may also be called Hairline Lowering. Regardless of what you name it, foreheadplasty is a cosmetic surgery that reduces the size of an elongated forehead by removing a portion of the forehead skin and creating a lower hairline.
