Salt Lake City Eyelid Lift

There are many reasons people, men and women alike, seek out help to improve the appearance of their eyelids. Common signs of aging often affect the skin around the eyes first and things like a heavy, drooping upper eyelid, which can even obstruct vision, puffiness in the lower lid and fine lines and wrinkles can be improved with Blepharoplasty.

Blepharoplasty, also known as an Eyelid Lift, is a procedure which removes excess skin, fat or muscle from the eyelids to create a more alert, youthful appearance. Blepharoplasty is often done in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a Brow Lift, Face Lift or BOTOX Injections. The first step to determining whether an Eyelid Lift is right for you, is through a confidential consultation with Dr. Bitner. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

Lip Augmentation

A plump pout has long been considered a stable of sensual beauty. For most of us, however, a plump pout just wasn’t in the cards. Walk down any cosmetic aisle in any drug store and you’ll find a plethora of glosses that promise to give you that “stung” look with a side of tingly. These are fine for some who desire temporary solutions and a moderate enhancement. For others looking for a more long lasting, effective approach Surgisil Lip Implants may be a better fit for you. Surgisil Lip Implants are soft, natural looking implants that last.

The best way to determine if a Lip Augmentation is right for you is by setting up a personal consultation with Dr. Bitner to asses your goals. Contact our office today.

Salt Lake City Dermal Fillers

Our skin is the largest human organ. It covers our entire body and battles the elements for our entire lives. It is amazingly durable, but eventually is starts to break down. The wear effects it and it becomes less and less elastic and durable. Fine lines, creases, wrinkles and sagging begin to take the place of smooth, tight skin, particularly in the face and neck. With Salt Lake City Injectable Dermal Fillers, Dr. Bitner can take out some of those fine lines, creases, and wrinkles to create a smoother, more youthful looking appearance yet again.

Injectable Fillers are just as they sound, “fillers” that get injected into your skin to fill out the creases and wrinkles. It’s basically playing the part that your natural, good fat was playing that gets lost as we age. There are a couple different kind of injectable fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse and Juvederm. Dr. Bitner will walk you through the pros and cons of each and help you find the right treatment for you. Injectable fillers are perfect for patients who desire a more youthful appearance without the risks of invasive surgery and constrictive down time.

Salt Lake City Rhinoplasty

Many people, men and women alike are dissatisfied with their noses. This dissatisfaction can come from many different aesthetic and functional reasons. Some people have noses they feel are too small or too large. For some it is the tip of the nose or perhaps the profile of the nose which may reveal bumps or indentations. Still, for others, their dissatisfaction is purely functional. Problems like having a deviated septum can make it very difficult to breath. In many cases, it is a combination of both aesthetic and functional goals which bring a patient in to our office. Dr. Bitner has helped countless men and women achieve the nose they desire through Salt Lake City Rhinoplasty.

Lip Enhancement – Salt Lake City

Full, pout-ey lips are considered one of the staples of facial beauty. Some women are naturally blessed with a plump pout (Angelina, we’re looking at you) but for most of us, we need a little bit of help to achieve the fullness we desire. Walk down any cosmetic aisle in any drug store and you’ll find any number of “limp plumping” glosses and while these may be a suitable short term fix, they cannot provide the kind of lasting, noticeable change that Lip Augmentation offers.

Dr. John Bitner performs Lip Augmentation with Surgisil© lip implants. When you’re ready to start discussing your lip augmentation options seriously, we invite you to contact our Salt Lake City office to schedule a confidential consultation with Dr. Bitner.
