Surgical Skin Procedures
No matter how much artistry is employed with lasers, peels and injectables, some areas of aging respond best to surgical correction. At the Emory Facial Center, the goal of facial rejuvenation surgery is just that: Rejuvenation! Facial plastic surgery is not meant to restructure your face or change your appearance drastically. Our surgical procedures are designed to help you look and feel the best you possibly can for the age you are. Natural-looking and subtle results are Dr. Sethna’s trademark, and she’ll help you achieve the best possible results through skillful surgical interventions.
