Face Surgeries in Charleston, SC

The Charleston Custom Lift is a highly individualized facial rejuvenation approach to address sagging skin, volume loss, and facial laxity in a balanced way. Rather than relying on a single technique, Dr. Ulm customizes the procedure based on your anatomy and goals, refining the midface, jawline, and neck to restore youthful contours while preserving natural expression.

Eyelid surgery rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, repositioning or reducing fat, and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles that create a tired or heavy appearance. This procedure can improve both cosmetic concerns and functional issues, such as obstructed vision, helping the eyes appear brighter and more rested.

Facelift surgery improves visible signs of aging in the midface and lower face, including deep folds, jowls, and sagging skin. By lifting and repositioning underlying facial tissues and refining skin contours, a facelift helps restore smoother lines, improved definition, and a more youthful facial profile without an over-pulled look.

A neck lift addresses loose skin, muscle banding, excess fat, and wrinkles in the neck and jawline. The procedure enhances definition beneath the chin and along the jaw, creating a smoother, firmer neck contour. It can be performed on its own or combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.

A forehead lift, also called a brow lift, elevates drooping eyebrows, softens deep forehead creases, and reduces frown lines between the brows. This procedure restores a more open, refreshed appearance and can help the eyes look brighter and less tired. Careful technique preserves natural movement, expression, and facial harmony.

Submental liposuction targets stubborn fat beneath the chin that contributes to a double chin or poorly defined jawline. By gently removing excess fat, this procedure creates a slimmer, more contoured neck and profile. It is best suited for patients with good skin elasticity and can be performed on its own or in combination with other facial procedures.

Otoplasty reshapes or repositions prominent or misshapen ears to create better balance with the face. The procedure can correct ears that protrude, appear asymmetrical, or have structural irregularities. The results are natural-looking and proportionate, helping the ears blend more seamlessly with surrounding facial features.

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve size, shape, symmetry, and overall facial balance. It can refine the bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall proportions while preserving natural character. When needed, functional concerns, such as breathing difficulties, can also be addressed through customized surgical techniques.

Revision rhinoplasty corrects concerns following a previous nose surgery, such as asymmetry, structural weakness, breathing problems, or an unsatisfactory appearance. These complex procedures require advanced planning and expertise to restore both function and aesthetics while preserving and supporting the nasal framework.

Fat grafting uses your own purified fat to restore lost volume and improve contour in areas like the cheeks, temples, under-eyes, and around the mouth. In addition to enhancing facial fullness, transferred fat can improve skin quality and softness. This approach creates smoother, more youthful transitions between facial features with natural-looking, long-lasting results.

A lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip to enhance lip shape, definition, and tooth show. By subtly elevating the upper lip, this procedure creates a more youthful, balanced appearance without adding volume. It is ideal for patients seeking refined enhancement and improved lip proportions.

Chin implants enhance the projection and contour of the chin, improving overall facial balance and profile harmony. This procedure can strengthen a recessed or weak chin, sharpen jawline definition, and complement other facial surgeries, such as rhinoplasty or facelift, to achieve more cohesive results and a more harmonious face.

Skin resurfacing improves tone, texture, and fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces pigmentation by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin cell turnover. Skin resurfacing treatment delivers smoother, clearer, healthier-looking skin and can be performed on its own or combined with surgical procedures to enhance overall facial rejuvenation results.
