Facial plastic surgery covers procedures that change the structure or appearance of the face and neck: rhinoplasty, facelifts, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lifts, chin and cheek implants, and revision work on prior surgeries. Some practices also handle reconstructive cases, such as repairing damage from an injury or skin cancer removal, alongside cosmetic requests. Aurora has 6 providers listed in this category, ranging from surgeons focused primarily on facial work to broader plastic surgery practices that offer it as part of a wider menu.
Before booking a consultation, check who is actually performing the surgery and what their specific training is in facial procedures. A general plastic surgery background doesn't automatically mean deep experience with, say, rhinoplasty revisions or facelift techniques. Ask to see before-and-after photos of patients with a similar face shape or concern to yours, confirm where the surgery takes place (accredited surgical facility versus office-based setup), and get clarity on anesthesia, recovery timeline, and what happens if a touch-up is needed later.
Our scoring weighs credentials, patient outcomes reflected in reviews, transparency around pricing and consultations, and how a practice handles complications or follow-up care.
