### Content
Dr. Sirius K. Yoo is a [board-certified](https://www.abfprs.org/certified-surgeon/sirius-k-yoo-m-d/) facial plastic surgeon and a [board-certified](https://www.abohns.org/verify-certification?city=san%20diego&first_name=sirius&form_build_id=form-jwzC-mtWdMxT6mKONHYY-ItUqRo-fNI6Iqy31wwe19k&form_id=abohns_verification_form&id=&last_name=yoo&op=Verify%20Status&state=CA) head and neck surgeon.
He is one of only a select number of surgeons in the nation to complete a prestigious fellowship in facial plastic surgery at [Stanford University](https://med.stanford.edu/).
An active member of the [American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery](https://www.aafprs.org/), Dr. Yoo has been a presenter and instructor at national meetings, teaching other surgeons advanced and new techniques. [He has also been published](https://bit.ly/SFU8Kt) in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery.
A Castle Connolly top doctor, Dr. Yoo has been named [Best Facial Plastic Surgeon](/blog/named-best-facial-plastic-surgeon-in-san-diego-2018/) in San Diego by *Ranch & Coast *Magazine for the past ten years (2015 - 2024)*. Modern Luxury* Magazine named Dr. Yoo Best Rhinoplasty surgeon in 2024 and Best Face & Neck Lift surgeon in 2025. Dr. Yoo was awarded Best Cosmetic Surgeon by *San Diego Magazine *three years in a row (2023-2025) and featured in the [Top Doctor Issue](https://bit.ly/1SpyndD). He's recognized by *San Diego Business Journal* as a [Healthcare Champion finalist](https://bit.ly/yoohcc2015), and is known as a leader in his community.

#### Expertise
Known for his natural-looking results, Dr. Yoo specializes in [cosmetic surgery](/facial-plastic-surgery/surgical-procedures-overview/) of the face and neck — such as [rhinoplasty](/facial-plastic-surgery/rhinoplasty/), [facelift](/facial-plastic-surgery/face-lift/), [brow lift](/facial-plastic-surgery/brow-lift/) and [blepharoplasty](/facial-plastic-surgery/blepharoplasty/) — and combines surgery with laser treatments, Botox, fillers and skin care for the best possible results.
Trained in advanced techniques, Dr. Yoo is often sought out for the most challenging cases, including revision rhinoplasty with rib harvest and facial reconstruction due to trauma.
Dr. Yoo’s approach to facial plastic and reconstructive surgery is to achieve a natural, balanced look that is individualized for each patient. “Too often, surgeons apply generalized techniques that result in an ‘overdone’ plastic surgery look. I believe that every face and personality is unique. I get to know my patients over a series of visits in order to customize my surgical approach. I find and create symmetry and harmony among the structural elements of the face, giving my patients the natural, balanced appearance they want.”
*SKY Facial Plastic Surgery has been repeatedly awarded 3-year accreditations by the California Medical Association’s Institute for Medical Quality, recognizing it as a top-quality surgical facility.*

**Description:** While being a cosmetic surgeon certainly puts me in the “beauty” industry, I never considered myself an expert on eyelashes until several of my patients began asking me how they could get fuller, longer eyelashes. For the past couple of years, as a courtesy to my patients, I’ve carried Latisse, a prescription medication that is applied to the upper eyelids for longer, fuller, darker lashes.

**Description:** Most of my patients come to see me because they want to make their outward appearance reflect how they feel inside – young and vibrant. When we are young, our face appears supple and smooth. We all know what happens when we age. The skin develops wrinkles and sunspots. Everything starts to droop. But, do you know what’s causing those changes? Knowing the answer is the first step to obtaining a more youthful appearance.

**Description:** Turtlenecks and strategically draped scarves do not have to be a fashion staple anymore for women over 40! We all know that the neck is one of the first places to show signs of aging, which is why it’s always surprising how few skincare products actually target this fear-inducing area. No wonder Nectifirm, Revision Skincare's anti-aging cream specifically formulated for the neck, is so popular with our patients!

Vision is arguably our most important sense. Good eyesight is a gift that many of us are born with. We depend on sight to navigate our daily activities, to see our loved ones and to experience the beautiful world we live in. We often don’t realize the true value of good vision until it’s gone.

**Description:** SKY Facial Plastic Surgery celebrates its 11th year as Ranch & Coast’s Best of San Diego winner and earns top facelift and rhinoplasty honors.
### Content
Nov 4
The results have been announced, and SKY Facial Plastic Surgery has once again been named among San Diego’s best. For the 11th consecutive year, Ranch & Coast Magazine has recognized SKY as a Best of San Diego winner in its annual readers’ poll. To add to such an amazing win, Modern Luxury San Diego has honored Dr. Sirius K. Yoo as Best Facelift Surgeon and Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in the city, further cementing his reputation as one of the region’s most trusted names in facial aesthetics.
Founded in 2010 by husband-and-wife team Dr. Sirius K. Yoo, M.D. (President and Surgeon) and Amber N. Yoo, M.B.A. (Vice President), SKY Facial Plastic Surgery has built its name on a simple promise. Facial rejuvenation that looks natural, feels personal, and reflects each patient’s individuality. Located in 4S Ranch, between Rancho Santa Fe and Rancho Bernardo, the practice serves patients from across San Diego; and all around the world.
“This recognition means a great deal to us because it comes from our own community,” said Dr. Yoo. “Our patients put their trust in us, and that’s something we never take lightly. Every award is really a reflection of their support and the SKY Team’s dedication to care that goes far beyond the procedure itself.”
## A Legacy of Excellence and Authenticity
From its beginnings, SKY has focused exclusively on the face and neck, believing that specialization is the key to truly refined results. As a double-board-certified facial plastic and head-and-neck surgeon, Dr. Yoo is uniquely qualified in the anatomy of facial aesthetics: an uncommon dual credential that underscores his Excellence and expertise.
He is also the only surgeon in San Diego to have completed a Stanford University fellowship in facial plastic surgery, a distinction that places him among a select few in the nation. There, he trained under world-renowned surgeon Dr. Sam Most, helping mentor residents while refining the advanced techniques that now define his practice.
“Dr. Yoo’s focus has always been on achieving results that look effortless,” said Amber Yoo. “Our patients consistently tell us they feel like the best version of themselves. Refreshed, confident, and natural. That’s what we’re known for, and that’s what keeps them coming back year after year.”
## Recognized for Facelift and Rhinoplasty Excellence
In addition to Ranch & Coast’s “Best of San Diego” honor, Modern Luxury San Diego recently spotlighted Dr. Yoo in its 2025 “Best of the City” issue, naming him both Best Facelift Surgeon and Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon. These recognitions highlight his expertise across a wide spectrum of aesthetic techniques—from the deep-plane facelift to rhinoplasty—each performed with a meticulous eye for harmony and proportion.
Patients travel from across the country, and even internationally, seeking Dr. Yoo’s advanced surgical skill and his calm, personalized approach. His philosophy is rooted in transparency, communication, and respect for every individual’s goals.
“We don’t go into surgeries looking to make our patients look like entirely different people—that’s not what they want. We’re here to reveal the best aesthetic version of them, while still maintaining what makes our patients unique,” Dr. Yoo explained.“It’s really about bringing balance back to the face so everything looks natural and at ease.”
## A Patient Experience That Feels Personal
Outside of surgical results, SKY is recognized by patients for creating an elevated, spa-like environment that redefines what a medical experience can feel like. From the first consultation to recovery, every detail is designed for comfort, privacy, and calm. The practice’s on-site, fully accredited private surgery center allows patients to undergo procedures in the same serene environment where they first met the team.
Each patient enjoys exclusive use of the surgical suite on their procedure day—a reflection of SKY’s belief that every patient deserves the full focus of the entire team. Their boutique approach guarantees safety, and a personal experience from start to finish.
## Rooted in Community
While awards and accolades often speak to SKY’s excellence, the practice’s ongoing commitment to giving back is what continues to define its heart. SKY proudly supports organizations such as Rady Children’s Hospital, Helen Woodward Animal Center, FACE Foundation, and The Country Friends—all causes that align with the team’s values of compassion, connection, and care.
“San Diego has given us so much,” said Amber. “Supporting these incredible organizations is one way we can give something back. We’re honored to serve this community both inside and outside the office.”
## Continuing to Set the Standard
Eleven years of recognition is a rare distinction that only few are honored the privilege of, but for Dr. Yoo and the SKY Team, it’s a reminder of what matters most; the people behind the results. Their approach, personalized, passionate, and grounded in integrity, continues to earn the trust of San Diegans and patients from around the globe.
“Awards are a privilege that we are truly proud to receive,” Dr. Yoo added, “but the greatest honor will always be the relationships we build with our patients. Their confidence and gratitude are what truly keep us inspired and loving what we do.”

In this lesson, we'll cover what I consider the three most important parts of HIPAA’s Privacy Rule: uses and disclosures of PHI, notice, and access.

**Description:** As San Diegans, we are fortunate to enjoy a relatively mild climate year-round. Still, mild as it is, wintertime presents a real challenge when it comes to keeping our skin looking and feelings its best. The dry, cold winter air and the use of indoor heat can rob the moisture from our skin, leaving us feeling itchy and flaky. Fortunately, making just a few simple changes to your daily regimen can improve skin’s suppleness and restore a healthy glow.

**Description:** In the winter of 2015, supermodel Kendall Jenner opened up about her struggle with acne since the eighth grade. She shared that it “ruined [her] feeling of self-esteem” and how she often covered her face with her hands when speaking with people. We hear similar stories from our patients at SKY. Women use bangs to hide forehead blemishes. Men grow beards to cover unsightly skin. Young adults photograph themselves from a certain side, to hide an undesirable perspective. We are constantly bombarded by media featuring models with flawless skin, making it refreshing to hear Jenner’s authenticity. We can all relate to the struggle for seeming perfection.

**California Online Privacy Protection Act**
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.

**COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)**
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
**Fair Information Practices**
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
**In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:**
We will notify you via email within 7 business days.
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
**CAN SPAM Act**

#### The Non-Surgical Solution for a Double Chin
*Why Choose SKY Facial Plastic Surgery for Kybella?*
Excess submental fat beneath the chin, often called a double chin, can make you feel self-conscious about your profile. At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer **Kybella in San Diego**, an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce fat cells without the need for surgical procedures. Administered with care, by Dr. Sirius K. Yoo, *Kybella injections* provide a non-invasive solution to redefine and contour your jawline for a slimmer, more confident appearance.
#### Kybella at a Glance
- **Treatment Type: **Non-surgical, injectable treatment
- **Downtime:** Minimal, with mild swelling for a few days
- **Duration:** 15-30 minutes per session
- **Best For:** Reducing submental fat (double chin)
- **Results:** Gradual fat reduction and improved jawline definition
#### Kybella® Dissolves The Double Chin
*What is Kybella?*
If you're not happy with the extra skin under your chin (often referred to as a "double chin" or "turkey neck"), you aren't alone. Upwards of 80% of people with a "*double chin*" are concerned about the condition, known in medical terms as submental fullness.
Although diet and exercise can help, sometimes aging and genetics make it difficult— to impossible to completely get rid of submental fullness without medical intervention. Until *Kybella*, the only medical solution was liposuction, a surgical procedure.
[Kybella](https://consumers.mykybella.com/) is the first and only ***non-surgical*** solution to submental fullness that is FDA-approved. At our office in San Diego **Kybella** is a liquid injectable composed of the active ingredient ***deoxycholic acid***, which is a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that helps dissolve fat cells. Once destroyed, the fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat, meaning the results are permanent.
In April 2015, *the FDA approved Kybella to treat submental fullness*. This revolutionary treatment is now available for the first time to the public. Because there are nerves and muscles all around the injection area, it is important to go to a doctor,[ like Dr. Yoo](/about/meet-dr-yoo/), who has been formally trained to safely administer Kybella.
#### Targets Stubborn Fat Cells with Precision
*What is the Kybella treatment like?*
For the treatment, Dr. Yoo will first apply an anesthetic gel to the injection site and let it sit for about 20 minutes. After the gel has taken effect, Dr. Yoo applies temporary ink to the injection site, marking where each injection needs to go. Injections are placed in a grid pattern to ensure the solution is placed evenly into the targeted fatty tissue. A single treatment typically involves 20-30 injections, however discomfort is minimized due to the anesthetic gel.
#### Redefining Jawlines
*What conditions does Kybella address?*
*Kybella is designed to treat submental fat, commonly known as a double chin*. This stubborn fat can develop due to genetics, weight gain, or aging and is often resistant to diet and exercise.
By using deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in **Kybella** injections, this treatment breaks down and destroys fat cells in the treatment area. Once destroyed, the body naturally eliminates these fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and defined chin and jawline.
#### Melt Fat Cells and Refine Your Profile
*What areas of the body can Kybella treat?*
**Kybella** is specifically approved to treat the fat under the chin, *effectively targeting the double chin* to achieve a noticeable reduction in submental fullness.
#### FDA Approved Injectable Treatment
*What are the benefits of Kybella?*
*Kybella treatment* offers a range of benefits, including:
- Non-Surgical Solution: Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that eliminates the need for surgical procedures like liposuction.
- Permanent Fat Reduction: Once fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate, providing long-lasting results.
- Improved Confidence: Achieve a slimmer, more defined jawline and say goodbye to your double chin.
- Quick and Convenient: Sessions take just 15-30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
With precise treatment and natural results, **Kybella** helps you achieve a contoured, youthful profile.
#### Signs You May Be a Perfect Candidate for Kybella
*Am I a candidate for Kybella?*
You may be a good candidate for *Kybella* injections if you:
- Have moderate to severe fat beneath the chin causing a double chin.
- Prefer a non-surgical option for fat reduction.
- Are in good overall health and do not have a history of nerve injury in the treatment area.
- Are not taking blood thinners, as they may increase the risk of bruising.
During your consultation, Dr. Yoo will evaluate your goals, health, and medical history to ensure **Kybella in San Diego** is right for you.
#### So Long Double Chin
*Kybella Recovery*
After each treatment, you will experience swelling around the injection site that lasts less than a week.
While swollen, the area may sting, which means the treatment is working and the fat cells are dissolving. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours.
#### Eliminating Fat Cells for Lasting Change
*Kybella Results*
**Kybella** delivers gradual, long-lasting fat reduction:
- A slimmer, more contoured jawline and chin area.
- Permanent results are achieved when the treated fat cells are eliminated and cannot return.
- Patients can expect to see the final results after two to four treatments spaced at least four weeks apart.

#### Illuminate Your Confidence
*Why Choose SKY Facial Plastic Surgery for Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)?*
Intense pulsed light therapy offers a non-invasive solution for pigmentation-related skin issues, empowering you to achieve a bright, even, luminous complexion with comfort and convenience. At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery, our skilled treatment specialists offer advanced *IPL* (intense pulsed light) technology to deliver an exceptional experience and exquisite results. Explore the benefits of **IPL in San Diego**, CA, with our trusted team of providers, and look forward to an impeccably rejuvenated appearance.
#### Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) at a Glance
- **What it is**: A non-invasive treatment that uses intense pulsed light to target skin concerns.
- **Benefits**: Improved skin tone and texture, reduced sun damage, minimized rosacea, and smaller pores.
- **Downtime**: Minimal downtime, with some temporary redness and swelling.
- **Duration**: Individual treatments typically last 15-30 minutes.
- **Results**: Gradual improvement in skin appearance over several treatments.
#### Non-Ablative Skin Rejuvenation
*What is intense pulsed light therapy?*
IPL treatment delivers a band of broad-spectrum light energy to skin cells, resulting in the fading of brown and red spots. It also treats capillary blood vessels, rosacea, large pores, and melasma.
*IPL is different from laser treatments in that IPL is a band of light frequencies while laser is a single frequency of light*. The effect is that IPL is able to safely treat multiple skin discolorations in a single session. Unlike laser treatments, the **IPL laser** allows light pulses to penetrate deeper without damaging the outer layers of the skin.
Treatment is quick and with nominal discomfort. There is minimal downtime associated with the treatment other than the dark spots turning even darker for a period of a week before flaking off to reveal clearer, healthier skin.
It is important to minimize sun exposure and stop retinol products during the period immediately before and after the treatment.
#### A Short, Easy Treatment
*What is the intense pulsed light procedure like?*
During an intense pulsed light treatment, a handheld device emits pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the targeted skin pigment or blood vessels, leading to their breakdown. *This process can help reduce the appearance of unwanted discoloration and improve skin texture*.
Your San Diego **IPL laser** specialist will provide you with protective eyewear to keep on throughout your treatment. While intense pulsed light is tolerable for most patients, topical anesthesia can be applied to ensure your most comfortable experience. You may notice a stinging sensation (similar to a rubber band snapping) on your skin, but any discomfort is generally minimal.
Depending on the size of the treatment area, most *IPL* sessions take 30-60 minutes.
#### For Even Tone & Texture
*What conditions does intense pulsed light therapy address?*
The innovative intense pulsed light technology can help improve:
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Redness from rosacea
- Acne
- Birthmarks
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
- Spider veins
- Discoloration
- Pigmented lesions
- Hyperpigmentation
- Vascular lesions
#### Tackle Pigmentation Problems
*What areas of the body can intense pulsed light therapy address?*
*Intense pulsed light therapy* primarily targets the face and neck, but it can also be used to treat other areas, such as the chest, shoulders, and hands.
#### Comprehensive Treatment for a Better Complexion
*What are the benefits of intense pulsed light treatments?*
**IPL Laser in San Diego** offers a gentle but effective method of improving the health and appearance of your skin in several ways:
- **Improved Skin Tone:** A more even and radiant complexion.
- **Reduced Sun Damage:** Diminished age spots and sunspots.
- **Minimized Rosacea:** Reduced redness and inflammation associated with rosacea.
- **Smaller Pores:** A refined skin texture.
- **Minimal Downtime:** Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
#### Embrace a Brighter Future
*Am I a candidate for intense pulsed light treatments?*
*IPL* is suitable for individuals with various skin types and concerns. However, it's important to consult with a qualified dermatologist to determine if **IPL** is right for you.
[SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION](/consultations/)
#### Reveal Beautiful Skin
*Intense Pulsed Light Recovery*
Because *IPL* does not damage surrounding tissue, it offers a comparably minimal recovery.
After a treatment with **IPL laser** San Diego patients may experience some redness and mild swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. It's essential to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect your skin.
#### Gradual & Natural Improvement
*Intense Pulsed Light Results*
*Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy delivers remarkable results, rejuvenating the skin for a brighter, more youthful appearance*. By targeting uneven pigmentation, redness, and sun damage, the **IPL laser** smooths your skin's tone and reduces the visibility of fine lines and age spots.
Many patients notice a radiant glow and improved texture after a series of treatment sessions, with ongoing benefits over a few weeks to months as the skin continues to renew itself. Whether you’re addressing discoloration, broken capillaries, or early signs of aging, *IPL* is a powerful, non-invasive treatment that restores your natural beauty and boosts your confidence.

#### Sculpt Your Jawline with Laser Liposuction
*Why Choose SKY Facial Plastic Surgery for Minimally Invasive Laser Liposuction?*
Achieve a refined, toned look with **laser liposuction in San Diego**, an advanced, minimally invasive procedure combining laser energy with fat removal techniques. At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery, our expert facial plastic surgeon provides innovative laser-assisted liposuction to *remove excess fat while enhancing skin tightening* for smoother, natural results. Unlike traditional liposuction, laser techniques target stubborn fat cells effectively with less downtime and improved contouring.
#### Laser Liposuction at a Glance
- **Duration**: 1-2 hours
- **Anesthesia**: Oral sedation and tumescent numbing techniques
- **Downtime**: Minimal; most patients return to daily activities in 1-2 days
- **Benefits**: Fat reduction, subtle skin tightening, new collagen growth, and jawline sculpting
- **Best For**: Patients at a healthy weight looking to address unwanted fat
#### A Jawline Sculpting Treatment
*What is minimally invasive laser-assisted liposuction?*
**Laser liposuction**, also known as *laser-assisted liposuction* or *laser lipolysis*, is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure that uses controlled laser energy to destroy fat cells and tighten skin.
This advanced technology utilizes bidirectional energy distribution for more focused targeting of fat tissue. This promotes collagen production for enhanced skin tightening.
This procedure smooths out fine wrinkles and helps restore tone and firmness to your jawline and neck using sophisticated laser technology. *Extraneous fat is removed*, and the laser causes new collagen growth and subtle *skin tightening* over a six-month period to produce gradual and natural results.
#### Redefining Fat Removal
*What is the laser liposuction procedure like?*
Three tiny skin punctures (less than a quarter of an inch) are made behind the ears and under the chin. The laser is inserted underneath the skin and manipulated by our expert facial plastic surgeon. The heat from the laser stimulates collagen growth, tightening any sagging skin and gradually improving the appearance of fine and deep lines.
Although the *PrecisionTx* is often marketed as a “*laser facelift*,” delivering results similar to a [facelift](/facial-plastic-surgery/face-lift/), Dr. Yoo says this is not the case. There is currently no technology on the market that provides a non-surgical alternative to surgery, and misleading marketing can lead to unrealistic expectations. It is best to think of this as *laser-assisted liposuction* along the jawline.
Your procedure includes:
- Small incisions are made in the target area.
- A specialized laser fiber is inserted to deliver laser energy, destroying the fat cells.
- The liquefied fat is gently removed using a thin liposuction cannula for effective fat reduction and jawline sculpting.
- The procedure stimulates collagen production, improving skin tightening over time.
With **laser liposuction** San Diego patients have have the procedure performed with oral sedation and tumescent numbing techniques or combined with additional procedures under general anesthesia, with patients returning home the same day.
#### An Advanced Approach to Targeting Fat Cells
*What conditions does laser liposuction address?*
**Laser liposuction** effectively targets a range of concerns, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a more sculpted jawline. This advanced procedure addresses unwanted fat deposits that often resist diet and exercise.
It also helps improve jawline contour by reducing excess fat while simultaneously subtly tightening skin, making it ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity. *By precisely targeting localized subcutaneous fat, laser-assisted liposuction enhances your natural shape, delivering smoother, more defined results that boost confidence and satisfaction*.
#### Fat Reduction with Skin Tightening
*What areas can laser liposuction treat?*
**Laser liposuction** is ideal for treating:
- Lower face
- Jawline
- Neck and chin
This versatile procedure allows for customized lower face and jawline sculpting in a single treatment.
#### Treating Stubborn Fat Along Jawline
*What are the benefits of laser liposuction?*
*Laser liposuction provides a range of benefits, making it an appealing choice for patients seeking targeted fat reduction and improved jawline contour*. This minimally invasive procedure involves a short recovery time and uses laser precision to remove fat, ensuring enhanced jawline sculpting results.
**Laser liposuction** stimulates collagen production, promoting skin tightening for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Performed under local anesthesia, it eliminates the risks associated with general anesthesia while effectively destroying fat cells and refining jawline contour. With minimal downtime and effective outcomes, laser-assisted liposuction is an excellent option for achieving *nonsurgical fat reduction* results on the face and neck.
#### Minimal Downtime. No Scalpel. No Stitches.
*Am I a Candidate for Laser Liposuction?*
Ideal candidates are:
- Patients who would most benefit from laser-assisted liposuction are:
- Patients under 40 years old who have subtle unwanted fullness along the jawline despite living an active and healthy lifestyle
- Patients with supple skin who want a more defined jawline but who are not yet candidates for a facelift or who are unable to undergo a facelift due to medical or recovery concerns
#### Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results
*Laser Liposuction Recovery*
Recovery from **laser liposuction in San Diego** is faster compared to traditional liposuction:
- Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first few days.
- You can return to work and light activities within 1-2 days.
- Compression garments may be recommended to enhance healing and skin tightening.
- Minimal discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Following post-procedure care ensures optimal results and a smooth recovery.
#### Achieve Your Best Look
*Laser Liposuction Results*

You’ll see improved contours and a smoother appearance as the body metabolizes the liquefied fat cells. *Over the next 3-6 months, increased collagen production enhances skin tightening, providing long-lasting results*.

#### Sculpted Confidence
*What is a neck lift?*
A **neck lift**, also known as a *lower rhytidectomy*, is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging neck skin, excess fat, and visible signs of aging in the neck area.
This treatment sculpts the jawline and neck, restoring a more youthful contour. Options include traditional surgical techniques and, in some cases, complementary nonsurgical treatments to enhance skin quality. The procedure is highly customizable to meet your specific concerns and aesthetic goals.
[Liposuction](/facial-plastic-surgery/minimally-invasive-laser-liposuction/) may also be incorporated into a *neck lift* to address stubborn fat under the chin or in the neck. *Neck liposuction* is a cosmetic procedure to reduce the amount of fatty tissue in the neck and submental areas. This produces a more defined and sculpted jaw line from all angles. This is usually performed under local anesthesia sometimes with a little oral sedation. Neck liposuction can also be combined with subdermal laser skin tightening for maximal results (see *laser-assisted liposuction* for more information).
#### Combining Procedures: Neck Lift and Facelift
Many patients find that combining a neck lift with a [facelift](/facial-plastic-surgery/face-lift/) provides the most comprehensive and harmonious rejuvenation. While our San Diego **neck lift** focuses on refining the contours of the neck and jawline, a facelift addresses sagging skin, wrinkles, and volume loss in the mid and lower face. Together, these procedures create a seamless transformation, ensuring that the face and neck appear naturally balanced and youthful. By addressing both areas simultaneously, patients often achieve more dramatic and long-lasting results with a single recovery period. This combination approach allows Dr. Yoo to tailor the treatment to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, delivering a refreshed appearance that feels entirely you.
#### Trusted Expertise. Inspired Results.
*What is the neck lift procedure like?*
During the procedure, Dr. Yoo creates discreet incisions, typically around the ears and beneath the chin, to access the underlying muscles and tissues.
Excess fat cells are removed, and sagging skin is carefully tightened to *achieve a smooth and defined neck contour*. The incisions are meticulously closed to ensure minimal scarring. Depending on the patient’s needs, the procedure may also include muscle tightening or liposuction to address stubborn fat deposits.
#### Elevate Your Elegance
*What conditions does a neck lift address?*
With a **neck lift** San Diego patients can treat several visible signs of aging in the jawline, including sagging skin, vertical neck bands, fat deposits, and the dreaded “turkey wattle” or *double chin*. It can also help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, creating a more youthful appearance. This procedure is especially effective for addressing age-related changes caused by heredity, gravity, and environmental factors, restoring balance between the neck and the upper face.
#### Lift Away the Years
*Is a neck lift right for me?*
If you are concerned about sagging skin, a double chin, or loss of definition in the neck and jawline, **neck lift** surgery could provide the solution you are looking for.
Candidates for *plastic surgery* should be in good general health, not smoke, and maintain realistic expectations about their results. While nonsurgical treatments can improve mild concerns, *a surgical neck lift is the best option for more significant rejuvenation*. Dr. Yoo will work closely with you to evaluate your needs and determine the appropriate approach based on your goals and anatomy.
#### Attentive Care at Every Step
*Neck Lift Recovery*
After your **neck lift in San Diego**, you’ll need to keep your head elevated and follow specific aftercare instructions to minimize swelling and support healing.
Most patients experience mild discomfort and swelling, which subside within the first week. Stitches are usually removed after 7–10 days, and you can resume most daily activities within two weeks. To ensure optimal results, avoid strenuous activity and direct sun exposure during your recovery.

#### A Natural Path to Restored Volume
*What is facial fat transfer?*
**Facial fat transfer**, also known as facial fat grafting, is a surgical procedure that uses excess fat from one area of your body to restore lost volume and contour your face.
*This autologous fat transfer involves harvesting fat from donor areas, such as the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and carefully injecting it into specific areas of the face*. The procedure offers a natural alternative to synthetic fillers, addressing concerns like volume loss, wrinkles, and facial asymmetry. In addition to adding volume, the growth factors in fat cells improve skin quality, making this a comprehensive solution for facial rejuvenation.
#### Artful Sculpting
*What is the facial fat transfer procedure like?*
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Yoo begins by harvesting fat from a donor area using gentle liposuction techniques. The fat is purified to remove impurities, ensuring only healthy, viable fat cells are used for transfer. *Dr. Yoo then strategically injects the fat into areas needing rejuvenation, such as the cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, or nasolabial folds*. The entire process takes about 2–3 hours, with care taken at every step to achieve natural-looking results.
#### Frame Your Best Features
*What conditions does facial fat transfer address?*

#### Versatile Sculpting and Rejuvenation
*What areas can facial fat transfer be performed on?*
The *fat grafting* method can be used to enhance several areas of the face, including:
- **Cheeks**: Adds natural-looking volume for a lifted appearance.
- **Under-eye hollows**: Reduces dark circles and sunken areas for a refreshed look.
- **Temples**: Restores fullness to areas that can become hollow with age.

*What are the benefits of facial fat transfer?*
By using your body’s own fat, our San Diego **facial fat transfer** achieves seamless integration and a soft appearance for impeccably natural-looking results.
Unlike synthetic fillers, transferred fat becomes a permanent part of your facial structure. Fat cells also contain growth factors that enhance skin texture and elasticity for a radiant look. Using your own fat cells has the added benefit of reducing the likelihood of allergic reactions or rejection. *Fat grafting provides comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing both volume loss and skin quality for holistic results*.
#### Envision What's Possible
*Is facial fat transfer right for me?*

During your consultation, Dr. Yoo will assess your facial anatomy, medical history, and goals to determine if this treatment is right for you.
#### Patient-Focused Care at Every Step

#### An Advanced Solution With Long-Lasting Results
*What is laser vein therapy?*
At our office in San Diego **laser vein therapy** (or endovenous laser ablation) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat spider veins and larger varicose veins.
The laser light is converted into thermal energy and absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, causing the veins to gradually fade and disappear. Results are permanent, delivering long-lasting confidence and beautifully youthful-looking skin. *Laser vein therapy offers a precise solution to cosmetic concerns related to blood vessels, leaving the surrounding tissue, healthy veins, and blood flow unaffected*.
#### What are varicose veins and spider veins?
*Varicose veins* are large, twisted veins that often appear on the legs, particularly in the calves and thighs. *Spider veins*, on the other hand, are smaller red or blue veins that may appear on the face, legs (especially the lower legs), or hands. Both conditions can be caused by factors such as heredity, age, pregnancy, and prolonged standing. There are a variety of ways to *treat varicose and spider veins*, including minimally invasive procedures like laser treatment, as well as more invasive surgical procedures (to treat larger varicose veins).
#### A Non-Surgical Solution to Visible Veins
*The Laser Vein Therapy Procedure*
With **laser vein therapy** San Diego patients get a quick and comfortable procedure.
Your skilled *laser treatment* provider will apply a cooling gel to the treatment area and then use a laser device to deliver precise pulses of light. You may feel a slight snapping sensation during the treatment. However, any discomfort is generally mild and subsides shortly after your appointment.
#### Brighten Your Confidence
*What conditions does laser vein therapy address?*
**Laser vein therapy** is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment used to treat a variety of concerns, including:
- **Spider Veins:** Small red or blue veins that often appear on the legs and face.
- **Varicose Veins:** Larger, twisted veins that can cause pain and discomfort.
- **Vascular lesions: **Rosacea and red birthmarks.
- **Chronic venous insufficiency: **A circulatory condition that prevents veins from circulating blood properly, causing varicose veins and other symptoms.
- **Capillary malformations: **Birthmarks and other capillary malformations.
#### Eliminate Unwanted Veins
*What areas of the body can Laser vein therapy address?*
*Laser vein treatment* is most commonly used as a facial treatment for varicose veins or leg vein treatment; however, it can also be used to eliminate unwanted veins in other areas.
#### An Ideal Solution

- **Minimally Invasive:** No incisions or anesthesia required.
- **Quick Recovery:** Minimal downtime and quick recovery.

However, it's important to consult with one of our qualified providers to determine if this treatment is right for you.
#### No Surgery. No Downtime.

#### Lift Your Lips, Light Up the Room
*Why Choose SKY Facial Plastic Surgery for a Lip Lift?*
The lips can be one of your most captivating features, but age and genetics can cause the lips to lose their luster. A **lip lift in San Diego** is a surgical procedure that enhances the shape and position of the upper lip, creating a more youthful, balanced, and attractive appearance. Unlike temporary solutions like [lip fillers](/injectables-fillers/injectables/lip-filler/), *lip lift surgery* provides lasting results by shortening the distance between the lip and nose and revealing more of the vermillion, or the pink portion of the lip tissue.
Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sirius K. Yoo combines technical expertise and a keen artistic eye to craft shapely lip contours that enhance the harmony of your facial features. With a dedicated focus on facial procedures, Dr. Yoo is known for personalized care tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Schedule your consultation today to *discover how a lip lift can enhance your natural beauty*.
#### Lip Lift at a Glance

- **Procedure Time**: Typically 1–2 hours.
- **Downtime**: Recovery lasts about 1 week, with mild swelling and minimal discomfort.
- **Anesthesia**: Performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation.
- **Results**: Long-lasting, subtle enhancement of the shape and proportion of your lips
#### Redefine Your Smile
*What is a lip lift?*
Age-related changes to the lips include loss of volume, elongation of the white portion of the lip, reduction of the visible red part of the lip (vermillion), wrinkling, and pigment variations.
A *lip lift* is a surgical procedure to shorten the upper lip to return it to a more youthful proportion. This cosmetic procedure can also increase the amount of vermillion that shows by rotating the red part of the lip upward. **Lip lift** surgery is accomplished with a small incision beneath the nose or along the border between the red and white lip (vermillion border).
By lifting the upper lip, this technique reveals more of the pink lip tissue, enhances the cupid’s bow, and allows more of the upper teeth to show for a balanced, attractive smile. There are various lip lift techniques, including the *bullhorn lip lift* and *corner lip lift*, each tailored to meet the patient’s specific aesthetic goals. A lip lift is ideal for those seeking permanent lip enhancement without relying on temporary fillers.
#### Shapely Contours
*What is the lip lift procedure like?*
On the day of your San diego **lip lift** surgery, Dr. Yoo begins by creating precise incisions along the crease beneath the nose. Using advanced surgical techniques, he removes a small amount of excess skin, lifting and securing the upper lip to its new position. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience. Dr. Yoo meticulously closes the incisions to minimize visible scarring and ensure a natural result.
#### Poise and Elegance
*What conditions does a lip lift address?*
With a **lip lift** San Diego patients can improve the appearance of the lips in several ways:
- Long upper lip: Reduces the distance between the nose and upper lip for improved facial balance.
- Aging lips: Restores a youthful appearance by elevating and enhancing the lip shape.
- Flat or thin lips: Adds subtle volume and definition to the upper lip.
- Downturned corners: Corrects the position of the lip corners for a more pleasant expression.
#### Lasting Benefits
*What are the benefits of a lip lift?*
A **lip lift** offers several unique advantages, including:
- **Enhanced lip shape**: Improves the cupid’s bow and overall symmetry.
- **Long-lasting results**: Provides permanent enhancement without the need for repeat treatments with lip fillers.
- **Balanced aesthetics**: Creates a harmonious proportion between the lips and other features.
- **Revealed teeth**: Allows the upper teeth to show subtly, enhancing your smile.
- **Natural-looking enhancement**: Delivers subtle yet noticeable improvement in lip volume and position.
#### Picture-Perfect Lips
*Is a lip lift right for me?*
You may be a good candidate for a lip lift if you are seeking permanent lip enhancement. Our San diego **lip lift** procedure is especially suited for patients with a long upper lip, flat or thin lips, or signs of aging like lost volume or shapeliness.
*Lip lift* candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for their results. This procedure is a great alternative for patients looking to avoid the repetitive maintenance required with lip augmentation with injectable treatments like lip fillers. During your consultation, Dr. Yoo will assess your facial anatomy and goals to *determine if a lip lift is the right option for you*.
#### A Quick Recovery
*Lip Lift Recovery*
*Recovery from a lip lift is relatively quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within 5–7 days*. Light swelling and discomfort are common during the first few days but resolve with proper aftercare and prescribed medications. Dr. Yoo provides detailed post-operative care instructions, including keeping your head elevated and avoiding strenuous activities. The incision line for a **lip lift** is carefully placed along the natural crease beneath the nose, ensuring minimal scarring as the body heals.
#### Subtly Enhanced, Boldly Beautiful
*Lip Lift Results*
**Lip lift** results are transformative yet natural-looking, creating fuller lips, enhanced shape, and a balanced facial appearance.

#### Experience the Freedom of Smooth Skin
*Why Choose SKY Facial Plastic Surgery for Laser Hair Removal?*
At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery in San Diego, CA, we offer permanent *laser hair reduction* to ensure you feel smooth and confident. Our advanced technology targets hair follicles, reducing hair growth and promoting smoother, more beautiful skin. **Laser hair removal** offers long-lasting results, eliminating the drawbacks of other methods like shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams and ushering in a new era of ongoing confidence.
#### Laser Hair Removal at a Glance
- **What it is:** A non-invasive procedure that uses laser energy to target and destroy hair follicles.
- **Benefits:** Permanent hair reduction, smooth skin, and increased confidence.
- **Downtime:** Minimal downtime, with temporary redness and irritation.
- **Duration:** Individual sessions typically last 15-30 minutes.
- **Results:** Gradual hair reduction over multiple sessions.
#### An Effective Solution to Unwanted Hair
*What is laser hair removal?*
At our office in San Diego **laser hair removal** is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) or laser energy to target and inhibit hair follicles.
This prevents future hair growth without damaging surrounding skin, leading to long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
#### How does laser hair removal work?
**Laser hair removal** works by targeting the melanin pigment in hair follicles. As the laser energy is absorbed by the pigment, it is converted into thermal energy to damage the hair follicle and inhibit future hair growth. Over time, repeated treatments can lead to significant hair reduction in treated areas.
#### Light the Way to Smoother Skin
*The Laser Hair Removal Procedure*
During your treatment for **laser hair removal in San Diego**, a laser device delivers pulses of light energy to the hair follicles. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light energy, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. Treatment is quite tolerable for most patients. You may notice a snapping sensation (similar to a rubber band) as the laser targets *unwanted hair*.
#### Lasting Freedom From Unwanted Hair
*What conditions does laser hair removal treat?*
With **laser hair removal** San Diego patients can treat unwanted hair growth on the face. In addition to *permanent hair reduction*, laser treatment reduces conditions related to other depilatory methods, such as ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and skin irritation.

#### Effective for Most Patients

*Laser hair removal is most effective for individuals with dark, coarse hair and lighter skin*. Our laser specialists will assess your skin and hair type to determine whether **laser hair removal** is an effective solution for your needs.
#### A Smooth Experience

#### What is a Brow Lift?
*A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, raises sagging eyebrows back to their youthful position and tightens the forehead area, removing wrinkles.*
This procedure can be used to shape the eyebrows and create a pleasing arch. While trained in all approaches, the most common one that Dr. Yoo employs is the endoscopic technique or "endobrow". This hides small incisions behind the hair line and uses specialized endoscopic equipment to reposition and stabilize the eyebrows.
If you feel you have deep frown lines, wrinkles across the forehead, or sagging eyebrows, a brow lift may be a good option for you.

#### Brow Lift Procedure
At our practice in San Diego **brow lift surgery** is commonly performed on an outpatient basis and usually under general anesthesia. The procedure normally takes about one to two hours.
Depending on the patient, Dr. Yoo will use an endoscopic or open technique.
*Endoscopic* - A small telescope and surgical instrumentation are inserted via small incisions behind the hairline and used to pull up the forehead tissues and re-suspend them.
*Open* - Longer incisions are made either along the hairline or behind it, allowing the surgeon direct access to the tissues that need to be removed or suspended.

#### More Collagen. Minimal Recovery.
*What is microneedling?*
*Microneedling* (also called collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. As a result, our San Diego **microneedling** treatment can help restore the skin's youthful appearance, tone, and texture.
#### SkinPen Microneedling at SKY Facial Plastic Surgery
Our *SkinPen treatments* are designed to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out, improving your complexion and providing your skin with a natural, healthy-looking glow. With just a 30-minute treatment, you can achieve more than 3 million microchannels in your skin, which *stimulates collagen production* and reduces pore size, fine lines, and other signs of aging. This tissue remodeling also works well for improving the appearance of scars, including acne scars.

SkinPen is the leader of **microneedling** technology, having received FDA clearance in 2018 for the treatment of acne scars, which are notoriously difficult to successfully treat.

*The SkinPen device is engineered and manufactured in the USA, adhering to the highest standards in the industry to ensure quality, safety, and performance*. The device is backed by more than 90 validation studies, proving its effectiveness for all skin types. Clinical trials have shown that 94% of patients noticed an improvement in how their neck wrinkles looked at one-month post-treatment, and 90% of acne scar clinical trial subjects would recommend it to their friends and family.
#### A Bright, Smooth, Rejuvenated Complexion
*What is the microneedling procedure like?*
During your treatment with **microneedling** San Diego treatment specialists will use the handheld *SkinPen microneedling* device to create tiny holes evenly throughout the targeted area.
The controlled micro-injuries trigger your skin’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Though the treatment is tolerable for most people, your specialist will apply numbing cream to the targeted area to ensure your most comfortable *microneedling* experience. Treatment duration depends on the size of the treatment area; however, most patients can expect their *microneedling treatment* to take about half an hour.
*Your SKY SkinPen Specialist*

#### Compassion, Skill, and Expertise
*What is a facelift?*
A facelift, or *rhytidectomy*, is a surgical procedure that offers comprehensive rejuvenation of the mid and lower face by lifting and tightening sagging skin, repositioning deeper tissues, and removing excess skin to restore youthful contours.
This transformative treatment addresses signs of aging such as deep wrinkles, sagging cheeks, and jowls, delivering natural-looking, long-lasting results. An effective **facelift in San Diego** will restore youthful contours to the cheeks, jawline, and neck while maintaining a natural appearance. Patients should look refreshed and not pulled or wind blown. Scars are hidden and minimized. *It is important to explain that a facelift alone does not address the forehead, eyes or midface*. These areas are commonly treated at the same time via combined procedures (for example, [blepharoplasty](/facial-plastic-surgery/blepharoplasty/), [fat transfer](/facial-plastic-surgery/fat-transfer/), or [brow lift](/facial-plastic-surgery/brow-lift/)).
[.text-gold-darker]“You exude a caring and compassion like I have never experienced in any medical circumstances. Your consultation was sincere, your care unprecedented. You were so gentle, and I’d love to shout your name from the rooftops.”[]

#### Our Process
*What is the facelift procedure like?*
At SKY, we care about providing a seamless and empowering experience from the moment you contact our office for a consultation. Here is what to expect in our process:
**Consultation**
Consultations are the best way to discuss your needs with Dr. Sirius K. Yoo, our *double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon* and San Diego **facelift** specialist. It is important to choose *the best facelift surgeon*. Please call [(858) 381-4801](tel:(858) 381-4801) to schedule a consultation with Dr. Yoo at our San Diego office.
**Procedure**
*Facelift surgery is commonly performed on an outpatient basis*. At SKY, it is completed under general anesthesia.
In a **facelift** San Diego patients will have the incisions hidden behind the hairline, placed within natural skin folds, shadow lines, or behind the ears to minimize visible scarring. After the incisions are made, Dr. Yoo will remove excess fat and lift and tighten the supportive muscles in the face and neck.
The face is generally lifted in a more vertical vector compared to the neck. This is accomplished by splitting the SMAS just below and parallel to the jaw line. Another benefit of this technique is that it allows the definition at the angle of the mandible to be preserved or even augmented if desired. Because every patient has different facial anatomy, the exact vector of the lift is determined based on the direction of pre-surgical laxity. Dr. Yoo will then re-drape the facial skin without tension, removing the excess. *Modern facelifts do not pull on the skin*. This technique allows for a more natural, comprehensive and long lasting result. After the extra skin is removed, the incisions are closed with sutures and a support dressing is applied.
#### Turn Back the Clock
*What conditions does a facelift address?*
A **facelift** is the most comprehensive approach for treating signs of aging in the mid to lower face, including:
- **Sagging skin**: Tightens loose skin on the face and neck for a smoother appearance.
- **Deep wrinkles**: Reduces nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other facial creases.
- **Loss of volume**: Restores fullness to areas like the cheeks and jawline.
- **Facial sagging**: Corrects drooping tissues for a more youthful contour.
- **Aging neck**: May be combined with a neck lift to address excess skin and improve neck contours.
#### Every Lift Has a Purpose
*Facelift Techniques*
Dr. Yoo believes that *facelift surgery* should never look like you’ve had a procedure, but rather a return to your most vibrant self. By focusing on the deeper tissues rather than just the surface, he achieves facial rejuvenation that maintains your natural character while making you appear well-rested and rejuvenated.
#### Investing in Your Results
*Facelift Cost in San Diego*
*A surgical facelift is an investment in your long-term confidence*.

#### Is a facelift in your future?
*Am I a candidate for a facelift?*
A **facelift** is the most comprehensive approach for addressing moderate to severe signs of aging, such as sagging skin, deep facial wrinkles, or loss of volume.
*Facelift candidates* should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for their results. This procedure is particularly beneficial for those looking for long-lasting rejuvenation who are prepared for the recovery process. During your consultation, Dr. Yoo will evaluate your facial anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine if a *facelift* is the right choice for you.
#### What to Expect After Surgery
*Facelift Recovery*
Swelling and bruising are normal after surgery. Bruising can be apparent for up to two weeks and swelling gradually diminishes over time.
Pain is minimal and is controlled with oral medications. Most patients are able to return to their usual routine within two weeks. [Dr. Yoo](/about/meet-dr-yoo/) will check your healing at post-op visits and remain available to provide extra guidance and support throughout the recovery process.

### Content
#### What it is
*Otoplasty or ear reshaping surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure for improving the shape, proportion and placement of the ear.*
*Ear surgery* can also be used to correct deformities, birth defects and treat any injury-related trauma to the ear.
There are several different techniques Dr. Yoo may use to *reshape the ear*. Typically, the main incision is made behind the ear so no scarring will be visible post surgery. Dr. Yoo may remove a minimal portion of the cartilage or chose to fold and stitch the cartilage, rather than cutting any cartilage out. At our office in San Diego **otoplasty** is commonly performed on an outpatient basis and usually under local anesthesia with an oral sedation cocktail for adults and general anesthesia for children.
After an **otoplasty** San Diego patients will have to wear a bandage for five to seven days and a neoprene ear protector must be worn for a month at night while sleeping to prevent the ears from being accidentally pulled forward. Any scars at the incision will fade over a period of time. Benefits are permanent, unless a complication occurs and causes loss of correction.

### Content
#### What is Asian Blepharoplasty?
*While there is great variability in the shape of the asian upper eyelid, commonly the crease is lower than the western eyelid.*
This is due to fibers extending from the muscle that raises the eyelid (levator palpebrae superioris) to the skin either not being present or inserting into the skin near the lash line. Eyelid shape is very much a personal preference. Some patients prefer the appearance of a higher crease and illusion of larger, more open eyes.
[Book A Consultation](/consultations/)
#### Our Process
*What to expect in our process:*
Consultation
Consultations are the best way to discuss your needs with Dr. Sirius K. Yoo, our double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Call [(858) 381-4801](tel:(858) 381-4801) to schedule a consultation with Dr. Yoo at our San Diego office.
#### Asian Blepharoplasty Procedure
At our practice in San Diego **asian blepharoplasty** is commonly performed on an outpatient basis. It is accomplished with local anesthesia, oral sedation, or general anesthesia depending on doctor and patient preference. The procedure normally takes *one to two hours*.
[San Diego plastic surgeon](/), Dr. Yoo, makes an incision at the predetermined height of the new crease of the upper lid. If there are age related changes to the eyelid, excess skin is removed as well as excess fat. The incision is then carried down to the muscle that elevates the eyelid and 4-5 sutures are then placed connecting the muscle to the underside of the skin where the new crease is to be created. To close the incision, Dr. Yoo uses fine sutures that minimize scarring.
*“Dr. Yoo did an amazing job with my eyelids. Everything looks so natural.”*
*— Asian Blepharoplasty Patient*
#### Asian Blepharoplasty Recovery
Following an **asian blepharoplasty** San Diego patients go home the same day. Bruising and swelling for a week to ten days is normal, but swelling of the area between the crease and eyelashes slowly goes away over several months which is a longer period than most surgeries. The effect of this is that the crease can look higher than where it will eventually rest.
Dr. Yoo may prescribe home care including:
- applying eye ointment to prevent dryness
- gentle cleansing of the eye area coupled with eye drops
- avoiding certain activities and environments
At the one week follow-up visit, we will remove any permanent skin stitches. Self-absorbing stitches dissolve on their own.

#### Revitalize Your Eyes with Blepharoplasty
*Why Choose SKY Plastic Surgery for Eyelid Surgery in San Diego?*
Your eyes are the focal point of your face, conveying emotion and vitality.

#### Blepharoplasty at a Glance
- **Duration**: 1-3 hours
- **Downtime**: 1-2 weeks for recovery
- **Anesthesia**: Local with sedation or general anesthesia
- **Results**: Long-lasting with a rejuvenated, youthful appearance
#### The Key to Rejuvenated Eyes
*What is blepharoplasty?*
**Blepharoplasty**, or *eyelid surgery*, corrects the signs of aging that occurs in the upper and lower eyelids.
The procedure removes or r*epositions excess skin, fat, and muscle*, addressing common concerns like drooping upper lids, under-eye puffiness, and fine lines. As we age, the shape and contour of the eyelids change, and the skin becomes hooded, and fat prolapses, leading to both puffy and sunken areas. Blepharoplasty removes redundant skin and either reposition fat or removes excess to restore the eyes to a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Yoo is an expert in upper and lower lid blepharoplasty. He tailors his approach to the patient's specific needs. Dr. Yoo specializes in fat preservation by repositioning it to fill in areas of hollowness. This can often lead to more impressive lower lid rejuvenation than conventional lower lid blepharoplasty. He is also a leader in the transconjunctival approach that leads to scarless results.
*Options include:*
- **Upper Eyelid Surgery**: Targets upper eyelid skin, removing excess skin and improving vision obstructed by drooping eyelid skin (eyelid ptosis).
- **Lower Blepharoplasty**: Corrects under-eye bags, puffiness, excess fat, and lax skin for a smoother, youthful appearance.
- **Upper and Lower Eyelids Combination**: A comprehensive approach to enhance both areas for a harmonious look.
#### Enhance Your Upper and Lower Eyelids
*What is the blepharoplasty procedure like?*
At our practice in San Diego **blepharoplasty** is a straightforward surgical procedure performed in a comfortable, safe environment:
- **Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty**: During upper eyelid surgery, a small incision is made in the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing for removal of excess skin and repositioning of fat for a smoother, lifted appearance - and no more droopy eyelids.
- **Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty**: For the lower eyelid, incisions are made just below the lash line or inside the lid to address under-eye puffiness, remove fat, and tighten sagging skin.
Both procedures are performed as an outpatient surgery, ensuring a convenient recovery experience.
#### Subtly Transformative
*What conditions does blepharoplasty address?*
Blepharoplasty effectively treats:
- Excess eyelid skin causing drooping or puffiness
- Sagging skin on the upper eyelid that may impair vision
- Under-eye bags and puffiness in the lower eyelid
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
#### Defining Eyes
*What are the benefits of blepharoplasty?*
With a **blepharoplasty** San Diego patients can see some of these benefits:

- Enhances facial harmony with minimal scarring
- Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results
By addressing concerns like sagging skin and excess skin, this procedure enhances confidence and revitalizes your overall appearance.
#### Customized Enhancement

You may be a candidate for blepharoplasty if you:
- Have sagging skin or drooping upper lids

- Desire a refreshed, youthful appearance without drastic changes
Patients seeking a more comprehensive lift may benefit from combining **blepharoplasty **with a [brow lift](/facial-plastic-surgery/brow-lift/) for optimal results.
#### Rested and Radiant
*Blepharoplasty Recovery*
**Recovery from blepharoplasty** is typically smooth and manageable, allowing most patients to resume their normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

Dr. Yoo customizes each **revision rhinoplasty** using advanced techniques to restore balance, refine the nasal tip, and improve overall harmony with your facial features.
#### Artistry and Attention to Detail
*What is the revision rhinoplasty procedure like?*
Dr. Yoo will evaluate your nasal structure and discuss the surgical plan. On the day of your surgery, he will use either open or closed techniques, making precise incisions to access the underlying tissues and cartilage. Depending on the patient’s needs, the procedure may involve cartilage grafts, *septal reconstruction*, or *reshaping of the nasal tip or bridge*. General anesthesia ensures a comfortable experience throughout the surgery, which typically takes several hours due to the intricate nature of revision cases.

## Rhinoplasty
**Link:** [Rhinoplasty](https://skyfacialplasticsurgery.com/facial-plastic-surgery/rhinoplasty/) ([md](https://skyfacialplasticsurgery.com/facial-plastic-surgery/rhinoplasty/index.html.md))
**Type:** Service
**Description:** At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery in San Diego, we offer Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery for those who want to change with their nose.
### Content
#### What is Rhinoplasty
Usually, our patients have a combination of areas they want to change with their nose. The most common changes people request are *dorsal hump removal*, making the nose straighter, smaller, narrower, or more defined. However, all of our patients share a common goal: a natural-looking nose that is in better harmony with the other structures of the face. A nose that looks good on one person may not be as attractive on another. Dr. Yoo can guide you through his San Diego **rhinoplasty** process to achieve your best result.
[Book A Consultation](/consultations/)
#### Our Process
*What to expect in our Rhinoplasty process:*
Consultation
This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We will initially ask you about your medical history that could be pertinent to treatments we may offer. We will also ask you about the kinds of changes you would like to make. Your photos will be taken in standardized positions. Dr. Yoo will then examine you and your nose. Based on this information, he will create a tailored surgical plan that addresses your goals and takes into consideration what is possible based on your individual anatomy. We may be able to make photo simulations to help you visualize an approximation of the **rhinoplasty** outcome.
#### Procedure
For **rhinoplasty** San Diego patients will usually have it performed under general anesthesia on an “outpatient” basis, meaning they can go home the same day. The surgery itself takes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity.
Your *cosmetic rhinoplasty* will be performed at SKY, in our fully accredited surgery center. Operating out of our own onsite surgery center allows us to better control your patient experience. The check-in process is quicker, the entire surgery team is focused on only you, and you are assigned a dedicated recovery nurse. The anesthesiologists and nurses on our surgery team also work in San Diego’s largest hospitals, ensuring you receive the best standard of care.
#### Rhinoplasty Recovery
We recommend planning for *a week of recovery at home after rhinoplasty*. Dr. Yoo may place a splint on the outside of your nose for the first week to provide support during the most critical healing phase. Your nose and the surrounding area will be swollen and possibly bruised. Most bruising resolves within 10 days. The swelling subsides more gradually. Dr. Yoo likes to say you’ll be “restaurant ready” in two weeks, meaning when you are out in public, most people will not be able to tell that you had a **rhinoplasty** surgery.
#### Follow Up Care After Rhinoplasty
Dr. Yoo will want to see you after 1 week, 1 month, 4 months and 8 months.
While most swelling resolves within the first few weeks, the swelling around the tip of your nose resolves very gradually, over the course of the year.

## Corrugator Muscle Lysis Frown Lines Removal

**Type:** Service
**Description:** At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery in San Diego, we offer Frown Line Treatments using Corrugator Muscle Lysis to achieve natural, youthful results.
### Content
#### Frown Line Treatment with Dr. Sirius K. Yoo
*Erase Frown Lines With Ease*
*Frown lines*, also known as *glabellar lines*, can make you appear older or perpetually worried. At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery in San Diego, Dr. Sirius K. Yoo specializes in advanced **frown line treatment** using *Corrugator Muscle Lysis* to achieve natural, youthful results. This technique, which targets the underlying muscles responsible for frown lines, offers a precise and effective solution for those looking to soften their facial expressions and rejuvenate their appearance.
[Book A Consultation](/consultations/)
#### Wipe Away Worries
Frown lines are caused by repeated muscle movement, particularly the contraction of the corrugator muscles located between the eyebrows. Over time, these muscles create deep lines that can make you appear older or more stressed. Our San Diego **frown line treatment** is done through Corrugator Muscle Lysis, which involves permanently relaxing the muscle by cutting certain parts of it. Another, more temporary solution is to use Botulinum toxin injections, such as [Botox](/injectables-fillers/botox/) or *Dysport*. Both result in a smoother forehead and glabellar area, offering a more youthful appearance.
*Frown Line Treatment at SKY Facial Plastic Surgery targets the overactive corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles that etch vertical “11 lines” between your brows*. While neuromodulators such as [Botox®](/injectables-fillers/botox/) or Dysport® offer a temporary fix, our endoscopic Corrugator Muscle Lysis (CML) weakens or completely releases those muscles through two tiny incisions hidden in the hairline, delivering a potentially long-lasting solution with no visible scar and a more youthful appearance. This is a treatment option worth considering for patients who are not candidates for neuromodulator injections or who want longer-lasting results.
#### More Than Smooth Skin
Frown Line Treatment Benefits
The benefits of **frown line treatment in San Diego** extend beyond reducing dynamic wrinkles and *improving severe frown lines*. By targeting the muscles responsible for glabellar lines and forehead lines, this treatment offers a range of advantages.
- Permanent or very long-term smoothing of frown lines
- No forehead scars. Incisions are camouflaged in the scalp
- Outpatient surgery
- Reduces or eliminates the need for frequent neuromodulator injections
- Can be paired with brow lift or eyelid surgery for upper-face rejuvenation
#### Is Frown Line Treatment for You?
*Frown Line Treatment Candidates*
Our **San Diego frown line treatment** is ideal for individuals who have developed glabellar lines, forehead lines, or worry lines due to the repetitive movement of facial muscles. The procedure is suitable for patients who have etched-in moderate to severe glabellar lines that return quickly after *Botox*, prefer a one-and-done or long-term fix over maintenance injections, and are in good overall health with realistic expectations.
Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain muscle conditions, or have uncontrolled bleeding disorders or severe brow ptosis (which is better treated by a [brow lift](/facial-plastic-surgery/brow-lift/)) may not be suitable candidates. During your consultation, Dr. Yoo will evaluate your medical history to ensure you're a good candidate for treatment.
#### Facial Rejuvenation Made Simple
*Consultation and Preparation*
At your consultation for **frown line treatment** San Diego double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sirius K. Yoo maps your corrugator anatomy and reviews photos of your brow at rest and in motion. He will also assess your facial muscles, skin condition, and overall health to determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs. Ten days before surgery, discontinue blood thinners and herbal supplements (with your primary physician’s approval). Arrange a driver for the day of surgery and plan for roughly 48 hours of light downtime.
#### The Secret to Smoother Skin
*Your Frown Line Treatment*
The **frown line treatment** is a quick and effective procedure. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Yoo inserts a slim endoscope through two 1.5 cm scalp incisions. He identifies and selectively releases or resects the corrugator and procerus fibers responsible for the scowl reflex. Absorbable sutures close the incisions, all concealed within the hairline. Surgical time is typically 60 to 90 minutes.
If you are looking for a more temporary solution, Dr. Yoo can administer Dysport or Botox injections into the facial muscles to temporarily relax them.
Complementary procedures can include:
- Brow Lift – Elevates the entire forehead for a refreshed contour
- Upper or Lower Blepharoplasty – Addresses sagging lids or under-eye bags
- Fractional Laser Resurfacing – Refines skin texture and residual fine lines
- Dermal Fillers – Restore mid-face volume to harmonize with your smoother brow (can fix marionette lines, laugh lines, lip lines, and other fine lines and wrinkles)
#### Elegant and Timeless
*Results, Recovery, and Aftercare*
After your **frown line treatment**, results typically become visible immediately after swelling subsides. Your final results should be visible around four to six weeks. Clinical studies show superior long-term wrinkle reduction compared to techniques that leave the muscles intact, with most patients enjoying permanently relaxed brows. You will notice a smoother forehead and reduced dynamic wrinkles, giving you a more refreshed and youthful appearance with natural-looking results.
Post-treatment care is relatively simple. For optimal results, keep your head elevated for the first 48 hours, refrain from strenuous exercise for one week, and do not touch any bandaging or gauze near the treatment area (or injection sites if you get Botox injections). Apply cold compresses in 15-minute intervals on day one, and shield the forehead from sun exposure with a hat and SPF 30+ for at least six weeks. *Sun damage can not only cause more fine lines and wrinkles over time, but it can also darken scars and make them a lot more noticeable*.
Expect mild swelling and forehead tightness for three to five days. Bruising, if present, usually clears within a week. Most people return to office work in five to seven days and resume gym activity in two weeks.
#### Frown Line Fix with Dr. Yoo
*Why Choose SKY Facial Plastic Surgery?*

**Type:** Service

### Content
#### Youthful Facial Contours and Radiance
*Why Choose SKY Facial Plastic Surgery for Radiesse?*
At SKY Facial Plastic Surgery in San Diego, Dr. Yoo offers personalized *cheek enhancement treatments* using dermal fillers like **Radiesse**, trusted for its natural-looking results. Instead of simply focusing on one area, Dr. Yoo takes a holistic approach to facial volume restoration, considering how each treatment will enhance your entire face.
#### Cheek Filler at a Glance
- **What it is**: Non-surgical procedure using fillers, like Radiesse, restore volume and enhance cheek definition.
- **Benefits**: Adds youthful fullness, defines the cheekbones, smooths lines, and improves facial volume for a more balanced, sculpted look.
- **Downtime**: Minimal. You can resume normal activities immediately, though minor swelling or bruising may occur for a few days.
- **Duration**: Results typically last 6-18 months, depending on the filler used and individual factors.
- **Ideal for**: Those looking to restore facial volume, improve cheek contour, or reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and other wrinkles.
#### Restore Volume and Definition
*What is the Radiesse cheek filler?*
Cheek filler treatments with **Radiesse in San Diego** offer a non-surgical solution for restoring youthful volume and enhancing the contours of your face.
As we age, the natural volume in our cheeks diminishes, leading to a loss of definition and a more sunken appearance. *Cheek fillers* provide an effective way to reverse this process, creating defined cheekbones and rejuvenating your overall facial structure. Whether you’re seeking to restore volume, smooth smile lines, or achieve a more sculpted look, *cheek filler injections can help you achieve your aesthetic goals with minimal downtime*.
#### Effortless Beauty
*What is the cheek filler procedure like?*
During your initial consultation, Dr. Yoo will discuss your aesthetic goals and assess the structure of your face to create a customized treatment plan. Our San Diego **Radiesse** procedure is quick and minimally invasive, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort thanks to a numbing agent applied to the treatment area. Once the filler is injected beneath the skin, it will work to restore volume, enhance definition, and sculpt the cheeks to your desired shape. Injectable fillers are used to ensure your treatment plan provides optimal *cheek enhancement*.
#### Solutions for Volume Loss, Undefined Cheekbones, and More
*What conditions does Radiesse address?*
**Radiesse** can address a variety of common facial concerns, offering non-surgical solutions for those seeking enhanced volume and definition:
- **Volume loss:** As we age, the cheeks lose volume, leading to a sunken or hollow appearance. Cheek fillers restore volume, giving the face a fuller, more youthful look.
- **Flat or undefined cheekbones: **Cheek augmentation with fillers enhances the natural contours of the face, creating more prominent and defined cheekbones.
- **Nasolabial folds:** By adding volume to the cheeks, cheek fillers help smooth and soften deep lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- **Sagging skin: **Over time, skin can lose elasticity and sag, particularly around the cheeks. Dermal fillers lift and support the skin, creating a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- **Wrinkles and fine lines:** Fillers smooth out wrinkles in the lower face, helping to restore a more youthful, vibrant look by enhancing the overall structure.
- **Asymmetrical appearance: **For patients with concerns about facial asymmetry, cheek filler can provide a more balanced, symmetrical contour.
*Cheek fillers are a versatile treatment that can address multiple concerns, rejuvenating your face without the need for invasive surgery*.
#### Fuller, Defined Cheeks
*What are the benefits of cheek filler with Radiesse?*
**Radiesse** treatments provide a wide range of benefits, from restoring youthful contours to softening the appearance of nasolabial folds (smile lines). These dermal filler injections restore volume and stimulate collagen production, giving you a more youthful, refreshed appearance. By adding volume beneath the skin's surface, *cheek fillers* can smooth out wrinkles, improve skin tissue structure, and redefine your facial features without the need for invasive surgery.
- **Restore volume: **Adds fullness to the cheeks, giving your face a more youthful, rounded appearance.
- **Defined cheekbones:** Enhances your facial contours, creating a sculpted look.
- **Smooth wrinkles:** Softens lines such as nasolabial folds by adding volume to the cheeks.
- **Low risk: **Cheek filler injections are a low-risk, non-surgical alternative to invasive procedures like fat grafting.
- **Quick results:** Enjoy noticeable improvements immediately after the procedure with minimal recovery time.
#### Redefine Your Radiance
*Am I a candidate for Radiesse?*
*Cheek filler injections are ideal for individuals who have noticed a loss of facial volume due to aging or weight loss and wish to restore facial volume and youthful contours*.
If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to improve the definition of your cheeks or soften nasolabial folds, cheek fillers may be an excellent option. However, if you have serious complications such as skin allergies or a history of allergic reactions to dermal fillers, Dr. Yoo will work with you to find the best alternative.
If you’re considering a treatment with **Radiesse** San Diego patients should know that it’s important that these fillers are specifically designed to provide safe, natural-looking results, which is why they’re commonly used for cheek augmentation. These fillers integrate well with the skin, enhancing natural facial anatomy for a smooth, sculpted effect.
#### Elevate Your Aesthetic
*Radiesse Recovery*
One of the main advantages of *cheek fillers* is their quick recovery time. There’s minimal downtime, and most patients can return to their normal activities right after the procedure.
However, it’s common to experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a few days. Dr. Yoo will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your recovery goes smoothly and results are maximized.
#### A Sophisticated Enhancement
*Radiesse Results*
You will see early results immediately after your **Radiesse** injections, with full results appearing within a week as any swelling or bruising subsides. Patients can expect to see fuller cheekbones with more definition, a reduction in nasolabial folds, and enhanced overall facial contours. While the results are long-lasting, they are not permanent, so you will need touch-up appointments to maintain your ideal look.
*Cheek filler results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months*, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism. Fillers like Radiesse provide long-lasting results, but touch-up treatments are necessary to maintain a youthful look over time.
