Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve appearance and breathing function. Ideal for correcting structural imperfections or enhancing facial harmony, this procedure addresses bumps, asymmetry, and breathing issues. Dr. Hamilton's dual board certification ensures precise, natural results tailored to individual anatomy. Patients experience improved self-confidence and functional benefits, with recovery typically lasting 1-2 weeks for initial results and up to a year for full healing.
Facelift
Facelift surgery rejuvenates aging facial features by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Targeting jowls, sagging skin, and neck laxity, it restores youthful contours with results lasting 10+ years. Dr. Hamilton offers traditional and mini facelifts, customized to patient needs. Recovery involves 2-4 weeks of swelling reduction, with long-term satisfaction from natural, refreshed appearances that maintain facial expressiveness.
BOTOX
BOTOX injections reduce fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Effective for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases, results appear within days and last 3-5 months. Hamilton's CANS-certified injectors use premium products like Dysport and Xeomin, ensuring safe, subtle enhancements. Treatments require no downtime, making them ideal for quick, non-surgical facial rejuvenation with immediate return to daily activities.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing improves skin texture by addressing sun damage, scars, and uneven tone. Using CO2 and Sciton Joule lasers, this treatment stimulates collagen production for smoother, tighter skin. Ideal for facial rejuvenation, recovery involves 1-3 weeks of peeling and redness. Patients achieve long-lasting results with enhanced radiance, making it a popular choice for combating signs of aging and environmental damage.
Medical Spa
The medical spa offers non-surgical skincare solutions including chemical peels, HydraFacials, and dermaplaning. These treatments address acne, hyperpigmentation, and dullness through customized regimens. Administered by licensed aestheticians, services provide immediate glow and cumulative benefits. Patients enjoy relaxing sessions with no downtime, maintaining youthful skin through regular maintenance tailored to individual concerns and goals.

Questions
What sets Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery apart from other practices?
Dr. Hamilton's exclusive focus on facial plastic surgery, dual board certification, and recognition as a Top Physician ensure unparalleled expertise. Our team combines artistic vision with advanced techniques for natural, confidence-boosting results tailored to individual anatomy.
How do I determine which facial procedure is right for me?
During a private consultation, Dr. Hamilton evaluates your facial structure, discusses goals, and recommends personalized solutions. Whether surgical or non-surgical, our approach ensures treatments align with your unique aesthetic vision and lifestyle needs.
What can I expect during recovery from facial surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure but typically involves 1-2 weeks of swelling reduction. Dr. Hamilton provides detailed post-op instructions, including head elevation and activity restrictions. Most patients resume normal activities within 2-3 weeks, with full results appearing over 6-12 months.
Are non-surgical treatments like BOTOX and fillers safe?
Yes, when administered by our CANS-certified injectors. We use FDA-approved products and follow strict safety protocols. Treatments require no downtime, with temporary side effects like mild redness or swelling resolving within hours to days.
How do laser treatments improve skin quality?
Laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production, addressing sun damage, scars, and texture irregularities. CO2 and Sciton Joule lasers precisely target skin layers, promoting renewal for smoother, tighter, more radiant results with visible improvements after 1-3 sessions.
Does insurance cover facial plastic surgery procedures?
Cosmetic procedures are typically not covered, but reconstructive surgeries (e.g., skin cancer repair) may be. Our team assists with insurance verification and payment options, offering cash, credit card, and check payments for self-pay treatments.
