Live Beautifully At Any Age - Facial Rejuvenation for the young and the young at heart


Being a full-service plastic and surgery clinic, we get patients in our office of all ages with a variety of concerns. Some are looking for preventative answers to aging while others are hoping to erase the signs of aging that have already become noticeable.  Today there are many options for a fresher appearance, whether surgical or non-surgical.

The key to having a superior experience is finding a plastic surgeon that cares about keeping intact the integrity of your appearance unique to you. At Northwest Arkansas Center for Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve natural-looking results. Our procedures are aimed at providing a healthy, well-rested look for the patient, regardless of the concern.

The first step to treatment is to schedule a consultation, which is complimentary for cosmetic patients. We listen to the patient’s concerns, get a clear picture of their expectations, and then we set realistic goals.  At this point we discuss non-surgical and/or surgical options. We try to start with the most non-invasive procedures, if appropriate, which would include injectable treatments.

Eyes are often the first area that show our age. Thin skin, crow’s feet, and bags under the eyes can make a person look tired. Injectables and fillers are nonsurgical options to these cosmetic challenges. Injectables can help soften the lines made from facial expressions. When strategically placed, these products can even help give a lift to the brow. We can also help camouflage the bags under the eyes using these products. When placed in the cheeks, fillers can help to give the face dimension, thus giving a smoother transition from tear trough area to cheek.  Injectables like these can help us make small subtle adjustments without any down time to the patient. Dramatic improvements can be made with the right injectable in the right area. Our clinic carries a variety of different fillers and injectables, including Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane, and Sculptra. To find out which product is best for a specific concern, we recommend scheduling a consultation. All injectables at NWACPS are done by the physician.

We often have patients that want more correction than what an injectable filler can offer them. At this point we consider surgical alternatives.  Options for surgical correction are numerous and are tailored to what will be best for the patient. Examples of such procedures include eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, or facelift. Generally speaking, these procedures are for those who are 40 years of age and older.

For younger patients who are concerned with a specific facial area, we have surgical options as well. For example, sometimes we will have a younger patient that is unhappy with the shape of her nose. We find that small surgical changes to the structure of the nose can have subtle, yet pleasing, results. Another benefit to surgical procedures is that the results will last, resetting the hands of time.

Injectable treatments and surgical options do not address surface skin concerns. Healthy skin is the goal of every patient, whether he or she is considering surgery or not. If your skin is uneven in texture or color, dry, and unhealthy-looking, you can appear older. We encourage our patients to take advantage of our licensed medical aesthetician, either as a first step, or in addition to other options. She is able to provide the best medical-grade skin rejuvenation available today. We have several noninvasive treatments that require little downtime, and no anesthesia, to target sunspots, age spots, fine lines, enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation. With specialized training in chemical peels, lasers, and permanent cosmetics, she is sure to offer what you need to look your best at any age. We are pleased that we are able to offer such a wide range of services along with the most results-driven skin care lines on the market today.

In addition to facial rejuvenation, we offer options for whatever your cosmetic concern may be. Our top priority is helping patients to live beautifully at any age!
