BOTOX® Cosmetic
One of the most popular treatments at our practice, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can reduce the appearance of brow lines that have become etched over time from frowning, squinting, and other facial expressions. The line-erasing ingredient in BOTOX® Cosmetic is a highly refined protein derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected into a facial line, this protein blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, relaxing the muscle and smoothing frown lines and crow's feet. The rejuvenating effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic relieve patients of brow furrows so that they no longer look perpetually tired, sad, or angry.
BOTOX® Cosmetic gives immediate results that can last as long as four months. The convenient, simple facial treatment takes only 10 minutes to complete, and can easily be accomplished within a lunch hour without any post-procedural downtime.
If you have ever wished for a quick and easy way to smooth the lines that crease your forehead or the corners of your eyes, we encourage you to schedule a BOTOX® Cosmetic appointment at our practice near Tyler and Lufkin, Texas. Dr. Gregory Wittpenn and the New Horizons Plastic Surgery staff look forward to helping you enjoy the benefits of this safe, effective, virtually-painless procedure.

Restylane®
Restylane® is one of the simplest, safest, and most effective methods of smoothing facial lines and wrinkles. Aging and environmental exposure can cause underlying skin tissue to break down. Without this supporting tissue, lines and wrinkles form, contributing to the appearance of aging. Restylane® injections replace the diminished tissue, providing support, moisture, and lubrication so that wrinkles are filled out and skin is restored to its youthful smoothness.
Restylane® injections offer a distinct advantage over other dermal-filling products. Unlike other dermal fillers, Restylane® is made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance produced by all living beings. Because of this, no allergy test is required prior to a Restylane® treatment. An additional attraction of Restylane® is its convenience. A treatment usually takes no more than 30 minutes, and there is no post-treatment downtime. You'll see immediate results and be able to return to your daily activities right away. The benefits of Restylane® last approximately eight to 12 months, about twice as long as the effects of other injectable dermal fillers.
If you desire smooth, vibrant, younger-looking skin, we invite you to contact Dr. Wittpenn and New Horizons Plastic Surgery and schedule a Restylane® consultation at our practice in Nacogdoches, near Tyler, Texas.
Rhinoplasty
As the most prominent features of the face, the nose has significant influence on overall facial appearance. Whether caused by genetics or injury, a large or disproportionately shaped nose can skew the perception of other facial features. Using his exceptional skills in rhinoplasty, Dr. Wittpenn can sculpt your nose to create a more natural profile that accentuates and enhances your face. By shaping the nose so that it's centered and symmetrical, Dr. Wittpenn can achieve balanced, beautiful results.
Most rhinoplasty procedures are performed under general anesthesia in just one or two hours on an outpatient basis. During the surgery, Dr. Wittpenn separates the skin from the nose's bone and cartilage framework. After sculpting this framework into the desired shape and size, the skin is replaced over the newly formed nose.
Following a one week recovery period, most patients are able to return to their jobs and normal activities. Patients should exercise caution for the first couple of months after the rhinoplasty procedure and avoid participating in sports or other activities that can easily cause nasal injuries.
Many of our patients report that the boost in confidence and self-esteem is the greatest reward they receive from their rhinoplasty procedure. To learn how this confidence-enhancing surgery can benefit you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Wittpenn to discuss rhinoplasty at our practice near Tyler and Lufkin, Texas.
Face Lift
Age, stress, sun exposure, and a host of other factors can cause the skin to sag, leading to the development of lines and wrinkles. Fresh, youthful complexions gradually slip away, leaving facial features that can look prematurely old and tired. A face lift can rejuvenate the face by "turning back the clock" and enhance your confidence in business and social situations.
Dr. Wittpenn usually performs face lift as an outpatient procedure, requiring only general anesthesia. To erase lines and wrinkles and define facial contours, the doctor tightens the underlying muscles and removes any excess tissue, including fat. Any scarring is minimal and hidden discretely in the hairline or the folds of the ear. To learn more about how a face lift can restore that youthful glow, contact us to schedule a private face lift consultation with Dr. Wittpenn.
Forehead Lift
Often performed in conjunction with a face lift, a forehead lift is an excellent way to reduce deep brow lines and furrows. Years of exposure to sun and stress, coupled with the natural effects of aging, wear away the freshness and elasticity of the skin. During a forehead lift procedure, Dr. Wittpenn tightens the skin and underlying tissue to remove lines and give your face a more pleasing, alert and youthful appearance. Whether performed alone, or in combination with another facial plastic surgery procedure, forehead lift is a relatively simple way to erase years from your face.
Eyelid Lift
Baggy, droopy eyelids can give the impression of constant fatigue and stress. An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is one possible treatment to improve the appearance of your eyes. By skillfully removing fat and tightening the skin around the eyes, Dr. Wittpenn can give your face a smoother, fresher, and more alert appearance. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia, and typically takes one to three hours. Eyelid lifts are often performed in conjunction with another facial plastic surgery procedure, such as dermaplaning or Restylane® treatments. Contact our Tyler, Texas area practice to learn more about the benefits of blepharoplasty.
Facial Implants
Known for their versatility, facial implants can strengthen and restore the contours of the face. They can augment bone structure to make the face more proportionate, rejuvenate facial structure when age takes its toll, and be used for reconstructive treatment after facial trauma. Dr. Wittpenn often uses facial implants to complement another procedure, such as rhinoplasty, facial liposuction, or a face lift, to help rejuvenate the face and bring features into proper balance.
Dr. Wittpenn inserts facial implants through a small incision near the targeted area. Once the implants are in place, the incision is sutured and the surgery is complete. Performed under general anesthesia, this outpatient procedure takes only one to two hours. Want to know more about how facial implants can improve the contours and balance of your face? Schedule a facial surgery consultation with Dr. Wittpenn.
Lip Augmentation
Are you unhappy with your thin, flat lips or the myriad lines and creases around your mouth? Or perhaps your lips are not proportionate to your face—too full or lopsided? Lip augmentation by Dr. Wittpenn might be the solution you're looking for. Lip augmentation is a short, outpatient procedure in which the lips are enhanced with implants or injections of synthetic materials or fats. Aside from minor swelling and soreness, post-treatment recovery is generally brief, and most patients return to normal within a few days. To learn more about lip augmentation, or other procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane®, or rhinoplasty, contact our practice near Tyler and Lufkin, Texas.
Dermaplaning
By exfoliating the skin's top layers, dermaplaning provides a quick and effective method of treating acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines, and sun damage. A specialized surgical blade is used to remove the dead upper layers of skin, leaving behind a more even complexion. Because dermaplaning does not require any recovery time, patients can apply make-up and return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Ear Pinning
Also known as otoplasty, ear pinning is a method of surgically reducing or restructuring the shape and size of a person's ears. In this procedure, cartilage in the back of the ear is exposed, sculpted, and realigned with the head for a more balanced, streamlined look. Although otoplasty is most often performed on young children to prevent years of teasing or ridicule from their peers, ear pinning is also a viable option for adults. If your ears are unbalanced or obtrusive, otoplasty by Dr. Wittpenn can give them a more natural, subtle appearance.
Chemical Peel
A chemical peel can rejuvenate the face by safely removing the skin's dead outer layers to reveal the fresh and radiant underlying skin. A skin peel can smooth fine wrinkles and lines and reduce the prominence of uneven skin pigmentation and acne scars. In fact, a chemical peel can sometimes even be used to effectively control acne.
New Horizons Plastic Surgery is proud to offer chemical skin peels performed by our scrub tech, Letitia "Tish" Hairgrove. During the procedure, Tish applies a chemical solution to the skin that safely exfoliates dead cells without affecting the healthy skin underneath. No anesthetic is necessary, and the patient feels only a slight tingling sensation. Depending on the solution used to perform the peel, recovery time can take just a few hours or as long as two weeks. Tish, in conjunction with Dr. Wittpenn, will advise you on the chemical peel most suited to your skin type and fully inform you of what to expect after the procedure.
