A refreshed, natural result that addresses both volume loss and skin texture from the inside out.

This patient in her early 60s came to Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery in Austin, Texas seeking a more youthful appearance without compromising her natural beauty. Nurse injector Sarah Morse took a comprehensive, multi-modal approach to rejuvenate the lower face and restore a radiant glow to the skin.

Using the Revance® line of fillers, RHA 3® was applied to provide structural support to the nasolabial folds and pre-jowl sulcus, while RHA 2® softened the marionette lines. SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® micro-droplets were fanned across the full cheek area, acting as an internal skin hydrator to improve the appearance of fine lines and overall skin quality. To complete the treatment, BOTOX® was used to relax the platysmal bands, reducing the appearance of vertical neck cords, sharpening the jawline, and reducing downward facial pull.

The results are stunningly natural and subtle. Her jawline appears more defined, lower face shadowing has been lifted, and her skin has a lit-from-within radiance that looks effortless.

If you are considering dermal fillers, SKINVIVE™, RHA® fillers, BOTOX® for neck bands, or non-surgical facial rejuvenation in Austin, TX, our team would love to help you find the right approach for your goals.

A natural, lifted result that speaks for itself.

In this video, Dr. Erin Smith at Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery in Austin, Texas shares the transformation of a patient in her lower 50s who sought lower face and neck rejuvenation. Though she looked beautiful from the front, she was bothered by descending cheek volume, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and visible platysmal bands in the neck.

Dr. Smith performed a deep plane lower facelift with platysmaplasty, an approach that repositions the deeper fat pads to a higher, more youthful location while tightening and suturing the platysmal bands to restore a smooth, defined neck.

The results are striking from every angle. On the frontal view, her cheeks appear fuller and more lifted with no visible neck banding. The three-quarter view reveals a jawline that flows cleanly from chin to the angle of the mandible, free of the heaviness and fullness that previously weighed it down. On profile, tissue that once obscured her chin has been moved vertically upward, revealing a refined jawline and elegant neckline. Incisions on both sides are completely imperceptible.

If you are considering deep plane facelift surgery, neck lift surgery, or lower face rejuvenation in Austin, TX, a deep plane approach may offer the natural, long-lasting results you are looking for.

A lip lift is not just about fuller lips. It is also about restoring the proportions you had when you were younger.

In this video, Dr. Edward Buckingham, a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon, breaks down the subnasal lip lift: what it actually does, who it is right for, and why candidacy matters more than most people realize.

If you have noticed your upper lip looking longer or flatter over time, a surgical lip lift may be worth exploring. Unlike temporary solutions such as lip filler, a subnasal lip lift is a relatively quick procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia, and for the right patient, the results can be significant and long-lasting.

A lip lift works by shortening the philtrum, the space between the nose and the upper lip, to roll out the red lip and restore a more youthful lip shape and proportion. It can also improve upper tooth show and enhance overall facial harmony without the need for repeated filler treatments.

If you are researching lip lift surgery or lip enhancement options in Austin, TX, schedule a consultation with Dr. Buckingham at Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery to find out if a lip lift is the right fit for your anatomy and goals.

Sometimes the most meaningful results come from addressing subtle but significant changes, the kind that make you look tired even when you feel your best.

This patient in her early 40s came to Dr. Erin Smith at Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery in Austin, Texas feeling that her upper eyelids appeared heavy and her lower eyelids had developed hollowing and fine lines that left her looking fatigued.

To restore a more rested appearance, Dr. Smith performed upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat transfer, fat repositioning, and fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing to the tear trough area, addressing both skin texture and volume loss around the eyes.

Her upper eyelids now have a natural, more open appearance. Her lower eyelids are smoother, with tear trough hollowing beautifully filled and fine lines significantly reduced. Bright, youthful, and completely natural.

Subtle lip enhancement is often the smarter approach because the face is seen as a whole, not as individual features. The lips only stand out when they either disrupt or support overall balance.

Small refinements, like restoring a bit of volume or defining the lip border, can improve the transition between the lower face and midface, creating a more refreshed, harmonious look. Too much fullness can throw off that balance and appear less natural.

Aging around the mouth is gradual. Volume loss, flattening of the lips, and fine lines develop over time, often before they feel obvious. A conservative approach restores support early while keeping results soft and proportional. Starting slowly also allows for better control, minimizing risk and leaving room for refinement if needed.

At Buckingham Center, our team specializes in natural-looking results that align with your facial structure and long-term aesthetic goals.

Her chapter focuses on the saddle nose deformity, one of the more complex challenges in rhinoplasty, covering its etiology, classification, and surgical treatment. This condition can result from trauma, prior surgery, systemic disease, or congenital causes, and Dr. Smith's contribution helps advance the way future surgeons approach and treat it.

In this video, Dr. Smith speaks to her chapter and what this milestone means to her.

This patient in her mid-50s came to Dr. Hudson Frey with concerns about hooding and heaviness of the upper eyelids, which were creating a tired appearance.

During consultation, excess upper eyelid skin was noted, contributing to a droopy look and limiting the visible eyelid platform. After discussing treatment options, she chose to proceed with an in-office Upper Blepharoplasty performed under light sedation.

In her 3-month after photos, you can see a more open, refreshed eye appearance with improved visibility of the upper eyelid platform. The lateral view highlights a clear reduction in hooding, creating a smoother, more youthful contour.

Her results demonstrate how impactful upper eyelid surgery can be in brightening the eyes and restoring a well-rested look while maintaining a natural appearance.

If heaviness in the upper eyelids has been bothering you, schedule a consultation with our expert facial plastic surgery team at the link below.

Restoring structure and hydration can completely elevate the look of the lips while keeping movement natural.

This patient in her early 40s presented with volume loss through the body of the lip and a softening of the vermilion border, leading to decreased definition and a less youthful appearance. Her goal was a subtle, refreshed look with improved fullness and hydration.

To achieve this, Aesthetic Nurse Injector René Thomas used a strategic, multi-step injectable approach. Restylane Eyelight® was placed along the lip border to reinforce the Cupid’s bow and restore crisp definition. Once the structure was established, Revance RHA® 2 was carefully injected into the body of the lip to add soft, flexible volume.

RHA® technology is designed to move naturally with the lips, making it ideal for this high-mobility area while delivering smooth, hydrated fullness.

Her results show enhanced definition, improved hydration, and a natural, balanced shape that feels like her, just refreshed.

This patient felt his nose appeared slightly larger than he preferred, with a tip that drooped and distracted from his overall profile. His goal was refinement while maintaining a strong, masculine appearance.

After a consultation with Dr. Hudson Frey, he underwent a cosmetic rhinoplasty focused on subtle, strategic adjustments. The nasal bones were gently narrowed to improve width, a small dorsal hump was reduced, and the nasal tip was slightly elevated to create better balance without over-rotating.

From the side view, these changes create a smoother, straighter profile with improved proportion. The tip position now feels more supported and refined, while still preserving the natural character of his features.

Rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure where even subtle refinements can significantly enhance overall facial harmony. When performed by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with advanced expertise in nasal anatomy and aesthetics, it ensures results that are both natural-looking and structurally precise.
