Creating the “Natural Look” in Facial Rejuvenation
While challenged by the effects of aging, the first priority among today’s patients is to avoid the tell-tale signs of an obvious face-lift, “nose-job,” or eyelid surgery that projects the appearance of a “deer in the headlights.” Whether you seek facelift surgery, a mini-facelift, a non-surgical facelift, cosmetic upper and lower eyelid surgery, or rhinoplasty, Dr Hardesty and Dr. Bennett are highly skilled in creating an improved “Natural Look.” Their outstanding before and after photographs speak for themselves.
What’s New? Beyond the Lifestyle Lift with Local Anesthesia in Minimal Time!
Facial aging has several appearances including lax skin, jowls and a “turkey neck”. However, the actively marketed “Lifestyle Lift” (as advertised by an out of state company) is nothing more than a mini facelift procedure done under local anesthesia.
Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett have gone beyond these limitations to create genuine, attractive improvements. As an outpatient procedure performed with minimal anesthesia, our skilled surgeons provide added benefits such as using hidden incisions, tightening loose neck muscles, liposculpture of the neck and jowls, and resurfacing your skin with the latest laser technology. We call it the “Natural Lift” because these advanced techniques produce a more natural, longer lasting appearance. In addition, during the Liposculpture segment of their procedure, (should you choose), your own fat can be purified and injected to fill deep crevices and balance
Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation – Liquid Facelift
Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett utilize innovative techniques for non-invasive facial rejuvenation. For example, our surgeons have combined Sculptra injections and Thermage, (radio frequency skin tightening), creating a unique advance in the “Liquid Facelift” which requires no downtime. Learn more…
Keyhole Brow-Lifting Technique
A sagging brow can project a tired, older look. Standard treatment often consists of making a long incision from ear to ear. However, the newest technique performed by Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett utilizes an endoscope, (mini TV camera with a probe attached), which is inserted through small “keyhole” type incisions to properly position the eyebrows and diminish frown lines. This unique approach allows for a minimally invasive procedure with less swelling and bruising – providing a younger, more refreshed appearance. Learn more…
Enhanced Eyelids without Visible Scars
Eyelids age by fat beginning to protrude and resultant stretching of the skin, thus projecting a prematurely aged appearance. The standard technique is referred to as blephroplasty. However, once again Drs. Hardesty and Bennett perform a new advancement they named the “Invisible Scar Bleph.” Using special instruments, this technique involves a minimal incision made inside the lower eyelid with the removal of unwanted fat, permitting rapid recovery and an invisible incision. Patients are highly pleased with their results and revitalized appearance. Learn more…
Undetectable Nose Beautification
Improvements made to the nose during a rhinoplasty procedure can include reduction or elimination of bumps and irregularities on the nose’s bridge. The bridge of the nose can be heightened or lowered if necessary with grafts. Even a wide bridge can be narrowed. The tip of the nose can be reduced or enlarged as well as turned up or down. Even changing the size and position of the nostrils can be achieved with the skills of our board certified plastic surgeons.
However, studies indicate a major concern about having rhinoplasty is the post-operative appearance of an obvious “nose job.” Rhinoplasty is a special area of interest for Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett. They pride themselves in performing nasal surgery which creates improvements that are virtually undetectable and appear natural. This is possible due to their artistic sculpting capabilities and ability to hide scars within the nose. Drs. Hardesty and Bennett also realize that rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure where personal concerns and desires must be taken into consideration and are sensitive to the needs of their female and male patients.

Facial Balance and Harmony through Otoplasty
The goal of otoplasty is to improve the appearance of protruding ears while creating balance and harmony with facial features. Drs. Hardesty and Bennett employ advanced techniques with minimal and hidden scars to correct these psychologically troubling prominent ears. There is minimal recovery and in the majority of teenage or adult patients, otoplasty is performed under local anesthesia. This relatively simple procedure can effectively change the entire presentation of the face, elevating one’s self-esteem and confidence. Learn more…
