How chemical peels work
Chemical peels are a cosmetic treatment used to exfoliate your outermost skin layers in a controlled manner. The different strengths indicate how deep […]
Both blepharoplasty and a brow lift address the upper third of your face, but how do you know which procedure is right for you?
Dr. Dustin Heringer of Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery offers both blepharoplasty and brow lifts to his patients in Scottsdale and Peoria, Arizona, to help reverse some of the more visible signs of aging. Which is right for you depends on where you feel your problem areas lie and your aesthetic goals. Here’s how to decide.
The effects of aging on your face
When you were young, your body produced a lot of two proteins: collagen and elastin. […]
Many patients desire smoother, younger-looking skin but are not ready to undergo a surgical procedure such as a facelift. Microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing are non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments that can help you achieve a more youthful glow. While these procedures address similar concerns, they differ in candidacy, treatment timeline, and recovery. At our Scottsdale, AZ, practice, Dr. Dustin Heringer can perform laser skin resurfacing and microdermabrasion with the utmost precision. After reviewing your aesthetic goals, he will recommend the appropriate treatment.
What Are the Similarities?
Microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing exfoliate the top layers of skin and encourage collagen production. Both treatments:
Are non-surgical
Do not require incisions
Can be performed on an outpatient basis
Can reduce the appearance of facial lines, […]
Our skin ages with us as we age, producing fine lines, wrinkles, creases, and sags, especially around the neck and jowls. At this early stage, we have minimally invasive treatments like dermal fillers, Botox®, laser resurfacing, and microdermabrasion to turn back the clock on your appearance.
For a face-lift, a surgical procedure, the doctor removes the sags and bags and tightens the underlying muscles. It’s a process that dates back to the early 1900s. While the technique and technology have changed into today’s less-invasive approach, the procedure has always been targeted at tightening the lower half to two-thirds of the face.

When we’re kids, we can’t wait until we’re older and can do adult things. When we’re all grown up, though, we spend a fortune trying to look younger than our calendar age. But is a major surgical procedure, such as a face-lift or rhinoplasty, the best way to achieve your goals?
According to oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Dustin Heringer at Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery, you can get smoother, younger-looking skin without surgery. The practice offers numerous treatments that may not last as long as a face-lift, but they don’t require scalpels, anesthesia, or much, if any, downtime. Here’s what’s […]
As you age, your plentiful supplies of collagen and elastin, two structural proteins that shore up your skin and give it resilience, begin to decline. Without the tough, dense fibers to keep the skin taut, you start to develop fine lines and wrinkles.
As the levels decrease even more, the skin around your jaw and neck starts to sag because of gravity. As if that weren’t enough, your body starts storing fat in unflattering places like under your chin or around your hips. Looking in the mirror, you may feel discouraged about your new appearance.
In the early stages of wrinkle development, […]
If you’re past the fine lines and wrinkles and are experiencing the deeper creases and folds of aging skin, you’re probably wondering what you can do to turn back the clock.
It’s fair to say that you’ve probably tried a variety of the noninvasive, anti-aging therapies available. While they worked for a while, they probably stopped being effective some time ago, and the effects were only temporary anyway. That just makes you more determined to find a way.
Well, there is a way to reverse the loss of facial volume, tone the sagging jowls, and lift the drooping neck or chin — […]
Bright, wide eyes radiate your inner joy and make you look younger than your years. But as you age, your upper eyelids droop and sag, making you look tired or angry and interfering with your vision.
You’re in luck, though. At Arizona Ocular and Facial Plastic Surgery, oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Dustin Heringer and the rest of our team have the knowledge and skills to correct the problem. The procedure is called blepharoplasty, and whether you want to have your eyelids raised for cosmetic or medical reasons, it can give you a fresher, brighter look at the world.

Facial implant surgery is a cosmetic procedure that changes a person’s facial contours or brings better balance to their features. The surgery can also add shape to a face marred by trauma or a major disease (such as cancer). The implants can be made from human tissue or synthetic materials like silicone or polythene.
Oculofacial plastic and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Dustin Heringer at Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery offers facial implant surgery to his patients at the Scottsdale, Arizona, office. His technical prowess and artistic eye combine to give you the facial contours you’ve been looking for. Who can benefit […]
Plastic surgery used to be a “hush-hush” kind of affair, something you had done but didn’t want anyone to know. But times have changed, and now people from all walks of life opt for cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures to fix, augment, or diminish physical characteristics that make them uncomfortable and/or unhappy.
Unfortunately, as more information about conditions and procedures is uploaded to Dr. Google, many myths surrounding those conditions and procedures have popped up or been perpetuated, leaving you wondering what information is reliable.
