As you age, your skin — especially that on your face — picks up any number of blemishes, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots and other hyperpigmented areas, and acne scars. While all of these are natural, you may not be happy showing them to the world. Fortunately, you have options for getting rid of them.
At Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dustin Heringer and his team know that even if you’re undergoing one or more plastic surgeries, if you don’t also pay attention to your skin, you won’t be able to achieve the look you want. That’s […]
If you’ve tried any of the noninvasive, anti-aging therapies available, it’s probably fair to say you weren’t overwhelmed with the results, which are usually quite temporary. That just makes you more determined to find a way to reverse the loss of facial volume, tone the sagging jowls, and lift the drooping neck or chin.
There is a way — it’s called a surgical facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy.
For many people, the idea of getting a facelift is scary, no doubt in part because of the inevitable pictures of Hollywood celebrities whose facelift gave them the look of a plastic doll. […]
Rhinoplasty, more generally known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that addresses cosmetic concerns such as size and shape, as well as structural concerns that leave you unable to breathe properly.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that surgeons performed over 220,000 rhinoplasties in 2017 alone, making it the most common facial plastic surgery procedure.
At Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery, with offices in Scottsdale and Peoria, Arizona, our board-certified oculofacial plastic and cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Dustin Heringer, routinely performs both open and closed rhinoplasties for our patients who want to change their looks or improve their breathing.

As we age, our skin loses its youthful elasticity, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles, creases, and sagging skin, especially around the neck and jowls. From dermal fillers and Botox® to minimally invasive procedures like laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion, there are a variety of ways to turn back time on your appearance.
Facelifts, where the surgeon removes excess skin and tightens the underlying muscles, date back to the early 1900s. While the procedure has changed, it’s always been aimed at improving the lower half to two-thirds of the face.
The “mini” facelift, a modified version of the traditional procedure, is a product […]
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a surgical procedure in which a doctor transfers fat from one area of the body to another through liposuction and then injection. The surgical goal is to improve or otherwise augment the area where the fat is injected.
At Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale and Peoria, oculofacial plastic and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Dustin Heringer and our staff often incorporate fat transfer as part of facelift surgery and as a more natural option to replace dermal fillers. Here’s what we want you to know about all the facial aesthetic concerns that […]
Eyelid malposition takes a number of forms, but all make the lids appear droopy, tired, and aged. Malposition isn’t always a cosmetic issue, though. In the case of ptosis, the upper eyelid physically droops over the eye and obstructs vision. In that case, you’ll require medical intervention to save the health of your eye.
At Arizona Ocular and Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dustin Heringer treats eyelid malposition. He offers a number of effective surgeries, as well as a number of nonsurgical options. Here’s what he wants you to know about this condition.

As you age, gravity’s tug can pull down your eyelids, eyebrows, and forehead,making them sag and display a tired or scowling expression that doesn’t accurately communicate who you are or what you’re feeling. Fortunately, a brow lift allows you to counter gravity’s pull, helping you look younger and feel refreshed.
Dr. Dustin Heringer of Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery, with offices in Scottsdale and Peoria, Arizona, understands how hard it can be to look in the mirror and see a drooping face that doesn’t reflect who you are. He uses brow lift surgery to reverse some of the more visible […]
For many people, the first thing they notice about someone is their eyes. So what does it say if yours are hooded, droopy, or sagging? No matter what your mood or what you’re thinking, you broadcast a message of perpetual fatigue, standoffishness, or anger, and those are probably not the looks you’re going for.
Fortunately, there’s a procedure that can correct the problem and let you see others — and others see you — in a new light. It’s called blepharoplasty.

Lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity are all a normal part of aging. Collagen, a protein that gives your skin strength and resiliency, starts declining around age 25, and production continues to diminish with each advancing year. But you may not be ready to give up your youthful glow when the droop begins.
There are any number of cosmetic treatments that can postpone the inevitable for a little while. These include BOTOXⓇ Cosmetic, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, and microdermabrasion, to name a few. While very effective, these are solutions that may need to be redone from time to time.
Our oculofacial plastic and […]
