Dr. Nicholas S. Karter, MD

Approach

• That is really the heart of what makes this procedure so rewarding to me, watching someone look like themselves again, just less tired

Specialization

• Combining both procedures let us address her whole upper face in a single recovery rather than two separate ones
• Upper blepharoplasty... is a procedure I perform right in our office
• She will offer our full nonsurgical menu, from injectables to laser treatments and medical-grade skincare

Technique

• I paired that with a minimally invasive lateral brow lift to complete the picture with a full vertical restoration, from brow to neck
• We straightened her septum, reduced her dorsal hump, made a subtle refinement to her tip and worked to improve the symmetry of her nostrils

Training & credentials

• The practice's team trained hands-on with the Ultra Laser by Cynosure Lutronic.

Consultation

• The practice discusses recovery timelines in detail with each patient, tailoring the information to their specific procedure and anatomy.
• The practice's consultation process involves an initial phone conversation with Erin, followed by an in-person consultation.

Recovery guidance

• For most of my surgeries, rhinoplasty, brow lifts, isolated neck work, most of those are going to be two weeks back to socially presentable
• But in general, my smaller procedures like an upper blepharoplasty or an upper eyelid surgery, most patients tend to look pretty good by the one week mark in certainly back to normal by the two week mark
• And then for my bigger procedures like the extended deep plane facelift, the deep neck lifting, most of those patients it's going to be two to three weeks before you're kind of socially presentable
