- Medical Weight LossIt is not appropriate to perform neck or chin liposuction if the excess fat in the neck and jowls is due to weight gain. However, following weight reduction and long-term maintenance of an appropriate weight, this procedure is indicated for areas of localized fat deposits.
- Primary CarePrior to surgery, you must disclose whether you are taking any aspirin products, herbal preparations, or "blood thinners," because these can contribute to swelling and bruising. You will be instructed to stop these medications two weeks before surgery, or when it is appropriate after discussion with your primary care doctor.

- Wound CareThe harvest procedure for a rib graft typically takes one hour. An approximately one inch-long incision is placed on the chest for access and extraction. After the harvest, the incision is closed with buried sutures and covered with tape, so minimal wound care may be required on the patient's part. The resultant scarring is small, and usually heals well. In female patients, the rib graft incision can be hidden inside the fold under the breast.
- Ear SurgeryChildren who have protruding ears are often ridiculed by their peers and, as adults, go to great lengths with hair styling to conceal them. Dr. Timothy M. Greco, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Philadelphia, can perform otoplasty (ear surgery) for children and adults to correct protruding ears. Otoplasty can usually be performed as early as age 5 or 6, when ears have fully matured.

- Eyelid SurgeryThe eyes are the "windows to the soul," and among the first facial characteristics you notice when you meet someone. Most communication is nonverbal, and a person's eyes provide cues to their emotions.

- Face LiftWhile it is effective as a standalone treatment, microneedling can also be paired with other techniques. One way to optimize anti-aging results from microneedling is by combining it with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This type of therapy, which is also known as a "vampire facial" or "vampire facelift", harnesses the healing and regenerative properties of platelets and growth factors naturally contained in the blood. A small amount of the patient's own blood is withdrawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets. After microneedling, the plasma is smeared onto the facial skin. The microscopic injuries created by the tiny needles help the platelet-rich plasma penetrate and be absorbed into the deep layers of skin.
- Neck LiftSkin laxity often impacts the neck and eyelid area before any other region on the face. The neck may have an aged appearance, while the cheeks, mouth, and forehead still maintain a youthful look. Women and men—in their 30s, 40s, and 50s—who want to address this very specific region can choose a neck lift from the Philadelphia-area double board-certified facial surgeon Dr. Timothy M. Greco.

By employing any of a number of specialized techniques, Dr. Greco can change the color, width, length, orientation, and elevation, thereby dramatically improving the appearance of a scar.
- Lip AugmentationBoth minimally invasive lip filler therapies and cosmetic surgical lip augmentation continue to surge in popularity. As the lip ages, the pink portion begins to recede and the lip becomes thinner. Lip augmentation or enhancement can create fuller, plumper lips that are associated with a more youthful appearance. For patients interested in lip augmentation from the Philadelphia area and across the country, there are various techniques and filler materials that are used in the augmentation process, depending on the condition of the patient's existing lip profile, the type and extent of change desired, etc.

- DermabrasionDermabrasion skin treatments in Philadelphia at Timothy M. Greco, MD, PC can treat scars caused by acne or traumatic lacerations of the face. Because scars are slightly raised, they cast shadows and create contrast that is detected by the human eye. Dermabrasion uses a rotating instrument to decrease the raised areas and soften contour irregularities.
- Facial ImplantsA patient who wants new contours for the lips, cheeks, or chin may consider facial implants, which add volume with silicone implants or fat transfer.
- Chin AugmentationChin augmentation or genioplasty is performed with a chin implant, which is inserted through a small incision in the natural skin crease under the chin or on the inside of the mouth. These implants are uniquely constructed and customized to each patient's face, as they can be made in different sizes and shapes that provide vertical, horizontal, or square width that can extend back along the jawline. The subdermal (i.e. placed under the skin) chin implant is made from a medical-grade material (silicone is the chin implant choice for most of Dr. Greco’s patients), which is eventually incorporated into the body's own tissues as the healing process occurs. The patient's tissues will heal over the implant to create a newly augmented surface that is more proportionate with the rest of the face.
- Forehead LiftAs people age and gravity takes its toll, eyebrows begin to droop and wrinkles appear on the forehead, often creating a tired or angry look. Frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows, which deepen with age, can accentuate this undesirable appearance. Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Timothy M. Greco offers forehead or browlift surgery for his Philadelphia-area patients to create a fresh, rested appearance.

- LesionsLaser technology has advanced the art of medicine, particularly in the last decade. Lasers now play a crucial role facial rejuvenation. They can be used to safely remove wrinkles on the face including those around the mouth (perioral) and eyes (periorbital), with less chance of scarring. Laser skin rejuvenation can be performed in our Philadelphia office. The reduction in wrinkles and improved skin tone is dramatic and can be noticed soon after the procedure. An added benefit is that laser skin resurfacing can also treat precancerous skin lesions while significantly rejuvenating the skin.
- Chemical PeelsA chemical peel removes the top layers of the skin, which are then replaced by a new layer of skin. Peels can improve the color, tone, texture, and brightness of your skin, adding a youthful glow and reducing wrinkles, acne breakouts, and enlarged pores. Deeper peels usually achieve more lasting improvement of wrinkles and may also improve elasticity of the skin by building new collagen. The correct chemical peel can be chosen based on each individual's skin type and concerns.
