Extended Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift

Dr. Sturgill's signature procedure — a structural approach that repositions deep facial tissue rather than simply pulling skin tight. The result is a natural, rested appearance with long-lasting improvement.

What to Look For

Here's what separates a deep plane result from a superficial facelift:

Restored midface volume and cheekbone definition — not just a tighter jawline, but a rejuvenated upper and lower face together
Complete resolution of jowling with a smooth, continuous jawline contour from chin to jaw angle
A clean cervicomental angle — the sharp chin-to-neck transition that defines the profile view
Natural facial expression preserved — no "pulled" look, windswept appearance, or frozen smile
Smooth neck contour without visible platysmal bands, submental fullness, or skin irregularities
Well-concealed incisions — hidden within the hairline, behind the ears, and beneath the chin
02

Rhinoplasty

A structural approach that reshapes the nose from the inside out — rebuilding the framework rather than simply removing a bump. The result is a nose that fits the face, breathes well, and holds its shape long-term.

What to Look For

Here's what separates a structural rhinoplasty from a cosmetic-only approach:

A smooth, straight dorsal line in profile — no visible bumps, scooping, or asymmetry along the bridge
Refined, natural tip definition — not pinched, overly rotated, or asymmetric on base view
Proportional balance between the nose, chin, and midface — the nose should complement, not dominate
Natural nostril symmetry and balanced proportions visible on the base view
A result that looks "unoperated" — friends notice you look great, not that you had surgery
Consistent results across all angles — front, oblique, lateral, and base views should all look natural
03

Eyelid & Brow Surgery

A conservative approach that removes what's weighing the eyes down — excess skin, herniated fat, or both — without altering the eye's natural shape. The result is a refreshed, more alert appearance that still looks like you.

What to Look For

Here's what separates a natural eyelid result from an overdone one:

A visible crease and restored lid platform — skin no longer hooding over the lashes or obstructing vision
Preserved natural eye shape and character — the eyes look refreshed, not altered or surprised
Smooth under-eye contour without puffiness, hollowing, or visible bulging
Symmetry between both eyes — consistent lid height, crease position, and brow position
No visible scarring — incisions concealed within the natural eyelid crease
An overall younger, more alert appearance without the "overdone" or hollow look
04

Neck & Jawline Sculpting

Chin augmentation, buccal fat reduction, and targeted contouring — an approach that reveals the bone structure beneath rather than adding artificial volume. The result is a defined jawline that looks inherent, not implanted.

What to Look For

Here's what separates sculpted, natural-looking contouring from an artificial result:

A defined, continuous jawline contour from chin to angle of the mandible
Improved chin projection that balances the profile without looking implanted or unnatural
Slimmer lower face contour from buccal fat reduction — cheekbones appear more sculpted
Natural proportions maintained — the result enhances bone structure rather than creating an artificial look
05

Lip Lift & Perioral Rejuvenation

A precise subnasal incision that shortens the distance between nose and lip — restoring the youthful tooth show and lip proportion that filler alone can't achieve. The result is a rejuvenated lower face with a virtually invisible scar.

What to Look For

Here's what separates a well-executed lip lift from a visible one:

Restored tooth show at rest — a youthful, natural amount of upper teeth visible without smiling
Improved vermilion show — more of the pink lip visible, creating a fuller, rejuvenated appearance
Shortened philtrum length — the distance from nose to lip looks balanced with the rest of the lower face
Well-concealed scar at the base of the nose — virtually invisible once healed
06

Skin Resurfacing

A multimodal approach that treats each zone of the face with the right tool — chemical peel, laser, or dermabrasion — rather than relying on a single modality. The result is comprehensive texture and tone improvement with a single recovery.

What to Look For

Here's what separates comprehensive resurfacing from a surface-level treatment:

Visible improvement in skin texture — fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size noticeably reduced
Even skin tone — reduced hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and discoloration
Smooth perioral region — the lip lines and etched wrinkles that lipstick "bleeds" into are softened
Natural color match — no visible line of demarcation between treated and untreated skin
07

Otoplasty

A reshaping technique that repositions the ear cartilage rather than simply pinning the ears back — correcting prominence, asymmetry, or proportion while maintaining a natural contour and fold.

Before & After

What to Look For

Here's what separates a natural otoplasty from a "pinned" look:

Ears sit closer to the head with a natural degree of projection — not pinned flat
Improved symmetry between both ears while maintaining natural ear contour and folds
Smooth antihelical fold without sharp edges or visible cartilage irregularities
Well-concealed incisions behind the ear — no visible scarring from the front

A note on photos: All images are unretouched and show real patients of Dr. Sturgill photographed under standardized clinical lighting with a 100mm macro lens. Results vary by individual anatomy, skin quality, and healing response. These photos represent typical outcomes — not best-case-only marketing.
