Services
What We Offer
Eyes
Surgery of the lower eyelids is usually determined to be cosmetic only; however, a physical examination is necessary to make a determination.
Whether eyelid surgery is cosmetic or corrective, the procedure is done in the same manner. The surgery is performed in office under local anesthetic or at an outpatient surgery center under a general anesthetic. Patients go home the same day and are seen at one and two week intervals for follow up. Patients are followed for 6 months to a year afterward
Ears and Earlobe Repair
Ears
Otoplasty, or ear surgery is performed for prominent ears or for congenital ear deformities. The goal is to produce more symmetric, natural appearing ears. This surgery is performed on children under a general anesthetic in a hospital or surgery center. The surgery can be performed in the office on adults. Recovery from surgery is typically two to four days.
Earlobe Repair
Earlobe repair can be performed in our office under a local anesthetic. For most torn earlobes pricing is $450 for one ear and $800 for two. For ear gauge repair pricing is $600 and up depending on the extent of the reconstructive procedure.
Lips
Surgical reshaping of the lips can be performed in our office surgical suite. Pricing for surgical reshaping starts at $2500.
Nose
Often people will experience a problem breathing, snoring or may have an internal nasal defect which will cause an obstructed airway. These types of problems will generally require corrective surgery which is covered by insurance. Traumatic injuries to the nose leaving a visible deformity may also be covered by health insurance.
Cosmetic deformities of the nose are not covered by health insurance. If you are interested in this type of cosmetic correction, we can provide you with a quote for cosmetic repair.
Rhinoplasty can be performed on an outpatient basis either at the hospital or outpatient surgery center. Rhinoplasty can be performed in conjunction with other surgical procedures.
Face Lifts
Facelifts are highly individualized procedures and may be performed as an outpatient hospital service, or at the surgery center.
Facial Botulinum Toxin Therapy (Botox® and Xeomin®)
Botox® cosmetic injections are performed in our office by Dr. Kiesnowski and Tammy Marshall, APNP, FNP-BC. When you come to our office for a cosmetic procedure, you are paying for the expertise and experience of board certified providers and that is exactly what you will get.
Botox® Cosmetic and Xeomin® are used to relax the muscles of the forehead between the eyes or crows feet to provide you the patient with a more youthful and refreshed appearance. During an initial consultation, your overall goals for botulinum toxin therapy will be discussed, and if time warrants, injections can be performed the same day or at some point in the future.
Cost for the procedure will vary with the amount of botulinum toxin needed for completion of therapy but rarely exceeds $300 per treatment. Botox® Cosmetic is $13.50 per unit and Xeomin® is $8.50 per unit. If you are new to our practice inquire about new patient incentives.
KYBELLA®
If you’re bothered by the fullness* beneath your chin, you’re not alone. Fortunately, KYBELLA® can help.
*KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin (submental fullness) by physically destroying fat cells.
The in-office injection process may take as little as 15 to 20 minutes and will be tailored to your submental fat distribution and treatment goals. So, what are you waiting for? Schedule your consultation today and get ready to Reveal your results.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are performed in the office surgical suite by Dr. Kiesnowski. Several different types of chemical peel are offered by our office. Superficial peels will improve skin condition and improve smoothness of the skin. Mild redness may last for several days. Medium depth peels will also affect the structure of the skin decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Medium depth peels also have a significant effect on abnormal facial pigmentation. Redness and peeling can last for five to ten days. Deep chemical peels produce dramatic changes but require a general anesthetic.
Skincare Products (Neocutis®, GlyDerm® and EltaMD)
In addition to our SPA SERVICES including Facials, Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion, we offer three main product lines of skincare products: Neocutis®, GlyDerm® and EltaMD.
Neocutis®
The Neocutis® line of skin care products contains growth factors and proprietary peptides to support your body’s natural ability to repair cells and keep healthy, youthful skin. Growth factors support the building of collagen and hyaluronic acid production. Neocutis® was founded on the basis of extended wound healing research in Lausanne, Switzerland. By applying those principles to improve the appearance of aging skin, Neocutis® (literally neo=new cutis=skin) can help improve the texture and appearance of skin in as little as 6 days. We carry a full line of Neocutis® products. Please see the Neocutis® website for more information on their products and research supported results. https://www.neocutis.com/.
GlyDerm®
Maintain the GlyDerm® Glow. The best way for patients to maintain healthy skin that looks brighter, younger and healthier is to partner with their Physician. GlyDerm® skincare products are designed to be Physician-dispensed because GlyDerm® understands the importance of supporting and promoting the Physician-patient relationship and ensuring skilled product selection.
For over 20 years, physicians have been using GlyDerm® products to help their patients achieve a smoother skin texture that looks younger, healthier and more vibrant. GlyDerm® offers gentle and effective products for every skin type and skin color and all GlyDerm® Skincare products are noncomedogenic so they won’t clog pores, have no added fragrances and are free known allergens.
EltaMD
Broad-Spectrum Sun Care. EltaMD sunscreens help prevent sunburn and decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun, when used with other sun protection measures. EltaMD sunscreens are formulated with transparent zinc oxide, a natural, mineral compound and are noncomedogenic, sensitivity-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free. Zinc is safe for even the most sensitive skin types. All EltaMD sunscreens are recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as effective broad-spectrum sunscreens.
When wearing EltaMD sunscreens, the UVA and UVB rays reflect and scatter away from your skin, providing you protection from sunburn and decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.
Frequently Asked Questions
General FAQs
Can my surgery be performed in the office under a local anesthetic? I am nervous about being put to sleep.
In some cases, yes. Much of this decision-making process is between the patient and the physician and Dr. Kiesnowski can give you an opinion on whether or not your are good candidate for an in office procedure vs. a procedure performed in the operating room.
What about some of the “miraculous” wrinkle removal and anti-aging processes I read and hear about?
The skin care industry is growing and changing rapidly. But rather than latest and greatest solutions, we prefer conservative management that has a proven track record of success.
My son has inherited “fly-away” ears. If they are corrected too early will they have to be redone as he grows?
Surgery is generally performed when the patient is between 5 and 8 years of age – before the child is too far into school and subjected to pressures from other children. At this age ear growth has reached near maximum and typically no further procedures are necessary.
KYBELLA® FAQs
What is KYBELLA®?
KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”
It is not known if KYBELLA® is safe and effective for use outside of the submental area and in children less than 18 years of age.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take a medicine that prevents the clotting of your blood (antiplatelet or anticoagulant medicine).
What are the possible side effects of KYBELLA®?
KYBELLA® can cause serious side effects, including nerve injury in the jaw (which can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness) and trouble swallowing.
The most common side effects of KYBELLA® include: swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area.
These are not all of the possible side effects of KYBELLA®. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects.
