Recent advances in surgical technique have transformed the art of facial plastic surgery. It is now possible to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns with fewer side effects and better results than ever before. Whether you are seeking subtle or dramatic facial enhancement, we can help you realize your goals. We offer several popular facial plastic surgery procedures at our practice in Fairfield County, Connecticut, including facelift, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty. If you believe you can benefit from facial plastic surgery, we invite you to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. David Passaretti to find out which procedure is right for you.

Face lift is a procedure designed to reduce or eliminate several of the more visible signs of aging, including deep creases and sagging facial skin. During face lift surgery, skin along the face and neck is lifted and the underlying muscles are tightened to produce a youthful-looking facial contour. Wrinkles are smoothed out and the skin is redraped, eliminating jowls and unattractive folds of skin near the neck.
In the past, face lift surgery tended to produce a tightened, stretched look that was anything but natural. At our practice in Fairfield County, the old face lift techniques were abandoned years ago. We utilize the most up-to-date methods to give our patients dramatic, yet natural-looking results. Dr. David Passaretti, our Connecticut plastic surgeon, tailors each face lift surgery to bring out the patient’s best features. For complete facial rejuvenation, we can also combine a face lift with eyelid surgery to give patients a more alert, refreshed appearance.
For our Connecticut patients who may not be ready for a full face lift, we offer several non-surgical alternatives, including BOTOX® therapy.
Eyelid surgery is used to correct cosmetic eye problems as well as inherited traits that impair vision and contribute to a “droopy” or “tired” appearance. At our Connecticut practice, we approach eyelid surgery in several ways. We commonly perform eyelid surgery on the upper eyelids to remove overhanging skin that descends over the lids, and we also offer eyelid surgery on the lower lids to remove the excess skin and pockets of fat that cause unattractive “bags” under the eyes. By tightening the skin and muscle and removing small pockets of fat, we can make your eyes appear younger and give you a more attentive, alert look.
Eyelid surgery can produce amazing results, especially when combined with a face lift or wrinkle treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic and JUVÉDERM®. Some of our Connecticut patients may benefit from upper or lower eyelid surgery alone, or simultaneous correction of the upper and lower lids with complete eyelid surgery. During your consultation at our office in Fairfield County, Connecticut, each eyelid surgery will be discussed in detail. Dr. Passaretti will make a treatment recommendation based on several factors, including the physical condition and thickness of your skin, your facial structure, as well as your personal goals for surgery.
Rhinoplasty, or nasal reshaping, is a popular facial plastic surgery designed to enhance the appearance of the nose and improve facial symmetry. At our Connecticut practice, we perform rhinoplasty to correct large, bumpy, crooked, or otherwise disproportionate noses; we also use rhinoplasty in a reconstructive capacity to correct birth defects and other internal and external nasal irregularities.
The goal of rhinoplasty is to improve balance between the nose and other prominent facial features, including the eyes and chin. This may require only a subtle change or more significant nasal sculpting. When patients visit our practice for a rhinoplasty consultation, we encourage them to voice their concerns about their noses. The best results occur when Dr. Passaretti has a thorough understanding of patients' goals and they in turn have set realistic expectations for their surgery.
Dr. Passaretti is a skilled cosmetic surgeon who has achieved beautiful, natural looking results for hundreds of patients. Visit our gallery to see some of our before and after photos.
