Facial Balance

Facial symmetry and proportion are key components of aesthetic beauty. At Doucet Plastic Surgery, we offer surgical solutions to refine the ears, nose, and chin, creating a more harmonious appearance.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

If you or your child are bothered by ears that protrude, are misshapen, or out of proportion, otoplasty (ear surgery) can improve their shape, position, or proportion. This procedure can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth, or treat misshapen ears caused by injury.

Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty, sometimes referred to as a "nose job," reshapes the nose by modifying the bone or cartilage. It is one of the most common types of plastic surgery and is performed to:

• Change the size of the nose in relation to facial balance
• Adjust the bridge width or the size/position of nostrils
• Correct the tip of the nose (bulbous, drooping, or hooked)
• Improve breathing by correcting a deviated septum

Chin Surgery (Mentoplasty)

Mentoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Often, a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having rhinoplasty in order to achieve better facial proportions, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose.

Every face is unique. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Lucius Doucet in Baton Rouge to discuss a personalized plan for your facial harmony.
