This artistic ability, combined with an innate desire to help others, led Dr. Schoemann to pursue a career in plastic surgery, which he felt allowed him to balance his passion for art and science. Prior to specializing in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Schoemann was a pediatric plastic surgeon. He found it incredibly rewarding to change a young child’s life and now offers the same impactful, life-changing results to adults at his private practice, Schoemann Plastic Surgery Center. What began as a childhood dream of helping others find happiness sparked a lifelong mission to remain focused on that task. His actions throughout his education and career are evidence of Dr. Schoemann’s dedication to that mission. Dr. Schoemann previously served as an assistant professor of plastic surgery at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in Roanoke, VA. Today, while maintaining a superior plastic surgery center, Dr. Schoemann holds membership with the Southeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He is currently board certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. #### Professional Memberships #### Education and Training - Bachelor of Arts, Latin – 1999 Emory University, Atlanta, GA - Doctor of Medicine – 2003 Emory School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA - Surgery Internship – 2004 University of Kentucky – Lexington, KY - General Surgery Residency – 2008 University of Rochester – Rochester, NY - Plastic Surgery Residency – 2011 Duke University – Durham, NC - Craniofacial Surgery Fellowship – 2012 Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta – Atlanta, GA #### Skills and Specialties Dr. Schoemann went to great lengths over several years to obtain what is without a doubt a highly exceptional education. This training made it possible for him to excel in plastic and reconstructive surgeries of the body, face, and hands while prioritizing the needs, safety, and comfort of his patients. In addition, Dr. Schoemann is skilled in male-to-female, female-to-male, and facial feminization procedures. Because he began his private practice career performing craniofacial surgery on small children, Dr. Schoemann can master the most meticulous of cosmetic surgeries to produce stunning, life-changing results for Encinitas area patients. Though he performs an array of vastly unique procedures under a holistic approach, his top specialties are currently breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, facelifts, blepharoplasty, and tummy tucks. #### Humanitarianism After spending numerous years perfecting his craft, Dr. Schoemann felt called to focus on helping others — the goal that had originally inspired his enrollment into medical school. In July of 2012, Dr. Schoemann flew to Guwahati, India to become the medical director of Operation Smile’s Comprehensive Cleft Care Centre. As the program’s director, Dr. Schoemann oversaw the safe execution of 2,500 cleft palette surgeries, performing approximately 350 of them himself. The highlight of Dr. Schoemann’s year in India was seeing patient after patient light up with joy following surgery. The time abroad helped Dr. Schoemann understand the inspiring ability of individuals to find joy in tough situations. This ignited a fire within Dr. Schoemann to devote his life and time to those in need. --- ## Humanitarian Work **Link:** [Humanitarian Work](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/about/humanitarian-work/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/about/humanitarian-work/index.html.md)) **Description:** Dr. Mark Schoemann discusses his passion for humanitarian work with Operation Smile's Comprehensive Cleft Care Centre. ### Content As the medical director it was my responsibility to ensure that the 2,500 surgeries that were performed throughout the year were performed in a safe and sufficient manner. In addition to overseeing the day-to-day operations of the center I performed approximately 350 surgeries myself, directly impacting the lives of numerous people. Seeing the excitement and delight in the eyes of a patient when they first looked into a mirror after surgery was always the best part of my day. The Guwahati Comprehensive Cleft Centre is Operation Smile’s flagship hospital devoted to the treatment of children and adults with cleft lips and/or palates and is one of the largest centers in the world. It was constructed specifically in the state of Assam to help treat the estimated 30,000 people that were born with a cleft but never had access to a plastic surgeon. Living in a third world country taught me a lot about the human spirit and our ability to be happy without the luxuries of the first world. Over the course of the year I became integrated into the Assamese culture and traveled extensively, not only learning about India and its rich culture but also about myself. I feel extremely fortunate that I had this life changing opportunity and that I had the courage to take a leap of faith and travel to a remote part of India, giving myself and my time to people that truly needed it. --- ## Our Holistic Approach **Link:** [Our Holistic Approach](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/about/our-holistic-approach/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/about/our-holistic-approach/index.html.md)) **Description:** A holistic approach can enhance surgical outcomes and shorter recovery times. Learn more about the holistic approach at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. ### Content Are you looking for the right surgeon to perform your plastic surgery? When it comes to surgical outcomes, the approach your surgeon uses determines what your results will be. One possible approach is a holistic one, ensuring every change meets your entire sense of beauty. [Dr. Schoemann](/about/dr-schoemann/) at Schoemann Plastic Surgery uses a holistic approach when performing procedures. Working with patients throughout Encinitas and North County, Dr. Schoemann can help you reach your aesthetic goals and feel like the best version of yourself. #### What Defines the Holistic Approach? If you wonder, “What is a holistic approach?” you are not alone. Many do not know what it means to take a holistic approach to plastic surgery. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we want every patient to understand what to expect when receiving treatment with us. Dr. Schoemann’s holistic approach is defined by functionality, well-being, and authenticity. #### Appearance and Functionality When it comes to plastic surgery procedures, you need to consider how this surgery will affect your entire appearance. When taking a holistic approach to plastic surgery, Dr. Schoemann always considers how the procedure will affect your body’s appearance and functionality. This means assessing how it will impact your entire body rather than just the surgical site. For example, if you are having a facelift performed, Dr. Schoemann examines how this will impact the entirety of your appearance. If you are having a breast augmentation, Dr. Schoemann will consider how this affects your figure overall. Through Dr. Schoemann’s holistic approach, the team at Schoemann Plastic Surgery goes above and beyond to ensure that your procedure is the right fit. #### Mental and Emotional Well-Being Another aspect of the holistic approach is considering your mental and emotional well-being. Too often, plastic surgery is only thought of in physical terms, but it is intricately linked to your mental health and emotions. Our goal is to not only help you look like the best version of yourself but to help you feel like the best version of yourself. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we strive to provide a supportive and compassionate environment for every patient. When you choose Dr. Schoemann for your surgery, you can rest assured that your mental and emotional well-being will be considered throughout the entire process. #### Authenticity and Transparency One of the most important aspects of performing surgery of any kind is being transparent and honest with the patient. Dr. Schoemann is committed to bringing authenticity and transparency to every plastic surgery procedure he performs. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we believe that you deserve to know every aspect of your treatment every step of the way. This is why we make sure you are fully informed on all aspects of your procedure by receiving all the information you need before you even schedule a date for surgery. #### Why Is a Holistic Approach Important in Plastic Surgery? Taking a holistic approach to plastic surgery can make a major difference in terms of surgical outcomes. When you look at plastic surgery through a holistic lens, you are more likely to achieve a result that satisfies the patient both aesthetically and mentally. Dr. Schoemann performs every plastic surgery with a holistic mindset for this reason, ensuring you reach your cosmetic goals while still feeling like your true self. #### Procedures at Schoemann Plastic Surgery Dr. Schoemann performs various procedures at Schoemann Plastic Surgery with a holistic approach.

Our blog can help. Read on. ### Content **There are many factors to consider when choosing your implants – size and shape being two of the most notable**. While many of these factors will come down to your personal preferences and needs, Dr. Schoemann will use his expertise and years of experience to ensure that you achieve the [outcome you want from your breast augmentation](/breast-augmentation-oceanside-ca/). Many of the patients we work with at Schoemann Plastic Surgery are hoping to achieve not just additional fullness with their [breast augmentation](/landing/breast-augmentation/), but also an improved shape. It can be hard for some patients to determine what holds the most priority between these two components. #### What Implant Shapes are Available? To start, there are two commonly used implant shapes – round and teardrop. The majority of Dr. Schoemann’s breast augmentation patients choose *round implants*, which provide an even fullness. *Teardrop implants*, on the other hand, have more volume in the lower portion. Depending on your desired look and the amount of current breast tissue you have, Dr. Schoemann will make a recommendation regarding size and shape. At our Encinitas, CA practice, our patients are primarily concerned with achieving a natural-looking result. **While increasing the breast volume with an implant will certainly make your breasts larger, the actual shape of the implant can determine how natural and aesthetically pleasing the breast augmentation outcome is**. #### How Will Dr. Schoemann Know What Size Implant Is Right for Me? Depending on what size you would like to achieve, Dr. Schoemann may temporarily switch out multiple implants during surgery to get an idea of a better fit and to ensure you are getting the results that will make you feel your best and most confident. For those with a lower amount of existing breast tissue, an implant that provides both shape and volume may be used. Alternatively, for patients with a higher amount of existing tissue, they may choose an implant providing the most additional volume if they already have a shape they prefer. In *determining what size and shape will be proportionate for your body frame*, Dr. Schoemann and his trained staff will have a detailed consultation with you to address any concerns and questions you may have, while also ensuring your desired look is achieved. Additionally, 3D imaging and sizers may be used to help you understand how various sizes and shapes may look on your frame. While Dr. Schoemann will work with and educate each patient individually to accomplish a beautiful and balanced result, it is truly up to our patients to decide the look they hope to obtain with their *breast augmentation* procedure. We recommend looking at the gallery of procedures that have been performed in our [Encinitas Plastic Surgery](/) location in the past to see how various women have renewed their self-confidence with Dr. Schoemann’s expert practice.

But will this procedure in Encinitas, CA change the shape of your eyes? Read here to find out! ### Content *A blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from above or below the eye*. Also called an *eyelid lift*, blepharoplasty is both a cosmetic surgery, as well as a functional one. Many individuals with hooded eyelids or excess skin due to age can have difficulty with their vision due to the excessive amounts of skin. This discomfort and impairment become a health concern that can be resolved with a blepharoplasty. At Dr. Schoemann's [Encinitas plastic surgery practice](/), he is an expert in all procedures that are eyelid related. With numerous blepharoplasty's under his belt, Dr. Schoemann and his compassionate staff will work with you to find out exactly what you want and how to best achieve that outcome for you. [Learn More About Blepharoplasty](/face/blepharoplasty-encinitas-ca/) #### What Happens During a Blepharoplasty Procedure? The results of a blepharoplasty can be dramatic - **in some cases, a slight change in eye shape is observed**. When the eyelid has been weighed down with excess or wrinkled skin, the eyes can appear more closed or squinted, often causing you to look tired, angry, or upset. By removing this skin and lifting the eyelid, the eyes will appear more alert and awake. [An eyelid surgery such as blepharoplasty can yield amazing results](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.influx-dev.com/face/blepharoplasty-encinitas-ca/) that make you look more youthful, better rested, and more attentive. **While the primary purpose of an eyelid lift is not to change the eye shape, this can often be a by-product of the procedure**. The appearance of the eyes can be dramatically altered by the removal of excess skin or puffy bags under the eyes. Eyes that are weighed down or crowded by aging skin or puffy bulges may seem smaller or narrower. Once this skin is removed, the eye can appear more open, rounder, and awake. #### View Eyelid Lift Results #### Slight Changes May Occur For patients with hooded eyelids, a [blepharoplasty](/face/blepharoplasty-encinitas-ca/) can create a smoother surface area on their eyelids, which can slightly change the appearance of the eyes and make them appear less sunken. Predominantly speaking, the goal of a blepharoplasty is to remove unnecessary tissue and refresh the area surrounding the eye. Though **small changes may occur in the appearance of your eye shape**, these changes will not be drastic. Dr. Schoemann will walk you through every step of your procedure to ensure a beautiful and aesthetic result.

With **body contouring** Encinitas patients get a series of procedures that can reshape the body for a slimmer or more curvaceous figure. Schoemann Plastic Surgery offers various personalized body contouring solutions that address sagging skin, stubborn fat, and uneven contours. [At Schoemann Plastic Surge­ry near Carlsbad](/plastic-surgery-carlsbad-ca/), we offer various personalized *body contouring* solutions, including: - [**Liposuction:**](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/) This fat reduction technique remove­s unwanted fat from areas like the­ stomach, hips, thighs, and arms, resulting in a more sculpted and smoother figure. - [**Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty):**](/body/tummy-tuck-encinitas-ca/) For those­ worried about extra skin and weake­ned abdominal muscles, a tummy tuck can help.

[.lead]*Body contouring is most beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss through lifestyle changes or surgery*. These procedures can remove excess, sagging skin and stubborn fat to help patients fully realize the results of their hard work.[] Like any plastic surgery procedure, **body contouring** may not be right for everyone. A consultation with Dr. Schoemann is essential to determine if body contouring is the right choice for you. However, there are seve­ral indicators that suggest you could benefit from *body contouring tre­atments*. If you exhibit any of these­ signs, body contouring may be advantageous. - **Sagging Skin:** Substantial weight fluctuations or aging can re­sult in loose, inelastic skin unable to re­tighten independe­ntly.

These­ stubborn fat accumulations can be addressed through body contouring. - **Deflated breasts or buttocks:** If your bre­asts or buttocks have lost their youthful shape, body contouring proce­dures can lift and reshape the­m to your desired contours. - **Dissatisfaction preventing a sculpted figure:** Any combination of the above factors pre­venting you from achieving the tighte­r, more sculpted physique you de­sire. Recognizing that *body contouring is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle* is crucial. Patients who are at their ideal weight and who can maintain that weight will experience optimal results.

Other women who have limited natural breast tissue, or those who participate in weight training, can choose breast augmentation to achieve a curvier figure. *Breast augmentation is a procedure that is customized to help each patient achieve their ideal silhouette by using advanced techniques to accentuate each patient’s body type and structure*. #### It Is Not So Perfect For… Breast augmentation alone is not so ideal for Carlsbad women who are unhappy with the position of their breasts on their chest wall. In other words, breasts that sag or droop cannot be corrected by **breast augmentation**. If you want your breasts to be perkier, talk to Dr. Schoemann about [a breast lift](/breast/breast-lift-encinitas-ca/). He can even *combine a breast lift with a breast augmentation* if you are interested in achieving larger, fuller breasts as well as breasts that are restored to their natural position on the chest wall. #### How Old Do I Have to Be to Get a Breast Augmentation? To protect young women physically, as the body needs time to complete development before augmentation occurs, and emotionally, to ensure a patient is choosing the procedure from a mature position, the [FDA requires women](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/breast-implants/types-breast-implants) to be at least 18 to receive saline-filled implants, and at least 22 to receive silicone-filled implants. If **breast augmentation** is performed before development has been completed, unwanted changes to the final results could occur. Dr. Schoemann spends intentional time with every **breast augmentation** patient to determine the best course of action so that he can achieve their desired results. #### What Are the Costs Involved in Breast Augmentation?

The best way to determine whether you are a good fit for *breast augmentation* is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Schoemann. During a one-on-one consultation, Dr. Schoemann will review your medical history, perform a physical evaluation, and talk to you about your expectations for breast augmentation. Based on this information, Dr. Schoemann will verify that you are a good candidate for a safe and successful breast augmentation. The ideal candidates are adult women who are in good physical health, have realistic expectations, and have stable and healthy body weight. Additionally, candidates for our Oceanside **breast augmentation** should have fully developed breasts prior to surgery. Also, we caution against having breast augmentation if you are pregnant or plan on getting pregnant soon, as this may reverse the effects of the surgery. #### It Is Ideal For… *Breast augmentation is a great choice for women whose breast size and volume have been affected by pregnancy, age, or weight loss*. Women who weight train or have limited natural breast tissue also benefit from **breast augmentation in Oceanside**, as the procedure can be used to *enhance breast volume* using advanced techniques aligned with each patient’s body type and structure. Additionally, the procedure can also be a good option for women who have simply never been satisfied with the size or symmetry of their breasts. #### It Is Not Ideal For… Sometimes women are interested in breast augmentation because they are dissatisfied with the shape or positioning of their breasts. **Breast augmentation** is not a good option for correcting breasts that only sag or droop. To address breasts that lost their perky position, Dr. Schoemann typically recommends a breast lift. However, *if you want to improve both the position and the size of your breasts, you can have a breast lift combined with your breast augmentation procedure for a single, comfortable plastic surgery experience*. We only recommend breast augmentation for women who wish to change their physical appearance for their own sake. We do not recommend having plastic surgery to please someone else. #### Do I Have to Be at Least 18 to Get a Breast Augmentation?

When you meet with Dr. Schoemann for your initial consultation, he will provide you with a more precise timeframe for your specific procedure. #### Will Getting a Facelift Hurt During the Procedure? Your comfort and safety are both top priorities for Dr. Schoemann and his team, which is why most **facelift** procedures are conducted under general anesthesia. This type of anesthesia ensures the patient is completely unaware of their procedure and does not feel anything during surgery. After your *facelift* is completed and you have been moved into a recovery room, our nurse will begin to wake you up from the effects of your anesthesia. You may begin to feel mild discomfort at this time; however, Dr. Schoemann will prescribe pain medication to control your level of pain. Be sure to take it as directed and on a schedule to stay comfortable. #### Facelift Recovery and Expectations You should expect your *initial facelift recovery* to take between 10 and 14 days. During this time, you should take time off from work and other normal daily activities to allow your face time to heal and any swelling and bruising to subside. Afterward, you may resume normal daily activities, as directed by Dr. Schoemann. It is important to remember that while you may not see bruising any longer, your final results may not be seen for several months. #### Will I Need to Get Another Facelift in the Future? As you consider a facelift, it is important to remember that a **facelift** will not stop the aging process. And while you will be left with beautiful, long-lasting results, your face will eventually show signs of aging again. If some years after your initial facelift, you decide you would like to see improvement, you can opt for a *minimally invasive touch-up facelift*. To get the most out of your initial *facelift* results, be sure to protect yourself against excessive sun exposure, maintain a stable weight, and avoid tobacco use. All of these things can lead to premature aging of the face. #### What Are Some Other Things to Consider Before I Schedule My Consultation for a Facelift? Before you schedule your consultation for a *facelift*, consider whether or not you might like to incorporate additional procedures while you are receiving a facelift. Many patients from San Marcos like to include a [brow lift](/face/brow-lift-encinitas-ca/), [eyelid surgery](/face/blepharoplasty-encinitas-ca/), [nose job](/face/rhinoplasty-encinitas-ca/), or [neck lift](/face/neck-lift-encinitas-ca/) at the same time as their facelift.

A few laser therapy sessions can permanently neutralize target hair follicles, allowing you to enjoy long-lasting, smooth results across your face and body. [Laser Skin Resurfacing](/laser-treatments/laser-skin-resurfacing-encinitas-ca/) We are pleased to provide safe and efficient laser skin therapies for patients in the *Carlsbad* community. *Laser therapy* uses therapeutic levels of light to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulate collagen production, and foster the development of a fresh layer of healthy skin. *Laser skin resurfacing* can be an outstanding way to address many common imperfections, from acne scars to hyperpigmentation. [Liquid Facelift](/injectables-fillers/liquid-facelift-encinitas-ca/) While a *surgical facelift* can provide long-lasting results, not every patient is ready for an invasive procedure. *Liquid facelifts* allow you to enjoy many of the same benefits without the need for incisions or prolonged downtime. We perform liquid facelifts with a variety of injectables, designed to smooth wrinkles and creases while restoring lost volume. [Microneedling](/skin-treatments/microneedling-encinitas-ca/) The *microneedling* process involves a series of micro-injuries, which stimulate your body’s natural healing process. This in-office procedure can revitalize your skin’s health, restoring its smooth appearance and its elasticity. We provide a topical numbing solution for our microneedling patients, ensuring comfort throughout this procedure. #### Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery?

The collagen-based [Bellafill®](/injectables-fillers/bellafill-encinitas-ca/) is widely considered one of the longest-lasting facial fillers and can effectively address lines, creases, folds, and even acne scars. **BOTOX®** BOTOX® is a very popular injectable used to reduce the visibility of facial wrinkles and fine lines. [BOTOX® injections](/injectables-fillers/botox-encinitas-ca/) work by relaxing some of the underlying facial muscles, specifically those that cause the formation of wrinkles. **Chemical Peels** [Chemical peels](/skin-treatments/chemical-peel-encinitas-ca/) dissolve the damaged outer layer of your skin. As the skin repairs itself, you will witness the emergence of a smoother, clearer, more radiant complexion. Peels can effectively address wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and rough patches on the face or neck. **Facials** Our available *med spa services* include [medical-grade facials](/skin-treatments/facial-encinitas-ca/), which can be customized to meet the needs and concerns of each patient.

This can result in hollow or flat-looking cheeks, but injectables like [JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC](/injectables-fillers/voluma-encinitas-ca/) can help restore volume and youthfulness. We are pleased to include this among our many **med spa** solutions. **Laser Hair Removal** Laser therapy can be the most effective way to eliminate hair growing in undesirable places.

A liquid facelift can help revitalize your facial features without invasive surgery or extended downtime. **Microneedling** [Microneedling](/skin-treatments/microneedling-encinitas-ca/) works by creating micro-injuries across your skin, triggering the body’s innate healing capacities.

These signs can include wrinkles and fine lines, lost volume, sagging skin, age spots, and more. While facial aging is largely a product of time, the effects can be exacerbated by sun exposure and other environmental factors. No matter the nature or extent of your *facial aging*, there are always treatments available to revitalize your appearance. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we provide patients from San Marcos, CA with proven **med spa** solutions, ideal for anyone who wants to look younger without surgical intervention. #### Our Med Spa Treatment Options When you join us at Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we will be ready to learn more about your aesthetic goals and recommend San Marcos **med spa** treatment options for you. Below are some of our patients’ most frequently used non-surgical interventions. [**BOTOX®**](/injectables-fillers/botox-encinitas-ca/) Deep wrinkles are often caused by contractures of the underlying facial muscles. By relaxing these contractures, you can enjoy a smoother, more youthful facial appearance, minimizing creases around your mouth, chin, and forehead. *BOTOX*® is a popular injectable that does exactly that, causing underlying muscles to rest so that your face appears naturally refreshed. [**Bellafill®**](/injectables-fillers/bellafill-encinitas-ca/) One of the most common effects of the aging process is lost facial fullness. Through a collagen-based injectable called *Bellafill*®, we can restore that volume with a healthy and natural-looking plumping effect. For some patients, this injectable is also a helpful way to address acne scars and other facial blemishes. [**Chemical Peels**](/skin-treatments/chemical-peel-encinitas-ca/) One of our most popular **med spa** treatments is the chemical peel. We offer a number of variants, each one designed to target a particular type of facial blemish. Ultimately, *chemical peels* all work by removing the dull, damaged, outermost layer of your skin, and by stimulating the growth of vibrant new skin beneath it. [**IPL Photofacial**](/laser-treatments/ipl-laser-encinitas-ca/) *Photofacials* use intense pulsed light to revitalize your skin. Through this treatment, we can address dark spots, sun damage, and even wrinkles and fine lines. By harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities, photofacials trigger total skin remodeling for a more even and radiant tone. [**Juvéderm®**](/injectables-fillers/juvederm-encinitas-ca/) Dermal fillers work by plumping your skin, restoring lost volume, and smoothing over wrinkles and fine lines. Juvéderm® is one of the most effective and widely used dermal filler brands, with a range of products designed to address creases as well as facial flatness. We are pleased to provide *Juvéderm*® products to our *patients in the San Marcos, CA area*. [**Juvéderm Voluma® XC**](/injectables-fillers/voluma-encinitas-ca/) *Juvéderm Voluma® XC* is an especially good option for patients looking to regain fuller cheeks with naturally round contours. A quick in-office injection can provide you with a naturally rejuvenated facial appearance. [**Laser Hair Removal**](/laser-treatments/laser-hair-removal-encinitas-ca/) Unwanted hair can be a pain, especially when you have to resort to razors or wax to get rid of it. *Laser therapy* can be a better way to address stubborn hair on your face or body. With a few comfortable in-office sessions, you can enjoy long-lasting results, allowing you to put away the razors and wax for good. [**Laser Skin Resurfacing**](/laser-treatments/laser-skin-resurfacing-encinitas-ca/) *Laser skin resurfacing* is a safe, comfortable in-office procedure, designed to restore an even skin tone and natural radiance. Laser therapy helps stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin while also smoothing over acne scars and other blemishes. [**Liquid Facelift**](/injectables-fillers/liquid-facelift-encinitas-ca/) For patients who want a refreshed facial appearance but are not yet ready for plastic surgery, a *liquid facelift* may be the best option. Using a combination of injectable treatments, Dr. Schoemann can carefully and artfully revitalize your facial features, minimizing wrinkles and creases while adding volume where it is most needed. [**Microneedling**](/skin-treatments/microneedling-encinitas-ca/) *Microneedling* is a process that involves a number of micro-injuries made to your skin, triggering your body’s natural healing potential for a revitalized appearance. We provide this treatment with full topical anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout. #### Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery?

[BOTOX®](/injectables-fillers/botox-encinitas-ca/) Often, deep wrinkles and creases are caused by the contracture of underlying muscles. One way to mediate the appearance of these wrinkles is to relax those muscles, something that we can accomplish with *BOTOX*®. A simple in-office application can provide you with a smoother, rejuvenated facial appearance, and maintenance injections of BOTOX allow you to sustain your results. [Bellafill®](/injectables-fillers/bellafill-encinitas-ca/) Over time, it is common to lose facial fullness, resulting in a hollow or sunken appearance. With a collagen-based injectable called *Bellafill*®, we can produce a natural plumping effect, restoring you to healthy volume. Bellafill is also an effective treatment for acne scars and a number of other common blemishes, restoring you to a radiant complexion. [Chemical Peels](/skin-treatments/chemical-peel-encinitas-ca/) Chemical peels rank among the most popular *med spa* treatments, providing a simple and therapeutic way to restore your skin. *Chemical peels* work to eliminate the outermost layer of skin, including blemished or damaged skin, and to nourish a healthy new layer of skin beneath. We are happy to offer a spectrum of different chemical options to address a wide range of aesthetic goals. [IPL Photofacial](/laser-treatments/ipl-laser-encinitas-ca/) *IPL*, or intense pulsed light, is a popular Solana Beach **med spa** option, used to restore more youthful-looking skin. Photofacials can be used to treat dark spots, sun damage, and even wrinkles and fine lines. This light-based therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities, triggering the renewal and remodeling of your skin to promote a more radiant tone. [Juvéderm®](/injectables-fillers/juvederm-encinitas-ca/) *Juvéderm*® is a popular line of dermal fillers, a collection of injectables that create a naturally plumping, volumizing effect on your skin. With this lineup of products, our team can help you address wrinkles and lines as well as facial flatness, providing you with the healthy and dynamic facial appearance you desire. [Juvéderm Voluma® XC](/injectables-fillers/voluma-encinitas-ca/) If you have lost facial fullness and long for more pronounced cheeks, you may be a good candidate for *Juvéderm Voluma® XC*. This is one of our most popular injectable fillers, providing an elegant way to regain a healthy contour around your face. [Laser Hair Removal](/laser-treatments/laser-hair-removal-encinitas-ca/) Nobody likes discovering hair growing in unwanted places. Wax and razors can be time-consuming, painful, and ultimately ineffective. *Laser hair removal* offers a better way, allowing you to eliminate stubborn hair permanently and painlessly from your face or body. We are pleased to provide laser hair removal to our patients in Solana Beach, CA. [Laser Skin Resurfacing](/laser-treatments/laser-skin-resurfacing-encinitas-ca/) *Laser skin resurfacing* is a safe and effective way to replenish your skin, resulting in a natural-looking rejuvenation. Laser therapies can remove damaged skin, stimulate the production of collagen, and even tighten your skin for a more youthful look. [Liquid Facelift](/injectables-fillers/liquid-facelift-encinitas-ca/) *Liquid facelifts* provide some of the same benefits as a surgical facelift, without the need for incisions or anesthesia. This procedure is performed with a combination of injectable medications, including different fillers that smooth over wrinkles and fine lines along with other common blemishes. [Microneedling](/skin-treatments/microneedling-encinitas-ca/) For the *microneedling* process, we first apply a topical numbing agent to ensure your comfort.

Restore jawline definition, address loose skin, and refine the lower face and neck with natural-looking results. ### Content #### The Good Kind Of Undetectable San Diego is a funny place to talk about *facelift surgery* because the aesthetic here is specific. People want to look like they slept well, surfed a little, drank enough water, and know a very good dermatologist. They do not want the face to announce that a surgical procedure happened. That takes more skill than most people realize. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in San Diego **facelift** surgery is planned around structure first: the jawline, the cheeks, the lower face and neck, the deeper facial tissues, and the way the face moves when someone talks, smiles, turns their head, or sits in natural light. Dr. Mark Schoemann is a *board-certified plastic surgeon serving San Diego, Encinitas, La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Oceanside, and the surrounding North County communities*. A *facelift in San Diego* should look like better facial balance, not a new identity. Cleaner neck. Softer jowls. Less heaviness around the mouth. A face that still feels like yours. #### What Is a Facelift? A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and repositions facial tissues, trims excess skin, and improves sagging skin in the lower face and neck. Modern *facelift surgery* focuses on deeper facial structures, not surface pulling, so the result can look natural instead of tight. A facelift procedure is about support. That’s the part that gets lost in most online conversations. Creams can help skin quality. Lasers can improve texture. Injectables can soften lines or restore volume. Skin tightening devices can help early laxity in the right patient. A *surgical facelift* does something different: it restores deeper support when the face has started to settle downward. That’s why the best San Diego **facelift** results don’t look stretched. They look reset. The skin is smoother because the deeper facial tissues are doing their job again. #### What Does a Facelift Actually Treat? *A facelift treats visible signs of facial aging caused by loose skin, sagging skin, jowls, deeper folds, and shifting facial tissues*. It’s most helpful for the lower face and neck, where nonsurgical treatments tend to lose their power over time. Most patients don’t come in asking for facial rejuvenation in the abstract. They come in because their jawline looks softer than it used to. The neck has started to fold in photos. The lower face looks heavier, even when their weight hasn’t changed. The face and neck are no longer moving at the same pace. With a **facelift** San Diego patients can improve: - Jowls along the jawline - Loose skin in the lower face - Sagging skin around the cheeks and mouth - Deep creases that come from tissue descent - Nasolabial folds that look heavier with age - Laxity under the chin - Softening through the lower face and neck - Loss of natural contours around the jaw - Facial balance after weight loss or aging It doesn’t do everything. That’s a good thing to know early. *A facelift will not remove sun spots, fix every fine line, or change skin texture on its own*. San Diego sun exposure has its own footprint. For that, patients may need laser resurfacing, microneedling, medical-grade skin care, or another skin-focused treatment after the face has healed. Structure first. Skin second. #### Why the Face Starts To Look Heavy Facial aging happens in layers. Skin elasticity changes, facial fat shifts, facial muscles loosen, and underlying tissues lose support. As deeper facial structures move, the lower face can look heavier, the jawline can blur, and loose skin can become more visible. The face doesn’t age like a bedsheet getting wrinkled. That would be easier. Aging changes the skin, fat, ligaments, muscle support, and bone structure. Over time, the cheeks may settle lower. The jawline may lose its clean edge. The neck may collect loose skin. The folds around the mouth may deepen. This is where many patients get frustrated with nonsurgical treatments. Filler can help hollow areas, but too much filler in a face that needs lifting can make the face look puffier. A [liquid facelift](/injectables-fillers/liquid-facelift-encinitas-ca/) has a place, but it cannot reposition deeper facial tissues or remove excess skin. Skin tightening can help with mild laxity. It has limits. A **facelift** is the more honest answer when the real issue is support. The goal is not to make the face look tight. The goal is to put the right tissues back where they belong and let the skin follow. #### Deep Plane Facelift in San Diego A deep plane facelift repositions deeper facial tissues beneath the skin to improve the cheeks, jawline, and lower face in a more connected way. [Deep plane facelift surgery](/face/deep-plane-facelift/) can create natural-looking results because the lift comes from deeper support rather than skin tension. The deep plane facelift has become one of the most searched terms in facial plastic surgery, and for good reason. People have seen enough pulled faces to know they want something better. A deep plane facelift works under the skin, where the deeper facial structures have shifted. Instead of stretching the skin over the face, the deep plane technique releases and repositions the support layer. For the right patient, this can soften jowls, improve midface descent, and restore a smoother transition from cheek to jawline. Deep plane facelift repositions the tissue in a way that can look more natural because the face is not being treated like a flat surface. It is three-dimensional. It moves. It has weight, muscle, and expression. Still, deep plane is not a magic phrase. It’s a surgical approach that needs expert judgment. Some patients are excellent candidates for *deep plane facelift* surgery. Others may be better suited for a *SMAS facelift*, a *mini facelift*, a *neck lift*, *eyelid surgery*, *brow lift*, or a more customized combination of facial procedures. The right plan depends on facial anatomy, skin quality, skin elasticity, laxity, and goals. The tissue decides. #### Deep Plane vs. Traditional Facelift vs. SMAS Facelift *Traditional facelift, SMAS facelift, and deep plane facelift methods all address facial aging, but they differ in how the deeper facial tissues are handled*. The best method depends on the patient’s anatomy, looseness, skin quality, and the amount of correction needed. Older facelift methods often relied too much on pulling the skin. That is where the tight, shiny, windblown look came from. The skin was asked to do too much work. Modern facelift surgery is different. The stronger work happens underneath. A SMAS facelift adjusts the supportive layer connected to facial muscles and underlying tissues. A deep plane facelift goes deeper, releasing and repositioning a broader layer of facial tissues. A traditional facelift can mean different things depending on the surgeon, which is why the consultation matters more than the label. The best facelift methods share one principle: the skin should not be carrying the lift. When deeper support is restored first, the skin can be redraped with less tension. That can help reduce visible scarring and support a more natural appearance. A good **facelift in San Diego** should look better in motion, not just in a before-and-after photo. #### Who Is a Good Candidate for Facelift Surgery? Good facelift candidates have loose skin, sagging skin, jowls, lower facial heaviness, or neck laxity that no longer responds well to nonsurgical care. Candidates should be healthy enough for elective surgery and have realistic expectations about healing, scars, and recovery. Many patients reach our San Diego **facelift** surgery after trying other treatments first. [Botox](/injectables-fillers/botox-encinitas-ca/). [Filler](/injectables-fillers/). [Laser](/laser-treatments/). RF tightening. Threads. Maybe even a *liquid facelift*. Those options can be useful, but they cannot solve every structural issue. You may be a good candidate for *facelift surgery* if you have: - Loose skin along the jawline - Jowls that make the lower face look heavier - Sagging skin through the cheeks or lower face - Deep creases near the mouth - Laxity in the lower face and neck - Good general health - Stable weight - No nicotine use - Enough skin elasticity to heal well - Realistic expectations about swelling, bruising, and scars A facelift may not be the right move if your main concerns are surface texture, brown spots, tiny lines, or mild volume loss. Those may need skin resurfacing, injectables, or regenerative treatments instead. We also turn patients away when the requested procedure does not match the tissue. A mini facelift cannot do the work of a *full surgical facelift*. A device cannot lift what needs surgery. Filler cannot remove excess skin. That honesty saves time, money, and disappointment. #### Can a Facelift Be Combined With Other Facial Procedures? For a **facelift** San Diego patients can combine it with [eyelid surgery](/landing/blepharoplasty-san-diego/), [brow lift](/face/brow-lift-encinitas-ca/), [neck lift](/face/neck-lift-encinitas-ca/), [facial fat transfer](/face/facial-fat-transfer/), [laser resurfacing](/laser-treatments/laser-skin-resurfacing-encinitas-ca/), or [chin implant surgery](/face/chin-augmentation-encinitas-ca/) when those procedures support facial harmony. Combination planning should improve balance without adding surgery that does not earn its place. A facelift mainly addresses the lower face and neck. It doesn’t correct every part of the face. That’s why combination planning can be useful. Common *facelift combinations* include: - Neck lift for loose skin, neck bands, and lower face and neck laxity - Eyelid surgery for hooding, under-eye bags, or tired eye shape - Brow lift for brow descent that contributes to upper-eye heaviness - Facial fat transfer for selected volume loss - Laser resurfacing for texture, pigment, and fine lines - Chin implant for patients whose chin projection affects facial balance - Upper lip support for selected changes around the mouth The important part is restraint. More procedures do not automatically mean better results. A facelift plan should solve what is actually creating the imbalance. Sometimes that means adding eyelid surgery. Sometimes it means leaving the eyes alone. #### Facelift Scars and Visible Scarring Facelift scars are placed around the ears, hairline, and natural creases so they can fade into existing contours. Minimal scarring depends on incision design, skin quality, tension control, sun protection, and how the patient heals. *Facelift scars* should be part of the conversation from the beginning. Anyone pretending scars do not exist is selling fantasy. The goal is smart placement and low-tension closure. Hairline position matters. Ear shape matters. Skin thickness matters. The way the incision wraps around the ear matters. A stretched scar often means the skin was doing too much work. A better **facelift** places the main support in the deeper facial tissues so the skin can be closed without that tight, strained pull. San Diego patients also need to take sun seriously during scar healing. UV exposure can darken scars and slow down fading. Hats, sunscreen, and common sense are part of scar care. The incision is small. The planning is not. #### Recovery After Facelift Surgery Recovery after **facelift surgery** usually involves swelling, bruising, tightness, numbness, and activity restrictions. Most patients need 2–4 weeks before they feel comfortable in public, while deeper healing and scar maturation continue for several months. The first week is not cute. That needs to be said. Swelling can make the face look wider or uneven. Bruising can move downward. The jawline may feel tight. The ears may feel numb. Patients may feel better than they look, which can be frustrating. A general recovery timeline looks like this: Social downtime and physical downtime are different. A patient may feel well enough to answer emails before they want to sit under bright restaurant lighting in Little Italy, La Jolla, or Del Mar. Most patients can take short walks early, once cleared. Strenuous exercise waits. So do sauna sessions, heavy lifting, intense cardio, and anything that spikes swelling. Healing has its own pace. #### When Will I See Facelift Results? **Facelift** results appear in stages. Early improvement becomes visible as swelling decreases during the first few weeks, while final facial rejuvenation continues for several months as deeper facial tissues settle, scars fade, and skin tension softens. The first visible change is usually the jawline. Then the neck begins to look cleaner. The lower face starts to feel less heavy. The cheeks and mouth region settle more gradually. At first, the face may look swollen or slightly too firm. This is not the final result. By two to three months, many patients look much more natural in motion. By six months and beyond, scars and tissue softness continue improving. *A good facelift should keep getting better as it stops looking like recovery*. The goal is a natural appearance, not a dramatic reveal. #### How Long Do Facelift Results Last? *Facelift results are long-lasting, but the face continues to age*. Skin quality, sun exposure, weight changes, genetics, maintenance care, and lifestyle all influence how long a surgical facelift result remains visible. A **facelift** does not freeze the face in time. It resets the structure to a better position. Many patients keep their results looking strong with sunscreen, medical-grade skin care, injectables, laser resurfacing, and healthy weight stability. Some may choose smaller maintenance treatments later. Others may never want another surgical procedure. San Diego adds one major variable: sun. Daily UV exposure affects collagen, pigment, skin elasticity, and scar fading. A facelift can restore structure, but the skin still needs protection. That part is nonnegotiable. #### Facelift vs. Liquid Facelift A **facelift** surgically repositions deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin. A *liquid facelift* uses injectables to restore volume or refine selected contours, but it cannot correct significant loose skin, jowls, or deeper facial structure descent. A liquid facelift can be useful for the right patient. It can also go sideways when filler is used to solve a lifting problem. This is where a facial plastic surgeon’s judgment matters. If volume loss is the issue, filler may help. If tissue descent is the issue, filler may make the face look heavier. If loose skin is the issue, a surgical procedure is usually the cleaner path. The face gives clues. We listen to them. #### How Much Does a Facelift Cost in San Diego? Facelift costs in San Diego depend on the **facelift** technique, anesthesia, operating time, neck involvement, tissue laxity, combined procedures, and the amount of correction required. A precise quote requires consultation because the cost follows the physical work. *A mini facelift is different from a deep plane facelift with neck lift*. A patient with mild jowling needs a different amount of surgical work than someone with heavy, loose skin, deep creases, and lower face and neck laxity. *Facelift costs* may be affected by: - Deep plane facelift surgery or SMAS facelift technique - Mini facelift procedure or full facelift planning - Neck lift involvement - Eyelid surgery or brow lift - Facial fat transfer - Chin implant placement - General anesthesia or intravenous sedation - Operating room time - Scar planning and revision complexity - Postoperative care needs We do not quote *facelift pricing* over the phone. A number without seeing the tissue is a guess, and guessing is not medicine. During consultation, Dr. Schoemann evaluates facial structure, skin quality, skin elasticity, the neck, the jawline, and the degree of loose skin. Then the team provides a clear quote based on the actual plan. No bait pricing. No vague package talk. #### Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for a Facelift in San Diego? Schoemann Plastic Surgery offers *facelift surgery* through the perspective of Dr. Mark Schoemann, a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, facial anatomy, and surgical facial rejuvenation. The practice focuses on natural results, structural correction, and patient selection. A **facelift** is not a skin-pulling operation. At least, it should not be. Dr. Schoemann looks at the deeper facial tissues, the lower face and neck, the way the jawline has changed, and how much correction the skin can handle. The plan is built around natural-looking results and facial harmony, not a one-size technique. That matters for San Diego patients who want the work to be good and hard to spot. *Many have already tried medspa treatments, skin tightening, filler, Botox, or a liquid facelift*. Some of those treatments still have value. Some have hit their limit. The consultation is where that gets sorted. *Schoemann Plastic Surgery is located in Encinitas, a short drive from San Diego, La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Oceanside, and other North County communities*. Patients choose the practice for surgical precision, direct guidance, and a more natural appearance that fits the way people actually want to look here. Clean. Rested. Still themselves. #### Schedule a San Diego Facelift Consultation A **facelift** should feel like a clear decision, not a sales pitch. If loose skin, jowls, or lower face and neck laxity have moved past what injectables or skin tightening can handle, a surgical conversation may be the most useful next step.

It’s non-surgical, minimally invasive, and tailored to your unique hair growth goals. #### Hair Restoration at a Glance #### Real Support for Real Hair Loss *What Is Hair Restoration?* At our office serving San Diego and Encinitas **hair restoration** refers to treatments that help reactivate dormant hair follicles or support ongoing hair growth in areas of thinning or shedding. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we focus on non-surgical hair stimulation using regenerative products like *Ariessense*, a proprietary growth-support serum made from ethically derived amniotic fluid components. ****Depending on your needs, we may combine *Ariessense* with in-office treatments, such as [microneedling](/skin-treatments/microneedling-encinitas-ca/), which enhances absorption and stimulates the production of natural collagen around the follicle base. Over time, this combo helps nourish the scalp, slow hair loss, and reawaken fine or fading hairs—especially in the temples, crown, or part line. #### Comfortable, In-Office Care *What Is the Hair Restoration Procedure Like?* The treatment is well-tolerated and straightforward. After your scalp is cleansed, your provider will use a series of targeted injections or microneedling passes to deliver the *Ariessense serum* directly into areas of concern. The session takes about 30–45 minutes. You may feel some light pressure or tingling, but most patients report that the experience is comfortable—and there is no required downtime. You can return to work or your daily routine right away. A series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended for best results. #### Support for Thinning, Shedding, and Early Loss *What conditions does hair restoration address?* **Hair restoration** is ideal for patients experiencing: - Gradual thinning at the temples, crown, or part - Seasonal or hormonal shedding - Early-stage male or female pattern baldness - Loss related to stress or lifestyle changes ** **By improving blood flow, nutrient delivery, and cellular activity at the follicle level, this treatment helps extend the growth cycle and reinvigorate fading follicles before they fully shut down. #### Subtle Change.

For **hair restoration** Encinitas patients may be ideal for this treatment if they are: - Noticing increased shedding in the shower or on their pillow - Experiencing a widening part, a thinning crown, or temple loss - Wanting a non-surgical, subtle solution - Looking to prevent further hair loss while supporting current growth It’s also an excellent option for patients who are not yet ready for *hair transplant surgery* or want to *extend the life of their natural follicles* before considering more invasive steps. #### Back to Life Without Downtime *Hair Restoration Recovery & Results* #### Where Confidence Grows *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Hair Restoration?* **Hair restoration** is personal—and often emotional.

This popular injectable treatment offers exceptional results for both men and women. **BOTOX** significantly improves dynamic lines, caused by facial muscle contractions from expressions, affecting the forehead and eye area. While these lines fade with relaxation, *BOTOX* can effectively reduce their appearance. *Botox, a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, is used to temporarily limit facial muscle movements, thereby reducing dynamic wrinkles*. Plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann typically administers these injections to smooth the skin by targeting areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (Crow's feet). #### BOTOX at a Glance #### Relaxation That Starts on the Surface *What is Botox?* *Botox is an FDA-approved neurotoxin injection designed to temporarily relax overactive facial muscles*. By blocking nerve signals in key expression areas—such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet—it softens dynamic wrinkles and can also subtly lift the brows. **[.block] []** Procedure Technique **Botox treatments in Encinitas, CA**, often occur during the initial consultation for first-time clients.

A numbing cream is available upon request.

Encinitas, CA plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann performs *neck lift surgery* to address the appearance of an aging neck. This *surgical neck rejuvenation* procedure tightens the section under your chin and the entire neck to *remove a “double chin” or “turkey neck.”* By taking away the excess skin and fat while incorporating a tightening method to produce a softer neckline, this lower facial surgery at Schoemann Plastic Surgery can provide significant enhancements to the lower half of your face. Dr. Schoemann is a double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon who has trained extensively to master plastic surgeries of the face. Rest assured that your **neck lift in Encinitas** will provide unparalleled results while prioritizing your safety and comfort in the hands of our skilled surgeon. #### Expert Surgical Technique *What is the Neck Lift procedure like?* During a **neck lift** Encinitas patients will have general anesthesia administered. An incision is placed around your ears, and another one may also be made underneath your chin. If pockets of fat exist, neck liposuction would be completed first. Next, any *sagging or hanging skin will be trimmed away*, and the remaining skin will be pulled tight. This tightening method is performed until the desired contour, shape, and smoothness are achieved. Although sutures are used to close the incision, scarring should not be visible since they are located under your chin. An injectable, such as [Kybella](/injectables-fillers/kybella/), may also be used to enhance the results of your surgical procedure. Furthermore, other nonsurgical alternatives can help rejuvenate the skin, such as [laser skin resurfacing](/laser-treatments/laser-skin-resurfacing-encinitas-ca/) or a peel, to create a younger-looking and glowing appearance. [Meet Your Surgeon](/about/dr-schoemann/) #### Transforming Contours *What conditions does a Neck Lift address?* *Neck lift surgery is an exceptionally effective solution for a range of aesthetic concerns that can impact the lower face and neck, often conveying an aged or tired appearance*. It proficiently addresses the common "*turkey neck*" phenomenon (excess, sagging skin), significantly reduces the visibility of prominent vertical platysmal bands that run down the neck, and effectively eliminates persistent "*double chin*" or "*wattle*" caused by fatty deposits and lax skin. This procedure creates a firmer, smoother transition from your jawline to your chest, restoring a youthful and elegant profile. #### Lift Your Confidence *What are the benefits of a Neck Lift?* #### Tailored Excellence *Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery* Men and women contemplating *neck lift surgery* generally battle visibly loose skin along the neckline. Neck skin that hangs is usually caused by numerous factors, including gravity, weight fluctuations, and aging. Regardless of the reason, hanging neck skin causes an unbecoming look, which generally can only be addressed with skin removal and tightening. If your weight is stable but you feel frustrated by loose skin and wrinkles on the neck, a **neck lift** surgery may be a great option. Dr. Schoemman takes a holistic approach in planning every plastic surgery procedure, so he will help you *determine how a neck lift will best serve your goals*. #### Embracing Refined Elegance *What to Expect During Neck Lift Recovery and Results* #### Great Neck Lines *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for a Neck Lift?* *Say goodbye to your “turkey neck”* and attain the youthful and soft neck you dream about.

Read here and schedule a consultation with Schoemann Plastic Surgery to learn more. ### Content #### InstaLift® As we get older, our faces often begin exhibiting signs of age, including wrinkles and loose, sagging skin. There are a number of options available to reverse these signs of age, including surgical methods like the facelift. However, some patients desire an approach that is less invasive and requires less time commitment. One of the most popular non-surgical solutions is known as the **InstaLift**. At [Schoemann Plastic Surgery](/about/dr-schoemann/), we are pleased to offer this treatment option to patients throughout the Encinitas, CA area. #### What is Silhouette InstaLift®? The **Silhouette InstaLift in Encinitas** is a non-surgical, in-office procedure that Dr. Schoemann can perform in as little as 45 minutes. [No incisions are needed](/medspa-services-encinitas-ca/), and no general anesthesia is required. The procedure relies on absorbable/dissolving sutures to uplift sagging skin, including sagging jowls and cheeks. The result is a more youthful appearance, without the same time or recovery commitment you would experience with a full facelift. #### How Does it Work? During your **Silhouette InstaLift** procedure, Dr. Schoemann will pass threaded needles in opposite directions with special cones that grab and lift your facial tissues. Tissues are gathered over the cone and then suspended to create the desired aesthetic. Your body then heals, creating new collagen and fibrous tissue to hold your new facial structure in place. The procedure is typically performed with the patient under localized anesthesia or topical numbing gel. This ensures comfort during the treatment but does not involve the same recovery you would have with general anesthesia. #### What Cosmetic Concerns Does a Silhouette InstaLift® Procedure Treat? There are several cosmetic concerns that we can address with Silhouette InstaLift®. One is facial skin laxity. Over time, the facial tissue loses much of its elasticity, which can lead to sagginess as well as wrinkles and fine lines. With a **Silhouette InstaLift** Encinitas patients can encourage new collagen production, which tightens the facial tissue and helps lift the skin. Additionally, a *Silhouette InstaLift*® can be used to enhance neck and jawline definition. By providing a more contoured jawline, this procedure can help *minimize jowling*, leading to a much more desirable facial and upper neck aesthetic. #### Who is the Ideal Candidate for a Silhouette InstaLift® Procedure? The *Silhouette InstaLift* procedure is recommended for younger individuals who are beginning to see some early signs of the aging process, including sagging skin and facial laxity. For older patients, or those who are seeing more advanced signs of aging, Dr. Schoemann typically recommends more robust treatment, such as a surgical facelift. Generally speaking, the best patients for **Silhouette InstaLift** are those who are in good health overall and do not have any underlying conditions that would impede healing. When you meet with Dr. Schoemann for a consultation, he will review your medical history and ensure you are qualified for a safe and successful procedure. #### What is the Average Recovery Associated with a Silhouette InstaLift® Procedure? *One reason why patients prefer the Silhouette InstaLift® is that it comes with a much less significant recovery time than what you could have following surgical intervention*. After a day of rest, most of our patients feel ready to head back to work or resume other normal activities, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for two to three weeks. Additionally, patients will need to stick with a soft food and liquid diet for the first few days and minimize excess movement of the facial muscles. You are free to resume your normal diet as you feel able. #### What are the Potential Side Effects of a Silhouette InstaLift® Procedure? While the **Silhouette InstaLift** is a very safe procedure, there are risks associated with any medical treatment. It is important to be aware of these risks before you schedule your treatment. - Puckering of the skin - Bruising - Swelling - Numbness - Visible suture lines These side effects typically clear up on their own within a matter of days. A more serious concern is an infection of the treatment site, which may require intervention with antibiotics or other medications. Your surgeon can provide further information about risks and possible side effects during your initial consultation. #### What Can Someone Expect from the Results of a Silhouette InstaLift® Procedure? *You should expect the results from your Silhouette InstaLift® procedure to develop over the course of several months as your body heals and as new collagen is produced*. The coned thread will dissolve on its own, but it will leave new fibrous tissues behind to help maintain your results. The effects of your Encinitas **Silhouette InstaLift** procedure will evolve as you continue to age, and maintenance treatments can help you extend your results. We recommend treatments every 18 months or so to help you enjoy long-lasting effects from your Silhouette InstaLift. **Schoemann Plastic Surgery is a leading provider of aesthetic treatment in the Encinitas, CA area, and we would love to tell you more about safe and effective ways to achieve a more youthful appearance.

Learn more here and have a consultation with Dr. Schoemann! ### Content #### Naturally Full. Fully Yours. *Lip Lift at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* *A lip lift is a subtle yet powerful surgical procedure that reshapes the area between the upper lip and the base of the nose to enhance the natural contours of your mouth*. As we age, the upper lip can lengthen and lose volume, causing the lips to appear thinner and the smile less defined. A well-performed **lip lift** shortens this distance, increases the visible pink portion of the upper lip, and can restore youthful balance to your facial features. Whether you’re looking to reduce the distance between your nose and upper lip or enhance lip definition, the team at Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA, offers expert care tailored to your aesthetic goals. We understand how subtle changes in the lips can dramatically influence your confidence and facial balance. That’s why we specialize in *surgical lip lift procedures* to help you achieve a fuller, more youthful appearance without relying on ongoing lip fillers or temporary treatments. #### Lip Lifts at a Glance #### Perfect Proportions *What is a lip lift?* A **lip lift** is a surgical procedure that shortens the philtrum length, or the space between the nose and upper lip, helping to restore the lip’s natural curve and fullness. This technique is ideal for patients with thin lips, a long upper lip, or diminished visibility of the red lip (vermilion). Unlike lip fillers, which temporarily increase lip volume with injectable fillers, the surgical lip lift offers permanent enhancement by physically adjusting the position of the upper lip. Techniques such as the *subnasal lip lift* or *gull wing lip lift* can be selected based on anatomy and desired aesthetic outcomes. These procedures are often part of broader facial rejuvenation procedures for patients concerned with signs of facial aging. #### Precision in Every Curve *What is the lip lift procedure like?* #### Lift Your Entire Look *What conditions does a lip lift address?* Our Encinitas **lip lift** procedure corrects age- and genetics-related concerns involving lip length, volume, and shape. This includes: - Long upper lip or elongation of the philtrum - Poor definition of the cupid’s bow or vermilion border - Thin lips that lack visible pink tissue when smiling - Drooping lip corners, which may be improved with a corner lip lift - Results from aging, weight changes, or loss of skin elasticity #### Why Patients Are Choosing the Lip Lift *What are the benefits of a lip lift?* With a **lip lift** Encinitas patients get both cosmetic and structural improvements to their appearance: - Restores youthful definition and upper red lip visibility - Enhances natural lip shape without over-reliance on dermal filler - Improves facial symmetry and the smile line by exposing the upper teeth - Requires no ongoing maintenance, unlike lip fillers or lip implants - Part of comprehensive facial plastic surgery for lasting aesthetic results #### Accentuate and Define *Am I a candidate for a lip lift?* If you’ve noticed a long upper lip, thinning or flattening of your smile, or are looking for a permanent alternative to lip augmentation with fillers, *you may be a candidate for a surgical lip lift*. Candidates should be in good health, free from smoking or excessive alcohol use, and have realistic expectations for what the **lip lift** results can achieve. This procedure is popular among many patients seeking subtle yet meaningful facial refinement. #### Your Results Unfold *Lip Lift Recovery* After your **lip lift** Encinitas patients will receive detailed instructions for caring for the surgical site, including the use of pain medication and tips to minimize noticeable scarring. Keep your head elevated, avoid heavy lifting, and refrain from disturbing the incision site. Swelling typically peaks within 48 hours and begins to subside by the end of the first week. Full healing occurs within a few weeks, with the *lip lift* scar fading gradually over several months. #### A Subtle Lift, A Lasting Impression *Lip Lift Results* You’ll begin to *see your lip lift results within days*, with enhanced lip volume, improved curvature of the cupid’s bow, and a shorter upper lip that appears lifted and youthful. Final results are typically visible in 6–8 weeks and are long-lasting, as the surgical changes are structural—not temporary like injectable fillers. With proper care and sun protection, your results can last for many years. #### Excellence in Patient Care.

Book your consultation with Dr. Schoemann today. ### Content #### A Natural Approach to Feeling More Like You For women who want fuller breasts without artificial implants, *fat transfer breast augmentation* offers a beautifully natural alternative. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA, this approach uses your own fat to enhance breast volume, shape, and contours, creating results that feel soft, balanced, and authentically you. Dr. Mark Schoemann, a *board-certified plastic surgeon* with advanced craniofacial training, and his skilled team specialize in breast surgery that respects your natural anatomy. Encinitas **fat transfer breast augmentation** patients choose this procedure for its subtle enhancement, dual benefit of body-contouring, and natural-looking results that align with their lifestyle and goals. #### Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation at a Glance #### Letting Nature Lead *What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?* *Fat transfer breast augmentation (also called transfer breast augmentation or fat grafting) is a cosmetic breast procedure that enhances breast size using your own body fat rather than breast implants*. Fat cells are gently removed from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, then purified and carefully injected into the breasts. *The transferred fat integrates with your natural breast tissue, adding volume while maintaining a soft, natural feel*. Because this technique relies on viable fat cells from your own body, it gets rid of the need for saline implants, silicone gel, or other artificial implants. The result is a natural breast augmentation that enhances shape and fullness without changing how your breasts feel or move. #### Beautiful Advantages *Benefits of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation* Many women choose **fat transfer breast augmentation in Encinitas** because it enhances their figure in a subtle, natural way while avoiding implants. **Benefits include:** - Uses your own fat for a natural breast enhancement - Creates soft, natural-looking results with no artificial implants - Improves breast shape and contour rather than just size - Offers gentle body contouring by removing unwanted fat - Leaves minimal visible scars - Eliminates risks related to breast implants, such as capsular contracture - Supports a natural look that fits your body and lifestyle #### When Subtle Is Exactly Enough *Candidates for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation* Most women who want a modest increase in breast volume and prefer a natural result are excellent candidates for **fat transfer breast augmentation**. Ideal candidates typically are at a stable weight and have enough body fat available for harvesting, though we may have alternative options for treatment if you don't. This breast procedure is especially appealing to women who want *fuller breasts without breast implant surgery*, those concerned about artificial implants, or patients interested in combining breast enhancement with body contouring. Dr. Schoemann will evaluate your breast tissue, fat distribution, overall health, and goals to determine whether *fat transfer* is the right choice for you. #### Enhancing What’s Already There *What Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Can Address* #### A Conversation, Not a Commitment (Yet) *Consultation & Preparation* Your consultation at Schoemann Plastic Surgery is personal and unhurried. Dr. Schoemann will take time to understand what you're looking to have done, explain the *fat transfer* procedure, and discuss whether this approach aligns with your desired outcome. Preparation typically includes maintaining a stable weight, avoiding certain medications, and planning time for recovery. *Because fat survival is influenced by overall health, patients are encouraged to support healing with good nutrition and lifestyle habits leading up to surgery*. #### Where Technique Matters Most *Your Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Procedure* For **fat transfer breast augmentation** Encinitas patients get an outpatient procedure. First, fat is gently removed from areas with excess fat using [liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/), such as the abdomen or thighs. The harvested fat is then purified to isolate healthy, viable fat cells. This purified fat is carefully injected into the breasts in small amounts to support successful fat transfer and natural integration with existing breast tissue. Dr. Schoemann’s technique focuses on precision and balance, *enhancing breast shape while protecting the long-term health of your breast tissue*. #### Thoughtfully Customized *How Much Does Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Cost?* The [breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation-encinitas-ca/) procedure can address a range of physical and emotional concerns. Some women seek surgery after breastfeeding or weight loss, when their natural breast tissue has changed. Others were born with uneven breast shape or very little volume. For athletic women or those with a leaner build, this surgical procedure helps soften the chest and enhance feminine contours. Whether you’re rebuilding confidence or refining symmetry, *breast augmentation* is about aligning how you look with how you feel. #### Built on Intention *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery?* Dr. Mark Schoemann is a *board-certified plastic surgeon who has spent years focused on breast surgery and fat grafting*. His work is precise, measured, and guided by a strong sense of proportion. His results look natural, balanced, and appropriate for each person—not overdone or out of place. The Encinitas office reflects that same mindset. It’s calm, welcoming, and intentionally designed to feel comfortable rather than clinical.

It’s an option centered on balance, comfort, and results that feel like you. Book your consultation with Dr. Schoemann today and treat yourself to the confidence and balance you deserve. [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Upper Blepharoplasty **Link:** [Upper Blepharoplasty](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/face/upper-blepharoplasty/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/face/upper-blepharoplasty/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Refresh tired-looking eyes with upper blepharoplasty in Encinitas. Lift drooping lids and restore your natural, alert appearance. ### Content #### A Bright, Refreshed Gaze *Upper Blepharoplasty at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* As we age, the upper eyelids often begin to droop due to excess skin, fat accumulation, or weakening muscles. This can lead to a tired or aged appearance, and can even impair peripheral vision. At our office in Encinitas **upper blepharoplasty**, also called *upper eyelid surgery*, is designed to remove excess skin and restore definition to the upper eyelid crease. Whether for cosmetic or functional reasons, *upper eyelid blepharoplasty* is a safe and effective way to achieve a more refreshed, youthful appearance. Dr. Mark Schoemann, a *double board-certified plastic surgeon* with extensive experience in cosmetic eyelid surgery, offers a highly personalized approach to ensure precise and natural-looking results. #### Upper Blepharoplasty at a Glance #### Wake Up Tired Eyes *What is upper blepharoplasty?* **Upper blepharoplasty**, or *upper eyelid surgery*, is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess upper eyelid skin, fat, and sometimes muscle to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery targets the drooping or fullness that can occur with age, gravity, or genetics. This procedure is frequently combined with [lower blepharoplasty](/face/lower-blepharoplasty/) or a [brow lift](/face/brow-lift-encinitas-ca/) for more complete eye rejuvenation. This procedure is a popular choice for improving the cosmetic appearance of the eyes, but it can also be medically necessary when sagging upper eyelids interfere with vision. *Upper blepharoplasty* may include skin removal, fat removal, and tightening of the eyelid skin to restore a more open, rested, and alert look. #### Precise Techniques, Seamless Results *What is the upper blepharoplasty procedure like?* **Upper blepharoplasty in Encinitas** is typically performed under local anesthesia, although general anesthesia or conscious sedation may be used in some cases. During surgery, Dr. Schoemann makes a discreet incision in the natural upper eyelid crease to perform precise skin excision, removing excess skin and, if needed, repositioning or removing excess fat. The levator muscle or levator aponeurosis may be addressed if ptosis repair is required. Once redundant skin in the upper eyelid skin is excised and the eyelid margin is restored, the incision is closed with fine sutures. *The eyelid lift procedure takes about 1–2 hours to perform*. Patients are monitored in a recovery room before being released home the same day. #### Reclaim Your Sparkle *What conditions does upper blepharoplasty address?* With **upper blepharoplasty** Encinitas patients can treat both functional and cosmetic concerns. These include: - Excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with peripheral vision - Sagging skin creating hooded or droopy eyelids - Redundant eyelid skin that causes heaviness or discomfort - Bulging eyes or puffy upper lids due to excess fat - A tired or aged appearance caused by eyelid skin laxity *Cosmetic eyelid surgery* helps patients look more rested and alert, and, in some cases, corrects visual obstruction. #### Clarity and Confidence *What are the benefits of upper blepharoplasty?* **Upper blepharoplasty** has both aesthetic and practical benefits. For many patients, removing excess skin and fat enhances the upper eyelid contour, creating a smoother transition to the brow and giving the face a more youthful appearance. Others experience improved eyesight and less strain during daily activities like reading. *The refined shape of the upper eyelid crease can restore facial symmetry and provide long-term improvement in both function and appearance*. Many patients also choose to combine an eyelid lift with a brow lift or lower blepharoplasty for comprehensive rejuvenation of the eye area. #### Subtle, Seamless, Impactful *Am I a candidate for upper blepharoplasty?* Generally healthy adults who are experiencing sagging upper eyelids, excess skin, or fat that obscures the natural crease of the upper lids may be candidates for **upper blepharoplasty**. If droopy eyelids make you appear tired, aged, or angry—or if your *upper eyelid skin is interfering with your vision*—you may benefit from this surgical procedure. Ideal candidates have no serious eye diseases and maintain realistic expectations about what cosmetic *upper blepharoplasty* can achieve. During your consultation, Dr. Schoemann will review your medical history, examine your brow position, and assess the upper eyelid skin excess to determine if this is the right treatment for you. #### The Path to Radiance *Upper Blepharoplasty Recovery* After *upper eyelid surgery*, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, typically peaking in the first 2–3 days and improving over the first week. Applying cold compresses and keeping your head elevated can reduce swelling and promote healing. Artificial tears or prescribed eye drops may be recommended for comfort. In most cases, patients may return to normal activities in about a week, although strenuous activity should be avoided for about two weeks. Stitches are usually removed within five to seven days, Proper care of the surgical site is essential to support healing and reduce visible scarring along the eyelid crease. #### Bright Eyes, Bold Confidence *Upper Blepharoplasty Results* Results from **upper blepharoplasty** begin to appear as swelling and bruising subside, usually within the first couple of weeks. Final outcomes, including a refined eyelid contour and *restored upper eyelid crease*, are typically visible around the 6–12–week mark. These changes can last for years, with many patients enjoying a more youthful appearance and improved vision well into the future. While aging continues, the results of cosmetic eyelid surgery can be long-lasting, especially when supported by good skin care and a healthy lifestyle. #### Where Skill Meets Aesthetic Vision *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Upper Blepharoplasty?* Dr. Mark Schoemann brings both precision and artistry to every **upper blepharoplasty** procedure, drawing on his extensive background in plastic surgery and cosmetic eyelid surgery.

Natural results, less tension, and longer-lasting lift. ### Content #### Deeply Refreshed and Radiant *Deep Plane Facelift at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* Aging doesn’t just affect the skin—it changes the deeper structures of the face that support expression, volume, and balance. *A deep plane facelift is a sophisticated surgical procedure that lifts not only the skin, but also the underlying muscles, connective tissues, and fat pads to restore youthful definition where it matters most*. This modern technique creates natural-looking improvements in the cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds without the overly tight or “done” look associated with older facelift methods. *Double board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon* Dr. Mark Schoemann uses *the deep plane technique* to create subtle yet transformative outcomes that respect your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. This is more than a surface-level refresh—it’s a structural rejuvenation that enhances your facial harmony and slows the visible effects of aging for over a decade. Whether you’re seeking to refine sagging jowls, soften smile lines, or simply look as energized as you feel, a **deep plane facelift in Encinitas** offers lasting, elegant results that help you feel like yourself—only younger. #### Deep Plane Facelift at a Glance #### A Sophisticated Approach *What is a deep plane facelift?* Our Encinitas **deep plane facelift** is an *advanced facelift technique* that lifts the facial skin, connective tissue, and muscles as a unified layer. Unlike a traditional facelift, the deep plane technique moves deeper tissues for more natural-looking, enduring rejuvenation, avoiding unnatural tightness while reducing skin laxity and improving facial definition. This [facelift](/face/facelift-encinitas-ca/) technique corrects signs of facial aging across the lower face and neck by targeting jowls, loose facial muscles, and sagging nasolabial folds. The result? A refreshed look that preserves the unique character of your face, providing enhanced confidence for years to come. #### Elevated Care for Enduring Results *What is the deep plane facelift procedure like?* The **deep plane facelift** procedure is performed under general anesthesia, taking approximately 3 to 6 hours. Surgery time depends on the complexity of the case and whether additional procedures (such as a [neck lift](/face/neck-lift-encinitas-ca/) or [upper](/face/upper-blepharoplasty/) or [lower eyelid surgery](/face/lower-blepharoplasty/)) are performed. Dr. Schoemann creates discreet incisions along the natural creases around the ears and within the hairline. He then carefully releases key ligaments and repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer and deeper connective tissues. The facial muscles, fat pads, and deeper tissues are lifted in a unified motion, creating structural support and reducing skin tension. *This method prevents the overly pulled or "windswept" look sometimes seen with older facelift techniques*. Any excess skin is trimmed, and the incisions are meticulously closed with absorbable sutures. When the surgery is complete, patients are closely monitored in a private recovery suite before being released to return home the same day. Dr. Schoemann and his team ensure you leave with a clear recovery plan in place and follow-up appointments scheduled to check your healing. #### Comprehensive and Personalized *What conditions does a deep plane facelift address?* This advanced facial plastic surgery technique is particularly effective in treating: - **Jowls** – Lifts sagging tissue along the jawline for sharper definition - **Nasolabial** **folds** – Softens deep creases between the nose and mouth - **Marionette lines** – Reduces folds that run from the mouth to the chin - **Loss of midface volume** – Repositions fat pads for a lifted cheek contour - **Drooping facial muscles** – Elevates and supports deeper structures for longer-lasting improvement - **Skin laxity in the lower face** – Reduces stretched or sagging skin with less tension on the surface - **Double chin or mild neck laxity** – Can improve neck contour when paired with an extended **deep plane facelift** #### Beyond Skin-Deep *What are the benefits of a deep plane facelift?* - **Natural-Looking Outcomes** – Avoids an overly pulled appearance by working beneath the surface layers - **Extended Longevity** – Results last 10–15 years—or longer—due to a deep structural lift that incorporates the SMAS and connective tissues - **Comprehensive Rejuvenation** – Addresses the midface, jowls, jawline, and nasolabial folds in a single procedure - **Reduced Scarring** – Minimizes skin tension along incision sites, promoting optimal healing and less visible scars #### A Reflection of Your Truest Self *Am I a candidate for a deep plane facelift?* Both men and women can benefit from a **deep plane facelift**. Candidates typically include patients in their 40s–70s who are dissatisfied with significant signs or facial aging, such as lax facial skin, jowls, or deep nasolabial folds. Surgical candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations for the procedure, recovery process, and results. Smokers will need to quit before surgery to promote good healing. The best way to *determine if a deep plane facelift is right for you* is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Schoemann. At this appointment, Dr. Schoemann will carefully evaluate your skin quality, muscle tone, and goals to recommend a treatment approach tailored to your needs. #### Nurturing Your Results *Deep Plane Facelift Recovery* Initial recovery from a *deep plane facelift* takes about two weeks, with the first few days focused on rest and proper incision care. Swelling and bruising tend to peak within the first 72 hours and gradually improve over the following days. You may be advised to keep your head elevated and limit physical activity to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients return to non-strenuous work and light activities within 10–14 days, though full recovery may take several weeks. Absorbable sutures are often used, minimizing the need for suture removal, and any visible scars are strategically placed to remain discreet along the hairline and around the ears. Because the **deep plane facelift** moves deeper tissues and facial muscles, recovery may feel more intensive than with other facelifts, but the payoff is well worth the downtime. Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions and are monitored closely by Dr. Schoemann to ensure the healing process is smooth, safe, and leads to the best possible cosmetic outcome. While mild tightness or numbness can linger temporarily, most patients feel confident returning to social settings after two to three weeks. #### Your Ageless Chapter *Deep Plane Facelift Results* Results become noticeable as swelling subsides, usually within the first few weeks. Most patients begin to see real improvement around one month after surgery, with full results developing gradually over 3–6 months. This *facelift* technique addresses not only the facial skin, but also the underlying SMAS layer and connective tissue, delivering more natural results than traditional methods. The cheeks appear lifted, jowls are reduced, the jawline becomes more defined, and nasolabial folds are softened. After a **deep plane facelift** Encinitas patients will experience results that last remarkably long. Many patients enjoy results that last 10–15 years or more—especially if they maintain a stable weight and protect their skin from sun exposure. The result is a face that looks refreshed, lifted, and vibrant without sacrificing the natural movements and expressions that make you look like yourself. #### Precision and Passion *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for a Deep Plane Facelift?* At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we specialize in the highly technical *deep plane facelift surgery*, blending structural science with artistic precision.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann is pleased to offer microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) at his office in Encinitas, CA. *SkinPen microneedling uses several fine needles to effectively and safely create micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin*. Micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural production of elastin and collagen, two proteins that contribute to the appearance and health of your skin. Easily performed with other skin treatments, such as serums or *platelet-rich plasma (PRP)*, microneedling can help minimize scars, stretch marks, and pores. Schedule a consultation at Schoemann Plastic Surgery to learn more about the results of *SkinPen microneedling* and discover how to customize your treatment to meet your specific needs and goals. #### Microneedling at a Glance #### Not Scary. Just Smart. *What is Microneedling?* At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we offer *professional microneedling treatments* to stimulate natural collagen production, minimize the appearance of fine lines and scars, and enhance your skin’s overall texture. It’s one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for individuals seeking smoother, brighter, and more confident-looking skin. **Microneedling**, also known as *collagen induction therapy*, is a treatment that uses a pen-like device with tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny channels signal your body to ramp up collagen and elastin production, which naturally helps repair and renew the skin’s surface. The result: firmer, smoother skin with improved tone and texture—without surgery or harsh resurfacing. #### What to Expect *What is the Microneedling procedure like?* Our Encinitas **microneedling** treatments are performed in-office and takes about 30–45 minutes. We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to keep you comfortable throughout. Most patients describe the feeling as a light vibration or pressure—not painful, just unusual. #### Procedure Technique *Microneedling* is performed in a treatment room, typically lasting around 30–60 minutes, with local anesthesia or a numbing cream, if desired. However, most patients experience mild to no pain and discomfort. The areas of skin being treated will be cleansed before the SkinPen handpiece is passed evenly over them. After **microneedling** Encinitas patients can have a topical treatment, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or a vitamin-infused serum applied to allow nutrients to penetrate deeper into the skin. A moisturizer tailored to your skin type will be massaged in, along with sun protection, as the treated skin will be sensitive after the treatment. #### The Skin Concerns Microneedling Was Made For *What conditions does Microneedling address?* **Microneedling** is ideal for improving: - Acne scars or textural scarring - Fine lines and early signs of aging - Enlarged pores - Uneven tone and dullness - Mild stretch marks or skin laxity - Overall skin quality on the face, neck, or décolletage It’s also a great way to enhance the absorption of active serums, such as hyaluronic acid or growth factors, which can be applied immediately after treatment for a deeper impact. #### Stronger Skin, Smoother Texture, Softer Lines *What are the benefits of Microneedling?* [.lead]**Microneedling** isn’t just about looking better—it’s about helping your skin work better. It taps into your body’s natural ability to heal, so improvements happen gradually, comfortably, and without dramatic downtime. [] For many patients, that makes it a smart, low-stress option that fits into real life. #### Short-Term Radiance, Long-Term Repair *Is Microneedling right for me?* You may be a candidate for microneedling if you have light or mild skin issues, such as rough skin texture or low elasticity. **Microneedling** procedures may also reduce the look of scars, pores, and stretch marks. You need to be willing to wait a while before seeing the results of your *SkinPen microneedling* procedure, as elastin and collagen require time to take effect on the complexion. However, you will achieve natural-looking results and gain improved overall skin health. Whether you’re just starting your skin journey or looking to level up your regimen, microneedling is a reliable, low-downtime option that works with your skin—not against it. Let us help you find the right pace and plan to support your goals. #### How Can We Help You?

Have your consultation to see how lipo can help you! ### Content #### About Liposuction *Liposuction is a body reshaping procedure that reduces fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks to produce a more defined appearance*. This treatment at Schoemann Plastic Surgery can be blended to treat several body parts. During your initial visit, Encinitas, CA plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann will examine problematic areas so you can reach your personal goals. **Liposuction** requires a steady hand and an artist’s patience to achieve an outstanding result that prioritizes patient safety and comfort. Dr. Schoemann exhibited a natural talent for sculpting and artistry at a very young age and believes his approach can offer outstanding results. Furthermore, Dr. Schoemann is *double board certified and fellowship trained in plastic surgery*, offering unparalleled skill and experience to his cosmetic surgery patients. #### Ideal Candidates *Liposuction* is a great procedure for patients who are at a healthy weight that have pesky areas of fat that have been hard to lose with exercise and diet. Patients contemplating **liposuction in Encinitas** should have skin that is taut, as liposuction does not address loose or sagging skin. It is also important to realize that liposuction alone, is not a weight loss solution. Women having *liposuction* should be finished having children, as pregnancy could compromise the results. During your initial consultation, Dr. Schoemann will discuss realistic expectations and how the results will most likely affect your entire appearance. With a holistic approach, he will then work to plan a liposuction procedure that best meets all your beauty goals. #### Real Patient Stories #### Surgical Technique Surgical **liposuction** is performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under general anesthesia. A very small incision is made in the skin and a cannula will be inserted. The cannula is a tube that helps loosen the fat as it is being removed. Once the desired amount of fat deposits have been suctioned out, Dr. Schoemann will close the incision. Depending on the number of areas receiving treatment, your surgery could last 1 – 3 hours. In the dedicated recovery area, your post-op team will help manage any pain and care for your incisions until your discharge. #### What to Expect With recent advances to *liposuction* technology and techniques, soreness is often mild to moderate, allowing most patients to return to work within a few days of their procedure. Immediately following **liposuction** Encinitas patients will be given a compression garment, which should be worn for the first few weeks. This garment is thin and can be worn discreetly under your regular clothing. Patients are typically able to return to strenuous activity in 3 – 4 weeks. You will likely notice a difference immediately following your procedure, with optimal results appearing in the coming months. Swelling can linger for up to three months but varies from patient to patient. #### Look Fit and Toned Liposuction at Schoemann Plastic Surgery offers individuals the opportunity to have unwanted fat diminished almost immediately. Without liposuction, it can be seemingly impossible to get the slimming results you want. We offer various choices for your Encinitas **liposuction** treatment based on your personal aesthetic desires and holistic needs, and we welcome everyone across all North County communities to find out how liposuction can help you. **Contact our practice in Encinitas to schedule your private consultation with Dr. Schoemann today!

At our Encinitas, CA office, plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann performs injections of **Juvederm Voluma** to correct sunken cheeks that are flat and hollow due to genetics, weight loss, or age. Schedule a consultation to learn about how *Voluma* injectable treatments at Schoemann Plastic Surgery can safely and comfortably refresh your appearance by increasing fullness and lift. #### Ideal Candidates *Voluma is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler that is ideal for adding contour and lift to your cheeks*. Many patients notice decreased volume of their cheeks as they get older or if they have lost a large amount of weight. Some patients may have been born with thin cheeks and want treatment to plump their face. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not get injectable treatments. *Juvederm Voluma is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients over the age of 21*. You will have a consultation to determine if **Juvederm Voluma in Encinitas** is the ideal choice for you. Based on your needs, goals, and medical history, a unique treatment plan will be formed. #### How Can We Help You? [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Procedure Technique Once you’ve had a consultation with Dr. Schoemann, your injection may be scheduled for another day or performed the same day, depending on availability. In our minor procedures rooms, you will relax while your skin is cleansed before the injections. The injector can also apply a numbing cream to make the treatment more comfortable if desired. For precision, your injector will mark your face before administering the *Voluma* injections with a fine needle.

Women and men who have recently lost weight, or whose weight has fluctuated over the years, may be interested in our Encinitas **body contouring** procedure at Schoemann Plastic Surgery to *remove fat, sculpt the body, and tighten the skin*. Additionally, body contouring can be used for those who have found that diet and exercise are no longer providing the results they desire. Double board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann provides a number of *body contouring options*, from breast lift surgery, abdominoplasty, and liposuction to fat transfers and laser skin tightening treatments. The options for redefining and restoring your physique are endless and implemented to meet your holistic beauty goals, your safety needs, and your comfort. #### Ideal Candidates You may be a great candidate for *body contouring* if you have sagging skin, deflated breasts or buttocks, or fat in areas that are hard to lose. The hips, flanks, neck, abdomen, and lower back are all areas where fat can collect, creating unwanted bulges. Good candidates for **body contouring** are patients of any background who maintain a healthy weight and wish for a tighter, more sculpted shape. #### Real Patient Stories #### Surgical Technique During your consultation, [Dr. Schoemann](/about/dr-schoemann/) will design a *body contouring* treatment plan for you through a holistic approach. This could consist of both surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Surgeries, like [tummy tuck](/body/tummy-tuck-encinitas-ca/), and [breast lift](/breast/breast-lift-encinitas-ca/) or [augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation-encinitas-ca/) usually require general anesthesia. The goal during each of the surgical treatments is to create very small incisions that can be concealed by undergarments and to minimize undesired fat and extra skin, revealing a smoother, thinner body. With most of our Encinitas **body contouring** procedures, Dr. Schoemann will begin with the abdomen but it could change depending on the patient’s body. He will remove excess skin from the stomach area and then move on to tighten the abdominal wall, to reveal a flatter tummy. After the entire abdomen area is complete, Dr. Schoemann will move on to the next desired treatment area, most commonly the sides or back. When working on the back area, Dr. Schoemann will also lift the buttocks. #### What to Expect Following the surgical portion of your body contouring treatment plan, you will be sent home to recover. As surgical **body contouring** procedures can be aggressive on the body, you may be required to remain in the hospital for observation for a few days following surgery. It is common for patients to combine several surgical procedures on multiple body parts, which could lengthen their recovery period. *Nonsurgical body contouring procedures do not typically require a recovery period*. Body contouring is designed to reshape the body, so whether you choose surgical or nonsurgical procedures or some of each, you will notice a tighter, thinner body and a sexier figure. #### Patient Reviews [Read More Reviews](/testimonials/) --- ## Radiesse **Link:** [Radiesse](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/injectables-fillers/radiesse/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/injectables-fillers/radiesse/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Restore structure and smooth lines in Encinitas with Radiesse at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. A collagen-boosting filler for hands, jawline, cheeks, and more. ### Content #### Sculpted, Supported, Subtle *Radiesse at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* As we age, it’s not just fine lines that change our appearance—it’s the loss of structure. That’s where **Radiesse** comes in. Unlike traditional fillers that only add volume, Radiesse works to *rebuild your skin’s framework*, supporting natural collagen production while offering immediate lift. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we use *Radiesse* to restore definition along the jawline, lift the cheeks, and rejuvenate the hands—especially in areas where the skin has started to thin or lose firmness. It’s one of our favorite tools for results that are subtle, sculpted, and designed to last. #### Radiesse at a Glance #### A Different Kind of Volume *What is Radiesse?* *Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA)-based biostimulatory filler*. It provides immediate volume like other fillers, but also acts as a *collagen stimulator*, encouraging your body to strengthen the treated area over time. The result is skin that looks firmer, lifted, and more youthful—without looking overfilled or artificial. #### Quick Appointments, Meaningful Results *What is the Radiesse procedure like?* Our Encinitas **Radiesse** treatment takes around 30 minutes and is very well-tolerated. After a consultation and mapping session, your provider will use a fine needle or cannula to place *Radiesse* beneath the skin in targeted areas. Most patients feel only minor pressure or pinching.

Patients choose this cosmetic surgery to *restore breast volume* after pregnancy or weight loss, correct asymmetry, or simply feel more confident in their own skin. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with craniofacial fellowship training and over a decade of experience, Dr. Schoemann combines surgical precision with deeply personalized care. *Whether you're exploring saline breast implants, silicone gel breast implants, or fat transfer breast augmentation, you’ll receive trusted guidance every step of the way*. #### Breast Before & After #### Breast Augmentation Results #### Breast Augmentation at a Glance #### Reveal Your Ideal Silhouette *About Breast Augmentation* *Breast enhancement surgery is a procedure that resizes the breasts for a fuller appearance*. It is known as one of the most desired cosmetic surgeries, granting women who are unhappy with their breasts numerous options for aesthetic improvement. Using breast implants or fat grafting, this cosmetic treatment improves breast size and shape and produces an attractive and balanced outcome. Double board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann is highly skilled in executing this procedure, performing numerous **breast augmentations** each year that prioritize patient safety and comfort. During your consultation at Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA, Dr. Schoemann will address your concerns and desires, providing you with all of the options available to tailor a holistic surgical plan that reaches your goals. #### Versatile and Personalized *Breast Implant Options* [.lead]During your consultation with Dr. Schoemann, [the correct augmentation method ](/blog/choosing-the-type-of-breast-implants-right-for-your-body/)will be chosen based on your body frame and the results you hope to attain. Breast implants come in varying sizes, profiles, shapes, and textures — all of which are taken into consideration in order to achieve your desired look.[] Today, the most commonly chosen *breast implants* are saline or silicone, both widely chosen and approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It is important to mention that individuals considering saline breast implants must be 18 years of age, while patients must be 22 years of age in order to undergo an augmentation using silicone. *Two other types of augmentations include gummy bear implants and an autologous approach through fat grafting*. Aside from the type of **breast augmentation** chosen, there are other notable factors to consider, including incision placement and method of implant placement. #### Video #### Understanding Your Options *Making The Right Implant Choice* These options may seem overwhelming, but selecting the right implant is simple when you have the right information. You can trust Dr. Schoemann and his staff to take the time to ensure that you are well informed about your options for **breast augmentation**. #### Refinement is in the Details *Surgical Technique Options* There are a couple of methods that may be chosen for implant placement. These include either submuscular placement (under the pec muscle) or submammary/subglandular placement (over the pec muscle). Where to place the implant is based on numerous factors, including the size and type of implant, as well as Dr. Schoemann’s assessment of the situation. Implant placement is determined based on your body type, implant size, and lifestyle. #### Your Aesthetic Blueprint *Breast Augmentation Incision Options* [.lead]In addition to choosing the type of breast implant you desire, you will also need to decide which type of incision you want. Scarring is often hidden within the natural creases and lines of the body regardless of incision type, but this decision will have a significant impact on the placement and prominence of the scars. Also, note that certain types of implants may dictate the incision you need.[] As you decide which type of incision you want to have, working closely with your *plastic surgeon* is advised. Dr. Schoemann will be able to recommend the incision option best aligned with your aesthetic needs and goals. For now, we invite you to consider a few of the primary incision types. #### Patient Reviews [Read More Reviews](/testimonials/) #### The Art of Empowerment *What to Expect During and After The Procedure* Cosmetic breast surgery is performed as an outpatient surgery using general anesthesia. After completing the incision, the appropriate implant will be placed through the incision, deposited into a surgically created pocket, and then fitted into its proper position. Following the placement of the implant, the incision is closed with sutures or surgical adhesives. After their **breast augmentation** Encinitas patients will be taken into a recovery area and carefully monitored and screened before being released. You will be sent home wearing a medical sports bra to assist with swelling. Within a few days, the swelling will start to dissipate, and the breasts will begin to feel normal as they adjust to their new position. While individual results vary, most patients can resume normal activities within several days; however, exercise should be avoided for at least 6 – 8 weeks. *Breast enhancement surgery* produces beautiful outcomes that look and feel normal. This treatment can be life-changing for many women, allowing them the chance to feel more confident in their bodies. #### Find Balance, Inside and Out *What conditions does breast augmentation address?* The **breast augmentation** procedure can address a range of physical and emotional concerns. Some women seek surgery after breastfeeding or weight loss, when their natural breast tissue has changed. Others were born with uneven breast shape or very little volume. For athletic women or those with a leaner build, this surgical procedure helps soften the chest and enhance feminine contours. Whether you’re rebuilding confidence or refining symmetry, *breast augmentation* is about aligning how you look with how you feel. #### Beyond the Physical *What are the benefits of breast augmentation?* The benefits of **breast augmentation** surgery go far beyond the physical. Patients often report feeling more confident in fitted tops, swimsuits, and in their day-to-day lives. This procedure can *improve breast symmetry*, enhance breast shape, and restore lost volume due to aging or hormonal changes. Dr. Schoemann offers a wide range of *breast implant options*, including cohesive silicone gel implants, saline breast, and fat transfer, allowing him to tailor each outcome to your specific anatomy and aesthetic goals. Many patients are surprised at just how natural and balanced their final results can feel, both physically and emotionally. #### Your Personal Path to Enhancement *Who are ideal candidates for breast augmentation?* The choice to undergo **breast augmentation** is an extremely personal one for our patients. If you are considering this surgery, it is important that you do it for yourself. Patients should be healthy, be at a normal weight with breasts that are fully developed, and be the correct age to receive implants. Any patient of proper age and weight who is dissatisfied with the overall appearance of their breasts may benefit from this surgery. In addition, if your breasts have been affected by age, pregnancy, or weight loss, this surgical procedure can bring them back to life with increased volume. It is also a great option for women who weight train or have limited natural breast tissue. #### Harmonious Healing *What is the recovery for breast augmentation like?* Recovery from *breast augmentation* varies from one patient to the next, but typically, you can assume that your full recovery will take at least six weeks. The majority of your pain, swelling, and bruising will occur within the first week, with most patients saying that they experience significant improvement within 72 hours or so. You may feel ready to return to work within a week or 10 days, but you will need to hold off on strenuous physical activity for about a month. Also note that, due to the amount of swelling that you can experience, it may take some time before you get a good sense of your **breast augmentation** results. #### See the Change, Feel the Difference *Breast Augmentation Results* Most **breast augmentation** patients begin to see their final results within 6 weeks as swelling subsides and the implants settle. Your outcome will evolve as the breast implant devices adjust to your body’s movement and tissue. Dr. Schoemann’s focus is always on long-lasting, beautiful, and comfortable results that work with your lifestyle. Proper aftercare, regular check-ins, and implant monitoring all help to extend the life of your implants. Though *breast implant rupture* is rare, knowing your options ahead of time can ensure peace of mind long after your augmentation surgery. #### Get The Look You Want *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Breast Augmentation?* *Cosmetic breast surgery* is popular for so many reasons.

Distinct among filler products because of its unique PMMA microspheres, *Bellafill* is considered one of the longest-lasting fillers on the market and is used to lift wrinkles and add fullness. Most commonly used for the correction of the nasolabial folds (smile lines), **Bellafill** is also used for safe and comfortable acne scar treatment. It lifts and fills acne scars and corrects pitted pores to create a smooth skin surface. Bellafill does require an allergy test prior to use, but patients must be at least 21 years old to undergo this treatment. Board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon [Dr. Mark Schoemann](/about/dr-schoemann/) of Schoemann Plastic Surgery considers Bellafill an exceptional option for *increased facial volume*, as results can last for more than a year. *Schedule a consultation at our Encinitas, CA practice to see if Bellafill is right for you*. #### Ideal Candidates Dr. Schoemann conducts a consultation to make sure *Bellafill* is the right product for your safety and comfort needs as well as [your beauty goals](/medspa-services-encinitas-ca/). Candidates for our Encinitas **Bellafill** treatment must be 21 years of age or older and have received the required skin test prior to treatment. Those who need frequent touch-ups with fillers and desire a more long-term solution, without repetitive maintenance are also candidates for Bellafill. Patients who are allergic to lidocaine or *bovine collagen* are not ideal candidates for this treatment. #### How Can We Help You? [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Procedure Techniques Bellafill works in two ways: first, the collagen adds volume and lifts the skin around the laugh lines. Second, the *PMMA* that is comprised of the filler product creates a matrix that supports the body’s natural production of collagen. **Bellafill** is administered during your scheduled appointment in the comfort of our minor procedures room, taking about 30 minutes to complete. The treatment, including the injection dosage, formulation, and location, is tailored during the procedure according to your specific needs. #### Patient Reviews [Read More Reviews](/testimonials/) #### What to Expect After **Bellafill** Encinitas patients will see their results almost immediately. The skin will appear smoother and the treated lines will slowly diminish over the following days. Mild swelling and redness at the injection site will subside within about 24 hours. Patients should avoid exercise for at least one full day. *Bellafill is unique among dermal filler options because the PMMA microspheres provide a microscopic support matrix to aid the ongoing production of collagen, providing longer-lasting results*. After two injection appointments spread across eight weeks, the results of Bellafill can last up to 12 months for acne scars or up to 5 years for nasolabial folds without regular maintenance. #### Fantastic Fullness If you are interested in a cosmetic treatment that offers long-term results without the invasiveness of surgery, call our Encinitas, CA office today at [(760) 487-2520](tel:(760) 487-2520) or fill out our [online form](/contact/).

Read here to learn more. ### Content #### Hit Refresh on Your Skin *About Laser Skin Resurfacing at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* Your skin tells your story—but sometimes it shares more than you’d like. Fine lines, uneven texture, sun damage, or acne scarring can all impact how we perceive our skin. **Laser skin resurfacing in Encinitas** at Schoemann Plastic Surgery is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses pulsating beams of light to exfoliate damaged surface skin. The treatment is effective for correcting facial lines and wrinkles, as well as improving skin blemishes such as acne scars, pigmentation, and more. *Also known as a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing is an excellent facial treatment for patients seeking softer, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin*. Depending on the condition of your complexion, the laser will be adjusted accordingly. Schoemann Plastic Surgery offers *laser skin resurfacing* for anyone in Encinitas and other North County communities who wants to refresh their skin’s youthful glow. #### Laser Skin Resurfacing at a Glance #### Smooth, Clear, and Confident Skin *What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?* Laser skin resurfacing uses *focused light energy* to gently remove damaged skin cells layer by layer. As the skin heals, it stimulates the production of new collagen, helping your complexion appear brighter, firmer, and more even. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we offer *laser options tailored to your skin tone, lifestyle, and goals*. Whether you need a light refresh or deeper resurfacing, we’ll guide you toward the right technology and settings for your skin. #### A Laser for Every Layer *Types of Laser Treatments* [.lead]Schoemann Plastic Surgery offers multiple *laser skin resurfacing* techniques, each chosen based on your skin’s specific needs.[] Our specific technologies, *UltraPulse*, *AcuPulse*, *DeepFX*, and *ActiveFX***,** are chosen according to your unique needs, such as the amount of downtime required following these **laser skin resurfacing** procedures. Any concerns or questions can be discussed with your provider during your consultation. Each technology falls under one of the following categories: #### Quick, Focused, and Comfortable *What is the laser skin resurfacing procedure like?* Our Encinitas **laser skin resurfacing** is performed in-office, and treatment time depends on the size of the area and the depth of resurfacing. Procedure Technique When undergoing a deeper or more intense *laser resurfacing treatment*, you may be advised to use a retinoid cream for several weeks prior to your laser procedure. This helps prepare the skin for better results. Medication will be prescribed prior to the treatment to help minimize pain for greater relaxation during your session. If your skin requires mild correction, a topical anesthetic will be used to numb the specific areas where the laser will be targeted. For the full face or more intense *laser treatments*, some form of sedation may be used. During the procedure, you will relax in our treatment chair while the laser glides over the skin, precisely targeting the specific sections for resurfacing. You will feel warmth from the laser, followed by a cooling sensation from the built-in cooling system. The laser works to eliminate dead and damaged skin cells while also stimulating the production of natural collagen. #### A Modern Reset for Damaged Skin *What conditions does laser skin resurfacing address?* With **laser skin resurfacing** Encinitas patients looking for non-surgical rejuvenation with real, lasting results, this treatment is ideal. *Laser resurfacing* is especially effective for: - Fine lines and wrinkles (especially around the eyes and mouth) - Sun damage and pigmentation - Acne scars or pitted skin texture - Rough or uneven skin tone - Age spots and enlarged pores - Dull, tired-looking skin #### Softer Texture, Brighter Confidence *What are the benefits of laser skin resurfacing?* **Laser skin resurfacing** provides noticeable results for individuals seeking to refresh their appearance without undergoing surgery. Whether you want to smooth fine lines, fade dark spots, or even out texture from old acne scars, this treatment works deep within the skin to rebuild what time or damage has worn down—naturally. Many patients love that resurfacing can improve: - Fine lines and creases - Uneven pigmentation or sun spots - Large pores and rough skin texture - Acne scars or post-inflammatory marks - General dullness or lack of glow ****It’s not about changing how you look—it’s about restoring the healthy, balanced skin that already belongs to you. With the right care, results can last for months and continue to improve your skin’s tone and resilience over time. #### It's Not as Intense as You Think *Is laser skin resurfacing right for me?* Several factors should be taken into consideration when determining which laser peel treatment is best suited for your skin. *Laser skin resurfacing* is designed for individuals who are unhappy with their overall complexion. If you have sun damage, acne scars, age spots, lines and wrinkles, redness, or concerns about pigmentation, a **laser skin resurfacing** treatment may be necessary to address these cosmetic flaws. Additionally, *laser skin resurfacing is effective for patients with scaly patches, a rough texture, or other skin irregularities*. This treatment is not recommended for individuals with very dark skin or active acne. Additionally, it is essential to be aware that downtime is a common side effect of these laser peels. Some patients, depending on the condition of their skin, may require up to 2–3 weeks for recovery. #### When the Glow Really Kicks In *Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery & Results* All patients should reduce their sun exposure after their treatment and apply sun protection frequently. For all peel intensities, the skin will naturally flake, crust, and peel away. It is vital to avoid interfering with the healing process to evade scarring and to protect the treated area from UV exposure. Once the peeling process is complete, your skin will feel softer and appear younger and clearer. #### Glow, Rebooted *Try Laser Skin Resurfacing for a Softer, Clearer Complexion* *Laser skin resurfacing peels can offer excellent results for achieving a younger-looking complexion*. If you are considering a laser resurfacing treatment and would like to learn more about it, as well as other nonsurgical treatments offered by Schoemann Plastic Surgery, please call our office in Encinitas today to schedule a consultation with our team at (760) 550-9965 or complete our [online form](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/contact/). #### Laser Skin Resurfacing *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Facelift **Link:** [Facelift](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/face/facelift-encinitas-ca/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/face/facelift-encinitas-ca/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Our Encinitas facelift procedures can provide a rested, refreshed appearance for healthy adults who do not smoke and have reasonable expectations about surgery. ### Content #### About Facelift Southern California plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann offers a full variety of facial plastic surgery procedures. One of the most common surgeries at Schoemann Plastic Surgery is a *facelift*. This treatment concentrates on precise sections of the face to correct loose skin features to create a smooth, more youthful appearance. Depending on your aesthetic goals, our Encinitas **facelift** can focus on the areas around the eyes, the cheeks and mid-face, and the bottom section including the jowls, mouth, neck, and more for an all-around youthful look. The type of facelift used depends on your goals, the condition of your skin, the amount of laxity present, lifestyle, age, and other factors. Some men and women want a *full facelift*, while others may only need a *mid-face lift* or [rhinoplasty](/for-men/rhinoplasty/). Dr. Schoemann is a *double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon* who has a complete understanding of the anatomy and complex intricacies of facelift surgery, allowing him to put your safety and comfort first in every procedure. The objective is to create a natural look that’s smooth and appealing. #### Who Are the Ideal Candidates for a Facelift? Ideal candidates for a *facelift* are frustrated by noticeable facial wrinkles and lines whether it be on the entire face or a specific section, such as the mid-face and lower face. *Facelift surgery can address various sections depending on your unique signs of aging*. It is important to understand that age does not necessarily define the timing to have cosmetic facial surgery. There are so many unique concerns and reasons, and also numerous lift types depending on what needs to be addressed. The treatment chosen will vary for patients who are in their 30s versus those who are over 60. Skin laxity is one of the most important components in the planning process. For a **facelift** Encinitas patients should be in good physical health and refrain from smoking, and also have realistic expectations. #### Benefits of a Facelift If you feel like your face has started showing some obvious signs of age, and if you wish there was a way you could turn back the clock and gain a more youthful appearance, then a facelift may be just the right procedure. There are a number of benefits you can anticipate from a *facelift surgery*: - A facelift can help you to lift and tighten loose, sagging skin. - Facelifts can also allow you to eliminate unwanted fat. - A facelift can reduce or even eliminate wrinkles, creases, and fine lines. - With a facelift, you can eliminate jowls that obscure your jawline. - A facelift can lead to a more invigorated and youthful facial experience. By getting a **facelift** Encinitas patients can eliminate some of the most obvious signs of aging, returning to a younger, smoother, and firmer complexion. With any questions about the benefits of a facelift, contact Schoemann Plastic Surgery for a consultation. With a holistic understanding of how facelifts can affect your appearance and your confidence, he is happy to help you find out how the procedure can best help you. #### Areas of the Face a Facelift Can Address Getting a facelift can allow you to address a wide range of aesthetic goals. **Facelifts** are generally targeted to the lower and middle sections of the face. This includes your jawline, your cheeks, your chin, and even the upper part of your neck. Usually, facelifts do not address issues regarding the forehead or the eyes. With that said, there are plenty of procedures, including *mini-facelifts*, that can target issues on other parts of the face. Be sure you discuss your specific goals and expectations with your plastic surgeon, who can guide you toward the most effective surgical options that are available. #### Facelift Surgical Technique Options Regardless of your aesthetic concerns, there are numerous facelifts to consider. *Some facelifts treat the upper portion of the face, while others focus on the middle and lower*. Moreover, some techniques are slightly more invasive and intricate than others. It is also common for some individuals to have a [brow lift](/face/brow-lift-encinitas-ca/), or fillers and [BOTOX](/injectables-fillers/botox-encinitas-ca/) to complement their outcomes. A few of the more common **facelift** techniques include: #### What To Expect During and After The Surgery Regardless of the facelift procedure you choose, the ultimate goal is to create a gorgeous and visually appealing outcome. The majority of our Encinitas **facelift** surgeries are performed while the patient is under anesthesia. The duration of the treatment depends on how invasive the surgery is and if other procedures were combined. After surgery, there will be bruising, swelling, possible drainage, some moderate soreness, and discomfort, which can be helped by pain prescription medication. The majority of patients look and feel normal after about a month. You will notice a much smoother, younger-looking facial appearance at this time.

Encinitas patients can learn more about the symptoms and treatment of breast implant illness. ### Content [.lead][Breast augmentation](/landing/breast-augmentation/) is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures in the U.S., with [more than 190,000](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/News/Statistics/2020/plastic-surgery-statistics-full-report-2020.pdf) performed each year. [] While breast augmentation can help you achieve a fuller, rounder breast shape, not every patient has an ideal outcome from their implants. *Some patients develop breast implant illness after augmentation*. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA, we offer treatment for patients who experience the symptoms of **breast implant illness**. #### Treating Breast Implant Illness The most common course of *treatment for breast implant illness* is removal of the implants. Dr. Schoemann provides breast implant removal for patients who are experiencing symptoms and no longer wish to have their implants. It is important to note that breast implant removal may not provide a complete and permanent resolution for *breast implant illness*. While removal resolves symptoms for many, some women still experience the symptoms associated with **breast implant illness in Encinitas**. In certain cases, there is temporary relief from symptoms, only for them to return later on. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we are straightforward and transparent with every patient. Before you undergo breast implant removal, we will discuss all of your symptoms and the possibility that removal may not eliminate them. Dr. Schoemann understands that *breast implant illness and removal* are serious topics. The goal is to provide you with a comfortable space to go over your concerns and find possible relief. Dr. Schoemann will work with you to develop a treatment plan that can best meet your needs. For some patients, this is simply removal surgery. Other patients want to maintain their desired cosmetic goals. This will require *implant removal* and possible [reconstruction or revision](/breast/breast-revision-encinitas-ca/). Your combination of procedures will depend on your aesthetic wishes. #### What Is Breast Implant Illness? At our office in Encinitas **breast implant illness** refers to a series of symptoms some women experience after [breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation-encinitas-ca/). Sometimes, the body does not respond appropriately to breast implants. The following symptoms are common in these cases: [.lead]While these symptoms can all be attributed to other conditions or underlying health concerns, they may be breast implant illnesses if they occur in the weeks following breast augmentation. Women who experience these after their procedure draw a link between their symptoms and the implants because they did not have these symptoms before surgery.[] **Breast implant illness** is not recognized as an official medical condition or disease because the materials used to make breast implants have not been directly linked to these symptoms. Breast implants are made from either silicone or saline, both of which are hypoallergenic and body-safe materials. There has been no proven correlation between either of these materials and the symptoms that present with breast implant illness. With that being said, research suggests silicone implants may be associated with certain [autoimmune diseases](https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/47/6/1846/5133598). These studies indicate silicone implants may increase your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrome, or scleroderma. They may also exacerbate the symptoms of existing autoimmune diseases. This connection has not been distinctly confirmed, but studies are ongoing to determine the link between silicone implants and these conditions. The FDA [has stated](https://www.breastcancer.org/research-news/silicone-implants-linked-to-complications) there is no clear link between silicone and autoimmune disease. In any case, women who experience these symptoms desire resolution and relief from their discomfort. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, Dr. Schoemann will work with you to rule out other potential causes of your symptoms and determine whether *breast implant illness* is the only connecting factor. He will then develop a unique treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms. #### Candidates for Breast Implant Removal or Revision If you are struggling with the symptoms of **breast implant illness** Encinitas patients may be candidates for breast implant removal or revision surgery. Before seeking these procedures, you must understand that there are certain risks with each surgery. The nature of your original augmentation may make it impossible to have either procedure performed. Scarring from the first augmentation can prevent a simple removal procedure, making your surgery more complicated. You should also consider that your removal or revision procedure can cause additional scarring, depending on how your initial augmentation was performed. To *determine whether you are a candidate for breast implant removal*, you can schedule a consultation. During this appointment, Dr. Schoemann will evaluate your current implants and go over your presenting symptoms. Your relevant medical records will be reviewed as well as surgical notes from your original augmentation. This information is used to confirm that you are a candidate for *breast implant removal*. Patients deemed viable candidates for implant removal will be able to move forward with the process and schedule their procedure promptly. If you cannot have a removal, Dr. Schoemann will work with you to develop an alternative treatment plan. #### Breast Implant Illness Treatment at Schoemann Plastic Surgery If you had a recent breast augmentation and are now experiencing *symptoms of breast implant illness*, you will need to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we offer **breast implant illness treatment for patients in Encinitas, CA**. Dr. Schoemann can assess your breast implants and review your symptoms to determine whether you are *suffering from breast implant illness*. From there, we will work together to design a personalized treatment plan that may alleviate your symptoms.

Whether you’re maintaining results from a procedure or just learning how to care for your skin, it’s one of the easiest steps you can take to look and feel more refreshed. Your facial begins with a personal consultation to assess your skin’s needs and sensitivities. *Most facials take 45–60 minutes* and are completely relaxing and non-invasive. You’ll leave feeling calm, refreshed, and glowing, with no downtime or recovery required. #### Procedure Technique After a consultation to [identify which treatment](/medspa-services-encinitas-ca/) will effectively address your concerns, you will be asked to relax in our treatment room as your *facial* begins. Each facial treatment will be customized, but most **facials in Encinitas** will begin with a deep cleansing to remove dirt, makeup, and oil. After the skin is clean, steam is used to open clogged pores, making it easier to extract blackheads and whiteheads. This is typically followed by an exfoliation of the skin, either performed manually or with an added treatment (microdermabrasion or chemical peel). A mask or serum can be massaged into the skin to provide deep nourishment. Lastly, an SPF moisturizer will be applied to protect from sun damage after the treatment. #### Everyday Skin, Better Managed *What skin concerns can facials help with?* Facials are a great first step for individuals new to skincare treatments or anyone looking to take better care of their skin without committing to something intense or invasive.

At our office serving San Diego and Encinitas **Sculptra** is a unique injectable that doesn’t just fill—it gradually rebuilds your skin’s collagen structure from within. That means smoother contours, softer lines, and a refreshed appearance that feels authentically you. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, *we use Sculptra to restore subtle volume in the cheeks, temples, and lower face*, especially where collagen loss has left the skin looking hollow or tired. It’s perfect for patients who want long-lasting results without looking “done.” #### Sculptra at a Glance #### A Full-Face Refresh *What is Sculptra?* *Sculptra* is an injectable biostimulant made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)—a compound that works beneath the surface to *retrain your skin to produce collagen* over time. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which give instant plumping, Sculptra’s results are more gradual. **Sculptra** is especially effective for *addressing facial hollowing, sagging, or thinning skin* and is often used in combination with other injectables or skin treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. #### Quick, Comfortable, and Customized *What is the Sculptra treatment like?* A **Sculptra** appointment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes.

A *Lumenis IPL photofacial* is a revitalizing skin treatment for adult women and men with hyperpigmentation and wrinkle concerns on their face and neck. At our office in Encinitas **IPL Laser** treatments may not be invasive, but it can be very effective and produce impressive results. Plastic surgeon [Dr. Mark Schoemann](/about/dr-schoemann/), or a [member of his team](/about/our-team/), sends intense wavelengths of light that raise the temperature of the skin just enough to start the natural regeneration process and *boost collagen production*. In time, you should see a healthier complexion with a more even tone and fewer spots. #### Ideal Candidates A *Lumenis photofacial* works deep within the layers of your skin to correct many complexion problems (especially sunspots and brown lesions) with [little or no recovery time](/medspa-services-encinitas-ca/). The ideal candidates for **IPL Laser** treatments at Schoemann Plastic Surgery may have many issues with their skin, including sun damage, rosacea, hyperpigmentation (brown spots), wrinkles, rough texture, large pores, flushing, melasma, age and sun spots, or dilated capillaries. Dr. Schoemann will assess your skin to see if you are a candidate for a photofacial during your private consultation and may even recommend other procedures that will complement your results. #### Procedure technique A *Lumenis IPL photofacial* is completed inside our Encinitas, CA office in about 20 – 30 minutes in one of our treatment rooms if performed alone. To start the *photofacial*, the technician will clean and dry the skin to be treated before covering your eyes with special shields. The **IPL Laser in Encinitas**, the treatment is administered using a handheld device that passes over the skin while emitting pulses of laser energy. While most patients will feel some discomfort during the *IPL photofacial*, it is generally tolerable because of its short treatment time. #### What to Expect There is no recovery time associated with a *photofacial treatment*, but you will leave your appointment with your skin a little inflamed and red. This will subside on its own in several hours — it can be concealed with makeup if you desire. Schoemann Plastic Surgery suggests patients apply an ointment on the treated skin to minimize irritation and speed healing. It also helps to take an anti-inflammatory medication to ease swelling. Over the next several days, the blemishes that rested under the skin will come to the surface and then begin to flake off. It’s critical to keep your skin protected from the sun at all times after a photofacial treatment and to not pick at the flaking skin. While you should see some results after the first session, your skin will attain the desired results after several **IPL Laser** sessions. Dr. Schoemann recommends approximately 3 – 6 treatments done around once a month at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. #### Get Your Glow Back You probably didn’t worry too much about your skin when you were young, but now that environmental damage such as wrinkles, sun spots, and other problems are becoming visible, you now may be interested in procedures that fix your skin.

Dr. Schoemann, a *double board-certified plastic surgeon* with specialized craniofacial fellowship training and over a decade of surgical expertise, approaches each of our Encinitas **rhinoplasty** procedures as a unique artistic endeavor. He understands that the nose is central to facial harmony and meticulously crafts results that enhance your natural beauty, ensuring a balanced and refined appearance that truly resonates with your inner self. Here, your journey is met with unparalleled care, expertise, and an impeccably personalized touch. #### Rhinoplasty at a Glance #### Redefining Your Facial Balance *About Rhinoplasty* Cosmetic nose surgery (*rhinoplasty* or a "*nose job*") is an aesthetic procedure performed to improve the look and shape of the nose. In addition, rhinoplasty can help correct the nose’s functionality in some patients. Encinitas, CA plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann is a seasoned *cosmetic facial plastic surgeon who offers rhinoplasty*, taking a subtle approach to produce the most beautiful and natural-looking outcomes. While cosmetic *rhinoplasty* consists of slight changes, results are usually beautiful and dramatic. With **rhinoplasty** Encinitas patients at Schoemann Plastic Surgery can make a nose look smaller or enhance a nose that is misshapen, protrudes out, is too large or wide, or has a bump on top. The goal is to produce a more aesthetically pleasing nose that meets your goals and functions as it should. #### Types of Rhinoplasty #### A Thoughtful Surgical Experience *Rhinoplasty Surgical Technique* **[.block] []** **Open Rhinoplasty: A Clear View for Precise Refinement** *Open Rhinoplasty* involves a tiny, discreet incision across the columella (the narrow strip of skin between your nostrils). This gentle lift provides Dr. Schoemann with a clear, direct view of your nasal structures, enabling the most intricate and precise reshaping of bone and cartilage for more complex or significant changes. While it creates a very small external incision, it typically heals beautifully and is often imperceptible, offering the highest level of surgical control for your most desired outcome. **[.block] []** **Closed Rhinoplasty: Seamless Subtlety, No Visible Incisions** *Closed Rhinoplasty* is a technique where all incisions are made *inside* your nostrils, meaning there are no external scars. This approach allows for subtle to moderate refinements of the nasal bridge and tip, often resulting in less swelling and a potentially quicker initial recovery. It's a wonderful option for those seeking discreet adjustments to their nasal contours, maintaining your natural beauty with truly seamless results. Nose reshaping surgery is performed with the patient under IV sedation or general anesthesia, and is considered an outpatient surgical procedure. Rhinoplasty has varying surgical rhinoplasty techniques depending on the unique cosmetic goals of the patient. Dr. Schoemann performs nose surgery with either a closed approach or an open method. The goal during surgery is to remove excess tissue and cartilage, or to improve and add cartilage if needed for reshaping. The nose is repositioned while the skin is reformed and draped over the newly enhanced framework. Sutures are placed either inside the nose or in the natural external crease. #### The Transformational Power of Rhinoplasty *What conditions does Rhinoplasty address?* *Rhinoplasty surgery* is an exceptional solution for resolving a wide array of aesthetic and sometimes functional concerns related to the nose. *Rhinoplasty proficiently addresses noses that appear too large or too small for the face, improves disproportionate width at the bridge or in the nostrils, and refines an undesirable nasal tip (whether it's bulbous, upturned, or drooping)*. The procedure can also correct visible humps or depressions on the bridge (nasal bone), resolve asymmetry, and even improve breathing difficulties by correcting structural defects within the nose. Ultimately, **rhinoplasty** enables individuals to achieve a more harmonious and self-assured facial profile. #### The Beauty of Balance *What are the benefits of Rhinoplasty?* Choosing **rhinoplasty** at Schoemann Plastic Surgery serving Encinitas and North County San Diego offers a wealth of compelling advantages for those seeking to refine their facial features and enhance their overall confidence: #### Treatment Aligned With Your Goals *Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Rhinoplasty?* Women and men both often choose to undergo **rhinoplasty** to bring their noses into balance with the rest of the face. If you’re displeased with the appearance of your nose, *rhinoplasty* by a skilled and reputable plastic surgeon can help you address your concerns and enhance your long-term confidence. As with any facial plastic surgery procedure, you should have realistic expectations for your treatment. For patients younger than 21, Dr. Schoemann will assess your facial structure to determine if growth is complete. #### Your Journey to Refinement *What to Expect: Rhinoplasty Recovery* After your *nose surgery*, we will monitor you closely in our recovery suite, and then release you to finish your recovery at home. You should expect significant swelling and bruising during the first week or two, but these minor side effects should be easily manageable with cold compresses and prescription pain medication. Dr. Schoemann will schedule a post-operative appointment within 48-72 hours of your surgery to assess your healing. Initial recovery typically takes about 2-4 weeks, during which time you should avoid strenuous activity. #### Unveiling Your Harmonious Profile *Rhinoplasty Results* **When Can I See My Refined Results?** Initial improvements in your nose's shape will be visible immediately after the splint is removed, though significant swelling will be present. The more refined contours and final results will gradually emerge over several months, as swelling completely subsides and the tissues settle, with subtle changes continuing for up to a year or more. **How Long Does Rhinoplasty Last?** The *results of rhinoplasty are considered permanent*, as the bone and cartilage reshaped during the procedure will maintain their new form. While natural aging will continue to affect your facial features over time, the fundamental changes made to your nose will endure, providing a lasting enhancement to your facial harmony. **What Will My Enhanced Profile Be Like?** Anticipate a nose that appears more balanced, proportionate, and harmoniously integrated with your unique facial features. The goal is a natural-looking refinement that avoids an "operated" appearance, enhancing your overall profile and *contributing to a significant boost in self-confidence and comfort in your own skin*. #### Striving For The Best Nose *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Rhinoplasty?* *Rhinoplasty* is a straightforward way to address any displeasure you may feel when viewing your facial profile. If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your nose or experience breathing issues, rhinoplasty may be a helpful solution. **Rhinoplasty** is a highly sought-after cosmetic treatment with high success rates. Under his holistic approach, Dr. Schoemann aims to reshape your nose so your whole face looks more proportionate and attractive. Even small tweaks can make a huge difference. Dr. Schoemann is happy to help patients rebalance their facial appearance through *rhinoplasty*.

This can lead to an aged or fatigued appearance that eye creams and noninvasive treatments can't correct. *Lower blepharoplasty is a highly refined eyelid surgery designed to reduce excess lower eyelid skin, reposition lower eyelid fat pads, and smooth the lid-cheek junction*. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, *double board-certified plastic surgeon* Dr. Mark Schoemann specializes in *lower eyelid blepharoplasty* using advanced techniques tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. At our office in Encinitas **lower blepharoplasty** smooths and sculpts this common problem area to impart a brighter, more refreshed appearance. Whether you’ve noticed a sunken tear trough, bulging fat, or excess skin, Dr. Schoemann’s approach to cosmetic *eyelid surgery* prioritizes precision, safety, and natural-looking results. #### Lower Blepharoplasty at a Glance #### Smooth and Refreshed *What is lower blepharoplasty?* *Lower blepharoplasty* is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of puffiness, bags, and loose skin in the under-eye area. In many cases, Dr. Schoemann can perform surgery using the transconjunctival approach, accessing the underlying tissues through the inside of the lower eyelid, meaning there are no external incisions. When external incisions are needed, Dr. Schoemann conceals them beneath the lash line where they heal to become virtually imperceptible. Surgical techniques can include removal of excess skin, muscle tightening, and fat repositioning to fill in hollow tear troughs. Patients experiencing lower eyelid laxity or tear trough deformity (a sunken appearance under the eyes) may be especially well-suited for this procedure. For more comprehensive rejuvenation, **lower blepharoplasty** can be performed alongside [upper blepharoplasty](/face/upper-blepharoplasty/) or a [brow lift](/face/brow-lift-encinitas-ca/) to address both the upper and lower eyelids. #### Patient Review [Read More Reviews](/testimonials/) #### Designed for Precision and Subtlety *What is the lower blepharoplasty procedure like?* **Lower blepharoplasty** is an outpatient procedure that is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Depending on your needs, Dr. Schoemann may make a transconjunctival incision within the lower lid to access and reposition the fat pads without external scars. If skin excision is necessary, a small incision is created beneath the lower lash line. For patients with *lower eyelid laxity*, techniques like lateral *canthopexy* may be used to tighten the outer corners of the lower eyelid. This highly specialized surgical procedure may also address deeper anatomical structures including the inferior oblique muscle and orbital septum. Dr. Schoemann’s meticulous technique helps reduce visible scarring and promotes a smooth, natural-looking outcome. #### From Puffiness to Sagging Skin *What conditions does lower blepharoplasty address?* With **lower blepharoplasty** Encinitas patients can treat several age-related and genetic conditions that affect the lower lids. By addressing both the fat and skin layers, this cosmetic procedure helps improve the appearance of tired, aged eyes with minimal downtime. - Bulging fat pads that create puffiness or bags - Excess lower eyelid skin and redundant skin - Tear trough deformity and deep hollows under the eyes - Fine lines and wrinkles in the lower eyelid skin - Sagging skin and lower eyelid laxity #### Look Awake, Feel Refreshed *What are the benefits of lower blepharoplasty?* **Lower blepharoplasty in Encinitas** provides both cosmetic and emotional benefits. Patients often report looking more rested and youthful, which can improve self-confidence and first impressions. The procedure removes excess fat and excess skin while *smoothing the lower eyelid margin and lid-cheek junction*, helping restore a balanced and harmonious appearance. While [dermal fillers](/injectables-fillers/dermal-fillers/) can offer temporary improvement, surgical removal of excess lower eyelid skin or repositioning of the fat pads yields long-lasting results. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Schoemann, this surgery delivers natural-looking enhancement without an overdone or “hollowed” look. #### Envision the Possibilities *Am I a candidate for lower blepharoplasty?* You may be a good candidate for *lower eyelid blepharoplasty* if you are bothered by puffy lower eyelids, sagging eyelid skin, or hollow under-eye areas that don’t respond to topical treatments. Ideal candidates are in good health, have no major eye disease, and have realistic expectations about the cosmetic results. Dr. Schoemann will review your medical history, eye health, and facial structure to determine if this surgical procedure is safe and appropriate for you. Certain conditions such as dry eyes, poor skin elasticity, or previous reconstructive surgery may be relative contraindications. During your consultation, we’ll also discuss any use of herbal supplements or medications that may affect the healing process, ensuring you are prepared to undergo the procedure with minimal risk. #### Full Support for Smooth Healing *Lower Blepharoplasty Recovery* After surgery, you’ll be monitored briefly in a recovery room before heading home. *Eyelid surgery* involves mild post-surgical discomfort that is typically well-managed with over-the-counter pain medicine. Cold compresses and prescribed eye drops will help reduce swelling and bruising. Patients should sleep with their head elevated and avoid strenuous activities or sun exposure during the initial recovery period. Absorbable sutures are typically used, and visible scars—if any—are minimal and tend to blend in very well over time. Most of our Encinitas **lower blepharoplasty** patients return to work or social activities within 7–10 days. #### See Yourself in a More Confident Light *Lower Blepharoplasty Results* Initial *improvements in the lower eyelids* become visible as swelling subsides, usually within 1–2 weeks. Final results can take a few months as the tissues fully settle. The under-eye area will appear smoother, firmer, and more youthful, with a dramatic reduction in dark circles, puffiness, and sagging. These results are typically long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare. **Lower blepharoplasty** can have a powerful impact on your overall appearance and confidence, helping your eyes look as vibrant as you feel. #### Precision, Artistry, and Personalization *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Lower Blepharoplasty?* *Choosing the right surgeon for lower blepharoplasty is essential*.

It is a convenient way for the long-term removal of hair on the face and body. This A *laser treatment* usually leaves the skin looking and feeling smoother and provides great, lasting results compared to other methods. Plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann and his team at Schoemann Plastic Surgery perform effective and safe **laser hair removal in Encinitas**. Women and men alike can benefit from treatment to areas like the arms, legs, back, face, chest, and intimate areas. #### Ideal Candidates *Hair removal* with a laser is a gentle treatment that is helpful for most people. At your consultation, you will discuss your needs, concerns, and goals to help determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Ideal patients for *laser hair removal* have unwanted hair on their face or body, are in good health overall, and are tired of other hair removal routines like shaving, waxing, depilatory creams, and bleaching. Another factor is the type of hair you have. Our Enicnitas **laser hair removal** tends to be most successful for patients with light skin and dark hair. If you are trying to eliminate lighter hair or have darker skin, you may have more success with other *hair removal* options. #### How Can We Help You? [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Procedure Technique At your procedure, you will relax in one of our treatment rooms as your skin is cleaned to remove dirt, oil, and creams. During **laser hair removal** Encinitas patients will have the skin smoothed out to provide a direct path between the hair follicle root and the laser. The energy from the laser will target and destroy the hair follicle, which prevents it from growing back. Typically, you will need 3 – 5 sessions over a period of 3 – 4 weeks to achieve optimal results. Your sessions will be spaced out in order to allow the treated areas time to recover. This also allows time for hair follicles that were in the dormant phase of growth to change to the active growth phase so they can be treated. The revolutionary laser technology we use at Schoemann Plastic Surgery targets the hair follicle alone, which preserves the skin in the treated area. #### What to Expect with Laser Hair Removal While this procedure is relatively gentle in nature, your skin may feel like it has a mild sunburn when lasers are used. After your treatment, you will be free to resume your daily activities, but you should refrain from strenuous activity or extended time outdoors for a period of 24 hours to let the treated areas heal. When you get home after your treatment, we recommend anti-inflammatory creams or cold packs to minimize any discomfort. #### Patient Reviews [Read More Reviews](/testimonials/) #### Rid Yourself of Razors If you’re tired of wasting energy, time, and money on bleaching, plucking, shaving, and waxing, schedule a consultation to hear more about *laser hair removal* treatments at Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA. **Laser hair removal** by a member of our team can help you achieve smoother skin by effectively targeting unwanted hair on the face and body.

Find out more about our Encinitas male blepharoplasty procedure. ### Content #### Male Blepharoplasty There are a number of ways for men to reverse the visible signs of aging and to achieve a more youthful appearance. One such option is **male blepharoplasty**, also known as the *eyelid lift*. We are proud to offer this service at Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA. Dr. Schoemann uses a holistic approach to plan the procedure and give you more comprehensively satisfactory results. #### Blepharoplasty Explained *What is Male Blepharoplasty?* As you get older, your eyelids tend to stretch. This causes the underlying muscles to weaken and may leave you with droopy, saggy skin either just above or just below your eyes. *Droopy eyelids* can make you look tired or haggard, older than you actually are. Blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure designed to address this problem. During our **male blepharoplasty** procedure, Dr. Schoemann may remove extra fat, muscle, and skin from around the eye. The goal is to tighten those droopy eyelids, which can create a subtle yet unmistakable change to your physical appearance. Not only can an *eyelid lift* help you look younger, but it may also improve your peripheral vision. #### What are the Key Benefits to Getting a Blepharoplasty? There are a number of reasons why men might consider getting an eyelid lift. For example, blepharoplasty may be a good solution if you find that your *saggy eyelids* make it impossible for you to open your eyes completely. Additionally, *blepharoplasty* can help your eyes to appear more alert. We also hear from men who are interested in removing the dark bags under their eyes, which cause them to look perpetually fatigued. An eyelid lift is a good way to accomplish this goal. Finally, our **male blepharoplasty** procedure can eliminate any excess skin that limits your peripheral vision, helping you to see more clearly. #### Am I a Candidate to Receive a Male Blepharoplasty?

In addition, extremely large breasts can create insecurity issues and embarrassment, as well as joint pain. Dr. Mark Schoemann is a double board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon in Encinitas, CA who has helped countless women regain their confidence and enjoy the life they want through cosmetic **breast reduction**. This plastic surgery at Schoemann Plastic Surgery reduces excess breast tissue and skin to transform the breasts into a smaller and healthier size for better comfort and health. It also reconstructs the size of the areolas and nipples and repositions them so they appear normal with the new breast size. In most cases, a breast lift is performed to provide a tighter and healthier appearance. #### Ideal Candidates If you suffer from heavy and *overly large breasts* that interfere with daily life, a *surgical breast reduction* may be a good option to achieve the body you want. This surgery is ideal for women who deal with frustration and worry or are not able to lead an active life because of the heaviness of their breasts.

Dr. Schoemann will work with you to understand your entire aesthetic goals and plan your Encinitas **breast reduction** that serves those holistic needs. #### How Can We Help You? [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Surgical Technique **Breast reduction** surgery is an outpatient procedure and is performed under general anesthesia. The time frame for the surgery is dependent upon many factors, including the incision type, the overall surgical technique, and finally, the amount of tissue removal needed. The nipple and areola repositioning is another factor. Typically, [liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/) is incorporated for tissue and fat reduction to decrease the breast size. At the time of the initial consult, all of these factors are addressed with Dr. Schoemann. The potential for scarring is also carefully discussed as it is to be expected with this procedure. However, modern methods have led to a significant decrease in overall scarring. Depending on the difficulty of the reduction, either an anchor or a vertical incision will be made. The breast tissue will be removed, and the surrounding tissue and skin will be pulled and lifted. #### What To Expect After surgery, our patients will be observed closely in our quiet recovery room and then sent home to heal. A thin tube for draining will most likely be placed near the surgical site to assist with bleeding. A medical sports bra will be worn for several days that will increase blood flow to the breasts during the initial healing period. Within about a month, the breasts will naturally fall into position and the post-op effects will dissipate. Most of our patients at Schoemann Plastic Surgery comment that they feel lighter and more confident.

For deeper or *potentially cancerous moles*, surgical excision may be recommended, which involves making a small incision to remove the mole and a thin margin of surrounding tissue before closing the site with fine sutures. The entire treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes, and you’ll be able to return home immediately afterward with simple aftercare instructions. #### Safety Is The Priority *Recovery and Aftercare* Healing from **mole removal** is straightforward. Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treated area. Keeping the site clean and covered as it heals helps prevent infection and minimize scarring. Dr. Schoemann may recommend applying an antibiotic ointment or light dressing for several days. You should avoid sun exposure and refrain from picking at any scabs or sutures while the wound heals. Most patients resume normal activities the same day, though full healing may take one to two weeks depending on the size and location of the mole. #### Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery?

Many times when a chin is recessed and sunken in, it can create an undefined profile. Both surgical and nonsurgical *chin augmentation* can be performed to improve the appearance of your chin, but one of the most popular procedures is placing a silicone implant to build a stronger jawline and a more defined profile. *Encinitas, CA plastic surgeon* Dr. Mark Schoemann offers several alternatives to consider for augmenting your chin. Aside from implants, which are manufactured in a number of sizes and shapes, nonsurgical procedures such as [injectable fillers](/injectables-fillers/) or [Kybella](/injectables-fillers/kybella/) can be used to help you reach your goals. For chins that are very large, *genioplasty* should be considered. This treatment at Schoemann Plastic Surgery shaves and removes bone to reshape your chin and jaw to a more appealing size. #### Ideal Candidates *Mentoplasty* is a procedure for both women and men. If you are displeased by the shape and appearance of your chin and dislike the weak profile it creates, this treatment can redefine the lower portion of your facial structure. It is also common for some of our patients to add a [rhinoplasty](/face/rhinoplasty-encinitas-ca/) with their Encinitas **chin augmentation** treatment. This combination of facial treatments offers the great opportunity for the features of your face to be proportionate and balanced. #### Surgical Technique During *chin enhancement surgery*, general anesthesia is used, or another form of anesthesia such as IV sedation in some cases, in order to help you be safe and comfortable during your procedure. An incision is made beneath your chin. Through this incision, a groove or pocket is created to secure the implant in place, which includes reducing some of the tissue, cartilage, and bone to make grooves to hold your implant in position. The implant is inserted through the incision and positioned over the bone, just below your bottom lip. In some cases, the incision can also be made inside the lower lip where it meets your gumline. Both types of incisions help to hide scars. Small stitches are used to close the incisions, and the bottom portion of your face will be wrapped with medical garments. #### What To Expect *Chin augmentation surgery* yields immediate gratifying outcomes, which is usually very thrilling for our clients. Although swelling and bruising will occur following your surgery, this will subside. For the majority of patients, *chin augmentation* typically requires a couple of weeks of recovery. Exercise should be avoided within this time frame. With a **chin augmentation** Encinitas patients get a very high success rate, and with the help of a fellowship-trained and *double board-certified plastic surgeon* like Dr. Schoemann, their outcome will look balanced and defined. #### Redefine Your Profile Chin reduction or augmentation surgery has proven to be extremely beneficial to many Encinitas, CA patients of plastic surgeon Dr. Schoemann. It creates a harmonious balance, redefining your facial appearance. If you feel displeased with the look of your chin and you believe it is too small or too large, **chin augmentation** can produce the look you are wanting. **A consultation with Dr. Schoemann will help you determine if chin augmentation can help you meet your aesthetic goals from a holistic perspective.

Get the details by scheduling a consultation from Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA. ### Content #### InstaLift® for Men As our bodies age, the skin loses its elasticity. This can sometimes result in wrinkles as well as loose, sagging skin along the face and neck. All of this conspires to make you look older than you are; and, while getting a facelift can reverse these aging effects, many men simply do not have the time for surgical intervention. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we have a solution called *InstaLift*. This is a non-surgical way to reposition skin along the cheeks, neck, and jowls, helping to reinvigorate your appearance without the need for extensive downtime. Schoemann Plastic Surgery includes **InstaLift for Men** as one of the many holistic aesthetic procedures we offer to our patients. #### InstaLift Explained With the **InstaLift for men**, dissolvable sutures are placed just below the skin where they physically elevate the deeper layers of the midface and the neck. These innovative sutures can reposition the skin along key areas of concern, including the cheeks, the jawline, and beyond. Generally speaking, two to four sutures are placed on either side of the effect. However, each procedure is individualized to address the patient’s specific needs and aesthetic goals. This is a simple procedure that we can perform in-office, providing many of the benefits of surgery without all of the complications. *Dr. Schoemann is pleased to provide InstaLift procedures to men throughout Encinitas, California*. #### The Benefits of Getting an InstaLift There are plenty of reasons *why men in the Encinitas area might wish to consider an InstaLift procedure*. - While the procedure provides benefits similar to a facelift, it does not require surgery and thus does not require a lengthy recovery time. - An InstaLift procedure can be performed very quickly; often, the entire procedure takes under an hour. - There is no anesthesia involved, and most patients say they feel little or no discomfort as the sutures are placed. - An InstaLift procedure allows you to address parts of your face that have troubled you, leading to a younger and fitter facial appearance. #### Should I Really Get an InstaLift? Is it Right for Me? The best way to determine whether an *InstaLift* is right for you is to come meet with Dr. Schoemann, where you can discuss your goals and also learn more about the procedure. Generally, Dr. Schoemann recommends our Encinitas **InstaLift for men** who are concerned with any of these issues: - Sagging skin in the mid-face area - Visible nasolabial folds - Preference for treatments that are non-surgical in nature - Desire to avoid anesthesia or extended downtime If you fit these categories and wish to learn more about gaining a more youthful facial appearance, we welcome you to contact our office in Encinitas, California at your convenience. #### How Does Silhouette InstaLift® Work? The sutures used in an InstaLift are made of poly-glycolic acid (PGA) and poly-L-lactic acid (PLA), which are essentially degradable sugars. These are commonly used in many skincare products. They also include a micro-suspension technology that helps *lift sagging skin*, repositioning the tissue before the sutures safely and naturally dissolve. #### The InstaLift Treatment Process *As you consider your options for InstaLift, it is only natural to have some questions about the process. Here is roughly what you can expect.* #### Other Things to Consider Before Getting an InstaLift *As you decide whether an InstaLift is the best procedure for you, here are a few additional factors that you may wish to keep in mind.* #### Reverse Signs of Aging with InstaLift at Schoemann Plastic Surgery Today! **For men who want to look and feel younger, without the need for surgery, InstaLift may be the way to go.

The **liquid facelift** process at Schoemann Plastic Surgery employs a specialized combination of wrinkle relaxers and fillers to return volume and smoothness to the face, helping you to look more youthful. The injectable fillers work by increasing the volume of the face while decreasing fine lines, and the wrinkle relaxers create overall smoothness. For drastic results, plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann can include other treatments such as *dermabrasion*, [chemical peels](/skin-treatments/chemical-peel-encinitas-ca/), [medical-grade facials](/skin-treatments/facial-encinitas-ca/), or [laser skin resurfacing](/laser-treatments/laser-skin-resurfacing-encinitas-ca/). For more information, contact our Encinitas, CA practice right away. Dr. Schoemann is a double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon with the experience and skill to create a unique treatment plan, which will help you reach your aesthetic goals while prioritizing patient safety and comfort. #### Ideal Candidates Those most qualified for the *liquid facelift* procedure are individuals who hope to decrease the signs of aging and add volume to the face without having to experience the recovery associated with a plastic surgery. It’s an exciting option for southern California patients hoping to fill in irregularities such as bumps and pits in the skin while restoring youth to the facial features. A **liquid facelift in Encinitas** at Schoemann Plastic Surgery can lift drooping eyelids, restore volume to hollow cheeks or temples, and remove dark circles and under eye bags. The procedure is also ideal for individuals seeking quick results. #### How Can We Help You? [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Procedure Technique Before the procedure, Dr. Schoemann will use your aesthetic goals to determine which combination of injectables should be used to achieve these results. The procedure technique for both the relaxers and fillers is the same, beginning with Dr. Schoemann distinguishing the sites where injections will take place. Next, your skin will be cleansed and a local anesthetic may be applied to injection sites. Using a fine needle and syringe, Dr. Schoemann will start injecting fillers and relaxers into the desired areas. The entire procedure is done in-office in a few minutes’ time. #### What to Expect The fillers and relaxers used in our Encinitas, CA facility are approved by the FDA and are considered safe to use. The effects of fillers are typically observed right away, while relaxers could take up to a week to produce optimal results. If you are also wanting to undergo additional cosmetic treatments, you may be advised to wait a few days after injections. The longevity of the results depends on the relaxers and fillers used in the procedure. Some products only last up to four months, while others can last much longer. For a **liquid facelift** Encinitas patients should come back to Schoemann Plastic Surgery for touch-ups in order to maintain results. #### Get The Results You Want The *liquid facelift* is an outstanding alternative to a surgical facelift and produces comparable results. Whether you desire more volume or want to create smoothness, our Encinitas **liquid facelift** may be the option for you. It can create a beautiful outcome without any of the downtime needed for a [surgical facelift](/face/facelift-encinitas-ca/). By combining fillers and relaxers, Dr. Schoemann is capable of customizing a procedure plan that fits the needs and wishes of each individual patient. **For more information, contact our Encinitas practice today to schedule a consultation and receive the results you deserve at **[**(760) 487-2520**](tel:(760) 487-2520)** or by filling out our **[**online form**](/contact/)**.** --- ## KYBELLA® **Link:** [KYBELLA®](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/injectables-fillers/kybella/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/injectables-fillers/kybella/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Dr. Schoemann is proud to offer Kybella nonsurgical injections for South CA area patients who would like to obtain a slimmer, more youthful neck. ### Content #### About Kybella Even a small amount of extra fat in the upper neck area may cause the appearance of a “*double chin*” that is bothersome to both men and women. The excess pockets of fat beneath the chin (aka the submental area) may be caused by aging, genetics, or weight fluctuations that lead to a weaker chin and jawbone for an undefined profile. *Encinitas, CA plastic surgeon* Dr. Mark Schoemann is pleased to offer a new method to eliminate neck fat at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), **Kybella** is the first nonsurgical procedure for submental fat. The active ingredient in *Kybella* is a manmade version of deoxycholic acid that acts like the natural DA in the body to break down and absorb fat. Once it’s injected below the chin, you may see a noticeable reduction in the volume of fat. When the fat is eliminated, the cells do not re-form, so you are able to enjoy your new, slimmer profile and clear jawline for years to come. Dr. Schoemann is a *board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon*, equipped to tailor and execute a customized treatment plan to help you meet your aesthetic goals. #### Ideal Candidates The ideal patients for **Kybella** treatments have additional fat in the upper neck (submental area) that causes unwanted fullness or a double chin. This injection addresses stubborn sections of fat that cannot be minimized with usual weight loss methods due to genetics, aging, or other conditions. If you are at or near a healthy weight, but diet and exercise have not worked to remove the fat in your neck, Kybella may be the right procedure for your needs. While *Kybella may correct small to moderate amounts of fat in the submental area*, larger amounts of fat may require surgical liposuction at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. #### Procedure Technique **Kybella** is completed during an in-office appointment. Dr. Schoemann will often apply a numbing cream to the treated area, if preferred, after the skin is cleansed. The procedure takes about 15 – 20 minutes, which includes multiple small injections targeting the submental area. Some patients may need one treatment to achieve their desired goal, while other patients may require several treatments spaced 3 – 4 weeks apart at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. #### What To Expect **Kybella** treatments do not require anesthesia, so you can leave the office as soon as you feel comfortable to resume your usual activities. You may experience temporary bruising, swelling, or numbness beneath your chin; however, this should not last longer than 2 – 3 days. Call Schoemann Plastic Surgery immediately if you are feeling any unusual side effects, like facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, or if your smile is uneven. While the fat cells that are destroyed do not return, the cells that remain can get larger, so you must maintain a steady weight after your *Kybella injections* to prevent new pockets of fat from forming. Optimal results following this treatment leave your neck looking tighter and sleeker and your profile will be more defined. #### Reduce Neck Fat Today Just because everyone else in your family tree has to conceal their hereditary double chin doesn’t mean you have to.

Dr. Schoemann offers male breast reduction to address the discomfort that comes with this medical condition. ### Content #### About Gynecomastia *Gynecomastia is the medical term for male breast enlargement*. It is a condition that can create a female-like chest due to abnormally growing breast tissue. In many cases, gynecomastia is caused by an underlying hormonal issue. This condition can also be caused by certain drugs, steroids, obesity, or genetics. Men with this issue typically feel frustrated and anxious, especially in circumstances where the upper body and chest are seen, such as by the pool or in the gym. Encinitas, CA plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann offers *male breast reduction surgery for men who have gynecomastia*. This surgical procedure has a very high success rate, and Dr. Schoemann performs the reduction surgery while prioritizing patient safety and comfort. It is considered one of the more popular cosmetic procedures for men at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. #### Gynecomastia Results #### Ideal Candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery Male breast reduction surgery is a procedure for men who have enlarged breasts that cannot be reduced with a healthy lifestyle or exercise and diet. If you are troubled by the appearance of your chest (but physically healthy), you may benefit from our Encinitas **gynecomastia surgery** by Dr. Schoemann at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. Teenagers may also benefit from *gynecomastia surgery*; however, a secondary procedure may be warranted later during adulthood if abnormal breast tissue continues to form. During your first appointment with Dr. Schoemann, treatment options will be given and may include the possibility of undergoing surgery to repair the condition. Dr. Schoemann takes a holistic approach that is designed to work with your health and aesthetic goals. This approach allows Dr. Schoemann to more successfully produce a result that best serves your needs. #### How Can We Help You? [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Surgical Technique [Liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/) is almost always utilized during *surgery for gynecomastia*. With the patient safely under general anesthesia, liposuction reduces excess pockets of fat from the chest wall. Next, any skin showing laxity will be removed to create a more tightened appearance, and then the areola and nipple will be placed into a proper position. In most cases, this method requires a small incision close to where the glandular tissue collects. Once the fat and loose skin have been removed, Dr. Schoemann will pull and tighten the remaining skin. #### What to Expect Following your **gynecomastia surgery** Encinitas patients will have their chest secured with a medical garment to help decrease bruising and swelling. In advanced cases where a reconstructive method was used, a drainage tube may be placed to assist with fluid. The results following *male breast reduction surgery* are immediately noticeable and most patients are extremely satisfied with the physical change. The incisions made during treatment take several weeks to heal and scarring is typically very limited. You will need to wait for permission from Dr. Schoemann to engage in exercise and strength training following your procedure, but both will help to complement and help maintain your results. #### Restore Your Masculine Chest If you suffer from the effects of gynecomastia, we welcome you to schedule a private consult with board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Schoemann to learn more about our male breast reduction surgery at Schoemann Plastic Surgery. After treatment for *male breast enlargement* (gynecomastia), you can stop covering up your chest at the gym and pool.

At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, every Encinitas **breast lift** procedure is approached with expert precision and genuine emotional care. Dr. Mark Schoemann, a *double board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon*, has years of experience restoring a youthful breast contour for patients experiencing changes due to aging, pregnancy, and weight changes, or significant weight loss. *Whether you're addressing sagging breasts, stretched breast skin, or loss of projection, you'll receive a surgical plan designed specifically around your needs, your lifestyle, and your goals*. #### Breast Lift Before & After #### Breast Lift at a Glance #### The Art of Renewal *What is a breast lift?* A surgical **breast lift** is a cosmetic treatment that lifts and tightens the breasts by reducing excess skin and pulling tight the healthy breast tissue to produce a firmer, younger appearance. This cosmetic breast surgery is offered for women who have lost breast fullness and shape and who have breast sagging due to aging and gravity, as well as weight loss or pregnancy. *Medical breakthroughs in breast lift surgery have made this aesthetic surgery so effective that new stats released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show around a 70% increase in demand since 2000*. Dr. Mark Schoemann, a double board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon in Encinitas, CA, offers this cosmetic breast surgery at Schoemann Plastic Surgery while prioritizing patient safety and comfort. By using the most advanced methods, Dr. Schoemann can tailor his technique to address the level of sag present as well as your desired aesthetic goal. [Breast Lift Gallery](/gallery/breast/breast-lift/) #### Experience, Precision, and Artistic Vision *What is the breast lift procedure like?* During your initial consultation, Dr. Schoemann discusses your aesthetic goals to conduct the **breast lift** under a holistic approach. The surgery is then planned around those goals to best encourage a result that fits your entire desired appearance. *Breast lift surgery* takes about 2 – 4 hours and is performed using general anesthesia. The timeframe of this surgery depends on the severity of breast sag. The method used for mastopexy surgery generally falls within two categories — these are based on the size, location, and nature of the incision. The anchor technique (inverted-T) and the vertical incisions are the preferred types. Once the incision is made, any loose, excess breast skin is carefully trimmed away along with breast tissue and fat that is not desired. The skin left behind is then pulled tight, and the breasts are brought up and lifted so they look younger and healthy. In many cases, the size and shape of the areola is reduced to match the new shape of the breast. It is during this time an implant will be inserted into the breast if this was agreed upon with Dr. Schoemann before surgery. *If a breast lift is the only technique being performed and if breast fullness and shape are a concern, breast implants can be done at a later date*. *Understanding Breast Lift Incision Patterns* #### Curves That Lead to Confidence *What conditions does a breast lift address?* With a **breast lift** Encinitas patients have an effective way to: - Correct sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or genetics - Lift nipples that fall below the breast crease or nipples point downward - Improve elongated breast shape and restore firmness - Remove excess skin and tighten the remaining skin for better contour - Address breast asymmetry or correct an uneven shape - Rejuvenate the chest after weight loss or breast reduction Each surgical procedure is customized to treat changes in your breast tissue and restore a more lifted, confident appearance. #### Firm, Sculpted, and Shapely *What are the benefits of a breast lift?* A **breast lift** offers more than just aesthetic improvement—it often leads to greater comfort, confidence, and body balance. Benefits include: - A firmer, more upright breast shape - Improved nipple position and areola size - Enhanced symmetry, especially if breasts have changed due to weight fluctuations - More comfort in clothing, bras, and swimwear - An option to combine with breast implants if increased breast size or volume is also desired Whether you choose a *lollipop lift*, *periareolar breast lift*, or another technique, your results are designed to feel natural and last. #### Is a breast lift right for you? *Ideal Breast Lift Candidates* Many women visit Schoemann Plastic Surgery hoping to get implants only; however, after a physical exam, you may realize that a mastopexy could provide a better outcome. This is because of the severity of breast sagging that is present. Women whose breasts and nipples point down typically need breast lift surgery to correct skin irregularities and raise the breasts higher up on the chest wall. If your nipples point downward and your breasts look elongated, a *mastopexy* (**breast lift**) can improve their appearance. Women considering a breast lift need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight. While implants may be wanted, in so many cases, a breast lift is all that is needed to add the fullness and shape that is desired. #### What to Expect After Surgery *Breast Lift Recovery* The overall recovery period for a mastopexy is more lengthy than breast augmentation surgery. After surgery, you will be fitted with a support bra to diminish swelling. A tiny tube will also be placed near the surgical area to assist with excess drainage that can sometimes occur after mastopexy treatment. The post-surgical swelling will decrease within about a week. Dr. Schoemann or a member of his team will provide specific, at-home incision care instructions to assist your healing process. Results following a **breast lift in Encinitas** are noticeable after several months as your newly shaped breasts take their new position on your chest. The breasts will appear natural, and you will feel perkier and healthier overall. #### Perky, Proportioned, and Made to Last *Breast Lift Results* Initial improvements from your *breast lift surgery* can be seen right away, though full results develop over several months as swelling resolves. Once healed, the more youthful breast contour is long-lasting, especially when supported by healthy habits and weight stability. While aging and gravity may continue to affect the body over time, most patients enjoy their **breast lift** results for many years before considering any revision. #### Skill You Can Trust, Care You Can Feel *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Your Breast Lift?* When considering *cosmetic surgery*, the skill of your surgeon and the care you receive matter deeply. Dr. Schoemann brings a rare combination of technical mastery and heartfelt compassion to every procedure performed.

At our office in Encinitas **dermal fillers** are an excellent way to smooth lines, restore lost volume, and rebalance your features without surgery or downtime. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we offer a curated selection of FDA-approved fillers, including [**JUVÉDERM**](/injectables-fillers/juvederm-encinitas-ca/)**®, **[**VOLUMA**](/injectables-fillers/voluma-encinitas-ca/)**®, **[**Restylane**](/injectables-fillers/restylane-encinitas-ca/)**®, **and** **[**Bellafill**](/injectables-fillers/bellafill-encinitas-ca/)**®**—each chosen for its safety, reliability, and natural-looking results. Whether you're addressing early volume loss or want to enhance your features with intention, fillers can be a light-touch way to look like you—just a little more refreshed. #### Dermal Fillers at a Glance #### Volume Where You Miss It Most *What are dermal fillers?* **Dermal fillers** are injectable gels that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance contour. Most are made with *hyaluronic acid (HA)*, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that attracts and retains moisture. Over time, our HA levels decrease—leading to hollowing, lines, and sagging. *Fillers can restore that youthful softness and structure by replenishing hyaluronic acid (HA) where it’s needed most*. Some products, like Bellafill, work differently—offering longer-lasting volume by stimulating collagen production in deeper layers of the skin. #### Targeted Touch-Ups *Types of Fillers Offered* We offer a carefully selected range of injectable fillers: #### Smooth It. Lift It. Define It. *What is the dermal filler procedure like?* Most filler sessions take 30 to 45 minutes and are performed right in our Encinitas office. After a personalized assessment, your provider will mark the areas to be treated, apply a numbing agent if needed, and perform a series of carefully placed injections. You may experience mild swelling or bruising afterward, but it usually resolves within a few days. Most patients go right back to work or daily activities immediately. #### Refined Volume *What conditions do dermal fillers address?* With **dermal fillers** Encinitas patients can address: - Smile lines and nasolabial folds - Marionette lines around the mouth - Hollow cheeks or under-eye volume loss - Thinning lips or lip asymmetry - Jawline definition - Chin projection - Volume loss in the hands **[.block] []** ** **Our team will guide you toward the best filler type and placement based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. #### Tailored, Not Trendy *What are the benefits of dermal fillers?* [.lead]*Dermal fillers are one of the most versatile non-surgical treatments in aesthetic medicine*.

Dr. Schoemann, a *double board-certified plastic surgeon* with extensive craniofacial fellowship training and over a decade of surgical expertise, approaches each Encinitas **brow lift** with an artist's precision and a profound sense of compassion. Excelling in *facial plastic surgery*, he understands that a sagging brow can convey an unintended expression – whether tired, angry, or worried – and meticulously works to restore a bright, open, and youthful appearance that truly reflects your inner vitality. Here, your journey is met with unparalleled care, expertise, and a truly personal touch. #### Brow Lift at a Glance #### About Brow Lift Surgery *What is a Brow Lift?* A surgical **brow lift** (also called a *browplasty* or *forehead lift*) is a popular cosmetic procedure that helps create a lifted brow appearance, which offers a younger look to the top section of the face. A droopy brow can sometimes create a tired or angry appearance. A brow lift surgically raises a sagging brow to give you a renewed face. A brow lift surgically raises the forehead skin to address a sagging brow and reveal a more youthful-looking face. Dr. Mark Schoemann is a *plastic surgeon in Encinitas, CA*, who has performed brow lifts on both women and men to create a younger look. While a browplasty focuses on the brow itself, it may also have an impact on the upper eyelid, Crow’s feet, and areas of the forehead. Wrinkle fillers and relaxers are often used in conjunction with *brow lift surgery* at Schoemann Plastic Surgery to achieve ideal results, creating a softer and smoother appearance. #### Surgical Technique *What is the Brow Lift procedure like?* [.lead]A **brow lift in Encinitas** restores youthful contours to the upper face by removing excess tissue to reduce wrinkles and eliminate the appearance of sagging skin. Prior to surgery, the patient will receive anesthesia. [] This can be done through general anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the extent of the surgery. The incision technique used during a *brow lift* is determined by the severity of sag, if the forehead is affected, and the position of the hairline. There are many approaches to consider: #### Impeccable Forehead Rejuvenation *What conditions does Brow Lift address?* With a **brow lift** Encinitas patients get an exceptionally effective solution for resolving several common aesthetic concerns related to the forehead and brow area. It proficiently addresses heavy or drooping eyebrows (*brow ptosis*) that may contribute to a perpetually tired or sad appearance, significantly reduces deep horizontal forehead creases that can make one look older, and effectively softens stubborn frown lines between the eyebrows that might convey anger or stress. This procedure ultimately revitalizes your upper face, allowing your true, vibrant expression to shine through. #### Enduring Confidence *What are the benefits of a Brow Lift?* Choosing a **brow lift** at Schoemann Plastic Surgery in North County San Diego offers a wealth of compelling advantages for those seeking to rejuvenate their facial expression and reclaim youthful vitality. #### Ideal Candidates *Am I a candidate for a Brow Lift?* As we get older, skin laxity reduces and causes many areas of the face to sag. This is especially critical in the upper face region and typically affects men and women. When looking in the mirror, do you appear tired or angry, or notice frown lines between the brows, or are bothered by a drooping brow? **Brow lift** surgery at Schoemann Plastic Surgery may be the right cosmetic treatment for your needs. The best way to know if *brow lifts* are right for you is to have a consultation with Dr. Schoemann. His holistic approach will help determine if a brow lift will best meet your needs or if a different surgical procedure will be more beneficial for you. #### What To Expect *Brow Lift Recovery* Recovery following **brow lift surgery** can vary, with the most discomfort and swelling occurring with the open technique versus the endoscopic or temporal approaches. Overall, there will be slight bruising and swelling in the upper face near the brows and possibly around the eyes. Cold compresses may help to decrease the swelling. Dr. Schoemann advises patients sleep upright for 3 – 4 nights following their surgery. It is important to avoid any movement or activities that may place stress on the face. The average recovery time from this procedure is about 2 – 3 weeks. #### Embrace a Brighter Look *Brow Lift Results* **[.block] []** **When Will I See My Refreshed Results?** The outcome can usually be seen immediately, resulting in a revived appearance that looks softer, more alert, and with a noticeable reduction in fine lines and sagging in the upper half of the face, though some swelling will be present. The more refined and final results will gradually emerge over several weeks to months as swelling subsides and tissues fully settle into their new, elevated position. **[.block] []** **How Long Does a Brow Lift Last?** *A brow lift provides exceptionally long-lasting improvements in brow position and forehead appearance*. While the natural aging process will continue, the effects of a **brow lift** are generally considered to be permanent, significantly slowing the return of sagging brows and deep lines for many years. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting your skin from sun exposure can help preserve your refreshed look. You can expect a forehead that appears smoother, with significantly reduced horizontal lines and softened frown creases. Your eyebrows will be gently elevated to a more youthful and alert position, resulting in eyes that look more open and an overall refreshed, rested, and naturally harmonious facial expression. #### Refresh Your Appearance *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for a Brow Lift?* Don’t let your sagging brow make you appear mad, sad, tired, or angry — schedule a consultation to learn more about a **brow lift** with *double board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon* Dr. Schoemann at Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas.

Even though childbirth is an exciting and amazing experience for a woman, it usually does alter the size and shape of various body parts — and can leave one feeling frustrated. The great news is that it’s possible to get a youthful, slimmer, tighter figure thanks to the help of a holistic **mommy makeover in Encinitas** from Schoemann Plastic Surgery. Though *the mommy makeover is typically a blend of liposuction and skin removal* to target both the upper body (arms and breasts) and lower body (such as the tummy), any area affected by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the birthing process can be corrected. In addition, nonsurgical procedures can be used to correct surface irregularities, such as hyperpigmentation and blotchy skin, from the quick fluctuation and stretching of the tissue and skin during pregnancy. #### Mommy Makeover at a Glance #### What is a mommy makeover? *Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover* [.lead]While having children is endlessly rewarding, it can also take a real physical toll. If you are a mom whose childbearing days are done, our Encinitas **mommy makeover** can help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure.[] The specific procedures included within a mommy makeover can vary from patient to patient; it really just depends on your needs, your goals, and your expectations. With that said, *most mommy makeover patients choose to have some combination of breast augmentation, a breast lift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck*. Dr. Schoemann uses a holistic approach to help determine the most effective combination of procedures to restore your pre-pregnancy self. Consider the potential benefits that each of these procedures might offer as part of your *mommy makeover*. #### Seamless Solutions Designed for You *What is the mommy makeover procedure like?* A mommy makeover is a highly customizable procedure performed under general anesthesia. It is designed to combine several cosmetic surgery procedures into one surgical session. Depending on your goals, Dr. Schoemann may perform a breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, or other body contouring techniques. With a **mommy makeover** Encinitas patients get a surgery that is tailored to address the physical effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding on a woman’s body. During the procedure, loose or excess skin may be removed, the abdominal muscles tightened, and stubborn fat deposits suctioned away. In breast surgery, options may include restoring breast volume with breast implants or reshaping sagging breasts through a breast lift. By performing multiple procedures at once, patients benefit from a more efficient recovery period and a comprehensive *return to their pre-pregnancy body*. #### Patient Reviews [Read More Reviews](/testimonials/) #### Because You Deserve to Feel Amazing *What conditions does a mommy makeover address?* A **mommy makeover** addresses a wide range of post-pregnancy changes that many women experience. These include deflated or sagging breasts, weakened abdominal muscles, loose skin around the midsection, and areas of excess fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. *This combination approach also helps correct changes in breast volume, shape, and position, along with skin laxity and stretch marks across the belly*. For moms who feel disconnected from their pre-baby body, this plastic surgery procedure can offer real, lasting improvements in both appearance and self-confidence. #### Targeting the Changes You Can’t Reverse on Your Own *What areas of the body can a mommy makeover address?* *A mommy makeover can target the breasts, abdomen, flanks, buttocks, thighs, and sometimes the arms*—virtually any area affected by pregnancy and weight fluctuations. Most **mommy makeover** procedures focus on breast enhancement and abdominal contouring for a balanced, full-body transformation. #### One Procedure, Full-Body Results *What are the benefits of a mommy makeover?* One of the great advantages of having a *mommy makeover* is that it allows you to combine multiple procedures into a single surgical experience. In other words, you will be put under, and then your surgeon can perform each of your chosen procedures on the same day. There are a number of benefits to this. By limiting your exposure to anesthesia, it can help you reduce surgical risk. Additionally, having all of your procedures done at once can limit your recovery time. And of course, only having to schedule a single surgery can be more convenient and less expensive. #### The Confidence You Deserve *Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover?* For so many new moms, surgery is necessary to *regain their pre-pregnancy shape*. Dr. Schoemann's goal is to help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure so you can resume life without worry. He will have a consultation with you to discuss your needs for safety and comfort to determine the right treatment plan for you. The right candidates for a **mommy makeover** procedure are individuals who: - Have completed pregnancy and childbirth - Have worked to attain a toned, slimmer appearance through diet and exercise with little result. - Are displeased with pregnancy side effects left behind, such as sagging breasts, loose abdominal skin, or unwanted fat in the lower back, flanks, and buttocks. #### Rest, Restore, Reveal *Mommy Makeover Recovery* The **mommy makeover** recovery process varies depending on the specific procedures performed, but most patients should plan for about a week of initial downtime, followed by several weeks of gradual healing. During the first few weeks, you'll need help around the house, especially if you have young children. Activities that strain the abdominal muscles or stretch the incision areas should be avoided to prevent complications. Wearing compression garments can minimize swelling and support your results. Most women can return to light activity within two weeks and resume more vigorous routines in four to six weeks. Dr. Schoemann and his team will guide you through every step, ensuring a safe and smooth recovery period tailored to your body and surgical plan. #### When You Shine, So Does Everyone Around You *Mommy Makeover Results* Visible changes from *mommy makeover surgery* begin to emerge in the first few weeks as swelling decreases and your body heals. Final results typically take shape within three to six months, depending on the extent of the procedures and your body’s natural healing process. Results from your Encinitas **mommy makeover** can be long-lasting, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. Although aging and gravity continue, many women enjoy their post-pregnancy transformation for years—with a more sculpted, balanced silhouette and enhanced body confidence. #### A Surgeon Who Listens, A Team That Delivers *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for a Mommy Makeover?* Instead of feeling embarrassed by your post-baby physique, we invite you to contact Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas to learn more about the *mommy makeover* procedure. *Lifeless breasts, wrinkles, and other skin irregularities can be fixed with this effective surgery*.

[Schedule Your Consultation ](/contact/) #### Mommy Makeover *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Renuvion **Link:** [Renuvion](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/skin-treatments/renuvion-encinitas-ca/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/skin-treatments/renuvion-encinitas-ca/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Tighten the jawline and body without the long scars of surgery in Encinitas. Dr. Schoemann uses Renuvion’s cold helium plasma for an instant subdermal snap. ### Content #### The End of "Good Enough" *About Renuvion at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* Traditional body contouring has a notorious blind spot. For years, the focus in San Diego was centered entirely on removing volume, leaving the skin to fend for itself once that fat was gone. This often resulted in a "deflated" look—a silhouette that was smaller, certainly, but lacked the tautness of a naturally firm contour. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas **Renuvion** is used as both the ultimate tightening touch-up for patients getting surgery and a great standalone option for those who prefer non-invasive alternatives. By delivering *cold plasma energy* beneath the surface, we can contract the tissue immediately following fat removal. This ensures the skin follows the new, slimmer lines of the body rather than hanging loosely over them. In our Encinitas office, this is how we move past the limitations of older techniques to create a profile that actually holds its shape. #### Renuvion At A Glance #### Beyond the Reach of Lasers *What is Renuvion?* *Renuvion is an FDA-cleared minimally invasive treatment that utilizes cold helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to instantly contract the tissue beneath the skin’s surface*. Delivering controlled heat directly to the fibro-septal network triggers immediate tightening and stimulates long-term collagen production for firmer, more rejuvenated skin. Your skin is like a tailored garment; surface treatments are like ironing the fabric to make it look better. **Renuvion** is like going inside the lining and shortening the threads. Dr. Schoemann uses a slim wand inserted through small entry points no larger than a freckle to deliver a precise stream of energy. The helium gas acts as a built-in thermostat, cooling the treated area instantly so we can apply enough heat to actually create tissue contraction without damaging the surrounding tissue. #### Tightening The Slack *What can Renuvion be used to treat?* *Renuvion is often referred to as J-Plasma* and is remarkably versatile because it can be applied to almost any area where loose skin is a concern. #### Natural-Looking Precision *What are the benefits of Renuvion?* The primary benefit of **Renuvion** is its ability to create tissue contraction that actually looks natural. - Instant Results: You can often see the "snap" happen in the room as the helium plasma and radiofrequency energy interact with the collagen fibers. - One Procedure: Unlike medspa lasers that require a series of 5 or 6 appointments, *Renuvion is typically a single-treatment solution*. - Collagen Production: Beyond the immediate tightening, the controlled heat triggers a radiant complexion of the skin that continues for months. #### For The Lighter Touch-Ups *Am I a candidate for Renuvion?* We're selective about who we treat with **Renuvion in Encinitas**. While it is an innovative treatment, it's not a cure-all for every sign of aging. *Renuvion is designed for mild to moderate skin concerns where the tissue still has some inherent elasticity*. We may recommend a different approach for patients who have too much excess skin. If you have an "apron" of skin on the abdomen or a high volume of unwanted fat, Renuvion won't provide the result you're looking for. For patients with severe sagging, a traditional tummy tuck surgery may be recommended, as surgery is the only way to safely and effectively remove large folds of skin. #### No Prep, No Worries *Your Renuvion Consultation and Preparation* Your personal consultation at our Encinitas office is where we map out how we'll reach your results. We look at the surface of your skin and assess the quality of your underlying tissue. If your goal is fat removal, we may discuss a combination of liposuction and **Renuvion**. Pairing these procedures allows us to slim the contour and tighten the skin in one procedure, making sure you don't end up with loose skin after the fat is gone. #### Radiofrequency + Helium Plasma = Tightened, Beautiful Skin *Your Renuvion Treatment* When you are in the room, the focus is entirely on patient comfort. We start by numbing the treatment area with a local anesthesia. Once you're comfortable, I insert the thin wand through tiny entry points. You won't feel the heat, but most patients describe a sensation of mild pressure or a light vibration as the device moves under the skin's surface. Because the helium gas cools the area at 1/100th of a second, the risk of thermal injury is incredibly low, making this one of the safest methods for *subdermal skin tightening* available today. #### Minimal Downtime, Maximum Benefits *Recovery and Aftercare* Recovery from **Renuvion** is significantly faster than traditional plastic surgery, but it does require a few days of downtime. - Days 1-3: Expect some minor swelling and a feeling of "tightness," similar to how you feel after a heavy workout. You will likely wear a light compression garment during this phase to support the tissue. - The "Monday Reveal": Most of our patients are back to their normal social schedule and "restaurant ready" by day 5. - The Provider's Notebook: I recommend starting a high-quality Arnica supplement 48 hours before your appointment. It helps the body process minor bruising much faster, cutting your social downtime in half. #### Youthful-Looking Skin *Renuvion Results* While you'll walk out of our office with a noticeable improvement to your skin, your results will actually get better over time. #### Investing in Rejuvenation *Cost of Renuvion* Pricing for **Renuvion** is not a flat rate. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, pricing reflects the customization required for your anatomy. The cost varies based on whether we are treating a single area, like the neck, or multiple zones, such as the full abdomen and flanks. It's also influenced by whether the treatment is performed in conjunction with liposuction. We offer financing through CareCredit and PatientFi to ensure this advanced technology is accessible. #### Expertise and Care *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Renuvion?* In Encinitas, the bar for "*skin tightening*" is unfortunately low. You can find radiofrequency devices in almost every neighborhood medspa, often operated by technicians who understand the machine but not your underlying anatomy. *Renuvion* was brought to ourEncinitas practice because as a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Schoemann recognized that true tissue contraction happens in the deep layers, not just on the surface. Dr. Schoemann chooses this specific technology over traditional RF-only devices because of the thermal logic of helium plasma. While older devices rely on high heat that can linger and potentially damage the skin, **Renuvion** uses a stream of cold helium to instantly neutralize the temperature. This allows me to use more aggressive energy to achieve a physical "snap" in the tissue while safely protecting your skin. We aren't just swiping a wand across your face; we're strategically targeting the fibro-septal network. #### Tightening and Brightening *Schedule Your Encinitas Renuvion Consultation* Schedule your *Renuvion* consultation with us for a quiet, one-on-one assessment of what is actually possible for your skin. We look at the health of your skin and the way it moves to decide whether **Renuvion in Encinitas** is the best tool for you, or we'll recommend something that fits you better. There's no pressure, only a clear, clinical evaluation of how to help you feel more comfortable in your own skin. At our Encinitas office is a short drive from the coast, designed to be a calm space where genuine questions get honest answers. #### Renuvion *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Breast Revision **Link:** [Breast Revision](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/breast/breast-revision-encinitas-ca/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/breast/breast-revision-encinitas-ca/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Our Encinitas breast revision surgery may be necessary if you're experiencing complications with your current implants or if you desire a change in size. Learn more here. ### Content #### From Discomfort to Confidence *Breast Revision at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* **Breast revision** surgery is a deeply personal decision, often made when results from a previous breast surgery no longer feel aligned with your goals, body, or comfort. Whether you're dealing with *implant rupture*, *capsular contracture*, or simply a desire to *change your implant size* or type, a carefully planned revision surgery can restore both confidence and symmetry. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in San Diego, Dr. Mark Schoemann, a board-certified plastic surgeon, brings extensive experience in both primary breast augmentation and complex *breast implant revision* procedures. With fellowship training and a background in reconstructive plastic surgery, Dr. Schoemann is uniquely qualified to correct complications, refine breast shape, or perform complete breast implant removal when needed—all with an emphasis on safety, artistry, and long-term satisfaction. #### Breast Revision at a Glance #### Elevating Breast Health and Aesthetics *What is breast revision?* [Breast augmentation](/landing/breast-augmentation/) is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the U.S., and for many patients, it delivers results that are both beautiful and natural-looking. Still, there are times when the outcome doesn’t align with a patient’s evolving goals or physical comfort, prompting the need for *breast revision surgery*. This doesn’t always mean something went wrong during the original procedure—revision surgery can be requested for a variety of reasons. Some individuals may wish to change their implant size or type, while others may experience complications that require correction or simply decide to remove their implants altogether. In certain cases, revision is also recommended to address specific medical concerns or changes in the breast tissue over time. San Diego-area plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann provides thorough consultations for a customized Encinitas **breast revision** surgery at Schoemann Plastic Surgery so that each patient’s desired outcome is achieved. His holistic approach to plastic surgery will help you have the ideal breast size through this treatment plan. #### What conditions can breast revision address? *Common Reasons for Revision* *Breast revision surgery is most often performed to remove or replace implants that are no longer desired or are causing an issue*. For some patients, it’s about adjusting the implant size or switching from silicone to saline or vice versa. In other cases, the need for revision arises from changes in the body, complications from the initial breast surgery, or cosmetic preferences that have evolved over time. Below are some of the most frequent reasons patients seek revision procedures. [Breast Revision Gallery](/gallery/breast/breast-revision/) #### Precision in Practice *What is the breast revision procedure like?* During *breast revision surgery*, the specific steps vary based on the reason for the revision and your personalized surgical plan. After you’re placed under general anesthesia, Dr. Schoemann begins by accessing the existing breast implants, typically through the original incision sites when possible to minimize additional scarring. From there, the implants may be removed, replaced, or repositioned depending on your goals. If you’re switching implant types or sizes, adjustments may be made to the *breast implant* pocket to support the new shape and placement. In cases involving complications like capsular contracture, hardened scar tissue is carefully excised to relieve tension and restore a more natural feel. If breast asymmetry, bottoming out, or rippling is present, the procedure may also involve internal sutures, reinforcement with an acellular dermal matrix, or a complete re-creation of the implant pocket. When undergoing a **breast revision** Encinitas patients sometimes also undergo a [breast lift](/breast/breast-lift-encinitas-ca/) at the same time to improve contours, especially if they are downsizing their implants or removing them altogether. Dr. Schoemann’s approach is highly individualized, with an emphasis on restoring breast balance, comfort, and long-term satisfaction. #### Patient Reviews "Simply the Best in the San Diego Area – La Jolla, CA – The entire staff at Schoemann Plastic Surgery is caring and kind.

Key benefits include: - Natural-looking results following unsatisfactory primary breast augmentation - Freedom to choose a different implant type or size or remove existing implants entirely - Correction of scar tissue, shifting, rippling, or implant rupture - Better balance with your current body form or aesthetic goals - Enhanced symmetry, comfort, and body alignment Whatever your reason for seeking **breast revision** surgery, the goal is always the same: restore your comfort and ensure your results truly reflect you. #### A New Beginning *Ideal Candidates for Breast Revision* You may be a candidate for **breast revision in Encinitas** if you’ve previously undergone breast augmentation and are now experiencing complications, discomfort, or dissatisfaction with your results. *Common concerns include implant rupture, capsular contracture, visible rippling, breast asymmetry, or a change in personal aesthetic preferences such as wanting a different implant size or type—or removing the implants altogether*. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of revision surgery. A consultation with Dr. Schoemann will help determine the best course of treatment based on your goals, anatomy, and the condition of your existing implants. #### How Can We Help You? [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Supporting Your Second Surgery Journey *Breast Revision Recovery* *Recovery time after breast revision surgery* depends on the complexity of your procedure. Simple implant exchanges or size adjustments often allow patients to return to light activity within one to two weeks, while more advanced techniques like acellular dermal matrix support or scar tissue removal may extend healing time. Dr. Schoemann will provide you with a detailed personalized plan, including incision care, application of ice packs to reduce swelling, and when to resume physical activity. Wearing your surgical bra, attending follow-ups, and avoiding strain in the early weeks of recovery are essential to achieving optimal results. #### A Silhouette You'll Love *Breast Revision Results* Most **breast revision** patients notice visible improvements within 6–8 weeks, with final results continuing to refine over the next few months.

Life changes like pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging often lead to loose skin, sagging tissue, and weakened abdominal muscles.[] *A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat, tightens the abdominal wall, and reshapes the midsection for a more toned appearance*. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in San Diego County, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann designs each Encinitas **tummy tuck** procedure based on your anatomy, skin elasticity, and goals. This highly customized surgical procedure may include techniques like a *mini tummy tuck*, *full tummy tuck*, or *extended tummy tuck*, helping you reclaim a firm, sculpted waistline and embrace lasting body confidence and comfort. #### Reclaim Your Waistline *What is a tummy tuck?* A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess abdominal skin, tightening underlying abdominal muscles, and contouring the lower abdomen. [Liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/) may be incorporated into the tummy tuck procedure to address stubborn pockets of fatty tissue. This procedure is often sought by patients after pregnancy or massive weight loss. In addition to restoring a smoother, flatter abdomen, **tummy tuck** surgery can improve your posture and core strength by reinforcing the abdominal muscles. *Patients may benefit from a mini tummy tuck for the lower abdomen, a full tummy tuck for broader reshaping, or an extended tummy tuck to address skin and fat around the flanks*. #### Tailored Techniques, Real Results *What is the tummy tuck procedure like?* With a **tummy tuck** Encinitas patients usually have it performed as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia.

Dr. Schoemann works with you to design a tummy tuck technique based on your anatomy and desired outcome. For those with extensive extra skin, a *full tummy tuck* includes an incision from hip bone to hip bone, typically hidden low near the pubic hairline. A *mini tummy tuck* targets the lower abdomen with a smaller incision. Each surgical procedure includes removing excess skin, tightening the abdominal wall, and removing excess fat for improved tone and definition. [Liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/) may also be used to reduce areas of stubborn fat. Dr. Schoemann uses advanced techniques to close the incision site, promoting optimal healing to keep the scar line as faint as possible. After a monitoring period in a recovery area, *tummy tuck patients return home the same day*. #### From Loose Skin to Core Repair *What conditions does a tummy tuck address?* - Hanging skin or sagging skin after significant weight loss - Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) post-pregnancy - Stubborn excess fat in the midsection - Stretch marks located below the belly button - Poor skin elasticity and weakened connective tissue - Bulging or undefined abdominal contour A **tummy tuck in Encinitas****** can effectively address: #### Feel Stronger, Stand Taller, Live Lighter *What are the benefits of a tummy tuck?* #### When Diet and Exercise Aren’t Enough *Am I a candidate for a tummy tuck?* You may be a strong candidate for abdominoplasty if you: - Are in good health with a stable weight - Struggle with excess skin and fat that won’t go away through exercise - Have abdominal skin laxity or weakened abdominal muscles - Are not planning future pregnancies (which can affect results) A consultation with Dr. Schoemann will help determine whether a **tummy tuck**, *liposuction*, or both would be best suited to your goals. #### Healing Smart *Tummy Tuck Recovery* After your **tummy tuck surgery**, you’ll wear an abdominal binder to control swelling and support the area. Walking upright will be difficult for a few days, but mobility improves quickly. Patients will need to avoid strenuous exercise until cleared by Dr. Schoemann. Most patients resume routine activities in about 2 weeks. During the healing process, some changes in skin sensation and swelling are normal. Proper aftercare will reduce the risk of poor wound healing or visible scarring. Dr. Schoemann will check your healing process at post-operative visits and remain a supportive partner throughout your *tummy tuck recovery*. #### Your Silhouette, Reimagined *Tummy Tuck Results* Tummy tuck results become noticeable as swelling decreases. Most patients see final outcomes between 3–6 months. Your new abdominal contour will appear smoother and more defined, and as long as you maintain a stable weight, you will enjoy your results for many years. While a **tummy tuck** scar will remain, it is discreetly placed and fades with time. Beyond the physical transformation, *many tummy tuck patients report a profound boost in confidence* and comfort in their everyday lives. Clothes often fit better, posture may improve due to core muscle support, and activities that once felt uncomfortable—such as exercise or wearing fitted clothing—become enjoyable again. For patients who’ve struggled with body image after pregnancy or weight loss, the procedure can help restore not just the abdominal shape, but also a sense of control, pride, and renewed ease in your own skin. #### Fellowship-Trained, Patient-Focused *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Your Tummy Tuck?* Whether you’ve experienced significant weight gain, pregnancy, or age-related changes, a **tummy tuck** (*abdominoplasty*) at Schoemann Plastic Surgery can help you reclaim your shape and self-assurance.

Read here to learn more. ### Content #### Your Path to Firmer Arms *Arm Lift at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, we understand how frustrating it can be when sagging skin on your upper arms doesn’t reflect your personal fitness or how you feel inside. An **arm lift**, also called a *brachioplasty*, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the underarm area—often referred to as "bat wings"—and restore a firmer, more contoured shape. *Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann brings advanced training and technical artistry to every arm lift, offering safe, natural-looking results*. Whether your concerns stem from significant weight loss, genetics, or changes as your body ages, your treatment will be customized for optimal results, delivering a smoother, more toned silhouette. #### Arm Lift at a Glance #### How Age and Weight Loss Change Your Arms *What is an arm lift?* As the skin loses elasticity with age or following weight loss, many people develop a sagging appearance along the upper arms that cannot be corrected through exercise alone. Our Encinitas **arm lift** surgery, also known as *brachioplasty*, targets this concern by removing excess skin, tightening underlying supportive tissue, and, in some cases, eliminating localized fat using [liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/). This procedure is particularly beneficial for healthy individuals who have worked hard to lose weight but are left with loose skin in the underarm region. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, every *arm lift* is approached with safety, balance, and artistry in mind to ensure results that align with your goals and enhance your confidence in sleeveless clothing. #### Goodbye, Loose Skin. *What is the arm lift procedure like?* *Brachioplasty is performed under general anesthesia and takes place in our accredited outpatient surgical facility*. The procedure involves removing extra skin and tightening underlying supportive tissue between the elbow and underarm area. If needed, [liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/) is used to address stubborn fat and reveal sleeker arm contours. Incisions are placed on the inner arm to reduce their visibility, though some scarring is expected. The exact incision pattern depends on your body’s needs and the amount of excess sagging skin being addressed. Following surgery, you’ll wear an elastic bandage and compression garment to support healing and minimize swelling. #### Beyond Aesthetics *What conditions does an arm lift address?* An **arm lift** is designed to treat a range of aesthetic and functional concerns, including: - Excess skin from the elbow to the underarm region caused by weight changes or aging - Sagging skin that creates the appearance of bat wings - Extra tissue that causes discomfort or limits clothing choices - Stubborn fat deposits in the upper arms that are unresponsive to workouts - Loss of tone and structure in the under portion of the upper arms By *removing excess skin and fat*, tightening tissue, and restoring balanced contours, brachioplasty offers dramatic and lasting improvements in your arms' shape and proportion. #### Why Patients Choose This Procedure *What are the benefits of an arm lift?* *Brachioplasty* is about more than aesthetics. Patients often gain enhanced comfort, confidence, and improved mobility. After an **arm lift** Encinitas patients may notice that clothing fits better and movement feels freer. The results are particularly rewarding when you've worked hard to achieve a stable weight and want your arms to reflect that effort. - Removes excess sagging skin and reshapes the upper arms - Reduces discomfort caused by extra tissue - Can enhance confidence in sleeveless clothing - Often combined with other procedures for full-body rejuvenation - Supports long-term satisfaction when paired with a healthy lifestyle #### Is Brachioplasty Right for You? *Am I a candidate for an arm lift?* You may be a strong candidate for **arm lift** surgery if you’re in good general health, have realistic expectations for your results, and are bothered by excess skin or a sagging appearance on your upper arms. Ideal patients are typically at or near their stable weight and do not smoke, as nicotine can impair healing. Whether your concerns stem from significant weight changes, the natural effects of aging, or hereditary laxity, *brachioplasty can help restore proportion and contour in the upper arms*. #### Full Support for a Smooth Recovery *Arm Lift Recovery* Most *brachioplasty* patients recover over the course of a few weeks, with the first two weeks focused on rest, limited arm movement, and elevation to minimize swelling. Wearing a compression garment or elastic bandage around the surgical area supports healing and improves results. Sutures are typically removed after about 10 days. While light walking is encouraged early on, more vigorous activity should be postponed for 4–5 weeks to avoid straining the healing incision site and underlying tissue. Dr. Schoemann will check your recovery progress at follow-up appointments and remain available throughout your recovery to offer extra support and guidance. #### Sculpted Confidence *Arm Lift Results* Visible improvements begin to emerge within a few weeks as bruising and swelling fade. Final outcomes are usually seen around the 8–12 week mark, with *your arm contours appearing firmer, smoother, and more sculpted*. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, stable weight, and good general fitness, results can be long-lasting. While aging continues, most patients enjoy their refined arm shape for many years with little to no additional intervention. Patients enjoy the freedom to bare their arms in sleeveless clothing, relief from discomfort caused by excess skin, and the satisfaction of a sculpted silhouette that reflects their healthy lifestyle. #### Excellence Without Compromise *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for an Arm Lift?* At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we are known for patient-centered care resulting in natural-looking, customized outcomes.

At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas **lip filler** treatments are offered to enhance natural beauty without looking overdone. *Double board-certified plastic surgeon* and expert in the aesthetic field, Dr. Mark Schoemann, and our team provide expert care in a welcoming environment that feels more like a coastal retreat than a medical office. Patients from San Diego and across North County trust us for safe, natural-looking results that fit seamlessly with their facial features. #### What is Lip Filler? *Lip filler, sometimes called lip augmentation, is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in today’s field of medicine*. It involves using dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body, to add volume, contour, and hydration to the lips. These dermal fillers are quick, effective treatments performed in the comfort of our Encinitas office. Using the latest techniques, fillers are carefully injected into the lips to smooth wrinkles, enhance lip shape, and restore a youthful appearance. Unlike surgery or implants, this treatment is minimally invasive and offers exceptional results without significant downtime. **Lip fillers** are also fully customizable. Seeking a subtle refresh or a more noticeable transformation? Dr. Schoemann and our team can create a personalized treatment plan to match your unique needs and goals. #### Lip Filler Benefits Getting **lip fillers in Encinitas** can make a subtle, yet dramatic difference, improving both appearance and confidence. Patients often find that *lip fillers* not only refresh their appearance but also boost self-confidence and overall well-being. - Restores volume for fuller, softer lips - Defines lip contour and improves symmetry - Smooths fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth - Creates better facial balance in harmony with your features - Hydrates lips from within for a healthier look - Non-surgical, quick treatment with minimal downtime - Results can be tailored to your desired level of enhancement #### Lip Filler Candidates *Lip filler is an excellent option for women and men seeking natural-looking enhancement without surgery*. Ideal candidates include patients who: - Have naturally thin lips or volume loss due to aging - Want to improve lip symmetry and contour - Are in good general health without major allergies to filler ingredients - Prefer a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime You may not be a good fit for **lip fillers** if you are pregnant, nursing, have certain health conditions, or have a history of allergic reactions to dermal filler components. During your consultation, your provider will carefully review your health and aesthetic goals to ensure safety and effectiveness. #### Consultation and Preparation Every treatment at Schoemann Plastic Surgery begins with a thorough consultation. This is your chance to share concerns, ask questions, and talk about the results you’d love to achieve. Dr. Schoemann and our team will examine your facial anatomy, skin tone, and lip structure before recommending a customized treatment plan. To prepare, patients may be asked to avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements to minimize bruising. Hydration and good skincare in the days leading up to treatment also help support a smooth recovery. #### Your Lip Filler Procedure For **lip filler** Encinitas patients will have the treatment performed in our office. The procedure usually takes less than an hour, making it one of the most convenient aesthetic treatments available. It's perfect for a lunch break refresh. A numbing agent or topical anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable. The [dermal filler](/injectables-fillers/dermal-fillers/) is then carefully injected using fine syringes, with precise placement designed to enhance lip shape, restore balance, and add volume where needed. Because Dr. Schoemann is an expert in facial anatomy, you can expect results that look natural and fit harmoniously with your features. This quick treatment fits easily into a busy lifestyle, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. #### Lip Filler Recovery and Aftercare Recovery is typically simple. Mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection site is common in the first 24–48 hours. *Cold compresses can help reduce discomfort*, and most patients find that any side effects subside quickly. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, or applying makeup directly to the lips for the first day or two. Our team will provide aftercare instructions to ensure the smoothest recovery and best possible outcome. #### Lip Filler Results *One of the biggest perks of lip filler is how quickly results appear*. Patients often see some improvement in volume right away, with lips looking fuller and more defined immediately after treatment. As swelling decreases, final results settle in within about a week. With proper care, **lip fillers** typically last 6–12 months before a touch-up is needed. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from sun damage, and following aftercare guidelines all help extend results. #### Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery?

* Sometimes aging presents as hollowed cheeks, deep folds, or lips that feel a little less full. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, we offer **facial fat transfer** as a natural way to restore volume and refresh your look. Dr. Mark Schoemann, a *double board-certified plastic surgeon*, uses your own fat to create results that feel soft, smooth, and uniquely yours. Patients from all over San Diego come here because they want expertise, comfort, and care that's personal. #### What is Facial Fat Transfer? At our office in Encinitas **facial fat transfer**, also called *facial fat grafting*, is a procedure that takes fat cells from one part of your body and carefully reintroduces them to areas of the face that have lost fullness. Think of it as borrowing a little from where you have extra (like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks) and sculpting it into the cheeks, lips, or under-eyes. *The fat grafting procedure starts with harvesting fat using gentle liposuction*. That fat is purified, removing excess fluid and dead cells, while leaving behind healthy, living fat and stem cells. These are placed in a syringe and injected into targeted treatment areas. This leaves you with a subtle lift, smoother skin texture, and natural-looking rejuvenation that comes from your own body. #### Facial Fat Transfer Benefits *
* With **Facial Fat Transfer** Encinitas patients love this treatment because it does more than add volume—It improves skin quality in ways fillers can’t. With stem cells in the harvested fat, patients often notice smoother texture and more radiant skin over time. Benefits include: - Adds volume to hollowed areas like the cheeks, lips, and under-eyes - Softens wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds - Improves skin quality and texture for a healthier glow - Uses your own fat—no implants, no synthetic fillers - Provides long-lasting results that blend seamlessly with your natural features - Offers an added benefit of light body contouring at the donor site (abdomen, thighs, or buttocks) #### Facial Fat Transfer Candidates Ideal candidates are men and women who want to restore volume, soften lines, and achieve facial rejuvenation without synthetic fillers. You’ll need enough fat in a donor site to work with, and overall good health is important for safety. During your consultation, Dr. Schoemann will review your concerns, treatment areas, and health history to make sure this procedure is a safe and effective choice for you. #### Your Facial Fat Transfer Procedure *
* The **facial fat transfer** procedure is performed in our AAAASF-accredited surgical center right here in Encinitas. First, Dr. Schoemann gently harvests fat from a donor site like the thighs, abdomen, or buttocks. The fat is then purified by removing excess fluid and dead cells and prepared for injection. Using a fine syringe, Dr. Schoemann injects the purified fat into targeted treatment areas such as the cheeks, lips, or under-eyes. Each injection is placed with artistry and care, sculpting smooth, balanced results. Depending on the extent of treatment, the procedure usually takes one to two hours. #### Facial Fat Transfer Recovery and Aftercare Recovery is typically straightforward. Expect some swelling, minor discomfort, and possible bruising in both the donor site and the treatment area. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling, and Dr. Schoemann may recommend over-the-counter or prescribed medication for comfort. Most patients return to light activity within a week. As tissues heal, avoid heavy exercise, sun exposure, and anything that might put pressure on the treated areas. Tiny [liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/) sites heal with minimal scarring when cared for properly. #### Facial Fat Transfer Results *
* You’ll notice improvement almost immediately, but final results take shape over several weeks as swelling subsides and the transferred fat integrates with existing tissues. Some fat is naturally reabsorbed, but the fat that “takes” establishes a blood supply and stays for the long term. *Results can last for years, offering soft, natural-looking volume and improved skin quality*. To protect your investment, maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid major weight fluctuations, and follow Dr. Schoemann’s aftercare recommendations. #### How Much Does Facial Fat Transfer Cost? *
* Because each procedure is customized, costs can vary. Pricing depends on the amount of fat harvested, the number of treatment areas, and whether you combine **facial fat transfer** with other procedures like a [facelift](/face/facelift-encinitas-ca/) or [eyelid surgery](/face/blepharoplasty-encinitas-ca/). Costs typically include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, facility charges, and post-operative care. At your consultation, you’ll receive a clear breakdown so you know exactly what to expect. #### Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery? *

Learn what it treats, expected recovery, results, and when liposuction or a neck lift (or both) makes sense. ### Content #### A Sharper Profile Starts Here *Double Chin Removal at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* We’re constantly seeing ourselves on video calls and high-resolution screens, it feels like the camera adds 10 pounds—especially to the profile. You’ve put in the effort, you’ve hit your fitness goals, yet that pocket of fullness under the chin remains. Honestly, it’s rarely about dieting. It’s often about genetics, inherited structure, or the kind of stubborn fat that just doesn't respond to exercise. For many, *this submental fullness softens the jawline and blurs the definition between the neck and chin, leaving you with a profile that feels heavier and older than you actually are*. Our goal at Schoemann Plastic Surgery is to restore that sharp, natural definition that feels authentic to your face with *submental liposuction*. Because the last thing anyone needs right now is another feature that looks done. #### The Art of Definition *What Is Double Chin Removal?* At our office in Encinitas **double chin removal** is a surgical procedure used to reduce excess fat beneath the chin and along the upper neck. In many patients, this is done with *submental liposuction*, also called *chin liposuction* or *neck liposuction*, to remove stubborn fat, refine the neck contour, and create better definition between the chin and neck. A *double chin* can develop from submental fat, fatty deposits in the neck area, reduced skin elasticity, the natural aging process, or a combination of factors. During your initial consultation, Dr. Schoemann looks closely at the chin area, the neck, the skin, and the underlying facial features to decide whether submental liposuction alone will create the right result or whether another treatment plan would serve you better. #### Double Chin Removal At A Glance #### Where Fullness Takes Hold *What Does Double Chin Removal Treat?* *Double chin removal in Encinitas* treats fat beneath the chin, submental fullness, and extra fat along the upper neck. It is especially helpful for many patients who feel that the chin and neck look heavier than the rest of the face. This treatment can address: - A visible double chin - Fat under the chin that does not improve with healthy eating - Neck fat or fullness along the upper neck area - A softer jawline caused by excess fat - A heavier profile caused by submental fat - Early fullness that makes the chin and neck blend together - Stubborn fat that remains even after reaching an ideal weight #### Shaping the Chin and Neck *What Areas Can Double Chin Removal Treat?* #### The Beauty of Definition *What Are the Benefits of Double Chin Removal?* With **double chin removal** Encinitas patients can create a cleaner contour through the lower face and neck. It reduces unwanted fat, restores better definition, and helps the profile look firmer and more balanced. Benefits may include: - Reduction of a visible double chin - Removal of targeted fat beneath the chin - A more sculpted neck contour - Better definition between the chin and neck - Long-lasting results in the treated area - A small incision placed in a discreet location - A shorter recovery period than a more extensive neck surgery - The option to combine treatment with a neck lift, chin implant, or other procedures #### Finding Your Right Fit *Who Is a Good Candidate for Double Chin Removal?* The best candidates have *excess fat beneath the chin*, fairly good skin elasticity, and a desire for more definition in the lower face and neck. Many patients are close to their ideal weight and want to address a pocket of stubborn fat that does not respond to healthy habits. [Meet Your Surgeon](/about/dr-schoemann/) A good consultation clears this up quickly. One patient needs *submental liposuction*. Another needs a [neck lift](/face/neck-lift-encinitas-ca/). A third benefits from combining neck liposuction with other procedures. #### Planning for Your Best Result *How Should I Prepare for Double Chin Removal?* - Schedule your initial consultation so Dr. Schoemann can examine the chin, neck, skin elasticity, and overall facial features. - Review your medical history, current medications, and supplements with our team. - Stop smoking and avoid nicotine before surgery as directed. - Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements when medically appropriate. - Arrange transportation home if your treatment plan includes sedation or general anesthesia. - Fill prescriptions ahead of time and prepare a comfortable recovery area at home. - Keep your schedule light for the first few days of the recovery period. #### Precision in Every Step *How Is Double Chin Removal Performed?* *Double chin removal is often performed as a submental liposuction or neck liposuction procedure*. The approach is focused and efficient, but the contouring work requires precision. The goal is a smooth result that fits the rest of the face. #### Healing With Intention *Recovery After Double Chin Removal* The recovery period is usually straightforward, but the treated area stays visible while it heals. Most patients feel better before the swelling has fully settled. #### A Note from Dr. Schoemann “The area beneath the chin tends to test people’s patience. It swells early, then tightens, then gradually softens into a cleaner contour. I tell patients to judge recovery in phases. This area changes steadily, and it almost always looks better at six weeks than it does at six days.” #### The Reveal Takes Shape *When Will I See Results From Double Chin Removal?* *Most patients notice early improvement once the initial swelling starts to fade*. The final contour develops gradually. That is especially true after submental liposuction, where the skin and soft tissue need time to settle against the new shape. Results timeline #### The Staying Power of Contouring *How Long Does Double Chin Removal Last?* At our office serving San Diego, **double chin removal** produces long-lasting results because the fat cells removed during surgery are gone from the treated area. Weight gain can still affect the body and neck over time, and the natural aging process will continue to affect the skin, but the targeted fat removed during the procedure does not return in the same way. Patients who maintain a stable weight and good overall health tend to keep their results the longest. [Kybella](/injectables-fillers/kybella/) contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps break down fat cells. It can be effective in selected patients, though many patients prefer surgical **double chin removal** when they want a more defined result in a shorter treatment sequence. #### Building a Smarter Plan *Can Double Chin Removal Be Combined With Other Procedures?* Yes! **Double chin removal** is often part of a broader treatment plan. #### Expertise That Shows *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for Double Chin Removal?* A strong result depends on judgment, technique, and restraint. The contour beneath the chin needs to look smooth from every angle and stay in proportion with the rest of the face. Dr. Mark Schoemann is a [double-board-certified plastic surgeon](/about/dr-schoemann/) with fellowship training and advanced experience in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery principles. He approaches **double chin removal in San Diego** with the same care he brings to more complex cosmetic procedures. That means studying the chin, neck, skin elasticity, and overall anatomy before recommending treatment. Patients in Encinitas choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery because the process feels personal and the recommendations feel honest. We take time to understand your aesthetic goals, explain whether *submental liposuction*, *neck lift surgery*, or other procedures make the most sense, and build a treatment plan around your face rather than a generic formula. #### Double Chin Removal *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## After Weight Loss Surgery **Link:** [After Weight Loss Surgery](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/body/after-weight-loss-surgery-encinitas-ca/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/body/after-weight-loss-surgery-encinitas-ca/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Dr. Schoemann proudly offers specialized body contouring procedures for southern CA area patients who have recently lost a large amount of weight. ### Content #### After Weight Loss Surgery If you have experienced significant weight loss, you are to be commended, having overcome a major hurdle in your life. The downside: while your new shape represents a huge accomplishment, you may now be faced with additional frustrations. This is due to the loose and wrinkly skin that remained on your body. *Significant weight loss* often leaves men and women with skin that cannot conform to their new, smaller size. Regardless of where the sagging skin resides, skin removal surgery is often needed to eliminate the issue. Double board-certified and fellowship-trained *plastic surgeon* Dr. Mark Schoemann offers **after weight loss surgery in Encinitas, CA** for men and women. This life-changing procedure can be performed at Schoemann Plastic Surgery Center while promoting your safety and comfort, serving as the final step in your weight loss journey. #### Ideal Candidates The ideal candidates for *skin removal and tightening surgery* are those who have excessive loose skin due to losing a significant amount of weight. In most cases, this issue is recognized early on as weight is lost. If *weight loss* has caused stretched skin, surgery at Schoemann Plastic Surgery can reduce the deformity and secure the remaining tissue for a healthy, tighter look. It is important that patients be near their goal weight before having this procedure. #### Surgical Technique *After weight loss surgery* is typically considered a major surgical procedure. It is performed using general anesthesia, in an accredited surgical facility and can last 3 – 7 hours, based on the number of cosmetic procedures needed. For most patients, an overnight stay is necessary. Liposuction is usually incorporated during surgery to remove areas where fat exists, followed by skin removal. With **after weight loss surgery** Encinitas patients should know that it requires larger incisions than other cosmetic surgeries, so scars will be associated with this treatment. During surgery, every attempt is made by Dr. Schoemann to create inconspicuous incisions. Dr. Schoemann or a member of his team will give you comprehensive *scar treatment* instructions for an effective outcome. #### What to Expect Once released from the hospital or surgical center, it is important to schedule enough time to recover at home. Tubes may be inserted near the incision sites to help control drainage, and medical garments should be worn to reduce swelling. For most patients, it takes roughly 2 – 4 weeks until you can resume regular activities but depending on the complexity of the surgery, it could take longer. Dr. Schoemann finds that most of his patients are fully recovered at around 4 – 6 months. Our Encinitas **after weight loss surgery** can be life-changing for patients, with noticeable outcomes that are immediate. Finally, you can wear the clothes you want and become more active without sagging skin getting in your way. #### Reach Your Goals Weight loss is such an outstanding achievement, and we congratulate you if you have met your weight loss goals. If sagging and wrinkly skin is a new frustration, Dr. Schoemann encourages you to learn about your options for cosmetic skin removal. *After weight loss surgery can further sculpt your physique and help you achieve and surpass each of the amazing body goals you set for yourself*. With a holistic approach to plastic surgery, Dr. Schoemann will work closely with you to make sure your **after weight loss surgery** meets your unique aesthetic goals.

The labia (the external lips of the vaginal area) may look larger or have loose skin caused by natural aging, pregnancy, childbirth, or a physical trauma. *Labiaplasty is a surgery that reduces the size of the labia minora, majora, or both for a more natural appearance*. This could minimize discomfort and irritation while boosting confidence and increasing sexual gratification. Schedule a consultation at Schoemann Plastic Surgery to learn more about the benefits of **labiaplasty in Encinitas** and to find out if you are a candidate. #### Ideal Candidates Dr. Schoemann conducts a consultation with every patient to see if a labiaplasty would meet both their aesthetic goals and their safety and comfort needs. Our Encinitas **labiaplasty** at Schoemann Plastic Surgery may be helpful for women who are *concerned about the shape or size of their vagina lips*, which can be abnormal due to genetics, childbirth, or trauma. Abnormal vaginal lips may cause pain, discomfort, itching, or irritation during physical activities like exercise and sex. A *labiaplasty* may also help if you don’t wear tight clothes (such as leggings, swimsuits, or tight pants) because of the size or shape of your vaginal area. While a labiaplasty should not affect pregnancy, Dr. Schoemann advises you wait until you are done having children to prolong your results. #### How Can We Help You? [Contact Us](/contact/) #### Surgical Technique Most cosmetic vaginal treatments are performed in our procedure room under local anesthesia, so you can drive yourself to and from your appointment. If the procedure is more extensive, you may require general anesthesia, which means you will need a responsible person to pick you up after your surgery. Dr. Schoemann will discuss these options and time estimates during your consultation, so you can make any needed arrangements before your procedure. With a **labiaplasty** Encinitas patients typically have it performed using a trimming technique to remove extra tissue, then the remaining skin is sutured together. Another technique is the wedge procedure, which removes a pie-shaped piece of tissue and extra folds from the clitoral hood before suturing the skin closed. #### What to Expect You should take about a week to recover after your *labiaplasty* to allow swelling and discomfort to abate before returning to work. Dr. Schoemann recommends applying ice packs or cold compresses as needed to minimize swelling. You should not use tampons or have sexual activity for 4 – 6 weeks after your procedure. Patients generally notice visible improvements in about six weeks, with final results about six months after surgery. The results of **labiaplasty** are usually long lasting, but childbirth, weight fluctuations, and natural aging may alter results. #### Comfortable and Confident Not every vagina is identical and a lot of variables can play into the appearance of your outer labia. *If you do not feel comfortable or confident because of the size and/or shape of your vaginal lips, ask us about labiaplasty*. Dr. Schoemann will use a holistic approach to plan out and conduct labiaplasty in accordance with your beauty goals. Schedule a consultation at Schoemann Plastic Surgery to speak candidly with Dr. Schoemann about your concerns and goals, so he can create your custom treatment plan for **labiaplasty**.

Pregnancy can stretch the skin and abdominal wall, significant weight loss can leave loose skin, and aging can slowly change the look and feel of your midsection. Even with healthy habits and regular exercise, these changes may remain. *A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, removes extra skin, repairs the abdominal wall if needed, and reshapes your midsection for a smoother, firmer look*. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, Dr. Mark Schoemann customizes each San Diego **tummy tuck** plan to fit your body, your proportions, and your personal goals. [Schedule Your Consultation](/consultation/) #### Tummy Tuck at a Glance - **Procedure**: Surgical body contouring - **Anesthesia**: General anesthesia - **Surgery**: Typically outpatient - **Options**: Mini, full, or extended tummy tuck - **Early recovery**: Most patients need about two weeks before returning to many routine activities - **Exercise**: Resumed gradually with Dr. Schoemann’s clearance - **Results**: Continue to improve as swelling settles over three to six months - **Longevity**: Long-lasting when you maintain a stable weight #### Feel More at Home in Your Shape *What Is a Tummy Tuck?* *A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery that removes extra skin from the abdomen and tightens the deeper tissues of the abdominal wall*. It is especially helpful when the issue is not just extra fat, but stretched skin or weak abdominal support that exercise alone cannot fix. Many people consider tummy tuck surgery after pregnancy. As the abdomen grows, the tissue between the main stomach muscles can stretch and separate. This is called *diastasis recti*, and it can make the stomach look rounded or stick out even after losing pregnancy weight. When needed, a *tummy tuck* can tighten the tissue over these separated muscles as part of the repair. Losing a lot of weight can cause a different issue. The weight is gone, but the skin may not shrink enough to fit your new shape. In this case, removing extra skin can help more than trying to lose more weight. A **tummy tuck in San Diego** is not meant for weight loss. It works best if you are already at or close to a steady weight and want to improve the shape and firmness of your abdomen. #### Understanding What’s Changed *What Does a Tummy Tuck Address?* People arrive at the same procedure for very different reasons. One person may have loose skin after having children, while another may have excess abdominal skin after major weight loss. Some patients are mainly bothered by a lower abdominal overhang. Others notice that the entire abdomen still pushes forward despite strengthening their core muscles. A **tummy tuck** may improve: - Loose or hanging abdominal skin - Excess skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss - A protruding belly related to abdominal wall laxity - Diastasis recti or muscle separation - Stretched skin and some stretch marks - A lower abdominal “pooch” or overhang - Localized excess fat when liposuction is included - Some contour changes associated with a previous C-section scar Stretch marks show why it is important to have realistic expectations. If stretch marks are on the skin that is removed, they may go away with it. However, stretch marks on skin above the treated area will still be there after surgery. #### The Right Fit for Your Body *Which Type of Tummy Tuck Is Right for Me?* Not everyone needs the same type of surgery. Dr. Schoemann checks where the loose skin is, how much skin and fat there are, the condition of your abdominal wall, and how your abdomen fits with your waist and hips before suggesting the best surgical approach. #### Tummy Tuck vs. Liposuction Liposuction removes stubborn fat. If your skin is firm and your main concern is extra fat, liposuction might be all you need. A **tummy tuck** is better if you have loose skin, extra tissue, or a weak abdominal wall. Many people have both issues. In these cases, liposuction can be done with a tummy tuck to remove extra fat around the abdomen, waist, or sides, while the *tummy tuck* focuses on the skin and deeper tissues. Many patients ask about this because both procedures can change the midsection, but they work in different ways. #### When Your Abdomen Doesn’t Bounce Back *Tummy Tuck After Pregnancy and C-Section* Pregnancy asks a lot of the abdominal wall. The skin stretches, the connective tissue expands, and the abdominal muscles may separate as the baby grows. Some of that change resolves naturally after delivery, but some of it doesn’t. This is why you might return to your pre-pregnancy weight, exercise often, and still have loose skin or a rounded lower abdomen. In this case, doing more crunches may not help. If stretched tissue or *diastasis recti* is causing the shape, the problem is structural. A previous C-section is also taken into account when planning surgery. Depending on where the scar sits and how much lower abdominal skin will be removed, it may be possible to incorporate the old scar into the *tummy tuck* incision. If you plan to have more children, Dr. Schoemann may suggest waiting. You can get pregnant after a **tummy tuck**, but another pregnancy can stretch your skin and abdominal wall again and affect your results. #### How We Reshape the Abdomen *What Happens During Tummy Tuck Surgery?* [.lead]*Tummy tuck surgery* is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure. The operation typically takes several hours, depending on how much correction is needed and whether *liposuction* is being performed at the same time.[] Dr. Schoemann places the incision low on the abdomen and lifts the abdominal skin so he can address the tissues underneath. If muscle separation is present, he repairs the abdominal wall to restore better support. Excess skin is removed, the remaining tissue is redraped, and stubborn pockets of fatty tissue may be treated with liposuction when it will improve the overall contour. With a **tummy tuck** San Diego patients should know that the belly button stays attached underneath while the surrounding skin moves. A new opening is created for it so it sits naturally within the flatter abdominal contour. Dr. Schoemann places the incision low on the abdomen and lifts the abdominal skin so he can address the tissues underneath. If muscle separation is present, he repairs the abdominal wall to restore better support. Excess skin is removed, the remaining tissue is redraped, and stubborn pockets of fatty tissue may be treated with liposuction when it will improve the overall contour. With a full tummy tuck, the belly button stays attached underneath while the surrounding skin moves. A new opening is created for it so it sits naturally within the flatter abdominal contour. #### Is This the Right Time? *Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?* Many people who get a **tummy tuck** already exercise, eat well, and keep a steady weight. The problem is that loose skin and stretched tissue do not always improve with these efforts. You may be a good candidate if you have extra abdominal skin, loose skin, weak abdominal support, or muscle separation and are healthy enough for surgery. It is also important to have realistic expectations about the scar, recovery, and what body contouring can do. If you’re still losing a lot of weight, it may be better to wait until you are closer to your ideal weight and can keep it steady. Gaining a lot of weight after surgery can stretch your tissues again and change your results. Your medical history is also important. Previous abdominal surgeries, medications, circulation issues, nicotine use, and other health factors should all be discussed before surgery. [Schedule Your Consultation](/consultation/) #### Giving Your Body Room to Heal *Tummy Tuck Recovery* *The first few days after a tummy tuck are usually the hardest*. Your abdomen may feel tight and sore, and swelling and bruising are normal. It may be hard to stand up straight at first, but most people start to feel better after the first one to three days. You will wear an abdominal binder or compression garment during the first part of healing to support your abdomen and help with swelling. Dr. Schoemann will also encourage you to walk gently. Moving around helps your circulation and lowers the risk of blood clots. Most people can start light daily activities in the first one to two weeks. If you have a desk job, you may return to work sooner than someone with a more physical job. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting usually need to wait about six weeks, depending on your recovery. You may have temporary numbness or changes in skin feeling, which can take several months to get better. During follow-up visits, Dr. Schoemann will check your healing and tell you when it is safe to do more activities. #### Watch Your New Contours Take Shape *Tummy Tuck Results* You will see that extra skin is gone right after surgery, but swelling means you will not see the final shape right away. As swelling goes down, your abdomen will look smoother and more defined. *Most people see their results improve over three to six months*. These results can last for many years. Keeping a steady weight, staying active, and living a healthy lifestyle help keep your new shape. Normal aging will still happen, but big weight changes or future pregnancies can stretch your skin and tissues again. #### Thoughtful Surgery, Personal Care *Why Choose Dr. Schoemann for Your Tummy Tuck in San Diego?* A good *tummy tuck* is about more than just removing extra skin. The incision, belly button, abdominal wall, waist, and nearby body contours all need to work together for a natural-looking result. Dr. Mark Schoemann is *double-board-certified in plastic surgery* and general surgery and completed advanced fellowship training in craniofacial surgery. He brings that detailed understanding of anatomy to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, along with a careful eye for proportion. Just as important, he takes time to listen. Your consultation is a chance to discuss what concerns you, what you hope surgery will change, and what kind of recovery works for your life. Dr. Schoemann will explain if a *mini tummy tuck*, *full tummy tuck*, *extended tummy tuck*, *liposuction*, or another option is best for you. #### Start With an Honest Assessment *Schedule Your Tummy Tuck Consultation* If you’re bothered by loose skin, a bulging lower abdomen, or changes after pregnancy or weight loss, a consultation can help you learn more. Dr. Schoemann can check your skin, fat, abdominal wall, and muscle separation and explain what a **tummy tuck** can realistically do for you. The goal is simple: to give you clear information, answer your questions, and create a surgical plan that fits your needs.

You may first notice a little extra skin beneath the chin, a softer jawline, or vertical bands that show more clearly when you speak or turn your head. Over time, those changes can make the lower face feel less defined. A **neck lift in San Diego** can smooth and reshape this area by addressing the skin, muscle, and fat that influence the contour. Dr. Mark Schoemann takes a careful, individualized approach at Schoemann Plastic Surgery, with the goal of creating a cleaner profile that still looks like you. #### What Is a Neck Lift? A **neck lift** is a surgical procedure that tightens underlying muscles, removes excess skin, and may reduce fat beneath the chin. *Neck lift surgery can improve sagging skin, vertical neck bands, a double chin, and poor jawline definition while preserving a natural relationship between the lower face and neck*. The exact technique varies because patients rarely age in the same way. One person may have hanging skin and muscle banding, while another may have stubborn fat deposits with fairly good skin elasticity. A one-on-one consultation allows Dr. Schoemann to identify the structures shaping your neck and recommend the appropriate treatment plan. #### Neck Lift at a Glance #### What the Neck Is Showing *What Concerns Can Neck Lift Surgery Address?* With our surgical **neck lift** San Diego patients can address visible signs of aging caused by loose skin, excess fat, and weakened or separated neck muscles. It may improve: - Sagging skin beneath the chin - A turkey neck or hanging skin - Vertical neck bands - Muscle banding through the front of the neck - A double chin caused by fat and loose tissue - Loss of jawline definition - A heavy or poorly defined neck contour - Excess fat beneath the chin - Jowling along the lower face - Changes following significant weight loss - A neck that appears to have aged faster than the rest of the face The aging process affects several layers at once. Neck skin gradually loses elasticity, fat can shift or accumulate, and the underlying muscles can separate. Treating the correct layer is what creates a refined neck contour. #### From Chin to Collarbone *What Areas Can a Neck Lift Improve?* #### Matching the Technique to You *Which Neck Lift Technique Do I Need?* Your technique should reflect your unique anatomy. Dr. Schoemann looks at neck skin, skin elasticity, fat distribution, muscle position, chin projection, and the relationship between the neck and jawline before recommending surgery. #### Changes You Can See *What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?* Our San Diego **neck lift** surgery can create a smoother and more defined relationship between the chin, jawline, and neck. The strongest results respect the patient’s facial structure rather than imposing an overly tight shape. Potential benefits include: - Removal of excess or hanging skin - Smoother vertical neck bands - Reduction of excess fat beneath the chin - Better jawline definition - A cleaner chin-to-neck angle - Improved facial balance - A natural contour at rest and in motion - Long-lasting rejuvenation of the lower face and neck - More complete correction than nonsurgical procedures can provide for advanced laxity For many patients, the change becomes clearest in ordinary moments: turning the head in conversation, catching a side profile in a window, or wearing an open collar without feeling drawn to the skin beneath the jaw. #### Is a Neck Lift Right for You? *Who Is a Good Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?* Good candidates are generally healthy adults with loose neck skin, vertical neck bands, excess fat, or a poorly defined jawline who understand the healing period and have realistic expectations. #### Finding the Right Procedure *Do I Need a Neck Lift, Neck Liposuction, or Chin Augmentation?* The right procedure depends on the physical cause of the concern. During your consultation, Dr. Schoemann will explain which layer is creating the heaviness or loss of definition. Many patients need one focused procedure. Others benefit from a combination that supports the overall facial harmony. #### Preparing for Surgery *How Should I Prepare for a Neck Lift?* - Schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Schoemann for a complete lower-face and neck evaluation. - Review your medical history, medications, supplements, allergies, and previous facial procedures. - Stop smoking and avoid all nicotine products as instructed. - Adjust blood-thinning medications only with approval from the prescribing clinician. - Complete any requested medical tests or surgical clearance. - Arrange transportation and support during early recovery. - Prepare button-front shirts and clothing that does not pull over the head. - Set up a sleeping area that keeps your head elevated. - Plan time away from exercise, work, and important social commitments. - Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure before and after surgery. [Meet Your Surgeon](/about/dr-schoemann/) #### What Happens in Surgery? *How Is a Neck Lift Performed?* A **neck lift** is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Incisions are placed around the ears and, when necessary, beneath the chin. Dr. Schoemann then addresses the specific layers contributing to your aesthetic concerns. - Surgical Marking: Dr. Schoemann marks the neck and lower face while you are upright so the plan reflects your natural posture. - Anesthesia: Most *full neck lifts* are performed under general anesthesia. Intravenous sedation or local anesthesia may be appropriate for a more limited procedure. - Incision Placement: A *traditional neck lift* incision usually follows the natural creases around the ears and may extend into the hairline. A small incision beneath the chin may provide access to central fat and muscle. - Fat Contouring: Neck liposuction or direct fat removal can reduce excess fat and improve the contour beneath the chin. - Muscle Tightening: The platysma and other deeper tissues are tightened or repositioned when muscle banding contributes to the neck shape. - Skin Redraping: Dr. Schoemann repositions the neck skin and removes excess skin with careful control of tension. - Contour Assessment: The chin, jawline, and neck are checked together to protect facial harmony and symmetry. - Closure and Recovery: Incisions are closed carefully, and a dressing or compression garment may be placed to control swelling. #### Give the Neck Time *Recovery After Neck Lift Surgery* Recovery from a **neck lift in San Diego** takes several weeks. Swelling and bruising are usually most visible during the first week, and most patients resume light activities within one to two weeks. The neck continues to soften and settle for several months. Sun protection is especially important in San Diego because ultraviolet exposure can darken healing incisions and affect scar maturation. #### Watching the Contour Emerge *When Will I See Neck Lift Results?* Initial improvement is often visible immediately after surgery, though swelling hides much of the final definition. A clearer jawline and smoother neck begin to appear during the first few weeks. Final results become apparent as the healing progresses over several months. Healing is rarely perfectly even. One side may soften faster, and the neck can feel unusually firm before the deeper tissues settle. #### Lasting Neck Rejuvenation *How Long Do Neck Lift Results Last?* *Neck lift results often remain visible for many years, and some patients enjoy improvement for a decade or longer*. Longevity varies with genetics, skin quality, weight changes, nicotine exposure, sun damage, and the natural aging process. A *neck lift* cannot stop aging. It creates a stronger starting point by repositioning deeper structures and removing loose skin. Stable weight, a healthy lifestyle, and consistent sun protection can help preserve the result. #### A Clear Look at Incisions *Scars After a Neck Lift* A traditional *neck lift* places incisions around the ears and may extend them into the hairline. Some patients also have a small incision beneath the chin. Dr. Schoemann plans these incisions around your anatomy, hairstyle, and the amount of skin correction required. Early scars may appear pink, raised, or firm. They gradually soften and fade as healing progresses. Incision lines may continue maturing for up to six months or longer. Protecting them from the sun helps prevent darkening. #### Completing the Facial Balance *Can a Neck Lift Be Combined With Other Facial Procedures?* Many patients pair **neck lift** surgery with other facial procedures to create better overall facial balance. The combination should remain focused enough to support safe surgery and a manageable recovery. #### Facial Expertise, Personal Care *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for a Neck Lift in San Diego?* Dr. Mark Schoemann is a *double-board-certified, craniofacial fellowship-trained plastic surgeon* with more than a decade of surgical experience. His training in plastic and reconstructive surgery provides a detailed understanding of facial structure, deeper tissues, and the relationship between the lower face, jawline, and neck. Patients throughout San Diego and North County choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for honest guidance and attentive care. Every surgical **neck lift** begins with a personal evaluation and a treatment plan shaped around the patient’s unique anatomy, goals, and recovery needs. #### Let’s Talk About Your Profile *Schedule Your Neck Lift Consultation* Loose skin, vertical bands, or a fading jawline can change how the whole lower face looks. A personal consultation with Dr. Schoemann gives you a clearer understanding of what is causing those changes and which surgical procedure can address them appropriately.

Encinitas plastic surgeon, Dr. Schoemann provides precision earlobe repair to fix torn, stretched, or gauged lobes with minimal scarring and a quick recovery. ### Content #### Your Jewelry Box Misses You *Earlobe Repair at Schoemann Plastic Surgery* For many women in San Diego, the decision to stop wearing earrings isn't about a change in style. It's a forced retirement of their favorite jewelry. Years of wearing heavy earrings or a sudden accidental snag can leave the *earlobe stretched, thin, or completely torn*. This creates inconvenience and a hit to your confidence when you begin choosing hairstyles that cover your ears or sticking to clip-on earrings that pinch. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we treat **earlobe repair in Encinitas** as a precision task rather than a minor fix. While the earlobe doesn't have the same level of complexity as a deep-plane facelift, the way it's re-seamed dictates how naturally it will hold a new piercing. We focus on restoring the natural shape and strength of the lobe so that your jewelry box is no longer off-limits. #### Earlobe Repair At A Glance #### What is Earlobe Repair? At our office serving San Diego and Encinitas **earlobe repair** is a straightforward surgical procedure designed to *correct torn earlobes* or stretched earlobes caused by heavy jewelry or trauma. By removing scar tissue and using internal sutures to realign the natural folds of the ear, Dr. Schoemann restores the lobe’s integrity and symmetry. #### Stability Over Camouflage *Earlobe Repair Benefits* The primary goal of this *cosmetic ear procedure* is to create a foundation that looks original to your anatomy. - Natural-Looking Results: We focus on the curve and thickness of the lobe to ensure a natural appearance when closing the gap. - Minimal Pain: Because the area is completely numbed, most patients feel nothing more than a slight tugging sensation. - New Piercing Potential: This functional restoration allows you to re-pierce the ear once the skin has fully healed. #### Finding The Perfect Match *Earlobe Repair Candidates* Ideal candidates for **earlobe repair** surgery are individuals who are bothered by the visible scarring or elongated shape of their piercings. I see a wide range of patients for this procedure. Some have a complete split from a child pulling on an earring. Others have *gauged earlobes* from their youth that no longer align with their current style. If the skin is healthy and you have realistic expectations about the small, faint scar that remains, you're likely a perfect fit for this repair. #### From Snags to Stretches *What Earlobe Repair Addresses* *Earlobe damage manifests in several ways, and each requires a specific surgical technique to ensure ears heal properly*. #### The Game Plan *Earlobe Repair Consultation and Prep* Your consultation is an important appointment that lets us look at the *symmetry between your two ears*. We will discuss with you exactly where the new seam will sit and how we will minimize visible scarring. If you have other aesthetic goals, such as a [facelift](/face/facelift-encinitas-ca/) or a [chemical peel](/skin-treatments/chemical-peel-encinitas-ca/), *earlobe repair* is a common add-on procedure. It's a small detail that, when corrected alongside larger surgeries, makes the overall rejuvenation look more complete. To prepare for **earlobe repair** Encinitas patients should stop taking blood-thinning medications and smoking at least two weeks before their appointment. While not a hard rule, we recommend coming with a clean, makeup-free face, as we may mess up your look when we go to sanitize and clean the ear area. We also recommend keeping your hair in an updo to allow the procedure to go as smooth and comfortable as possible. #### Fast, Focused, and Final *Earlobe Repair Procedure* The procedure typically takes less time than a standard dental cleaning. We start by numbing the earlobe area with a local anesthetic. Once you're comfortable, we make a small incision to clear away the hardened skin inside the tear. Using very fine, hair-thin sutures, we meticulously join the edges of the skin. We follow the natural folds of your ear to ensure the scar is tucked away as much as possible. You're awake and relaxed throughout the entire process, and you can drive yourself home immediately afterward. A Note from Dr. Schoemann: I’m frequently asked if we can just re-pierce the ear immediately after the repair. My answer is always a firm no. The healing tissue is like a wall that's just been plastered. If you try to hang a heavy mirror before the studs are secure and the surface is dry, the whole thing will eventually sag or fail. I insist on an eight-week waiting period because I want that seam to have its full structural strength before we ask it to support the weight of a diamond again. It’s a small exercise in patience that ensures you aren't back in my office for the same tear a year later. #### A Week of Lying Low *Earlobe Repair Recovery and Aftercare* Recovery is remarkably simple, and most patients return to work the following morning. - First Week: You will apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to the treated area twice a day. There may be some mild swelling, but it is rarely enough for others to notice. - Suture Removal: We see you back in our Encinitas office after seven days to remove the stitches. Do not try to wear earrings, even clip-ons, during the first few weeks after **earlobe repair**. The internal tissue needs time to gain strength before it can support the weight of jewelry. #### Reuniting With Your Earrings *Back to the Jewelry Box* You will see the new shape of your ear the moment the procedure is finished. But the true **earlobe repair** results are revealed once the redness of the scar fades. The scar will initially be a thin pink line. Over a few months, it typically fades to a faint white line that is difficult to see without close inspection. We generally recommend waiting at least six weeks before getting a new piercing. When you do, we advise placing the new hole slightly to the side of the scar tissue to ensure the lobe stays strong. #### A Small Price For Feeling Good *Earlobe Repair Cost* *Earlobe repair is an out-of-pocket cosmetic procedure, as it's rarely covered by insurance*. The cost is influenced by the extent of the damage. Repairing a gauged ear takes significantly more time and surgical planning than a simple tear. During your visit, we provide a clear quote that covers the surgical fee, local anesthesia, and all post-operative care instructions. #### Why Your Surgeon Matters *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery?* It's tempting to think of **earlobe repair** as a minor task that anyone with a needle and stitches can do. But board-certified plastic surgeons know that the earlobe is one of the most visible parts of the profile, and that if the edges are not aligned with sub-millimeter precision, you end up with a notched look at the bottom of the lobe that screams "surgery." We use the same meticulous suturing techniques on a *torn earlobe* that would be used on a facelift. We want the transition from one side of the tear to the other to be as invisible as possible. Our patients in Encinitas expect natural results, and that requires a surgeon’s hand, even for the smallest details. #### Let's Get Started *Schedule Your Encinitas Earlobe Repair Consultation With Dr. Schoemann Today* *Fixing a torn earlobe* is often about regaining a sense of normalcy in your daily routine. It's a subtle, straightforward correction that removes the need to hide your ears or skip the jewelry you love. Our Encinitas office provides a calm, professional environment where we can assess the damage and talk through the steps to fix it. There's no pressure, just an honest look at how to restore the symmetry of your ears. #### Earlobe Repair *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Mommy Makeover **Link:** [Mommy Makeover](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/body/mommy-makeover-san-diego-ca/) ([md](https://schoemannplasticsurgery.com/body/mommy-makeover-san-diego-ca/index.html.md)) **Type:** Service **Description:** Explore our San Diego mommy makeover, including recovery, candidacy, procedures, and how a customized plan can restore balance after pregnancy. ### Content #### Bringing the Whole Picture Back Into Focus *Mommy Makeover in San Diego at Schoemenn Plastic Surgery* Postpartum can bring a lot of emotions, and some of them stay with you longer than people expect. You can feel deeply grateful for what your body carried you through and still want to look better aesthetically. Those feelings can live side by side. For many women in San Diego, what they experience is not due to any lack of effort, but the simple reality that pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave behind physical changes in the breasts, abdomen, and waist that do not fully respond to time, diet, or exercise. A *mommy makeover* is designed for that kind of reset. Rather than treating one concern in isolation, it combines carefully selected surgical procedures to address the breasts, abdomen, and surrounding body contours within a single coordinated plan. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, Dr. Mark Schoemann approaches every San Diego **mommy makeover** surgery with a close eye for proportion, recovery planning, and natural-looking results that fit real life in San Diego. #### A More Complete Reset *What Is a Mommy Makeover?* *A mommy makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to address common post-pregnancy changes, often including breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction*. The procedure is tailored to the individual and can restore better shape, support, and definition across multiple areas in one personalized treatment plan. A **mommy makeover** is not one fixed cosmetic procedure. It is a flexible approach to body contouring built around your anatomy, your goals, and the way pregnancy changed your woman's body. For some patients, the priority is breast volume. For others, it is loose skin, excess abdominal skin, or stubborn fat deposits around the waist. Many women want a more complete plan because the breasts and torso no longer feel in balance. #### What Can Be Included *What Procedures Can Be Included in a Mommy Makeover?* A **mommy makeover in San Diego** can include several different procedures, and the right combination depends on what pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes are left behind. #### The Changes Women Notice Most *What Concerns Does a Mommy Makeover Treat?* With a **mommy makeover** San Diego patients can treat the physical changes pregnancy can leave behind when exercise and time are no longer enough. It can address: - Sagging breasts - Reduced breast volume - Breast asymmetry - Loose skin through the abdomen - Excess skin after childbirth or weight gain - Excess abdominal skin - Muscle laxity or separated muscles - A lower belly that still looks rounded - Stubborn fat in the waist or flanks - Stretch marks on skin that is also being excised during a tummy tuck - Body proportions that feel out of sync after pregnancy #### Where a Mommy Makeover Can Focus *What Areas Can a Mommy Makeover Treat?* #### What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover? *What Concerns Does a Mommy Makeover Treat?* A **mommy makeover** allows multiple changes to be addressed in one coordinated treatment plan. That creates a more complete result than correcting one area while leaving another untouched. Benefits may include: - Improvement in the breasts and abdomen at the same time - One main surgery and one streamlined recovery period - One anesthesia event under general anesthesia - Better body proportions - A flatter, firmer midsection - Lifted breast shape and restored volume - Reduction of stubborn fat - A result tailored to the patient rather than an average mommy makeover template - High satisfaction among many patients because the result feels more complete *Many women also report improved self-confidence and self-esteem after surgery*, especially when the result helps them feel more at home in their body again. #### Finding the Right Fit *Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?* The best candidate for our San Diego **Mommy Makeover** is someone in good overall health who wants correction in more than one area after pregnancy and has realistic expectations about surgery and recovery. #### When the Body Is Ready *When Is the Right Time for a Mommy Makeover?* Timing matters as much as procedure choice. Most candidates should wait at least six months after childbirth, and they should also be finished breastfeeding before surgery. Your body needs time to settle into its new baseline before a surgeon can plan accurately. The right time is also practical. A **mommy makeover** consultation should include a real conversation about recovery, support at home, and whether your current season of life can accommodate healing. If you still have a toddler who needs constant lifting, that matters. If school schedules, travel, or work demands make recovery difficult, that matters too. #### Before Surgery Day *How Should I Prepare for a Mommy Makeover?* - Schedule a personal consultation so [Dr. Schoemann](/about/dr-schoemann/) can evaluate your anatomy and discuss your goals. - Review your medical history, medications, and supplements in detail. - Stop smoking and avoid nicotine before surgery as directed. - Reach a stable weight and maintain it. - Finish breastfeeding and allow the breasts to settle. - Arrange help with children, meals, driving, and household tasks. - Prepare support bras, compression garments, loose clothing, and a comfortable recovery space. - Go into surgery with realistic expectations and a clear recovery plan. #### How It All Comes Together *How Is a Mommy Makeover Performed?* A **mommy makeover** is performed as one coordinated surgery, but the order depends on the specific procedures in your plan. - Pre-op Planning and Marking: Dr. Schoemann maps the breasts, abdomen, and any contouring areas while you are standing. - Anesthesia: Most mommy makeover procedures are performed under general anesthesia. - Breast Procedure: This may include breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, or a combined breast approach. - Abdominal Procedure: If a tummy tuck is included, this is when excess skin and muscle repair are performed. - Liposuction and Contouring: Liposuction may then reduce excess fat and refine the waist or flanks. - Closure and Garments: Incisions are closed carefully, and support garments are placed to help with the early healing process. Advanced planning matters here. *The best mommy makeover results come from choosing the right procedures, sequencing them thoughtfully, and building a personalized treatment plan that fits the patient rather than a generic formula*. #### Healing Through the Reset *Mommy Makeover Recovery* **Mommy makeover** recovery involves significant swelling, soreness, and temporary limits on lifting and activity. Most patients need two to three weeks off work, and most normal activities resume at about six weeks, depending on the procedures performed. #### When the Changes Start Showing *When Will I See Results From a Mommy Makeover?* Early improvement is visible within weeks, but **mommy makeover** results develop in stages. The breasts and abdomen do not settle at the exact same pace, so patience matters. Results can include firmer, tighter, and lifted body contours. For most patients, the final result feels worth the slower middle phase. #### Thoughtful Surgery, Personal Care *Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for a Mommy Makeover in San Diego?* Dr. Mark Schoemann is a *board-certified plastic surgeon* who brings a thoughtful, highly personalized approach to combination surgery.

You can be eating well, exercising consistently, and maintaining a stable weight, yet your waist still looks softer than you want, your flanks still hold fullness, or your lower back keeps your entire silhouette from feeling as defined as it should. The reason is often structural, not effort-based. The waist is not one small area. It is a continuous line that runs from the abdomen through the flanks and into the back, and it looks best when those transitions are treated as a single connected area. Our Encinitas **Lipo 360** procedure is designed for that kind of contouring. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, Dr. Mark Schoemann uses this circumferential approach to create a more balanced, natural-looking shape through the full midsection rather than treating one section in isolation. #### What Is 360 Liposuction? *360 liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the torso in a circumferential pattern*. You may also hear it called circumferential liposuction, **Lipo 360**, or a comprehensive body contouring procedure. It’s used to treat the abdomen, waist, love handles, and lower back in a single session, creating a more defined shape and a more complete body contour than traditional liposuction alone. The concept is simple: the waist does not stop at the front of the body. For many patients, the best result comes from treating the torso as one connected structure rather than focusing on a single pocket of fat. #### 360 Liposuction At A Glance #### What Makes 360 Liposuction Different From Traditional Liposuction? The key differences come down to scope and shape. Traditional liposuction or lipo tends to focus on one or two specific areas. **Lipo 360 in Encinitas** is a more comprehensive procedure that treats the midsection all the way around. #### What Concerns Does 360 Liposuction Treat? With **Lipo 360** Encinitas patients can treat unwanted fat around the torso. It is especially helpful for patients who feel like the midsection looks heavier from the side or back than it does from the front. This procedure can address: - Stubborn belly fat - Fullness in the abdomen - Fullness through the waist and love handles - Lower back fullness that blurs the waistline - A boxy body shape through the middle - Fat that lingers despite a healthy lifestyle - Excess fat in multiple areas of the torso - Uneven contour between the front, sides, and back - Residual fullness after weight loss when skin quality is still fairly good For the right patient, the procedure works because it creates continuity. The waist comes together as one shape again. #### What Areas Can 360 Liposuction Treat? #### What Are the Benefits of 360 Liposuction? **Lipo 360** creates a more sculpted outline through the middle of the body by improving how the front, sides, and back relate to one another. Benefits include: - More complete fat removal around the torso - A slimmer, more defined waistline - Better contour through the abdomen and lower back - Smoother transitions between treated areas - A more balanced appearance from every angle - Targeted fat reduction in multiple areas during one session - A single recovery period instead of multiple treatments in some cases - Long-lasting improvement when paired with stable weight and a healthy lifestyle - A result that looks natural rather than abruptly overdone #### Who Is a Good Candidate for 360 Liposuction? A good candidate for **Lipo 360** is someone in good health who wants body contouring rather than weight-loss surgery. The best results usually come in patients with good skin elasticity, stable weight, and excess fat concentrated around the torso. Many patients ask the same question: “Do I need liposuction or a tummy tuck?” The answer depends on whether the problem is mostly fat, mostly skin, or a combination of both. #### When Is a Tummy Tuck Better Than 360 Liposuction? *360 liposuction removes fat*. A [tummy tuck](/body/tummy-tuck-encinitas-ca/) removes excess skin and can tighten the abdominal wall. Those are two different surgeries with different goals. Some patients need **Lipo 360** alone. Some need a tummy tuck. Some benefit from combining procedures for optimal results. *A Note from Dr. Schoemann* *“When I perform 360 liposuction, I am looking for a clean transition all the way around the torso. The front of the abdomen cannot be treated in isolation. The waist has to connect to the flanks, and the flanks have to connect to the lower back. That is what gives the result its polish.”* #### Compression Garments After 360 Liposuction Compression is an important part of the process. Most patients wear a compression garment consistently during the first few weeks because it supports the tissues and helps control swelling. A few practical details help: - The garment should feel supportive, not painfully tight - Loose clothing makes daily life easier early on - It helps to have a second garment available - The treated areas may feel firm or uneven before they soften - Consistency matters if you want optimal results #### Recovery After 360 Liposuction Recovery after 360 liposuction includes soreness, swelling, bruising, tightness, and patience. Most patients feel better before they look fully settled. #### When Will I See Results From 360 Liposuction? Most patients see an early shape change within a few weeks, but the final contour takes longer. Swelling is part of the process, and it can mask definition at first. #### How Long Do Results Last? The fat cells removed during [liposuction](/body/liposuction-encinitas-ca/) are gone permanently. Remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain, which is why long-term results depend on weight stability and a healthy lifestyle. For most patients, results last well when the procedure is paired with good habits and realistic expectations. #### Scars After 360 Liposuction **Lipo 360** uses small incisions, and those incisions are placed strategically to stay as discreet as possible. Early on, they may appear pink or slightly firm. With time, they usually fade well. Scar quality varies based on healing, skin type, and aftercare. We review incision placement before surgery so patients know what to expect. #### 360 Liposuction vs. Other Options **Lipo 360** is one of several ways to reshape the torso. The right choice depends on the body, the skin, and the aesthetic goals. #### Can 360 Liposuction Be Combined With Other Procedures? Yes. For some patients, combination surgery creates the best overall result. 360 Liposuction + Tummy Tuck A strong option when both excess fat and excess skin are present. 360 Liposuction + Breast Augmentation This can be part of a broader body contouring plan for patients who want *upper- and lower-body refinement in one recovery period*. 360 Liposuction + Brazilian Butt Lift When appropriate, fat removed during liposuction may be used to add shape to the buttocks as part of a *Brazilian butt lift* strategy. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, combination planning is always anatomy-driven. We only combine procedures when it makes sense for that patient. The goal is to build a treatment plan that makes sense for the body as a whole. #### Why Choose Schoemann Plastic Surgery for 360 Liposuction?
