Facial Procedures
Dr. Ferguson’s foundation in head and neck surgery gives him a structural understanding of facial anatomy that few cosmetic surgeons possess. This training informs every facial procedure he performs, producing results that are both aesthetically refined and anatomically sound.
Facelift / RapidLift — Dr. Ferguson performs facelift surgery using advanced deep-plane and SMAS techniques that reposition underlying facial structures rather than simply pulling skin, producing longer-lasting, more natural results. His RapidLift technique offers a modified short-scar approach for patients with mild to moderate facial laxity.
Rhinoplasty — As a board-certified otolaryngologist and facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Ferguson approaches rhinoplasty from both functional and cosmetic perspectives. Whether your concern is aesthetic refinement, breathing improvement, or both, his dual expertise ensures a nose that looks natural and works properly.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) — Upper and lower blepharoplasty to correct drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and the tired appearance caused by excess skin and fat around the eyes. Dr. Ferguson’s facial surgical training ensures preservation of natural eyelid function and expression.
Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) — Endoscopic and direct brow lift techniques to elevate drooping brows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and restore a refreshed, alert upper face appearance. Dr. Ferguson frequently combines brow lift with blepharoplasty for comprehensive upper face rejuvenation.
Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) — Ear reshaping and pinning for adults and children with prominent or asymmetric ears. Dr. Ferguson’s primary training in otolaryngology makes him uniquely qualified for this procedure.
Breast Procedures
Dr. Ferguson’s certification by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, the only board dedicated exclusively to cosmetic surgery across the entire body, ensures that his breast procedures are informed by comprehensive aesthetic expertise and a deep understanding of surgical technique.
Breast Augmentation — Silicone, saline, and cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) implants with dual-plane placement techniques refined over decades of experience. Dr. Ferguson’s dimension-based approach to implant selection produces proportionate, natural-looking enhancement.
Mommy Makeover — A customized combination of procedures, typically breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction, designed to restore the pre-pregnancy body in a single surgical session. Dr. Ferguson tailors every mommy makeover to the individual patient’s anatomy and goals.
Body Contouring
Whether you are seeking to sculpt stubborn areas that resist diet and exercise or address excess skin following significant weight loss, Dr. Ferguson’s body contouring procedures produce proportionate, natural results.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) — Full and mini abdominoplasty to remove excess skin, repair separated abdominal muscles, and create a flatter, firmer midsection. Dr. Ferguson’s technique addresses both skin excess and the underlying muscular laxity that no amount of exercise can correct.
Liposuction / SmartLipo — Advanced laser-assisted liposuction for precise body contouring with enhanced skin tightening. Dr. Ferguson is board-certified by the American Board of Laser Surgery, ensuring his laser liposuction is grounded in formal expertise in laser physics and tissue interaction.
Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) — Removal of excess skin and fat from the upper arms to eliminate sagging “bat wings” and create a smoother, more toned arm contour. Particularly effective for patients following significant weight loss.
Thighplasty (Thigh Lift) — Inner and outer thigh contouring through surgical removal of excess skin and fat. Dr. Ferguson strategically places incisions to minimize visibility while achieving dramatic improvement in thigh shape and proportion.
Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction) — Liposuction, direct excision, or combined techniques to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour for men with enlarged breast tissue. A common and effective procedure that restores confidence and comfort.
