• Emergency Care
  My first encounter with Dr. Kachenmeister was in the emergency room of a trauma center. I thank God that Dr. Kachenmeister was on call. I know that the posts here concern procedures/treatments/medications that make people more beautiful. I, on the other hand, needed a plastic/reconstructive surgeon for traumatic head, eye, and facial injuries. I fell. I literally fell on my face. I joked...

• Forehead Lift
  There are different blepharoplasty procedures that we offer. How your eyes currently look, and the results that you are looking for will help us determine which procedure is right for you. Upper blepharoplasty is performed when excess skin and fat are removed through an incision that is hidden in the natural eyelid crease. If your lid is droopy, the muscle that raises your upper lid is tightened. Lower blepharoplasty is when we remove fat in the lower eyelid and reposition it through an incision hidden on the inner surface of the eyelid. These procedures are also able to be performed together. Upper and Lower blepharoplasty can be combined with other procedures such as eyebrow or forehead lift, mid face lift, facelift, neck lift, or laser skin resurfacing.
