- OtolaryngologyArt and medicine, architecture and science opened the door to the career of Steven S. Orten, M.D. His desire to help people greatly influenced his decision to become a doctor. His training in architecture and medicine led to his chosen specialty of Facial Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, where he combines the disciplines of both. Dr. Orten has 15 years experience and special training in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. He is well regarded as a facial plastic and cosmetic surgeon and is board certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery.

- Reconstructive SurgeryThe field of facial plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery has experienced tremendous change in recent years. New technology and advancements bring not only renewed hope for individuals facing reconstructive surgery, but also provide more options and less invasive techniques for people desiring corrective procedures or cosmetic surgery.
- BotoxFor unwanted crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead creases Botox injections maybe used to temporarily efface these wrinkle lines, and provide a softer, smoother look around the eyes. Fine wrinkle lines and crepe-like skin may also be tightened by laser surgery or chemical peels.
- Brow Lift
- Eyelid SurgeryOther facial cosmetic surgeries may be performed at the same time such as eyelid surgery, browlift surgery, chin surgery or neck liposuction.
- LiposuctionAnother possiblity for improvement through chin surgery is submental liposuction in which excess fatty tissue is removed to redefine the chin or neckline. When there is a contributing problem of teeth malalignment or birth defects in the structure of the jaw itself, surgery of the jaw can improve the form and function of the lower face and greatly enhance appearance.
- RhinoplastySurgeons who specialize in rhinoplasty, or surgery of the nose, are often the first to suggest that changes in chin size or shape may enhance a profile as much as rhinoplasty. It is common for the facial plastic surgeon to recommend chin surgery in addition to nose surgery when the surgeon sees that chin augmentation is necessary to achieve facial balance and harmony. Fortunately, this is a relatively straightforward procedure that can make a major difference.
- Plastic SurgeryIf the natural sparkle of youth has faded from your eyes because of sagging eyebrows or droopy, puffy eyelids, take heart. A number of facial plastic surgery procedures are available to revitalize your eyes, and restore a more youthful appearance and full field of vision. Droopy eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, sagging upper eyelid skin, or a perpetual worried look can be rejuvenated by performing a browlift (also known as a forehead lift). Browlift procedures can raise and reshape the eyebrows, lift and tighten the forehead skin, and soften creases on the forehead and between the eyebrows. More people are opting to have this procedure performed endoscopically because small incisions are hidden in the hairline and there is no permanent numbness to the forehead.
- Face LiftOur newest facelift, the Natural Lift has been getting fantastic results. Our patients love the ease, reduced costs and results of this new procedure.
- Neck Lift
- BlepharoplastyRedundant upper and lower eyelid skin maybe removed by performing a blepharoplasty procedure. This involves hiding tiny incisions in natural creases of the eyelid or behind the eyelid. Excess skin folds and fat are removed and the incisions are closed with fine sutures. Eyelid incisions heal quickly and are usually imperceptible.
- AbdominoplastyA tummy tuck addresses these issues, by removing excess skin or fat, and tightening the rectus abdominal muscle resulting in a flatter abdomen. An abdominoplasty procedure is often performed in conjunction with liposuction to remove fat from the flank (love handles).

- Breast SurgeryCosmetic breast surgery may involve augmentation mammoplasty (making small breasts larger), reduction mammoplasty (making large breasts smaller), or mastopexy (lifting droopy breasts).

- Scar Revision
- Lip Augmentation
- Laser ResurfacingMultiple techniques are used to make scars less conspicuous. Revising scars with surgery can put them in more hidden locations in natural creases or into hair-bearing locations. Dermabrasion or laser resurfacing can flatten or remove redness of scars. Steroid injections may flatten and make scars less tender, especially when the scars are the raised, red scars of Keloid formation.

- Skin CancerIn the sunbelt region we enjoy sports, recreation and working outdoors. Years of sun exposure, however, can take its toll on our skin leading to wrinkles, or even worse, skin cancer. Dr. Orten's training in surgical oncology, as well as, plastic and reconstructive surgery well suites him for diagnosing, treating, and reconstructing patients with skin malignancies.
- UlcerMost skin cancers occur on the face, head or neck since these areas are more often exposed to the sun. However, skin cancer may occur on any area of the body. If you have a skin sore, ulcer, or lesion which does not heal in 3-4 weeks it should be evaluated. Moles which are changing or growing should also be evaluated. Skin cancers which are recognized early are much easier to treat and complete cures are most often the result. Please call our office for an appointment.
- LesionsLasers may also be used to treat vascular lesions such as Port Wine stains (blood vessel birthmarks), spider veins of the face and legs, tattoos, and pigmented lesions (brown spots). Some skin conditions require several treatments; others may require only one treatment.
