Facial & Cosmetic Surgery Center

The Facial & Cosmetic Surgery Center of the North Area now specializes in providing non-invasive facial cosmetic rejuvenation services to patients in Carmichael, California and the greater Sacramento area.

This practice was established by Dr. Andrew Pichler, M.D., a Board Certified Facial Plastic surgeon who has successfully performed thousands of facial plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, such as facelifts, eyelid tucks, rhinoplasties and forhead/brow lifts, for more than 30 years.Because of demand for his expertise, Dr Pichler still provides second opinion consultations for facial cosmetic procedures.

Dr Pichler has stopped doing surgical procedures as of 2015 and now concentrates on non-invasive facial cosmetic rejuvenation. Please refer to thumb tag "Injectables and Skin Care" for more detail. The information provided below is for benefit of our patients who may wish to have a second opinion surgery consultation with us.

Several factors such as aging, sun damage, smoking, stretching and obesity can cause the eyelids to droop and sag as the supporting tissues deteriorate. This area is often one of the first to deteriorate, as the skin of the eyelid is thinner than the rest of the face. Eyelids that droop or bulge can cause people to appear much older or fatigued than they actually are.

Browlifts can revitalize drooping or lined foreheads, helping you to look less angry, sad or tired. Using either traditional or minimally invasive (endoscopic) methods, browlifts involve the removal or alteration of the muscles above the eyes to smooth lines and raise the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance.
