Are you one of the many people wondering why darkened patches of skin on your face showed up out of the blue? Melasma is a facial skin condition that’s characterized by brown or blue-gray patches or freckle-like spots that appear on the forehead, cheeks, chin, upper lip and/or nose.

Sunlight exposure plays a major role in triggering the appearance of melasma, along with birth control pills, HCG diets and hormone replacement. 
Do you see tired-looking eyes every time you look in the mirror, even though you’re not feeling tired? Dark circles and puffiness under the eyes are a common issue that many men and women inquire about here at Triangle Facial Plastic Surgery in Raleigh, NC. We are most often asked about what causes them and how to get rid of them. While this condition may be quite challenging to treat, Dr. Adam Becker, Facial Plastic Surgeon, and Yelena Migirova, Licensed Medical Esthetician, are here to shed some light (pun intended) and address some options that may help improve and brighten the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. 
Chin retrusion (also known as a ‘weak chin’ or ‘receding chin’) occurs when the chin projects slightly backward toward the neck, causing a facial imbalance.

For patients who are bothered by a weak chin, Dr. Adam Becker at Triangle Facial Plastic Surgery, offers treatment options, both surgical and non-surgical, for chin augmentation in Raleigh, NC to balance the lower face and improve facial attractiveness.
