What's Included

The Blackhawk Face Forward Procedures

Dr. Ronan will recommend the right combination for your goals, anatomy, and timeline as no two plans are the same.

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance by addressing visible signs of facial aging. Over time, factors such as gravity, sun exposure, stress, and loss of skin elasticity can contribute to sagging skin, deep folds, jowls, and loss of definition in the jawline and neck. A facelift helps reverse these changes by tightening underlying facial tissues, repositioning deeper structures, and removing excess skin for natural-looking rejuvenation.

At Blackhawk Plastic Surgery, facelift surgery is customized to each patient’s unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure may focus on the lower face, midface, jawline, and neck, and is often combined with complementary treatments such as eyelid surgery, brow lift, laser resurfacing, or fat grafting to create balanced, comprehensive results.

Modern facelift techniques are designed to avoid an overly tight or “pulled” appearance. Instead, the goal is to help patients look rested, refreshed, and naturally younger while still looking like themselves. Results can provide long-lasting improvement in facial contour, skin laxity, and overall confidence.

A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline by addressing loose skin, excess fat, muscle banding, and other visible signs of aging. As skin loses elasticity over time, the neck can begin to develop sagging, fullness beneath the chin, or vertical bands that create an aged or poorly defined profile. A neck lift helps restore a smoother, firmer, and more youthful contour to the lower face and neck.

At Blackhawk Plastic Surgery, neck lift procedures are carefully tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals. Depending on the patient’s needs, treatment may include tightening the underlying neck muscles, removing or repositioning excess fat, and trimming loose skin to create a more refined and natural-looking neckline. In some cases, liposuction may be used to improve contour beneath the chin and along the jawline.

A neck lift is often performed on its own or combined with a facelift or chin enhancement procedure for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The goal is not to create an overly tight appearance, but rather to achieve a refreshed, balanced look that enhances facial definition while maintaining natural expression and character.

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. Over time, aging, genetics, and loss of skin elasticity can cause the eyelids to develop sagging skin, puffiness, under-eye bags, or a tired appearance. In some cases, excess upper eyelid skin may even interfere with vision. Blepharoplasty helps restore a more refreshed, youthful, and rested look to the eyes while maintaining natural facial expression.

At Blackhawk Plastic Surgery, eyelid surgery is carefully customized to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing or repositioning excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to create a smoother, more open appearance. Lower blepharoplasty addresses puffiness, hollowness, and loose skin beneath the eyes to improve contour and reduce signs of fatigue.

Blepharoplasty is often combined with complementary procedures such as a brow lift, facelift, laser resurfacing, or fat grafting for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The goal is subtle, natural-looking enhancement that helps patients appear brighter, more alert, and refreshed without looking overdone or dramatically altered.

A brow lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate and rejuvenate the forehead and brow area by addressing sagging brows, deep forehead lines, and a tired or heavy appearance around the eyes. As the aging process progresses, the brows can gradually descend, creating hooding over the upper eyelids and contributing to an angry, fatigued, or aged expression. A brow lift helps restore a smoother, more refreshed, and naturally youthful appearance to the upper face.

At Blackhawk Plastic Surgery, brow lift procedures are customized to each patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure focuses on repositioning the brows to a more youthful location while softening forehead creases and reducing frown lines between the eyebrows. Depending on the patient’s needs, a brow lift may be performed using advanced techniques designed to minimize visible scarring and create subtle, natural-looking results.

A brow lift is often combined with complementary procedures such as blepharoplasty, facelift surgery, laser resurfacing, or injectables to achieve balanced facial rejuvenation. The goal is not to dramatically change facial expression, but to create a rested, approachable appearance that enhances the eyes and upper face while preserving the patient’s natural character and individuality.

Laser resurfacing is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by reducing visible signs of aging and sun damage. Over time, factors such as sun exposure, acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and loss of collagen can affect the quality and clarity of the skin. Laser resurfacing works by using advanced laser technology to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.

At Blackhawk Plastic Surgery, laser resurfacing treatments are customized to each patient’s skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals. Depending on the level of correction needed, treatment may target fine lines around the eyes and mouth, acne scars, sunspots, rough texture, enlarged pores, or uneven skin tone. As new collagen forms during the healing process, the skin gradually appears firmer, brighter, and more youthful.

Laser resurfacing may be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with procedures such as facelift surgery, blepharoplasty, or other skin rejuvenation therapies for more comprehensive results. The goal is natural-looking skin renewal that enhances overall skin quality while helping patients achieve a refreshed, healthy, and revitalized appearance.

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or facial fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that restores lost volume using a patient’s own natural fat cells. As the face ages, volume loss can occur in areas such as the cheeks, under-eyes, temples, jawline, and around the mouth, contributing to a hollow, tired, or aged appearance. Fat grafting helps rejuvenate these areas by adding soft, natural-looking fullness while improving facial balance and contour.

The procedure involves carefully removing fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, through gentle liposuction techniques. The purified fat is then strategically injected into targeted areas of the face or body to restore youthful volume and enhance overall appearance. Because the transferred fat comes from the patient’s own body, fat grafting offers a natural alternative to synthetic fillers.

At Blackhawk Plastic Surgery, fat grafting is customized to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. It is often combined with procedures such as facelift surgery, blepharoplasty, neck lift surgery, or laser resurfacing for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The goal is subtle, natural enhancement that restores youthful contours, softens hollow areas, and helps patients achieve refreshed, balanced, and long-lasting results without looking overfilled or artificial.

PATIENT REVIEWS

Francisco S.

I got a face-lift surgery with Dr. Ronan and I just want to thank him and the nurses for their fast response and help on my concerns after my post-op surgery. They have answered all my concerns based on the process of my healing. I guess I have to be patient on my healing journey and the best advice for other patients looking to do a face-lift is to have patience and trust the process. The doctor and nurses are very professional and attentive. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ronan.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTIONS ABOUT BLACKHAWK FACE FORWARD

Is the consultation really free?

Yes, completely. Your initial consultation with Dr. Ronan is complimentary. It’s a chance to share your goals, ask questions, and hear what he’d recommend. There’s no obligation and no pressure to move forward.

What procedures qualify for the complimentary ellacor® offer?

The ellacor add-on is available with qualifying Blackhawk Face Forward surgeries including: Facelift, Neck Lift, Blepharoplasty, Eyelid Surgery, Laser Resurfacing, and Fat Transfer. Dr. Ronan will confirm eligibility at your consultation. Surgery must be completed by September 30, 2026.

What exactly is ellacor®?

ellacor® is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive treatment that uses micro-coring technology that uses tiny hollow needles to remove small columns of skin from the mid and lower face. Unlike laser or radiofrequency devices, it creates no heat or thermal tissue damage. The result is genuine, long-lasting improvement in skin laxity that looks natural.

Can ellacor® be done alongside surgery?

Yes, and that’s exactly why it’s such a powerful add-on. Surgery addresses the structural layers of the face. ellacor® addresses skin quality and laxity at the surface level. Together, the outcome is more complete than either approach alone.

When does the offer end?

The free ellacor offer applies to surgeries completed by September 30, 2026. To be eligible, you’ll need to book your consultation and schedule surgery with enough time to complete it before the deadline. We encourage you to reach out soon as surgical schedules fill up.

I'm not sure if I need surgery. Can I still come in?

Absolutely. The consultation is a conversation, not a commitment. Many patients come in unsure of what they need and that’s exactly what Dr. Ronan is there for. He’ll walk you through your options, explain what each procedure does, and let you make the decision that’s right for you.
