Whether it is changing a feature on your face you have never
been happy with or reducing signs of aging to help restore
confidence in your appearance, facial cosmetic surgery can
make a dramatic difference in your life. In many cases, it
can totally transform both the way you look and feel about
yourself.
Facial cosmetic surgery ranges from the more complex face
lifting procedures to smaller, less involved ones such as
collagen injections. Dr. Pasquale has extensive experience
in all types of facial plastic surgery and skin care, and
he can offer a wide selection of techniques to help enhance
your appearance. The choice of procedures will be dependent
on many factors: your desired results, your skin type and
condition, your budget, and the amount of recovery time
you are considering.
Dr. Pasquale is a board certified plastic and reconstructive
surgeon who has completed not only full residency training
in plastic and reconstructive surgery, but also an additional
two years of training in the subspecialty of cosmetic surgery.
Since then, his many years of private practice have only perfected
these skills. Of special note, as a practicing cosmetic surgeon
in Hawaii, Dr. Pasquale has particular expertise working with
Asian facial features and has an in-depth understanding of
the Asian concept of beauty. With this unique background,
he is able to help both Asians and non-Asians alike achieve
the beautiful and natural looking facial results they desire.

Our practice is proud to offer patients a state-of-the-art
surgical facility equipped with the latest in advanced technology.
Our cutting edge equipment includes the Ultrapulse CO2 (carbon
dioxide) laser, used for laser skin resurfacing, as well as
extensive monitoring and video equipment in each surgery room.
In addition to laser treatment, patients can also choose from
radio frequency energy or intense pulsed light therapy with
the following two technologies, both available at our practice.
Thermacool TC™ (Thermage)
Imagine having younger, more vibrant skin free of wrinkles
and folds—without surgery. The revolutionary new ThermaCool
TC system uses special radio frequency energy to perform non-surgical
face lifts. The machine works by heating the collagen in the
inner layers of the skin while keeping the outer layers cool
with a refreshing spray. The heat tightens the collagen, giving
the skin the added support of face lift with no incisions
and virtually no recovery time. To learn more about ThermaCool
TC, please contact our office today.
Prolite Fluorescent Pulsed Light System
Prolite is an innovative skin care system that uses intense
pulsed fluorescent light to effectively treat a number
of skin conditions, from rosacea and unsightly facial
veins to unwanted hair or skin pigmentation. During treatment,
intense pulsed light from the Prolite machine enters and
breaks up pigment in the targeted area, without overheating
or harming the surrounding skin. The Prolite system can
also be customized to filter out specific light wavelengths,
depending on a patient’s
skin type and on the skin problem being treated. Prolite
treatments are simple, involve little to no discomfort,
and provide dramatic improvement to the look of your skin.
To find out more about the Prolite system and the many
treatment options with it, please contact the practice
of Dr. Pasquale today.
If you are comparing the prices for a face lift or other
facial cosmetic procedures, make sure you know what the quote
you receive from your surgeon includes. (Plastic surgeons
typically charge more than other specialists who also may
perform facial cosmetic procedures because of their additional
training.) When evaluating a fee quote, be sure to consider
the following points:
- Is it simply the surgeon’s fee? Does it include
anesthesia and, if so, what type?
- The price of facial cosmetic procedures varies widely
depending on the type of procedure chosen. To give you some
idea, a face lift, on average, can cost from $5,000 to $10,000
U.S. dollars. Anything less and you need to question why
it is so inexpensive. (Does the surgeon need the experience
so he/she lowers the price?) Obviously, less involved procedures
– those that do not, for example, require general
anesthesia or full surgery – will cost less.
- Ask your surgeon what the arrangements are if a revision
is needed. Will he or she charge you a full fee or just
cost? Although revisions are generally not common, they
are a possibility and it is important to understand how
your surgeon will charge you for them.
There are websites that promise very cheap prices, but remember:
if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Can you
put a price tag on your health?
