Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery

The Face Lift Doc During residency, Dr. Schmidt also earned a grant that allowed him to travel with several other surgeons on a medical mission trip to Vietnam.

Meet Dr. Schmidt ~ After earning his medical doctorate degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio School of Medicine, Dr. Schmidt was selected for a highly competitive Head and Neck Surgery residency in Omaha, NE. He spent his fifth year in residency as chief resident where he was afforded the opportunity to teach both residents and medical students from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Creighton University School of Medicine. In Saigon, he worked directly with indigent children in need of surgery and participated in the training of the Vietnamese surgeons. Dr. Schmidt will continue to help those in need overseas. Additionally he is offering pro Bono services to benefit select combat veterans and victims of domestic violence that have suffered facial injury and disfigurement. Following residency, Dr. Schmidt was selected from a pool of head and neck surgeons and plastic surgeons for a highly competitive fellowship program in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Schmidt has become an expert in facial rejuvenation as a product of caring for hundreds of patients undergoing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face.

Hello again, Shelby! At 33, Shelby is active, health-conscious, and thoughtful about the choices she makes, especially when it comes to her face. Earlier this year, she underwent lower eyelid surgery on her left with Dr. Schmidt to treat a bulge that only bothered her on this one side.

After treating her the left lower eyelid, she loved the result and felt that this eyelid actually looked *better* than the untreated side . So she returned with the hopes of having her right side look as good as her left.

After evaluation, Dr. Schmidt identified mild fat bulging beneath the right lower eyelid. To correct it, he performed a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty, an internal approach that allows fat to be carefully contoured without any visible external incision. The procedure took about 45 minutes under local anesthesia. No external stitches. No visible scars.

Shelby describes feeling calm and excited the day of surgery. Her recovery was smooth, with mild swelling at first, minimal bruising by week one, and noticeable symmetry within the first month. Her favorite part? “You couldn’t really tell anything had been done.”

Now, both lower eyelids appear smooth, balanced, and completely natural. For Shelby, this wasn’t about transformation. It was about refinement, choosing a lasting solution that made her feel symmetrical and confident.

Say hello to Ryan. At 44, Ryan works full-time as a firefighter and paramedic, a career that demands strength, resilience, and long hours in heavy protective gear. But behind his right earlobe, he was dealing with something that didn’t feel small: a painful, visible keloid that developed after a prior surgery.

While he describes this tissue as “cartilage”, it’s actually a firm mass of benign scar tissue that can act like a tumor, growing and eating away at surrounding healthy tissue. They are notoriously difficult to treat with a very high likelihood for recurrence. He had already tried steroid injections elsewhere, hoping it would flatten with conservative medical treatment. Instead, it remained firm and continued to grow. The location made it worse, rubbing against his helmet and gear, constantly irritated, and always noticeable.

When Ryan came to Dr. Schmidt, the goal wasn’t just removal. He wanted a plan to make it go away and never come back.

Dr. Schmidt performed an excision of the keloid with layered closure to reduce tension and support proper healing. Because of the high risk of recurrence, the surgery was only the first step. Over the following months, Ryan committed to ongoing scar injection therapy, scar massage, compression, and sun protection, small but important steps that made a lasting difference.

Today, the area behind his ear is smooth, pale, and nearly undetectable. No elevation. No discomfort. No regrowth. Ryan admits he was nervous at first, “Having your ear cut open is scary.” But he says the detailed consultation and clear plan gave him confidence.

For Ryan, this wasn’t just about vanity. It was also about comfort, confidence, and not thinking about that spot every time he put on his gear. If you’d like to learn more about keloid treatment and long-term scar management, visit the link below.

You’ve met Jennifer... Now we’re spotlighting her results!

Jennifer was 51 and spending much of her day on video calls for work. Seeing herself on screen daily made the changes in her lower face and neck impossible to ignore, softening along the jawline, fullness beneath the chin, and sagging that made her look more tired than she felt. She often found herself subconsciously covering her neck during meetings, which began to affect her confidence.

After a detailed evaluation, she underwent an extended deep plane facelift and deep plane neck lift, along with conservative liposuction to the submental, submandibular, and jawline areas. This approach allowed the deeper facial support structures to be repositioned, rather than simply tightening skin.

By entering the deep plane and strategically releasing retaining ligaments, mobility was restored to the descended tissues. Only after proper resuspension was excess skin appropriately trimmed. The goal was restoration with natural-appearing tightening.

In the early weeks, she experienced the normal swelling and emotional adjustment that comes with surgery. By week two, she felt more like herself. By week three, she was comfortably back to daily activities without others noticing she had surgery.

Today, her jawline appears sharper, her neck smoother, and her lower face more proportionate without a pulled or overdone appearance. More importantly, she reports feeling confident again on camera. She no longer hides her neck during calls and smiles more freely in public. What once felt “vain” now feels empowering, a true investment in herself.

Head to the to get started.

Meet Cheryl. At 44, she leads an active, healthy lifestyle and feels great, but her reflection wasn’t telling the same story.

Despite good habits and trying non-surgical options, Cheryl felt her under-eye puffiness, heavy brows, and eyelids made her look constantly tired. During her consultation with Dr. Schmidt, they talked through what she was noticing and, more importantly, what she hoped to feel when she looked in the mirror.

Together, they created a thoughtful plan: a conservative brow lift, lower eyelid blepharoplasty, and removal of a small cheek lesion, all performed under local anesthesia, to refresh her appearance while keeping everything natural and true to her.

Today, Cheryl says she doesn’t look “done,” she just looks rested. Refreshed. Like herself again.

What is a facelift… and what is it not?

A facelift focuses on lifting the cheek and lower face areas. As we age, loss of tissue elasticity causes the deeper tissues of the face to settle, leading to jowls and folds such as marionette lines. A facelift helps reposition these loose, sagging tissues to restore a more refreshed contour.

My facelift techniques don’t rely on simply pulling the skin tight. Instead, they resuspend the deeper connective tissues, allowing the skin to move naturally with them. The formal name for a facelift is “rhytidectomy” a term often misunderstood as “cutting out wrinkles,” when the goal is actually structural support and repositioning, not just skin removal.

What a facelift does not do is treat sun spots or deeply etched lines outside the lower face. Those concerns are better addressed with resurfacing treatments such as lasers, chemical peels, and dermabrasion.

Say hello to Jennifer! At 51, her work required frequent video meetings, which made her increasingly aware of changes along her jawline and neck. She noticed fullness beneath the chin, softening along the jaw, and a heaviness in the lower face that affected how she felt on camera. Over time, these changes began to impact her confidence.

After a thorough evaluation, it became clear that non-surgical treatments would not address the underlying issue. Jennifer’s concerns were driven by the downward movement of deeper facial tissues and excess skin, not just surface changes.

Dr. Schmidt performed an extended deep plane facelift and deep plane neck lift to restore structure and definition. In simple terms, this meant lifting and repositioning the deeper support layers of the face and neck, then carefully removing excess fat beneath the chin and along the jawline to refine contour.

What Jennifer describes most clearly is the emotional shift. She feels more confident, smiles more, and no longer thinks about hiding her jawline or neck during video calls. While she briefly had reservations regarding surgery, this decision became an empowering one, an investment in herself that aligned how she looks with how she feels.

Meet Stephanie! At 28, she was balancing a demanding career and motherhood when she decided to address concerns she had quietly lived with for years. She was bothered by a heavier, downward-turned nasal tip, a small bump along the bridge, and, only later, difficulty breathing through the right side of her nose.

After a detailed evaluation, Stephanie underwent a combined cosmetic closed rhinoplasty and septoplasty. This approach allowed us to reshape the appearance of her nose while also straightening the internal divider that affects airflow. The nasal tip was refined and supported to reduce fullness, the bridge was smoothed by carefully
reshaping cartilage and bone, and the base of the nostrils was adjusted for better balance. Internal nasal structures were repositioned to improve breathing.

As swelling continues to resolve over the coming weeks and months, we will see continued refinement of her results. Her transformation reflects a thoughtful balance of appearance and function, supporting how Stephanie looks, breathes, and moves through her life.

Rebecca was 52 when she decided it was time to address changes she could no longer ignore... softening along the jawline, looseness in the neck, and visible neck banding that made her look more tired than she felt. She had already explored non-surgical options, but they didn’t meaningfully address the bigger structural changes she was seeing.

After careful evaluation, she underwent an extended deep plane facelift and deep plane neck lift with platysmaplasty. This approach allows the deeper layers of the face and neck to be repositioned rather than simply tightening the skin.

Just under four months after surgery, Rebecca noted a significant change, not only in her appearance, but in how she felt. She rated her satisfaction with the appearance of her face as moving from a 3 out of 10 before surgery to a 9 out of 10 after. Now, as shown here in her photos nearly nine months out, her jawline appears more defined, her neck smoother, and her scars have healed flat and well blended.

This transformation reflects what’s possible when surgery is chosen thoughtfully, addressing the root cause of change and honoring the patient’s goals, rather than chasing trends or surface-level fixes.

When is the right time for a facelift? Let’s break it down.

When it comes to your candidacy for surgery, your biological age is more important than your chronological age. Some people in their early 40s may show more signs of aging than others in their 50s. So we do have instances where younger individuals may reap more benefit than their older counterparts. A lot of it comes down to genetics and environmental factors. Then we have those pushing into their 70s and 80s who may be in better shape than those decades younger than them. In such cases, the older individual may be a better fit for an elective procedure. The key considerations here are achieving a meaningful change and being healthy enough to endure surgery.

Say hello to Jillian! She came to Dr. Schmidt with one clear priority: a natural-looking result that still felt like her. As Dr. Schmidt says, “The overall destination is patient driven,” and Jillian expressed the desire for refinement, not a change that would completely transform the appearance of her face.

Her goals included narrowing the tip of her nose (but not overdoing it), reducing nostril width, smoothing a small bump along the bridge (often called a dorsal hump), reducing the exaggerated appearance of the tip cartilage through the skin, lowering the flared edges of the nostrils, and improving mild breathing concerns. Every adjustment was intentionally measured and designed to enhance balance while avoiding anything overdone.

Jill’s post-op satisfaction reflects both improved comfort and a refreshed appearance that still feels completely authentic to her as well as to her family and friends. Her results demonstrate that functional and cosmetic goals can coexist seamlessly. 💙
