What Can a Facial Plastic Surgeon Do for You?

Facial plastic surgery procedures offer ways to naturally improve your appearance and look younger. If you want to feel better about what you see in the mirror and improve your self-confidence, scheduling an initial consultation with Dr. Tan can give you options.

Restore a More Youthful Appearance

Firm up Sagging Skin

Remove Unwanted Fat

Recontour Nose and Jawline

Improve the Appearance of the Eyes

Improve Facial Profile

Finding a plastic surgeon with advanced medical and aesthetic abilities like Dr. Tan’s assures you of the best results. Combining surgical and cosmetic procedures can bring the most noticeable benefits for many patients. They include subtle modifications to bring out your beauty.

Non-surgical alternatives are available for many procedures and can be more appropriate for younger patients desiring earlier intervention. Face and lip fillers, neuromodulators (including Botox®), radiofrequency (RF) treatments, and newer options can produce excellent results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Candidacy isn’t about age or a checklist — it’s about what stage your face is at, and what you’re hoping to restore. A patient in her 30s exploring rhinoplasty has a very different goal than a patient in her 50s considering a facelift, and both deserve a plan built around their own anatomy and timeline.

As a general guide: earlier signs of aging — fine lines, early volume loss — often respond well to non-surgical treatments. More advanced skin laxity in the face and neck, or a jawline that’s lost definition, typically calls for a surgical approach to achieve a lasting result. Concerns like excess fullness under the chin or through the cheeks may be well suited to targeted, minimally invasive procedures.

The honest answer to “am I a candidate?” is something Dr. Tan can only tell you in person — after examining your anatomy, understanding your goals, and being direct with you about what a given procedure can and can’t achieve. That conversation, not a self-diagnosis, is where your plan actually begins.

Schedule your private consultation with Dr. Tan to find out what’s right for you.

Meet Dr. Susan Tan, Our Medical Director

Susan Tan, MD, is the Founder and Medical Director of Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery — the only female fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon practicing in Hawai’i. Her patients choose her not just for her double board-certification, but for an aesthetic judgment built on precise facial anatomy: knowing exactly how much is enough, and where a lift, a graft, or a subtle refinement will read as effortless rather than done.

Dr. Tan holds two Board Certifications: Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.

She offers the full range of modern facial plastic surgery — surgical and non-surgical — grounded in one philosophy: your face should tell your story, not erase it. Every consultation is designed to leave you informed, never rushed, and confident in a plan built specifically around your goals.

What are Plastic Surgery Recovery Times Like?

Newer, less invasive techniques combined with Dr. Tan’s skill and experience minimize discomfort and shorten recovery times. Non-surgical and cosmetic procedures have even less time needed for recovery. If you’re feeling anxious, you’ll also have a full range of anesthesia options.

You’ll receive information about recovery time as you decide whether to have a treatment. Carefully following post-procedure instructions will also help in many ways:

Reduces discomfort
Minimizes swelling
Improves healing
Assures optimal results
Gets you back to work or school sooner

Many facial plastic surgery patients lead visible lives where their appearance is important and shortening recovery times is essential. We understand their needs and prioritize quick, comfortable treatments with recovery times shortened and any downtime minimized.

Dr. Tan is amazing. She did lip filler and Botox around my eyes. Her office is welcoming and beautifully decorated. I was a little nervous about and Dr. Tan really eased my anxiety during the appointment. She took her time and made sure my lips looked how I wanted. I love my results. My lips still look natural but with a bit more volume. My confidence has really improved.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed a surgeon to remove the excess skin on my neck. Since it wasn’t caused by a medical condition or weight loss, the procedure was considered cosmetic and wasn’t covered by insurance.

Before finding Dr. Tan, I had consultations with three different plastic surgeons. At each appointment, I made it clear that I was only interested in removing the excess skin on my neck. Instead of listening to what I wanted, I was told about all the other procedures they thought I should have. While those suggestions may have been nice if money weren’t an issue, they simply weren’t within my budget. I was beginning to lose hope when my daughter found Dr. Tan.

First of all, I was thrilled that she was a female surgeon—yes, I said it! From my very first consultation through my follow-up appointments, my experience with Dr. Tan has been exceptional. She is straightforward, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained what I needed without making me feel pressured to have other procedures I wasn’t asking for or can’t afford. I finally felt heard and respected.

I’m happy with my results. I continue to see Dr Tan for esthetic maintenance now because I trust her and feel comfortable with her knowing she’ll suggest what I need and not everything I don’t need and can’t afford.

If you’re looking for a surgeon who listens to her patients and genuinely has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Dr. Tan. Her staff are always friendly and professional too.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Tan is knowledgeable and really took her time evaluating me, offering options, and answering my questions. I specifically went to her for non surgical options, knowing that she also does surgery and could speak to the risks and benefits for different procedures and how they might affect future surgeries. I trust her and I’m happy with my non surgical results so far.

Thank you!
