Surgical Procedures We Offer
Our experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. David A. Hecht, specializes in surgical treatments such as rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facelift, and more. We also offer non-surgical treatments such as skin resurfacing to help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Not only does Dr. Hecht focus on facial cosmetic surgery in Scottsdale, but he also offers meticulous preservation of features with reconstructive procedures. Facial reconstructive surgery is a specialized field of plastic surgery that focuses on repairing and restoring facial structures damaged by skin cancer, injury, disease, or birth defects.
Facial reconstructive surgery aims to improve the face’s function and appearance, helping patients feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.
Cosmetic facial plastic surgery
Dr. Hecht prefers a natural, “non-operated” look, focusing on realistic expectations. He personally evaluates and manages each patient’s care. He openly discusses goals, benefits, and limitations with every patient to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the procedure before surgery.
Successful facial plastic surgery results from a good rapport between the patient and the surgeon. Trust, based on realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise, develops in the consulting stages before surgery. Dr. Hecht understands the value of this and thoroughly explains the procedure and answers specific questions about each individual’s unique needs before surgery.
Facial cosmetic surgery procedures offered by Dr. Hecht include:
- Rhinoplasty (nose job) – Refines nasal shape and improves breathing
- Revision rhinoplasty – Corrects issues from previous nasal surgeries
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) – Addresses excess eyelid skin and under-eye bags

Facial reconstructive surgery
Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease. It is generally performed to improve functions, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance.
Most health insurance policies cover facial reconstruction surgery, although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly.
Reconstructive surgery procedures offered by Dr. Hecht include:
- Deviated septum – Corrects nasal septum deviations to improve airflow
- Nasal obstruction – Alleviates breathing difficulties caused by nasal blockages
- Skin cancer reconstruction – Restores facial appearance following skin cancer removal
Who Should Consider Our Surgical Procedures?
Facial surgical procedures are best suited for individuals with good overall health and realistic expectations about the outcome. These procedures may be an appropriate solution if you’re looking to refine specific facial features, restore facial balance, or address a medical concern like a deviated septum or skin cancer defect.
Ideal candidates typically experience concerns such as a nasal deformity, sagging eyelids and neck, prominent ears, or changes in facial structure due to aging, trauma, or previous surgery. You may also be a good candidate if you’ve had trouble breathing due to nasal obstruction or have visible skin irregularities.
Non-smokers tend to heal better, and individuals who are not currently dealing with uncontrolled medical conditions are more likely to achieve optimal results. A personal consultation with Dr. Hecht can help determine the most effective approach based on your goals and anatomy.
Understanding the Surgical Process
Facial surgical procedures begin with a comprehensive consultation, where you’ll discuss your goals and medical history with Dr. Hecht. From there, a personalized surgical plan is developed to suit your specific needs. The surgery is performed under appropriate anesthesia in a certified facility to ensure safety and comfort.
After the procedure, you’ll receive detailed postoperative care instructions to support a smooth recovery. Dr. Hecht’s personalized approach guides each step, helping to achieve natural-looking, optimal results.
Recovery and Results
Recovery depends on the procedure — whether it’s facelift, eyelid surgery, skin resurfacing, or rhinoplasty in our Scottsdale, AZ practice. Most patients experience temporary swelling or bruising, which gradually resolves within one to two weeks. For instance, procedures like rhytidectomy (facelift) in Scottsdale, AZ, have a recovery time that typically lasts a few weeks, with the final results showing a smoother, more youthful facial appearance.
Full results emerge as healing continues, revealing smoother contours and more balanced facial features. Dr. Hecht provides detailed recovery guidance to help ensure a safe and effective outcome.
Advantages of Facial Procedures
Facial procedures can improve visible signs of aging, correct structural concerns, and restore balance to your features. Common concerns like sagging skin, deep creases, and drooping brows or eyelids can be addressed through surgical options such as facelifts, brow lifts, and eyelid surgery. These techniques help create a more rested, youthful appearance without altering your unique facial identity.
Other procedures, like rhinoplasty, are often chosen to refine facial proportions or correct long-standing issues with shape or symmetry. Subtle changes in these areas can enhance overall harmony and boost facial definition.
Skin-focused treatments, such as skin resurfacing, can also be combined with surgery or performed independently. These options improve texture, tone, and pigmentation, helping to reduce fine lines, sun damage, or scarring.
Together, these procedures offer highly personalized solutions. Each one is designed to enhance natural features with noticeable and lasting results.

Cost of Surgical Procedures in Scottsdale
The cost of facial surgical procedures in Scottsdale depends on the specific treatment, the complexity of your case, and whether you choose to combine multiple surgeries such as rhinoplasty, facelift, or eyelid surgery. Pricing typically includes anesthesia, facility fees, and follow-up care.
While costs vary based on the procedure and treatment plan, financing can make your surgical goals more accessible. Many patients pay over time through trusted partners like CareCredit® which offers flexible monthly payment plans and quick online applications.
