Patients who have a boxy, angular, or a wide chin may benefit from jaw narrowing. Square faces and jaws can be converted into a more oval and feminine shaped. Wide faces can be significantly slimmed with these techniques along with cheekbone reduction surgery
Expertise in Robotic Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Disorders
Dr. Keojampa trained in TORS (Transoral Robotic Surgery) in 2009 and has one of the longest and most extensive experiences in Robotic surgery. We are also one of the few practices in the USA and internationally that offer both maxillo-mandibular advancement (double jaw surgery) and robotic assisted base of tongue reduction (TORS) to aggressively treat anatomic causes of upper airway obstruction. Advanced procedures such as maxillomandibular advancement, double jaw, and orthognathic surgery, genioglossus advancement, hyoid suspension, and palate surgery are offered.
Aesthetic Orthognathic Surgery
Double Jaw surgery (Lefort 1 with Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy) can be performed to treat malocclusion, and for aesthetic reasons. Both segments can be moved to the best aesthetic and functional position. The surgery can change the appearance of the face immensely and can improve the facial aesthetics drastically especially in patients with midface and jaw hypoplasia. Lefort osteotomies can be used to treat Vertical Maxillary Excess or “Long face syndrome.” Patients with vertical maxillary excess (VME) or “long face syndrome” can have the vertical height of the maxilla reduced with the LeFort 1 osteotomy. Correction involves decreasing the vertical position of the maxilla and the amount of gingival show. Dr. Keojampa will prioritize both aesthetics of the face along with correcting functional issues of an over or underbite causing malocclusion.

Advanced Diagnostic Services
Dr. Keojampa is a world leading facial plastic surgeon | head and neck surgeon who utilizes the most advanced techniques such as using stereotactic real-time CT image guidance during facial feminization surgery and endoscopic sinus surgery. This is the same technology used by Neurosurgeons to pinpoint exact locations of critical areas of the skull and brain within less than a millimeter. CT-stereotactic image navigation provides the highest level of precision and safety during facial feminization and craniofacial surgery. 3D Facial CT scanning is important in presurgery planning. We perform 3D CT imaging and modeling in all facial feminization surgery patients to determine the exact locations of the osteotomies and how much bone to reduce to feminize the face and jaw. Dr. Keojampa has pioneered the use of 3d medical printing of exact patient specific anatomical models, virtual surgical planning, and stereotactic image navigation in facial gender confirmation surgery and Aesthetic craniofacial surgery.

Procedures
Lip Lift and Augmentation
A lip lift gives the upper lip a more feminine appearance with greater volume and tooth show. As you age, the upper lip loses volume and increases in length. It can work wonders for improving lost lip volume and wrinkles.
Eyelid and Blepharoplasty Surgery
Eyelid surgery can dramatically refresh the appearance of one’s face. Excess skin and fat can be removed enhance the appearance and brighten your eyes.
Facelift
A facelift is a surgical procedure which includes improvement from the cheeks and jawline down to, and including the neck.
Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty
Every nose is unique because of gender, ethnicity, and age. What’s important is that your nose fits your face and functions well. The goal of rhinoplasty and septoplasty is to craft natural results and the nose you should have been born with. We perform most of our primary rhinoplasty using a closed scarless rhinoplasty approach which allows for flash recovery and no possibility of visible scarring. Dr. Keojampa is experienced in both closed and open rhinoplasty. Closed or scarless rhinoplasty is more difficult to perform and also only mastered after performing first hundreds of open rhinoplasty surgeries. For revision rhinoplasty, we often perform rib grafting to provide sufficient cartilage to reconstruct and repair the nose.
Hair Transplants
Transplanting hair is a proven technique of hair replacement. In follicular unit transplantation, naturally occurring groups of 1-4 hairs, or “follicular units” are relocated from the “donor area” to the balding or thinning area of the scalp. Depending on your hair color, thickness, and desired density, the full course of treatment can be down in one treatment session.
Our patients come from throughout the USA and World
