About Dr. Evan Ransom

Dr. Evan Ransom is a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and otolaryngologist (head and neck surgeon). He graduated in the top 10% of his class at the College of Physicians & Surgeons at Columbia University in New York City before completing a residency at the University of Pennsylvania and a fellowship with Dr. Andrew Jacono, a leading plastic surgeon in the country.

Face & Neck Surgery in Palo Alto

The facelift is one of the most popular procedures performed at Ransom/MD. It is often combined with a neck lift for more comprehensive results. Dr. Ransom utilizes advanced techniques like the deep plane lift to lift and reposition the underlying facial structures, not just the overlying skin. This allows for more pleasing and longer-lasting results. Patients considering a facelift in Palo Alto can also choose from a mini facelift for early signs of aging or the endoscopic midface lift. Dr. Ransom also considers the male vs. female aesthetic and offers a specialized facelift for men, focusing on maintaining the male aesthetic while rejuvenating a more youthful appearance.

Rhinoplasty in Palo Alto

Dr. Ransom is a leading rhinoplasty surgeon in Palo Alto and Marin County, CA. He is highly skilled in open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty techniques; the choice of technique depends on the patient’s concerns or medical needs. Rhinoplasty can address a crooked nose after injury, an overly wide nose, a dorsal hump, a bulbous tip, and more. Dr. Ransom also offers ethnic rhinoplasty, which preserves the patient’s ethnic or cultural nasal characteristics. Rhinoplasty can also be used to treat functional issues like breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum; this technique is referred to as septo-rhinoplasty or functional rhinoplasty. Dr. Ransom’s approach balances patient health and aesthetics, making him a trusted choice for cosmetic nose surgery in Palo Alto.

Cosmetic Lip Surgery in Palo Alto

Some people are born with naturally thin lips, while others have lips that thin out or elongate due to natural aging. Lip augmentation in Palo Alto can restore fuller lips to enhance your smile and balance out the proportions of the lower face. Dr. Ransom commonly performs lip augmentation with fat grafting instead of lip implants since this yields more natural-looking results and provides a safer option. He also offers the lip lift in Palo Alto for patients who want to smooth fine lines around the lips and subtly enhance the size of the upper lip. While surgical lip enhancement offers permanent results, patients may want to start with lip fillers for temporary, adjustable results.

Cosmetic Ear Surgery in Palo Alto

Otoplasty, or ear pinning surgery, can be performed on patients as young as eight years old in Palo Alto. This procedure addresses large or protruding ears, which can be a source of bullying for children. However, many adults also receive this procedure. Dr. Ransom also offers earlobe repair to address injuries caused by gauges or heavy earrings and earlobe reduction to address ears stretched over time or asymmetry in the ear lobes.

Cosmetic Brow and Eyelid Surgery in Palo Alto

Droopy upper eyelids, heavy under-eye bags, and wrinkles around the eyes can create an aged or tired appearance. Cosmetic eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty in Palo Alto can address these concerns. Upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty can be performed separately but are often combined for the best results. Dr. Ransom also offers a brow lift in Palo Alto for patients with heavy or drooping eyebrows and a forehead lift for deep forehead wrinkles and sagging forehead tissues.

Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments in Palo Alto

Some people do not wish to have facial surgery or might not be good surgical candidates. Dr. Ransom offers many non-surgical options, from dermal fillers and Botox to laser resurfacing and microneedling in Palo Alto. These treatments can address many concerns, including wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, dull skin tone, and more. We also recommend medical-grade skincare products from our Ransom/MD skincare line or Alastin Skincare to maintain results.
