Published Author
Dr. Freeman has authored many chapters in peer reviewed journals and books in his field. These include book chapters on blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and face lift surgery, among others. In 1996, he published one of the first articles on the use of the carbon dioxide laser in the book, Facial Plastics Surgery Clinics of North America.
He was also one of the pioneers of minimal incision techniques and, also in 1996, authored one of the first papers on the subject entitled "The Role of Endoscopy in Facial Plastic Surgery." Dr. Freeman was the associate editor and contributor to one of the first books published about this new area, entitled "Endoscopic Facial Plastic Surgery," published by Mosby in 1997. He has authored many other publications on cosmetic lasers and minimal incision techniques.
His published works include areas where he has been a true innovator in his field. In 1997, his publication entitled "Endoscopic Malar Pad Lift" in Facial Plastics Surgery Clinics of North America propelled the ability to improve the results of facelift surgery in the midface. In 2000, Dr. Freeman introduced the "Transconjunctival Lower Lid Blepharoplasy with SOOF," which described a new technique for improving the results of lower eyelid surgery.
Teacher and Lecturer
Dr. Freeman's early adoption of minimal incision facial aesthetic surgery and his years of experience have made him a sought-after teacher and lecturer in the United States and overseas. His laser expertise has been recognized by his peers. He is the past Medical Director of Hemangioma Newsline and has taught physicians over the years how to manage children with hemangiomas and vascular malformations.
He helped organize and teach the first several courses on endoscopic surgery given by the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery to aid in enlightening their physicians about the nature of minimally invasive facial plastic surgery. His reputation extends overseas as well in this area of facial plastic surgery having been a guest lecturer on endoscopic facial plastic surgery in Germany and Spain.
His innovative new techniques have also made him a valued speaker. He has taught multiple courses in the USA as well as Europe on his novel approach to improving the appearance of the lower lid and midface: the Transconjunctival Lower Lid Blepharoplasy with SOOF.
Rhinoplasty Expertise
Dr. Freeman is considered one of the Southeast's foremost rhinoplasty surgeons. His extensive surgical experience in cosmetic facial surgery has resulted in an operative experience that is difficult to match. He considers rhinoplasty to be the most artistic of all the procedures he performs and prides himself on providing naturally beautiful results that blend with the patient's other facial features.
Non-Surgical Skill
Dr. Freeman also has more experience than many other facial cosmetic surgeons in Charlotte, NC and the surrounding area when it comes to administering non-surgical treatments. He skillfully treats spider veins, brown spots, unwanted tattoos or fine lines and wrinkles with medical strength lasers. If forehead wrinkles and crow's feet bother you, Dr. Freeman has years of experience using BOTOX® Cosmetic to help these areas. He has even developed a technique he calls the "BOTOX Browlift" to treat wrinkles in this area as well as lift the lateral brow. If acne scarring is a concern, Dr. Freeman uses liquid silicone by means of a microdrop method to permanently improve these areas right in the office with no down time.
Due to Dr. Freeman's extensive expertise and experience with soft tissue fillers, he is part of the Medical Education Faculty for BioForm™ Medical. Soft tissue fillers such as Restylane® and RADIESSE® can be used to enhance the shape of lips, improve deep frown lines, and fill-in other soft tissue deficits – right in the office during your first appointment. Using his experience in this area, Dr. Freeman can offer patients an alternative to surgical facelifting. This approach, referred to as the "liquid facelift," uses injectable fillers to enhance facial appearance without the downtime of surgery.
