Facial Procedures

Years ago there used to be a “facelift”, and that was all. It often gave that look of permanent surprise that is sometimes still associated with the idea of having a facelift.

You can still get a facelift, but many medical breakthroughs have happened in the last 20 years or so, which have refined facial rejuvenation techniques. Also, now you can choose from a variety of more specific facial procedures, customizing and combining them according to your individual needs.

General reasons for facial procedures

• To restore the youthful appearance of your face and neck
• To plump out the shape and contours of your cheeks
• To smooth sagging and wrinkles due to loss of skin elasticity
• To correct discoloration due to sun damage and age
• To restore the natural firmness of your jawline
• To improve specific features such as eyelids, nose, lips, and chin, both relative to age-related changes and to inborn conditions

Some popular facial procedures you can mix and match

• Rhinoplasty –a re-shaping of your nose, to make it smaller, straighter, slimmer, etc.
• Blepharoplasty – (eyelid surgery), treatment of the upper and/or lower eyelids to remove sagging and puffiness, or to give a more open-eyed look
• Otoplasty – re-shaping of the ears so that they line up more parallel to the sides of the head
• Lip enhancement – increasing the fullness of the lips and improving shape using various injectable fillers, fat or implants
• Browlift – lifting and tightening of the forehead and eyebrows to give an open less tired look to the eyes and a smoother brow
• Neck liposuction – removal of the pad of fat which accumulates under the chin as we age, and extra fat in the neck generally
• Chin implant – gives the chin more prominence in the overall facial structure
• Laser skin resurfacing – a laser technique for removing fine wrinkles, discoloration and leatheriness from sun damage, small scars, etc.
• Injectable fillers – such as Restylane, Juviderm, and Radiesse, which plump out areas like the lips and improve various wrinkles and folds in the forehead and around the mouth
• Botox – injectable that relaxes forehead muscles improving frown lines and crow feet around the eyes.
