Facial Surgery and Non-Surgical Rejuvenation Procedures

 

 

What is Facial Rejuvenation?

Faces are our expression to the world of who we are. As we age however, our reflection in the mirror may not match the image we hold of ourselves or the image we want to present to the world. This can adversely affect our self-esteem and feeling of self-confidence.

A facial lift can reduce the signs of aging.Facial aging can affect our appearance in many different ways. Forehead wrinkles and furrows between our eyebrows portray an angry or pensive expression. Hooding of the upper eyelids and bags under the eyes express a tired appearance. Deep creases on the sides of the nose and mouth, and loose neck skin show the effects of time and aging on our faces. Fine wrinkles, uneven coloring and a ruddy complexion demonstrate the effects of sun damage on our faces. These permanent stigmata of facial aging may cause friends and family to ask if you are tired, angry or upset. When this occurs, your appearance is no longer reflecting the energy and vitality you still possess.

Facial plastic surgery enables us to change the way we look, and therefore how we feel about ourselves. Because our faces are the most visible parts of our bodies, facial rejuvenation in particular can make a significant improvement in our self-perception and public perception.

There is a wide array of facial lift treatment options. Each person’s rejuvenative needs are different. Face surgery procedures include: face lift, brow lift, ear pinning surgery, eyelid surgery, Asian eyelid revision, neck lift, nose surgery, and chin/cheek implants. Facial non-surgical options include botox, chemical peels, collagen injections, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing and spider vein treatment.

For most facial lift patients, a combination of procedures yields the best results. Whether surgical or non-surgical methods of treatment are used, the objectives of facial rejuvenation are to restore a youthful appearance, maintain facial harmony and balance, and achieve an enhanced sense of well-being.
