Facial
Cosmetic Surgeries
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Corrects sagging or drooping eyelids
and/or bags and bulges around the eyes, by removing
excess skin and fat if necessary.
Facelift (Rhytidectormy)
There's no escaping it, as we grow
older, signs of aging begin to appear especially in
the facial area. These include fine lines, wrinkles,
deep creases, a jowly jawline, and others. A facelift
can offer a solution to these problems. Now a facelift
cannot keep your face from aging. What a facelift
can do is restore a more youthful appearance to your
facial appearance. The procedure reduces the appearance
of the most visible signs of aging.
During the facelift procedure,
excess fat is removed and underlying muscles are tightened
and the remaining facial skin is redraped. This results
in a firmer and fresher appearance. These results
are dramatic or subtle, depending on the current facial
appearance. Now since each individual has his or her
own unique facial features, the results vary with
each individual. Facelifts are considered to be very
individualized procedures.
The results of the facelift surgery
can last anywhere from five to ten years, this also
varies with each patient. As the years pass, your
face will continue to age. Those who want to continue
presenting a more youthful appearance can choose to
repeat the procedure.

Otoplasty (Shaping of the ear)
Ear surgery, or Otoplasty, is a
procedure that can reduce or completely remove the
appearance of protruding ears. This surgical procedure
is designed to bring the ears closer to the head,
or to reduce the size of the ears. This procedure
is especially helpful for young children in helping
them avoid having to endure teasing and ridicule from
others. The ears are almost fully grown when children
reach the age of 4 and this is the age most children
can begin having this operation. Ear surgery can be
performed on adults as well, with no additional risks
involved.
During the procedure the surgeon
makes a small incision in the back of the ear to expose
the ear cartilage. The cartilage is then sculpted,
and bent back toward the head. Stitches may be used
to help maintain the ear's new shape. Other techniques
are used to improve upon the appearance of the ears.
Consult with your cosmetic surgeon and ask about the
technique they use for ear surgery. Ear surgery results
in more natural-looking ears that lie flatter against
the head and appear more normal.
However to gain a complete and thorough
understanding about ear surgery, please consult with
a cosmetic surgeon.
Rhinoplasty (Nose surgery)
Rhinoplasty is a procedure that
restructures the nose in order to improve its appearance
and function. Rhinoplasty can be performed as either
an aesthetic procedure, basically re-shaping of the
nose to improve its appearance. It can also be performed
as reconstructive nasal surgery, which means correcting
birth defects and disfigurements that are result of
injury. Rhinoplasty can also relieve nasal obstruction
and improve one's breathing. There are many ways in
which a nose can be altered through rhinoplasty, including
reducing or increasing the size of the nose, changing
the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrowing the
span of the nostrils, or changing the angle between
the nose and the upper lip. Consult with a cosmetic
surgeon as to what can be done to improve the nose's
appearance and function.
This particular procedure has become
one of the most requested ones today and many of these
individual have their own reasons for wanting rhinoplasty.
However, in any situation, the individual must have
realistic expectations about their operation. The
individual must also note that the cosmetic surgery
is meant to achieve improvement and not perfection.
However if you are considering rhinoplasty,
to get all the answers you need to make a well-informed
decision, please consult with a cosmetic surgeon.
