Face Surgery and Facial Procedures

About Facial Surgery and Facial Procedures

Facial surgery refers to the process of molding or reforming parts of the face to correct deformities or deal damages brought by birth defects, injuries, or diseases. Facial surgery can also be used for aesthetic purposes, which concerns with improving the physical look or appearance of the face. In fact, modern cosmetic procedures offer sophisticated methods for restructuring the cheeks, nose, chin, brows, and other parts of the face that need to be enhanced.

Facial surgery is also known as facial cosmetic surgery and facial plastic surgery, The word plastic comes from plastikos, a Greek word that means to mold or give a form.

Face Lift

Also known as rhytidectomy, a face lift surgery is a facial cosmetic procedure that aims to get rid of telltale signs of aging, minimize facial wrinkles, and enhance the overall appearance of the face, particularly the section of the jaws. It often involves anesthesia, incisions on specific locations of the face, and alteration of particular facial structures that need a more enhanced and better look. Because this facial surgery can help reverse the destructive effects of stress, time, and other outside elements, it generally costs pricey and may not be afforded by many.

Eye Bag Removal

Do the bags hanging below your eyes making you feel uncomfortable and unpleasing to other people? Then, you may want to opt for an eye bag removal procedure.

Medically called blepharoplasty, eye bag removal or eyelid surgery is among the most popular cosmetic procedures available. It is a surgical procedure that involves removing fat, along with excess muscle and skin, from the upper or lower lids of the eye. Eye bag removal surgery can also reduce the puffiness of the eyes and lift drooping upper eyelids. It can be done alone or together with other facial surgical procedures like face lift or brow lift.

Rhinoplasty

Coming from the Latin word rhino (which means nose) and Greek word plasty (which means molding or forming), Rhinoplasty is a medical cosmetic procedure that involves reshaping of the nose for reconstructive or aesthetic purposes. It is more commonly called as “nose job”.

Depending on the demands of the patient, rhinoplasty can either alter the shape of the nose tip for a more enhanced effect or reduce its size if it isn’t proportional to the overall shape and contour of the face. It can also modify the angle between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip. In cases of abnormalities or injuries, rhinoplasty can also restore the proper function of the nose and the nasal cavities.

Otoplasty

Are your ears too far from your face? Do you feel very much uncomfortable with their positioning? It is not a hopeless case. Otoplasty may be the answer to your ear problem.

Otoplasty is a facial cosmetic procedure that sets back and adjusts prominent ears closer to the face. This surgical procedure can be performed to both children and adult alike without any risks involved. Even children as young as four years old can undergo this treatment, so as to correct their facial features as early as possible. Otoplasty can greatly help enhance the way one look and boost his or her confidence level.

Alar Trimming

Also called alarplasty, Alar trimming is a facial surgical procedure that helps improve the contour and the definition of a part of the nose called the nasal alar lobule area. It is commonly performed to patients with flaring alar lobule and wide nostril. Depending on the preference and comfort level of both the cosmetic surgeon and the patient, this facial operation can be done either under anesthesia or through the use of intravenous sedation, and should last for 45 minutes to 1 hour only. After the procedure, there might be minimal swelling that would subside after one to three weeks.

Brow Lift

Also known as the forehead lift, brow lift is a facial cosmetic surgery procedure that involves raising the eyebrows to a higher or a more aesthetic position. It also aims to improve lateral hoods or the hanging flaps of skin hanging over the outer corner of the eyes. Plastic surgery on the forehead can also soften and alleviate the horizontal wrinkles on the forehead and the scowl lines between the eyebrows. Be informed though that a brow lift will not treat or improve puffy eyes, baggy eyelids, or crow’s feet. For these facial problems, it is best to consider wrinkle treatments or eyelid surgery.

Cheek Enhancement

Cheek enhancement is a facial procedure that improves the appearance of the cheeks that might have been damaged or deformed due to aging. Because as people age, the fullness of the cheeks tends to disappear and minor jowlings along the jaw line develop. With a quick procedure of cheek enhancement that usually involves application of topical cream and injection of dermal filler, the buccal fat pad over the cheeks will be restored and the jowlings along the jaw line will subtly be reduced. The procedures for cheek enhancements usually take an hour or two and the results are instant.

Hair Transplant

Are you balding? Having problems with hair loss? Then, hair transplantation might be the answer to your hair problems!

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure primarily used to treat baldness among men and some women. It basically involves transferring skins or grafts that contain hair follicles from one part of the head (called the donor site) to the balding part (called the recipient site). While hair transplant is more popularly used with the balding of the head, it is also being utilized to restore eye brows, eyelashes, and beard hair. Note that hair transplantation is different from skin grafting.

Dimple Creation

Do you know that it is surgically possible to create dimples on your cheeks? If you want those cute little dimples appearing on your face each time you smile, then it is best that you undergo dimple creation surgery.

Often done simply and straightforward, dimple creation is a cosmetic procedure that simulates the naturally occurring process of dimple development. It usually involves making small incision in the inside of the cheeks, thus scars on the outside skin will not be visible. A small absorbable suture will then be passed through the inside of the cheeks, catching the undersurface of the skin where the dimple is to be created.

Facial Implants

Unsatisfied with the overall outline of your face? Do you feel that you lack certain elements on your chin, cheek, or jaw? Worry not, because you can always undergo facial implants!

Facial implants are surgical treatments that opt to correct the contour of the face. They are used to augment, enhance, or even enlarge the facial boundaries. There are different types of facial implants, depending on the part of the face that needs to be augmented, such as chin implant, cheek implant, and jaw implant.

Forehead Lift

A forehead lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of the forehead and removes the saggy areas of the forehead skin, the eyebrows, and even the upper eyelids. These are done by removing or altering the muscles and skins that make the signs of aging visible, such as hooding eyelids, drooping eyebrows, and frown lines and furrows in the forehead. Often done in a surgeon’s office, hospital, or a surgery center, the forehead lift is usually performed in conjunction with other surgical procedures such as face lift, nose reshaping, or eyelid surgery.
