Facial surgery is commonly performed to reduce the signs of ageing and to improve the appearance of facial features. The stresses of daily life and continuous exposure to sun can over time cause damage to the skin, especially around the face.
Most people undergo facial surgery to either correct a physical abnormality or enhance their appearance. Facial Surgery is commonly divided into four main categories i.e.
face lift, nose surgery,
brow lift and
eyelid surgery. A brief description of each one is given below:
Face lift
cosmetic surgery is usually performed by making an incision above the hairline alongside one under the chin to reshape the neck skin. The surgery involves both removal of excess skin and tightening of facial skin to give the patient a more youthful appearance. Facelift surgery can be combined with brow lift surgery, eyelid surgery and/or nose surgery. A facelift normally takes around 2-3 hours to perform but may take longer if combined with other facial cosmetic surgery procedures...
Cosmetic Nose surgery (also commonly known as
Rhinoplasty) involves reshaping the nose to create a more pleasing look. Nose surgery is also commonly performed to correct breathing problems, fix birth defects and damage caused by injury. Nose surgery usually takes around one to two hours to perform but this can naturally vary depending on the exact nature of the procedure.
Brow lift surgery, also known as a ‘Forehead lift’ is performed to smoothen out the muscles that cause frown lines on the forehead. Alongside being able to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, brow lift surgery can also be used to correct the appearance of drooping eyebrows which are often a result of the natural ageing process
Eyelid surgery involves enhancement of the area around the eyes. This procedure removes excess fat, tissues and muscles from the upper & lower eyelids to attain a more appealing look. After Eyelid Surgery many people often notice a marked reduction in puffiness & droopiness beneath the eyes caused by ageing.
An interesting fact is that not only women but men are now also commonly choosing to have facial surgery. However, if you are considering having Facial Surgery make sure you research thoroughly into the procedure that you are thinking about having and consult with a good surgeon who specialises in facial surgery so that you can make a well informed decision.
