Cosmetic Surgeries—Options For Your Face

Approximately 2 million people will undergo cosmetic surgeries just this year alone. While the vast majority opts for breast augmentations, facial procedures comprise a large portion of that statistic as well. This article will discuss the many methods for enhancing and restoring the appearance of the face.

Cosmetic surgeries are an effective way to transform your look into what you’ve always wished for, or to regain what has been lost over time through the aging process. Many of the facial procedures available are now minimally invasive and a lot less complex than the methods from a decade ago.

Botox serves as a preventative measure against aging and laser skin resurfacing is becoming a popular alternative for a traditional facelift for mild aging damage. Injectible fillers are gaining momentum for wrinkle treatment and other plumping injections are taking the place of actual facial implants.

It’s easy to see how cosmetic surgeries don’t always have to involve an actual surgical procedure. These more economical methods of enhancing one’s appearance are allowing even middle-income patients access to their benefits.

Eyelid, eyebrow and forehead lifts are available to reverse the toll that age and allergies has taken in the eye and upper face regions. All are simple techniques that are performed on an outpatient basis and sometimes even done only under local or twilight anesthesia.

Due to the simplicity of the methods, recovery is drastically shortened in comparison to more complex surgical techniques of years ago. Eye area techniques can be paired with other procedures for a more customized reconstruction and allow a more awake, rested and wide-eyed look.

Rhinoplasties, or nose jobs are also outpatient procedures that assist in reshaping the nose to create a more uniform, straight appearance.

Lower face and neck enhancements are common among women wishing to reduce jowls and excess neck skin. Chin and cheek implants can be placed during this type of procedure but the lift on its own yields effective results that patients are very happy with. Patients often report that with this technique, a full neck job is not necessary, further shortening recovery time and minimizing room for complications.

Cosmetic surgeries are available to restore self-esteem and pride. Often with a renewed confidence comes a new outlook on life in general. For more information on how you can enhance or restore your appearance with plastic surgery, call your surgeon today to schedule a consultation.
