Cosmetic Surgery Questions Part 2

Ever wondered about cosmetic surgery but were too afraid to ask? Here are some common questions answered by a facial plastic surgeon.

Cosmetic surgery is a rapidly growing field. Not too far in the distant past, people were not willing to discuss anything they may have had done. Today, with more media attention, more people are open to share their experiences. Still, there are some who would like more information about plastic surgery but are afraid to ask. This article will focus on several questions surrounding facial cosmetic surgery.

Will I lose my hair?

While hair loss around the time of any surgery can occur, most people do not lose hair during cosmetic surgery procedures. At times, incisions may need to be made in the hairline and this can cause some local hair loss along the incision line. If this should occur, further procedures can be performed to correct the problem rather easily.

I don’t want a windblown look after surgery!

Face lift surgery has been known to cause a windblown look. This is often due to overstretching of the skin and sometimes because the patient has requested a certain procedure to fix other signs of aging. A trained and experienced cosmetic surgeon in facelift procedures should not produce a windblown or pulled look after facelift procedures though. The key to any facelift procedure is to pull the deep structures up nice and tight to reverse the effect that long term gravity has had on them. Then simple redraping of the skin is needed and the windblown look is avoided.

How can I prevent bruising?

Bruising is an inevitable part of any surgical or sometime minimally invasive procedure. This is often variable and cannot be predicted. Certain medications can increase the propensity to bruise and certain over the counter herbal supplements can also increase the propensity to bruise. It is very important to speak with your experienced cosmetic surgeon about all of the medication and supplements you are taking before any procedure. Be sure to speak with your doctor before stopping any prescription medications.
