Plastic Surgery For The Face

When you get to a certain age, you might notice the looks and signs of aging. This usually includes droopiness and sagging to the face, pronounced wrinkles around the eyes, and a floppy neck. You may look at your self in the mirror and say, “When did this happen!” You think to yourself, “I still feel years younger. I’m still at the top of my game and full of energy.” When you feel it’s time for a serious change to help you in your career or just feel better and more confident in your personal life, it’s time to start considering plastic surgery procedures for your face.

There are three main kinds of surgical procedures for your face. They include a facelift, an eyelift, and a neck lift. These are procedures that specifically target the signs of aging by removing excess skin weighed down over time my gravity, repairing soft tissue and muscles, and smoothing out what lies underneath the skin for an even look once the incisions are closed. There is so specific age that tells you it’s time – you just have to look in the mirror and make the commitment for surgery.

Face Lift

Face lift plastic surgery is the most common. On your initial consultation with your doctor, you will discuss what it is you want to accomplish and determine whether you are healthy enough to undergo the procedure. The procedure includes making an incision close to the jaw line, work underneath to repair muscles and soft tissue, and then a gentle lifting the skin to stretch it into place before remove the excess skin and closing the incision. The entire process from surgery through recovery takes about 2-3 weeks. Because the incisions are small they are hardly noticeable, but you may experience some bruising and swelling. Otherwise it’s a fairly painless process and the results are dramatic. 

Eye lift

For many, they are less concerned about their face and more concerned about their eyes. Eye lifts can change the look of droopy, heavily wrinkled eyes and give patients a youthful, refreshed look. Sometimes this droopyness can be so pronounced that surgery is required so that you can properly see. The incisions are made at the natural creases on the upper and lower lid. Like a face lift, excess skin is removed and tissues are repaired. The recovery from this kind of plastic surgery is around ten days.

Neck Lift

Excess skin on the neck can be just as embarrassing as excess on the eyes and face. What’s great is that a neck lift is one of the easiest complimentary procedures to go along with a face lift. It is simple because the incision necessary to repair and remove excess from your face is just slightly longer to care of your neck. This combination of plastic surgery procedures can be combined in a single setting, making it extremely convenient for you. 

Now that you’ve learned the range of procedures that can be done to revitalize your face, talk to a plastic surgeon to discuss your candidacy. Many offer free consultations so you can iron out all your questions and concerns and find the right professional to work with.
