The face lift procedure has many components as well as compliments.
There are brow lifts, mid lifts, mini lifts, and of course the full
lifts. Each process requires its own intricate manipulation of the
arrangement of muscles within the human face. Through minimized
incisions in the upper hair line or around the ears, muscles are
repositioned, cut, and secured for optimal lift. The compliments for
these surgical procedures include liposuction and implant placement,
which are commonly referred to as procedures for the body, but there are
smaller more delicate devices and techniques to bring smooth desirable
results. In addition, there are a couple of more common surgeries that
accompany the face lift. These surgeries include the eye lift and
rhinoplasty.
The surgical compliments to the face lift require specialization apart
from the normal procedure. The eye lift is usually a compliment to the
brow/forehead lift or full lift. It is completed by making small
incisions hidden in the natural folds and creases of the eye. A thin
strip of skin is removed and a new tighter upper and/or lower lid is
formed. Conversely, a rhinoplasty makes use of opening the superficial
nasal area with incisions to the base of the nose and nostrils. It
provides alterations by smoothing, aligning, or reshaping the bone and
or cartilage of the nose for a slimmer, smoother shape or more desirable
size for one’s face. A rhinoplasty can be a dramatic compliment, but
there is also the CoolLipo liposuction for the face and neck as well as
the addition of facial implants. You may make the requests but your
physician will offer his or her professional recommendations of cheek or
chin implants to add youthful and more structured volume if you are
loosing it to reduced fat, sagging muscles, or smaller bones in the
face. During your initial consultation, your doctor will be able to
inform you as to how many procedures he or she will be able to perform
in one surgery based on their specialization(s) and training. In order
to get the best results non-surgical procedures are available as well
for the treatment of the skin.
Non-surgical face lift compliments include injectables, chemical and
laser peels as well as microderm abrasion. The injectable options
include Botox for a temporary weakening of muscular expression, to
diminish deep wrinkle formation. Deep wrinkles and depressions of the
face are due to fat loss. This can also be treated with facial filler
solutions such as Juvederm. Further, resurfacing goes beyond the laser
treatments with glycolic acid based chemical peels that can be used to
cleanse the face to minimize pores, diminish fine lines; and remove the
dry, damaged, or spotty outermost dermis. Mircorderm abrasion is also
considered for this treatment. It is used much like home exfoliating
methods except it is medical grade and should only be used sparingly
because it does make the skin more sensitive to the sun’s rays. The
re-surfacing compliments of non-surgical treatments are recommended to
be administered several days after your surgical procedure in order to
allow your skin to settle.
All of the face lift compliments are designed and executed to help you
look and feel your best. The surgeries are no longer a cut and pull
method. The science of plastic surgery understands the muscular puzzle
of the inner face and work within that system to gently bring back your
smoother, toned face one step at a time.
