Facial Procedures
Facelift
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face and neck by reducing signs of aging. It involves tightening the skin, removing excess fat, and repositioning underlying tissues to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. Recovery usually involves swelling and bruising, with full results visible after several weeks. The effects of a facelift can last for many years, making it a popular anti-aging solution.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure to reshape or resize the nose. It can correct structural defects, improve breathing, or enhance aesthetic appearance. The procedure involves modifying bone, cartilage, and skin as needed. Recovery typically includes swelling and bruising, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks. Rhinoplasty results are long-lasting and can significantly improve facial harmony and self-confidence.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure to correct droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. It can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids, or both. The surgery helps improve vision obstructed by sagging skin and gives a more youthful, alert appearance. Recovery involves swelling and bruising, with full results visible within a few months. Blepharoplasty is popular for rejuvenating tired-looking eyes.
Ear Reconstruction
Ear reconstruction is a complex surgical procedure to rebuild or repair the ear's structure due to congenital deformities, trauma, or cancer. Techniques include using rib cartilage or synthetic implants to recreate the ear's shape. Multiple surgeries are often required for optimal results. Recovery varies depending on the extent of reconstruction. This procedure aims to restore both appearance and function, significantly improving a patient's quality of life and self-esteem.
Ear Lobe Repair
Ear lobe repair is a minor surgical procedure to correct torn, stretched, or deformed ear lobes, often caused by heavy earrings, trauma, or gauges. The surgery involves excising the damaged tissue and suturing the lobe to restore its natural shape. Recovery is quick, with minimal downtime and sutures typically removed within a week. The procedure effectively rejuvenates the ear's appearance and allows for future ear piercings.
Facial Implants
Facial implants are surgical devices used to enhance or reconstruct facial contours. Commonly made of silicone or other biocompatible materials, they are placed in areas like the cheeks, chin, or jaw to improve symmetry and proportion. The procedure involves creating an incision and positioning the implant securely. Recovery includes swelling and bruising, with full results visible within a few months. Facial implants offer long-lasting aesthetic improvements and facial harmony.
Neck Lift
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening underlying muscles. This surgery addresses sagging, wrinkles, and double chin issues. Recovery involves swelling and bruising, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks. The results are long-lasting, providing a smoother, more youthful neck contour and enhanced overall appearance.
Thread Lift
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses temporary sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. Special threads with barbs are inserted under the skin to provide a subtle lift and stimulate collagen production. Recovery is quick, with minimal downtime and immediate results that improve over several months. While not as dramatic as a facelift, a thread lift offers a refreshed, youthful appearance with less risk and cost.
