Blepharoplasty is an aesthetic eyelid surgery that is performed on adults of varying ages. The reason for such an operation is because of the common complaints of the skin around the eyes.
This may include excess skin obscuring the natural fold of the upper eyelids, droopiness of the lower eyelids, or loose skin hanging down from the upper eyelids impairing vision. It may also be to take away a puffy appearance to the upper eyelids making the eyes look tired, excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelids, or bags and dark circles under the eyes.
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. This surgery is typically done on children between the ages of four and fourteen for aesthetic purposes.
Ears are almost fully grown by age four so you do not have to worry about the skin stretching during growth spurts later. Otoplasty on adults is also possible, and there are generally no additional risks associated with the procedure on older patients.
If you are considering otoplasty for yourself or for your child, you should meet with a doctor to discuss your options. Another common procedure, especially in women, is a face lift.
A facelift restores smoother, more pleasing contours to your face and neck. It can help you look as good as you feel and perhaps feel younger than you are.
A face lift essentially pulls the skin on your face to reduce any lines and wrinkles that result from aging. With all cosmetic surgery you should ask to look at previous work and references, but especially when dealing with the face, as it is more difficult to cover up if something goes drastically wrong.
Skin rejuvenation is an option to reduce any wrinkles in the facial area. Aging, sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle factors including nutrition, alcohol consumption, and smoking all may contribute to facial wrinkling.
Botox cosmetic surgery is a highly effective, non-surgical procedure that can dramatically reduce your toughest wrinkle within seven days. Unlike surgery, botox is fast, simple, and minimally invasive.
The most appealing part about botox is the fact that there is no downtime or recovery necessary afterwards. Injectable fillers are another, minimally invasive option that can reduce wrinkles.
As we age, our faces begin to show the effects of gravity, sun exposure, and years of facial muscle movement, such as smiling, chewing, and squinting. The underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful begin to break down, often leaving laugh lines, smile lines, crow's feet, or facial creases over the areas where this muscle movement occurs.
Soft-tissue fillers can help fill in these lines and creases, temporarily restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. When injected beneath the skin, these fillers plump up creased and sunken areas of the face.
Fillers are also used to add fullness to the lips and cheeks. Injectable fillers may be used alone or in conjunction with a resurfacing procedure.
Resurfacing procedures include laser treatment, or a re-contouring procedure, such as a facelift. Body contouring is a way to remove small pockets of fat on otherwise normal weight individuals.
Liposuction is particularly well-suited for women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. These localized fat deposits may sometimes be an inherited trait and typically do not respond to dieting or exercise.
These areas are typically on the hips, thighs, or arms. Liposuction is often the only way to eliminate these problem areas.
While it is possible to undergo liposuction at almost any age, you will obtain the best results if your skin still has enough elasticity to achieve a smooth contour following fat removal. This is not, however, a procedure that is meant for young children.
When skin is inelastic, as in some older patients, it may not conform back to the body well. This will cause excess skin to hang for the body, which means a skin tightening procedure may be necessary.
