Restructuring, as well as the procedures for facial rejuvenation that are next to it, such as eyelid surgery and face lifts are still the only viable option to restore a youthful appearance to the bottom of the face and neck. A facelift can tighten the skin and muscles and remove excess fat or replacement to eliminate sagging. The highest degree of improvement is usually seen in the jowls, lower face and neck. Reversal of facial aging is not achieved through the reorganization of surgical excision of skin and tissue alone.
Facelift procedures are constantly evolving and the concept of facial rejuvenation has evolved to include more than a renewal, not just pulling the skin tight. With the removal of the face configuration, substitution or addition of soft tissue, instead of strengthening the muscles and skin is considered the only key to achieving optimal results in facial rejuvenation.
Facelift surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Your hair is held back with rubber bands during surgery, but the hair does not need to be shaved. Traditional facelift incisions usually begin above the hair at the temples and go a long line in front of the ear or inside the cartilage at the front of the ear, behind the ear and back into the scalp.
Another small incision is often made under the chin to tackle the neck. We separate the skin from the fat and muscle below. The fascia of the muscle is stronger, along with the platysma muscle in the neck and removes excess fat. After deep tissues are tightened, excess skin is pulled back and then cut.
The incisions are closed with points and / or staples in the scalp. Apply a bandage to protect the entire area. Most people can return home after surgery or stay in hospital, the first night.
Rhinoplasty can be used to improve the shape of the nose is in proportion with other facial features, including performance issues and breathing barriers and traumatic injuries. In assessing the nose, give consideration to both the front view and profile, as well as the shape and projection of the chin, cheeks and upper lip.
We recommend that patients who wait often until they are at least 16 years of age and possibly for older children, before undergoing rhinoplasty. The nose can not be fully developed at an early age. Assuming that you are in good health there is no age limit for having your nose reshaped. With age, severity and the decrease of the support structures of the nose, the shape and position of the nose, ultimately, change.
The nose may appear longer and longer tip droops, then, is not unusual nasal improvements made at the time of an expensive procedure or later in life. A simple lifting of the tip of the nose may lead to a younger and more attractive. And see the pictures before after rhinoplasty.
The most common complaints related to the aesthetics of the nose: the nose is too big for his face, there is a slowdown in the nasal bridge, the profile is out of proportion, the nose, when it seems too wide from the point of view face, the tip droops downward, the tip is too thick, the nostrils are too burned, and the nose is wrong.
Modern rhinoplasty techniques allow us many more options for reshaping the nose. Some are designed to be extended, increased or reduced for the best aesthetic result. Much of the rhinoplasties today are revisionary done to improve the operations of a previous surgical outcome.
The main limitations in terms of what to expect as a result of a rhinoplasty procedure have to do with your skin type, skin thickness, the thickness and position of your nasal bones and the skill of the surgeon you select. Will examine carefully all the options at the time of consultation.
Droopy eyelids or puffy lower eyelids often in families, and are so common in men as in women. Adipose tissue protruding eye sockets because bags can be a hereditary characteristic that appears early in life, as the result of aging.
Clarifies the skin of the eyelid and a stretch, since ages, and is released over time, weakens the muscles, fat and cushions the eyeball moves around the eyes. Swelling occurs when a pad of fat that cushions the eye begins to exit the bone at the bottom of the eye and sags. Gravity has its effects on the eyes too. Sagging upper eyelids can lead to the upper eyelid hooding where heavier and wider.
Blepharoplasty can reduce or hooded Droopy eyelids, to restore the contour of the hood and remove the fat bulging bags under the eyes. In some cases, surgery can correct severe eyelid hooding of upper eyelids called ptosis, which may obstruct peripheral vision and reduce the range of vision upward.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. The incision usually extends to the foot of the crow, where the existing lines. The most common methods of achieving lower Blepharoplasty is the traditional approach, sometimes called a flap of muscle, skin, and the transconjunctival approach.
For the traditional approach, to make an incision in the lower lashes to be as inconspicuous as possible. Lift the skin and muscles to remove a small amount of fat. Excess skin and muscle are then cut from the lower eyelid. If you have a pocket of fat under your lower eyelids but do not have loose skin, a transconjunctival Blepharoplasty can be used. This method uses an incision hidden inside the lower eyelid, which leaves no visible external scars.
Through this incision, excess fat is trimmed. The incision is closed with self-dissolving sutures or left to heal by itself. A procedure for locking lid can also be done at the same time, if there is muscle relaxation. The transconjunctival technique combined with chemical peels or laser resurfacing to tighten and smooth skin.
Deep tear troughs or grooves that are formed when there is a clear demarcation between the cheek and lower eyelid can be improved by moving fatty deposits, the removal of excess fat or fat substitutes.
Blepharoplasty of upper eyelid, make an incision through the eyelid fold elliptical, and in natural folds of the skin. Surgeons to draw a line to determine the lower edge of the skin to be excised, which will be the scar remains. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed with a thin strip of muscle definition eyelids several times.
The incision is closed with a single layer of sutures, usually hides the scar on the nature of the upper eyelids time. In some cases, a transconjunctival approach can be used for the upper eyelids. This procedure leaves no visible scar and a small amount of fat can be removed from the upper eyelid.

    I chose the technique as considering the skin redundancy. Usually under the age of 50, i prefere endoscopic mid-face lifting. For the patients with redundant skin, i use traditional facelift.
