|
As we get older, the natural aging process, genetic factors, and environmental exposure cause the skin to wrinkle and sag. In response to this, rhytidectomy (or Facelift) has been developed to
correct these conditions and give people the youthful appearance they desire. Each procedure is tailored to the individual patient, and by tightening face, neck, and jowl area and removing loose
tissue and tightening the underlying muscles, facial rejuvenation can be accomplished. This procedure can be performed in conjunction with other facial cosmetic surgeries. Continue reading about

The contour of the skin around the eyes conveys expression. With the passage of time, wrinkles, deep lines and puffiness of the eyelids begin to develop, giving marked changes in expression and
causing a tired and/or older appearance, Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) can correct sagging eyelids, pouches beneath the eyes, and excess folds around the eyes. Depending on each individual patient,
different and specific procedures are employed to rejuvenate the ocular area.

This procedure is designed to raise the eyebrows and reduce ridges and furrows on the forehead. It is often performed in conjunction with eyelid lift to achieve a total rejuvenation of the upper face.

| Fat Transplantation |
|
Development of deep furrows in the skin of the face is often an indication of the aging process. Correction of these furrows and wrinkles can be achieved by autologous fat transfer, whereby fat is
removed from one area of the body and placed underneath the wrinkle (or furrow) to fill out the contour deformity. This can be done to recontour the face, enhance the cheek and chin, and correct
facial or body deformities. Today, there are artificial filling materials that perform essentially the same function, but only fat can achieve a permanent correction.

|
Facial scarring, wrinkles around the lip, and acne pitting are causes of distress, since they are viewed as both disfiguring as well as indication of aging. Facial dermabrasion is a surgical procedure
in which the affected areas are “sanded” with a rotary abrasive instrument. The planing action evens out the skin to give a smoother, more pleasing contour.
