About Facial Procedures
Face Lift
A facelift is a common cosmetic surgery procedure that can dramatically reverse the effects that aging have on particular areas of the face and neck region. The facelift operation is designed to tighten and reposition the sagging tissues of the cheeks, jaw line, jowls, and neck. This procedure is often combined with other cosmetic procedures to rejuvenate or enhance the appearance of the eyes, forehead, chin, or cheekbones to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Incisions are made within the hairline above and behind the ear, and in the natural creases area just in front of the ear. The incisions are carefully placed to minimize noticeable scarring. The loose and wrinkled skin and deeper muscles of the face and neck are then redraped and tightened. Excess skin is removed, and if required excess fat can be suctioned at the same time (often from the neck area). The result is a younger looking patient with smoother, tighter skin on the face and neck.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat--usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision. However, it won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. While it can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift.

Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
