Facial Cosmetic Surgery

Facial Cosmetic Surgery

The face is the fundamental element in characterizing an individual and can be the subject of aesthetic modification interventions to correct constitutional facial dysmorphisms (structural surgery) or to correct the signs of aging (anti-aging surgery). The delicate skin, constantly exposed to exogenous and endogenous factors, is marked by the passage of years, by the harmful effects of sun exposure and is a faithful reflection of the events, problems and sufferings that an individual faces during his life.

The defects that bother patients the most are:

• the appearance of wrinkles,
• skin sagging,
• pronounced physiological folds,
• accumulations of adipose tissue in the chin area
• flabbiness of the neck skin.

The face is, in fact, one of the parts of the body that a patient most often asks to modify. Indeed, few people are completely satisfied with their face. Often, patients are embarrassed, for example, by an aquiline nose, prominent ears or a receding chin. Cosmetic surgery can restore harmony, balance and luminosity to the face while respecting naturalness and proportions.

Facelift

This is the main cosmetic surgery procedure for contrasting facial aging. The technique consists of making incisions in the marginal areas of the face (along the hairline, in the scalp and behind the ears) and removing excess skin. The residual scars of the facelift are generally fine, straight and barely visible. The facelift is often associated with other procedures such as blepharoplasty to correct eyelid ptosis and eye bags and laser peeling to rejuvenate the skin surface.

If the facial skin sagging is partial, an operation to correct the specific part of the face can be performed. One can therefore use, for example, temporal lifting, neck lifting or cheek lifting.

Facial Lipofilling

Facial lipofilling, also called fat injection, is a surgical procedure that allows reshaping areas with your own fat instead of using a filler or implant. It is a very effective procedure because it is not very invasive and produces natural results.

Blepharoplasty

Aging of the skin in the eye area leads to a gradual sagging of the eyelids and the accumulation of periorbital fat (eye bags). The blepharoplasty procedure consists of removing excess skin tissue from the eyelids and small adipose hernias that form. To this end, the cosmetic surgeon makes small incisions along the fold of the upper eyelid and immediately below the lashes of the lower eyelid. The elimination of the imperfection “brightens” the gaze, weighed down by the sagging of the skin.

Rhinoplasty

This is one of the most sought-after operations in cosmetic surgery. It is a procedure that reshapes the profile and shape of the nose. With incisions located inside the nostrils, there are no visible scars. Rhinoplasty has a great influence on the harmony of the face. Indeed, the change in shape and size of the nose modifies the proportions of the entire face.

Genioplasty

Genioplasty is a suitable procedure to rebalance the proportions of the face in case the chin is too prominent or receding. The surgeon proceeds by an incision inside the buccal mucosa and therefore leaves no visible scar. For a too prominent chin, the surgeon removes part of the bone, while for a receding chin, he inserts a special silicone prosthesis or injects hyaluronic acid. In the latter case, the operation must be redone after a few months.

Otoplasty: Cosmetic Surgery for Prominent Ears

Otoplasty is a surgery recommended for patients with prominent ears. This defect is also present in pediatric age and the intervention can be performed in children from 4 years old. The surgeon makes an incision in the area behind the ear, then folds the cartilage.

Facial Cosmetic Surgery: How to Manage Scars

People resort to cosmetic surgery not only to improve the appearance of the face and body, but also to correct a congenital or acquired dysmorphia. Surgery necessarily leaves scars, so the length and position of the latter play an important role. Removing a slight imperfection leaving obvious scars is certainly a choice not to be made.

In facial cosmetic surgery, this subject is of paramount importance. Fortunately, in most facial procedures, surgeons manage to completely (or almost) hide the scars. The surgery that presents the most important scars is the facelift. In this intervention, scars are found:

• at the hairline,
• in the anterior fold of the ears
• in the posterior area along the hairline.

Some facial procedures do not “leave” obvious marks because the incisions are very small (for example, the liposuction cannula). When it is not possible to hide the incisions, the laser makes a valuable contribution. Indeed, the clean and precise cut of the laser allows better healing and finer healing.

Scalpel-Free Facial Cosmetic Surgery

Some facial cosmetic surgery procedures can be performed without subjecting the skin to scalpel incisions. Minimally invasive techniques for shaping the face are:

• Microsurgical tightening. This technique is very effective in obtaining a lifting effect without cutting the skin, but by producing very small skin incisions that induce healing that increases skin tone.
• Filling. Hyaluronic acid infiltrations allow the face to be shaped by increasing lip volume, increasing cheekbone prominence and filling superficial wrinkles. This filling product is the safest and most used in the world. Indeed, it does not require an allergy test and has no major side effects.
• Laser peeling. This is a laser technique for skin rejuvenation and wrinkle removal. It consists of evaporating the superficial layers of the skin to allow its reconstitution.
