Facial Plastic SurgeryOverview of Face Lifts, Rhinoplasty, Chin and Cheek Implants and moreFace aesthetics are important to people of all ages. There are a variety of procedures available to enhance or correct the different areas of the face. The following information will help guide you in your quest for facial surgery. Younger people tend to seek plastic surgery of the face and change their basic appearance. Examples of this include rhinoplasty (nose surgery), chin implants and cheek implants. Each of these procedures refines, reduces, or enhances a facial feature, bringing it into harmony with the rest of the face. These procedures change your basic appearance, and are therefore more appropriate for a younger person who may have an easier time adjusting to such changes than an older person. Older people are more likely to seek plastic surgery to reverse some of the effects of aging…loose skin, jowls, extra eyelids, and wrinkles. These inevitable effects of time can cause a person to look unhappy, mad, tired, sad, or serious. Not to mention old. Most people who choose to fight these unwelcome changes say they feel younger than they look and that they just want to look as young as they feel. These patients are often left with a younger appearance following a facelift, lip lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), or brow lift (forehead lift). Keep in mind that a primary goal of plastic surgery is to make you look like a younger version of yourself…not like someone else. So, be sure to ask your plastic surgeon about his or her techniques. Ask to see before and after pictures of other patients to see whether or not they change basic appearances. People of all ages are interested in the less evasive procedures like skin care, lip augmentation, permanent make-up, wrinkle treatments, chemical peels, Botox®, laser and Thermage®. These are all minor procedures that can enhance your appearance with little downtime. Skin care can give you smoother, softer, brighter skin. Lip augmentation is slightly more invasive of the procedures, and it offers you the full lips you have always wanted. Permanent make-up (when performed well) can help you get through the day looking your best all day long. Wrinkle treatments, laser, chemical peels, Botox®, and Thermage® are directed at smoothing your skin, tightening your skin, reducing wrinkles and eliminating acne or spider veins. Those of you who live in the greater Cincinnati area will be interested to know that all of these procedures are available through Kathy Jones Skin Care, a professional skin care center which is located within the Loftus Plastic Surgery Center. As with anything, there are always a few renegades. And yes, plastic surgery has something to offer you… tongue splitting. If you ever decide that you no longer want your tongue split, plastic surgery can reverse that, too. Facial plastic surgery can offer many things to many people. As with all plastic surgery, be sure to do your homework when evaluating any procedure or plastic surgeon. Hopefully, you will find the pages on this site to be a helpful guide on your quest.
