Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon : Facial plastic surgery to reverse signs of aging
July 12, 2010All facial plastic surgery is generally done to make a patient appear younger or to lost a significant amount of weight. Some patients have lost a significant amount of weight but have trouble losing a double chin or feel that their cheeks are too larger. Procedures that are done to make the face appear younger are lifts and facial liposuction. Some question whether it is the same liposuction that is generally combined with a Beverly Hills tummy tuck, and it is the same type of liposuction with a smaller tube. This liposuction is generally done on the chin and chicks.
The most popular procedures for older patients seeking to reverse the aging processes are facelifts, neck lifts, brow lifts, and eyelid surgery. Every patient has a different need and idea of what they would like to change to look younger, and Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeons will help the patient decide and advise the patient on what is best for their face.
A facelift is done to lift and tone the skin in the muscles of the face. It helps to dramatically reduce the signs of aging, wrinkling, and sagging by smoothing and tightening the forehead, around the eyes and the jowl area. Usually a Beverly Hills neck lift is done in conjunction to a facelift, Botox or liposuction. This is done on patients who complain or a turkey gobble or double chin. This procedure removes excess fat, skin and muscles creating a tighter appearance. Generally for patients who feel that their facial expressions are altered due to eye brow sagging Surgeons suggest a forehead lift other wise known as a browlift. The surgeon will remove the muscle in the forehead to create a tighter, brighter and more youthful appearance. Eyelid surgery removes the excess skin, fat, and tissue from the upper and lower eyelids. This surgery is to correct bagginess or puffiness around the eyes which generally makes the patient appear several years older, but this procedure does not correct crows’ feet, dark circles or sagging of the brows.
