Facelifts 

Facelifts are now considered an advanced form of art that uses a variety of procedures to improve and revitalize the appearance of the face. The article explores the art of facelift surgery, presenting a range of methods and developments in this field.

Another name for a facelift is a rhytidectomy. A skin flap is pushed back on each side of the face during a facelift. Excess skin is removed, and the tissues underneath the skin are changed. This results in a more youthful-looking facial shape. In some cases, a facelift also includes a neck lift. It lowers neck fat and skin sagging. Fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun exposure cannot be corrected by a facelift but other cosmetic treatments can improve the appearance and quality of it.

Traditional Facelift 

During a typical facelift procedure, incisions are made below the chin, below the hairline, and around the ears. A specialized surgeon tightens the muscles and other supporting components of your face and neck while separating your skin from the underlying tissues. If necessary, the surgeon will also remove extra fat from your neck and jowls. After that, the surgeon eliminates any extra skin and repositions it over your face naturally. For those who wish to get the best possible outcome from moderate to considerable face aging, this procedure is typically advised.

Mini Facelifts

In the “mini” version, drooping skin on the bottom half of the face is corrected by a plastic surgeon using tiny incisions around the hairline. Both entail making incisions to assist remove and lift drooping skin because they are considered invasive cosmetic treatments. If you aim to accomplish these results with fewer incisions and less unnecessary skin to be removed, you could be a good candidate for a tiny version. A mini facelift is nevertheless a significant cosmetic treatment, despite its name. If you’re thinking about getting cosmetic surgery, it’s crucial to balance the risks and advantages of every treatment.

Lip Ανελκυστήρας 

The most known procedures for enhancing the appearance of your lips are fillers or lip implants, however, during the last few years, lip flips have gained a lot of popularity. This procedure is permanent, unlike the above-mentioned treatments. This is a surgical procedure that minimizes the space between the nose and the top of the lip which is also known as the philtrum. The process enhances the apparent amount of pink tissue, giving the lips a fuller, more prominent appearance. Additionally, it makes your top central teeth more noticeable while your lips are at rest. It’s a fantastic choice for those who like to give their lips more height rather than volume.

Adults who want to narrow the distance between their lips and nose may find that a λίφτινγκ χειλιών is the appropriate choice. This area usually grows with age and might give the appearance of thinner lips. On the other hand, younger people may prefer a lip lift if they haven’t gotten the desired result with fillers or if they think that fillers make their lips seem excessively full or duck-like. For those who are sick of maintaining filler, lip lifts might be a good option because they are a permanent fix.

Λίφτινγκ

A ανόρθωση λαιμού is a cosmetic treatment used to create a more defined and youthful-looking neck by removing extra skin and fat around the jawline. Outcomes could last a long time. However, neck lift surgery cannot reverse the effects of aging. This procedure may also be called neck rejuvenation. During this treatment, the cosmetic surgeon may address issues like:

• Excessive fat and skin in the lower part of the face, which may form jowls
• Fatty deposits in the area under the chin
• Neck skin that is loose and doesn’t look good. 

Sculpting With Implants

A revolutionary method for establishing facial harmony and improving features can be provided by face implants. The article explores the art of implant sculpting, revealing the methods and uses that help define and enhance particular face features.

Chin Implants

The chin is an important part of the face and if you want to achieve a more defined and prominent look, a chin implant is the right procedure for you. The surgeon will need to take a close look at your facial features and do a thorough examination to decide whether you are suitable or not for this procedure. Furthermore, we will explain some of the steps of the procedure to make it easier for you to understand the process:

• Firstly the surgeon will make you numb by using anesthesia. You will not feel any type of pain or discomfort due to this. 
• Once the patient is numb and doesn’t feel anything, the surgeon will make tiny incisions either in the natural crease line just under the person’s chin or inside the mouth where the gum and lower lip meet.
• The surgeon makes a place for the implant by carefully stretching this tissue. The implant comes in a range of sizes and shapes and is composed of a synthetic substance that feels a lot like the natural tissue present in the chin. This enables the implant to be fitted precisely to the patient’s facial features.
• The incision is closed by the surgeon using tiny sutures following implantation. There is no apparent scarring when the incision is made inside the mouth. The scar is often undetectable after you recover so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Chin implants are designed to be permanent medical devices that are extremely durable and lasting.  Your increased chin contour won’t alter as you age, but other aspects of your face will. There is a minimal chance that a chin implant may sustain damage from facial trauma and need to be replaced by another procedure.

The Eyes Area

Many people are looking to revitalize the look of their eyes since they are an important part of the face. Fortunately, there are several procedures to improve the look of this area and to make it fit to your overall appearance. We will explain here what these transformative procedures for the eyes are and how they will change this area of your face. 

Βλεφαροπλαστική

The region surrounding your eyes might look better with blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery. This surgery eliminates extra skin from your upper eyelids and lessens bagginess from your lower eyelids. Skin gradually becomes less elastic as it ages. Excess skin gathers in the lower and upper eyelids due to gravity’s constant pull and your lack of flexibility. You can get blepharoplasty on your lower eyelids, your upper eyelids, or both.

During a blepharoplasty, extra skin, muscle, and underlying fatty tissue are frequently removed. However, in some cases, medical professionals can transfer tissues instead of removing them. Blepharoplasty is mostly a cosmetic treatment, but it can also help those whose drooping upper eyelids are obstructing their field of vision.

Crow’s feet, various facial wrinkles, and dark circles beneath the eyes cannot be removed with blepharoplasty and fat reduction. Dark circles can be lessened with further surgical and nonsurgical procedures that raise your cheekbones, fill up the hollows beneath your eyes, or realign fat. Blepharoplasty can be done concurrently with other face surgical operations as brow lifts or laser resurfacing by providers.

Brow Lifts

As the name says brow lifts are a cosmetic treatment that raises the eyebrows. Another name of this treatment is forehead rejuvenation or lift since all of these parts will be improved after the procedure is done. The main purpose of the treatment is to raise the skin and soft tissue of the eyebrows and forehead area. If you notice that the skin around this area is dropping you may be a suitable candidate for this treatment. It is important to consult with a specialized surgeon to find out if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure or not. If additional improvements are required this procedure can be combined with other treatments. 

As you might know, brows descending mostly happens as you age because the stretching causes the soft tissues to lose their elasticity and return to their original shape. This will shorten the space between the lashes and the eyebrows giving off an angry, depressed, or exhausted appearance. A brow lift procedure may give you a more youthful appearance by raising your brows so if you feel like your upper eyelids are drooping due to a low or sagging brow, you may want to think about getting this treatment done.

Rhinoplasty-Nose Reshaping & Reconstruction

A ρινοπλαστική is a surgical procedure used to alter the nose’s form. This procedure may be performed to enhance breathing, alter the nose’s appearance, or both. Bone makes up the nose’s top structural component and also makes up the lowest portion. Every part of the nose can be altered during a rhinoplasty. Discuss with your surgeon the potential benefits and your suitability for this type of procedure. He will consider every aspect of your nose before making the treatment plan and its outcomes.

How To Prepare For Rhinoplasty

Before the procedure, you need to schedule an appointment with your surgeon. During the appointment, you will talk with the dentist about what you expect and your goals. The meeting will most likely go like this:

• The surgeon will review your medical history and ask about your expectations and goals. You need to answer these questions and include everything you can remember including the medicine you take, nasal blockages and other surgeries. There are several disorders or illnesses such as hemophilia that may make you not suitable for a procedure like this. 
• The next step after the initial consultation will be a physical examination done by the surgeon. He will carefully take a look at your facial features and the inside and outside parts of your nose and surrounding tissues. During this examination, the surgeon will tell you about the changes that should be made and what the final result will look like. The surgeon will also notice other things like the strength of the nose cartilage and the thickness of the skin surrounding it which may affect the final results. This is also done to see how the procedure will affect your breathing.
• For you to notice the changes that the procedure will make to your nose the surgeon will need to take several pictures at different angles. He will also use computer software to show you what you can expect from the procedure and what can be achieved from it. This before and after pictures will serve as a reference for the surgeon during surgery. 
• Last but not least it is very important to discuss the expectations you have for this procedure with your surgeon beforehand. You may also talk about the reason why you want to have surgery and what you want the results to look like. Then your doctor will discuss what is best suited for you and what the treatment can do for your specific case. Even though you may not feel very confident talking to your dentist about your appearance or you don’t like taking pictures you should understand that communication is very important if you want to have a successful result. 

The initial consultation before surgery is very important because looking at your facial anatomy and different aspects that can affect it is very important. Some patients for example come for a rhinoplasty while in reality, they might need another procedure like a chin implant to improve their overall appearance. This happens because when the chin is small it creates an illusion of a bigger nose. Understanding the real issue will definitely improve your look and this is why it is very important to consult a specialized doctor who has the proper knowledge and experience to deal with these kinds of issues.
