Facial Cosmetic Procedures
Facial cosmetic procedures are performed to enhance the beauty and overall appearance of a person. In some cases, such procedures become necessary post-injury, to mask after-effects like scars or surgery marks.
Some of the major cosmetic procedures include:
- Botox
Botox injections are administered for the removal of facial wrinkles. These injections majorly use a toxin called onabotulinumtoxinA to prevent muscle movements. The chemical signals from the nerves that cause facial muscles to contract, are stopped using botox injections. This prevents and delays the appearance of wrinkles. Botox is also used for medical reasons to prevent neck spasms, reduce excessive sweating and avoid lazy eyes.
- Face-lift
Known as rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure performed to reduce visible signs of aging on the face and neck. Fold lines, sagging & loose skin, excess fat etc. are corrected, prevented, and delayed with the use of a facelift procedure. This also helps restore a youthful feel to the face and reduces thinning of skin.
- Brow-lift
Bow-lift or forehead lift is performed to enhance the eyebrow lines and remove the creases between eyebrows. It reduces wrinkle lines on the forehead and also between the eyes. They make the eyebrows more beautiful and remove the sags under and over the eyes.
- Rhinoplasty
A nose job, otherwise known as rhinoplasty, brings an enhanced and more beautiful look to the face by removing the asymmetry and undesired shape of the nose. This surgical intervention treats the width, size, and position of the nose, rectifies the shape of the nose ends as per the patient’s need, and also treats a damaged nose due to any injury or hereditary reasons.
- Neck-lift
Neck-lift or rhytidectomy arrests aging by removing any signs of excess fat, abnormal features or sagging in the jawline and the neck. It improves overall facial beauty by reshaping the face and neck contours. For those who see wrinkles, double chin, and skin sagging due to aging, a neck-lift can be a promising option to enhance their looks.
- Otoplasty
Ear surgery or otoplasty can help improve the shape of the ear, which may have been damaged/occurred due to an injury, birth defect, or any other reason. Otoplasty helps restore the shape, size, and position of the ear and gives an appropriate proportion to the face. Such corrective surgeries are performed mostly for medical reasons or aesthetic purposes.
