LIMITATIONS TO CONSIDER, ENHANCEMENTS TO EMBRACE
Mar 31st, 2009 by doctorbinder
With people living longer more productive lives, facial plastic surgery has become highly popular among people from all walks of life in Los Angeles County. Great, image-enhancing Beverly Hills nose jobs and tummy tucks are no longer exclusively for rock stars or multi-billionaires; people know that anyone can get plastic surgery. And it’s important for everyone, world-class celebrity or not, to take into account all the considerations involved with getting plastic surgery.
As years go by, the skin tends to loosen on the face and neck, crow’s feet appear at the corners of the eyes, the jaw line softens into jowls, and a double chin with vertical bands beneath the chin develops. Heredity, smoking, and sun exposure also tends to contribute to the aging face. For patients, understanding the limitations of face-lifting procedures is crucial for success. A facelift means lifting of the cheek, jowls, and neck; incisions are placed in a natural skin crease in the hairline and around the ear, eliminating the need for shaving of hair. A normal Beverly Hills facelift procedure can take 2-6 hours and is usually performed under sedation to prevent any patient discomfort. Following surgery, a dressing is applied to protect the face and is removed the day after. Patients are usually cosmetically sociable in 10-14 days.
A facelift doesn’t lift the forehead, correct sagging eyelids, straighten or refine the nose, nor does it correct flat cheeks or weak chins. It also does not alter wrinkling of the lips, crow’s feet, or improve sun-damaged skin. Other procedures, such as professional Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty, forehead lifting, blepharoplasty, cheek and chin augmentation can be considered to augment the final surgical improvements, and many patients consider adding these other features for further enhancement to the lift.
Again, a facelift can’t stop or turn back the clock. What it can do is help your face look its best and give you a healthy and a more youthful appearance, which often results in increased self-confidence and improvement in self-image. Most changes last 5-10 years, but this tends to vary from patient to patient. Due to improved techniques, the neck (once considered the most difficult area to maintain) holds its shape perhaps longer than other facial areas. The mid-face and cheek, due to active and frequently flexing muscles of facial expression, may need to be revised earlier than other areas through procedures such as Beverly Hills Revision Rhinoplasty.
After surgery, you need to restrict your activities and simply relax for a few days. Elevating your head when you sleep minimizes swelling and bruising. If you are a smoker, it is highly encouraged not to smoke for a few days or take any blood thinning medications such as aspirin. Plan on treating yourself like you have the flu: drink plenty of fluids, and get lots of rest. After a few days, you’ll be back on your feet, ready to face your day anew.
