BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, November 29, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Hospital Group has reported that more people have opted for smaller surgeries such as upper and lower eyelifts rather than facelifts over the past 5 years. The number of full facelifts grew by 61% over the past 5 years, whilst upper and lower eyelid surgeries increased by 62% and 85% respectively.
The typical eyelid surgery patient has drooping layers of skin and deep wrinkles on the eyelids. These lead to a tired and a sad looking appearance. This may run in families and is common in both men and women.
A curved incision is made across the natural crease of the skin and excess fat and tissue is removed to lift and open up the eye area.
Face lift surgery can dramatically reduce wrinkles and help to rejuvenate your appearance. You may be considering a face lift due to ageing wrinkles, jowls or a general saggy appearance to the skin on the face and neck. A facelift can help with these. After surgery, the face is smoother and more youthful looking
Both surgeries can produce very successful results, and a consultation from a cosmetic surgeon at The Hospital Group.
A spokesperson for The Hospital Group, said: "THG Comment - Many of our patients come to us thinking they want a face lift, however after having a consultation with the cosmetic surgeon they realize eye surgery is more appropriate for their surgical needs."
