Trends in Facial Rejuvenation

    /24-7PressRelease/ - GLENDALE, CA, July 10, 2008 - Facial rejuvenation has developed new techniques and increased in popularity over the years. The procedures available today range from surgical to non-invasive in nature and are all designed to help you achieve a youthful, refreshed and more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The cosmetic surgeon's goal is to provide better results with less discomfort and smaller surgical scars.

You may discover that one procedure will suit your needs. Or you may decide on a combination of procedures to obtain the look you desire. Whichever facial rejuvenation techniques you choose to have, it is important that you discuss each one in detail with your cosmetic surgeon, to be sure you and your surgeon understand each other completely.

Facial Rejuvenation Procedures
• Brow Lift - Corrects sagging skin of the brow and forehead which would otherwise make you look tired or angry.
• Blepharoplasty - Removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids to give the eyes a more youthful, alert and rested appearance.
• Otoplasty - Reshapes the outer ears to make them lie closer to the head and look balanced.
• Rhinoplasty - Corrects nasal deformities or damage, improves breathing, or enhances the appearance of the nose. It brings a large nose into better proportion with the rest of the face, or improves the shape or angle of the nose.
• Face Lift - Reduces skin laxity, raising deeper connective tissue and muscle and repositioning them to correct sagging. It is often done along with a neck lift.
• Neck Lift - Removes excess skin from the throat and jawline, and can be done with liposuction to remove excess fat.
• Resurfacing Techniques - Laser resurfacing, dermabrasion and chemical peels for treating fine lines and deep wrinkles. They help enormously with sun or other environmental damage and scarring. In their different ways, these procedures stimulate the underlying skin layer (dermis) to produce new, tighter skin cells which replace the old ones. This gives you smoother, clearer skin.

The key to a satisfying outcome from any cosmetic surgery, whether invasive or not, is that you consult with your surgeon and become fully aware and informed of all of the procedures. Lean about their typical pre-operative and post-operative requirements, their likely results, and what risks are involved in each one.

The choices you make to improve your facial appearance should be thoroughly discussed with your plastic surgeon before any final decisions are made. You can also discuss post-operative recommendations for care and maintenance to keep your skin looking vibrant and youthful.
