Facial plastic surgery has advanced dramatically in recent decades to promote subtle and natural results. A facelift reduces the signs of aging, including sagging skin in the mid-face, jowls, and creases below the eyes and at the corners of the mouth. The benefits are a smoother, youthful face with a more defined jawline. Many men and women combine their facelifts with other cosmetic procedures for a more comprehensive outcome.
You can achieve your cosmetic goals by combining aesthetic treatments with a single recovery. A skilled plastic surgeon can incorporate additional procedures to give your face a fresher appearance and harmonize your features. Here are a few recommended treatments Dr. Eric Pugash employs to complement your facelift benefits.
1: Brow Lift
Also known as a forehead lift, a brow lift is a procedure to raise drooping eyebrows. Patients who request upper eyelid surgery may need to lift their brows to restore a youthful look. Younger adults with naturally low brows or deep forehead lines can also achieve their aesthetic goals through a brow lift.
Dr. Pugash offers several brow lift techniques that consider the position of your brow, the height of your hairline, and the amount of excess upper eyelid skin. The surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under a general or local anesthetic that may allow you to go home on the day of surgery.
When you combine a brow lift with a facelift, you’re addressing a significant portion of your facial appearance.
2: Eyelid Surgery
Your eye appearance plays an essential role in your overall facial aesthetics. Elastin and collagen proteins decline as you age and the delicate skin of your eyelids begins to wrinkle and sag. These initial signs of aging often lead to a tired or worn appearance. Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, corrects these cosmetic concerns and restores a youthful, vibrant facial appearance.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid surgery resolves drooping skin and fatty tissues that hang over the eyes. The benefits include a defined eyelid contour with a smooth, younger-looking appearance. It is also chosen by men and women who have naturally hooded eyelids and can be performed at any adult age.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid surgery addresses under-eye bags and droopy lower eyelid skin.The procedure removes excess tissue to promote a nationally refreshed and well-rested appearance.
3: Facial Implants
For more facial definition and an enhanced facial harmony, you may consider facial implants to achieve your cosmetic goals. They can enhance the jawline and chin area and improve facial proportions and overall appearance. In addition, the operation will leave little visible scarring and can create remarkable changes by adding symmetry, balance, and definition to underdeveloped facial features.
