How Can Facial Plastic Surgery Benefit You?

85% of us would have facial plastic surgery if given the chance. Now is your chance.

New surgical techniques are so refined that, within a few days of surgery, friends and coworkers will notice how terrific you look; they just won’t know exactly why. Recovery is short, pain is minimal, and results can be dramatic.

Within weeks, you could:

Refine the shape or size of your nose

Erase wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, forehead, and chin

Enhance the beauty of your eyes

Tighten saggy skin around your eyes, mouth, and neck

Redefine your jaw line

Improve facial symmetry

Facial Plastic Surgery’s New Clients

Men
Plastic surgery is not just for women. In fact, more than 1 in 10 facial plastic surgeries are performed on men. It can help men appear more alert and energetic to effectively compete in the marketplace. In fact, 25% of men who had facial plastic surgery did so for work-related reasons, compared with 10% of women. Men most often opt for:

Cosmetic eyelid surgery to remove puffiness, bags, and hooding

Procedures on the nose

Botox injections or skin treatments to smoothe wrinkles

Laser procedures to remove broken capillaries, brown spots, and hair

Children
Your child no longer needs to be teased about facial flaws. Help is a phone call away. The most common procedure for children in our practice is otoplasty (reducing the prominence of the ears). Other common procedures include removal of cysts, birthmarks, and moles, as well as laceration repair. During an initial consultation, your surgeon can discuss optimum ages for various procedures.

Minorities
Caucasians are the biggest customers of facial plastic surgery. But consider these figures for the increased use of facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery among minorities between 1999 and 2001:

340% increase for Asian-Americans

323% increase for African-Americans

200% increase for Hispanics

34% increase for Caucasians

A major factor for increased use in non-Caucasian groups: medical advances greatly reduce the risk of scarring, known as keloids, among dark-skinned patients.

Taking The First Step

The best way to decide about plastic surgery is to meet with a surgeon. Find a facility that’s friendly, professional, and has a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Then schedule an in-depth initial consultation with the surgeon. There’s usually a charge for this visit, but it’s reasonable and well worth it.
