Face

There comes a time when we may start to look older than we feel, and often the visible signs of ageing are more apparent on our face

Let’s face it!!! This is often the first part of the body to show the visible signs of ageing. Facial plastic surgery procedures can help you to look as young as you feel.

Ageing often manifests in the face as wrinkles, hollowing and sagging. All of these effects of ageing can be reversed and improved by a variety of facial plastic surgeries and other procedures.

Common surgeries include; face-lift (meloplasty), eye reduction (blepharoplasty), nose job (rhinoplasty), prominent ear correction (otoplasty), neck lift (cervicoplasty) or brow-lift.

Undertaking facial surgery can be complex and certainly not a decision to be taken lightly. Understanding the limitations, formulating an understanding of the procedure and having realistic expectations, is key to a successful treatment.  The is one of the cornerstones to our informed consent process, that requires several consultations and discussions to ascertain.

Benefits of facial plastic surgery

Face-lift

Face-lift surgery is designed to address the many structural changes that cause facial ageing. In particular, the stretch of supporting ligaments that lead to jowls and excess facial wrinkling and the bony resorption of the cheeks, that leads to hollowing under the eyes.

Blepharoplasty

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, or ‘nose job’, can address both functional and aesthetic nasal concerns. Post-traumatic nasal deviation can be fixed and breathing improved with straightening of the septum (septoplasty). In

addition, other aesthetic concerns such as dorsal humps, over or under rotation of the nasal tip, as well as refinement of the nasal tip can be performed.

Otoplasty (correction of prominent ears)

Correcting prominent ears is a surgery usually performed after the age of five years or so, as to not restrict ear growth. Adults can also undergo this surgery, but the cartilage is often somewhat stiffer and needs more work to be corrected.

This surgery not only reduces the ear prominence but gives the ear a better definition and shape. Other aspects such a deep conchal bowl and abnormal crural cartilages can also be addressed.
