The term facial rejuvenation has different connotations and can comprise of a single procedure such as a rhinoplasty or a combination of procedures to provide a whole new look to the face.
Plastic surgery can be used to accentuate and preserve one’s natural looks while changing certain things in order to ensure that the change is not too drastic and is within the realm of normalcy. Different procedures can be used to either correct minor imperfections or to radically change the appearance of one’s face. In general, facial rejuvenation could include techniques such as a facelift which improves the most visible signs of aging in the lower face and neck by tightening the loose underlying muscles and re-draping the skin. Facelifts may be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as a browlift which reduces wrinkles around the eye area, including the forehead and the brow. Other surgeries which could be included in a facial rejuvenation package could be eyelid rejuvenation, nose beautification, and/or laser resurfacing.
With medical advancement, camera assisted minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopic procedures may be used to ensure that there is the least amount of damage to the skin and a quicker recovery period. Fine lines around the eyes and laugh lines can be improved through the use of facial fillers and injections of collagen or botox and also improve skin texture and elasticity.
