Signs that It's Time for a Facelift

As you age, you may be able to maintain a fit body and youthful figure through diet and exercise. Your face, however, is harder to keep looking young. Lines and wrinkles can age your face, making you lose confidence in your appearance, and there is little you can do about these problems without the help of a cosmetic surgeon. Procedures such as facelifts can reverse some of the tale-tell signs of aging and restore youthfulness in your face. Below are some signs that you may be a good candidate for a facelift:

• Age: You may notice small lines and wrinkles develop through adulthood as early as your twenties and thirties, but once you hit forty, the signs of aging become increasingly noticeable. Facelift patients are usually between 40 and 60 years old.

• Tired Appearance: Frown lines around the mouth and near the eyes can make a person’s face appear fatigued. Smoothing these lines can give your face a refreshed appearance.

• Lack of Facial Definition: Perhaps you used to have more prominent cheekbones or a more pronounced jaw line, but as your skin loses its elasticity, your features become less defined. A facelift can improve and restore your features to their former glory.

• Sagging Neck: The skin on your neck can age you just as much as your face. As you get older, your neck may loosen and sag, adding years to your appearance.

• Deep Lines: The mouth, eyes, and forehead are all areas where deep lines may develop, adding harshness to your face and often falsely conveying anger. Softening these lines can make you appear much younger and more approachable.

Most Common Types of Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty, often called a “nose job,” is a relatively common cosmetic surgery procedure that can create dramatic results. Read on to learn about the different types of rhinoplasty available.

Medical Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty can be performed for health reasons. Some people are born with noses that are dramatically misshapen, while others have difficulties because of accidents or injuries that occur later in life. In both of these cases, rhinoplasty surgery can normalize the appearance of the nose. In addition, many breathing problems can be alleviated or even eliminated through the use of rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery.

Structure Rhinoplasty

Structure rhinoplasty refers to a form of rhinoplasty in which as little of the original cartilage is excised as possible. The doctor may reshape the cartilage itself or add more cartilage in the form of a graft, but otherwise the amount of cartilage remains almost the same. This type of cosmetic surgery has its benefits because it ensures that the nose will remain extremely strong. However, if you want the size of your nose reduced, then this is probably not the best kind of rhinoplasty for you.

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery can accomplish a number of dramatic aesthetic changes to your nose, including streamlining your profile, altering the distance between the tip of your nose and your mouth, and remolding the end of your nose. All of these changes can have a truly amazing impact upon the appearance of your nose, as well as the rest of your face. After all, your nose is literally the centerpiece of your face, and if you have it streamlined, then it won’t dominate or detract from the other elements of your appearance.
