TYPES OF FACIAL SURGERY
Facial surgeries enhance the appearance and functionality of the face. Among the most common are rhinoplasty, facelift, and blepharoplasty. These procedures not only beautify but also boost the patient's confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, they can have functional benefits, such as improving breathing with rhinoplasty. Overall, facial surgeries contribute to a better quality of life.
Bichectomy is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing prominent cheeks by extracting the Bichat pads, which are fat deposits located in the middle part of the cheeks. This treatment is popular among those who wish to achieve a more refined and angular face. The intervention is performed under local anesthesia, usually lasts less than an hour, and requires small incisions inside the mouth, which avoids externally visible scars. Postoperative care usually involves minimal discomfort and a quick recovery, although the final results are fully appreciated after a few weeks. Bichectomy is especially valued for its ability to enhance facial contours and improve the aesthetics of the face.
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that corrects problems in the eyelids, such as bags under the lower eyelids and excess skin on the upper eyelids. This procedure helps rejuvenate the appearance of the area around the eyes, giving a more rested and alert look. It is generally performed under local anesthesia with sedation, and can last between one and three hours depending on whether both eyelids are treated. The incisions are designed to follow the natural lines of the eyelids, minimizing the visibility of scars. Recovery varies, but patients usually resume their normal activities after a week, with results that can last many years.
Mentoplasty is a surgical procedure that enhances the projection of the chin to achieve a more harmonious facial profile. It is performed by placing implants or reshaping the jawbone. This procedure is ideal for those who wish to correct a recessed or disproportionate chin, providing a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial contour.
Otoplasty is a surgical intervention performed to correct deformities and improve the appearance of the ears. This procedure is often sought by individuals with prominent or disproportionate ears, commonly known as “cup ears.” The surgery can be performed at any age after the ears have reached their adult size, generally starting from six years old. The technique involves reshaping the cartilage to create a more natural and closer-fitting ear to the head. Otoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia and usually lasts between one and two hours. The recovery period is relatively short, with patients resuming normal activities within a week, although they should avoid intense physical activities for a while. The results are permanent, providing a significant improvement in self-esteem and personal image.
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that modifies the shape and size of the nose to improve its appearance or correct respiratory issues. This procedure is highly personalized, tailored to the specific needs and desires of the patient, and may include changes to the nasal bridge, the tip of the nose, or the nostrils. It is performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation and typically lasts between one to three hours. The incisions are generally made inside the nose to avoid visible scars. The recovery period may include swelling and bruising, with a noticeable improvement after a few weeks, although the final results may take up to a year to be fully visible. Rhinoplasty can not only improve facial harmony but also enhance the patient’s self-confidence.
Rhytidectomy, commonly known as a facelift, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin on the face and neck, resulting in a younger and rejuvenated appearance. This surgery addresses muscle tone loss, skin laxity, and can remove excess fat. It is generally performed under general anesthesia and can last several hours, depending on the extent of the area treated. The incisions are strategically placed in locations where scars can be minimized, such as behind the ears and in the hairline. Full recovery can take several weeks, during which swelling and bruising may occur. The results of a rhytidectomy can be significant, offering a more defined facial contour and a notable reduction in the signs of aging.
