Face lift procedures are designed to rejuvenate the face by a combination of reducing wrinkles and resuspending facial structures to restore a more youthful appearance. Techniques vary depending on the precise problem to be rectified and all involve scar placement in discreet areas. Fat transfer techniques can also be utilised to replace thinning sub-cutaneous tissues. A successful result will lead to a more youthful appearance to the face and neck.
Surgery on either upper or lower eyelids is aimed at reducing wrinkles and puffiness. Standard techniques aim to remove skin, muscle or fat or a combination depending on the precise requirements of each patient. This can reduce the impression of tiredness associated with excess eyelid tissue and bags under the eyes.
Brow lift techniques have evolved to become commonplace in facial rejuvenation surgery. Techniques can involve endoscopic or open surgery. Brow lift procedures are often combined with eyelid surgery, depending on the precise effect desired. Benefits of this surgery include facial rejuvenation and a reduction in the look of severity which can be associated with a heavy or drooping brow.
Surgery on the nose can aim to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Patients may request surgery to correct a problem following trauma or an accident or to improve the appearance of a nose which perhaps does not fit in with other facial features. Techniques involve either a closed approach (all the cuts inside the nose) or in more complex cases an open approach (involving a small cut on the outside of the nose).
