2012-08-01

HOUSTON, TX, August 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) As you age, gravity, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices will all begin to become apparent in the appearance of your face and neck. Loose, saggy skin, wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, and scars can all detract from the natural beauty of your face and leave you feeling older than you actually are. Fortunately, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon can offer you a number of face and neck procedures that can greatly improve your appearance. With the right procedure, or combination of procedures, you can take years off of your face and neck and restore a softer, youthful, and noticeably more attractive appearance.

Face & Neck Enhancement Options

When you visit a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, he will carefully assess every aspect of your face. Taking your unique structure and anatomy into account, he will then customize a procedure to meet your exact needs.

Some of the options your facial plastic surgeon may recommend include:

- Facelift - a procedure that targets your neck and the lower portion of your face to lift sagging skin and eliminate visible signs of aging.
- Neck lift - for patients who are only experiencing sagging around the neck and jowls, a neck lift may be sufficient to provide a more youthful appearance.
- Mid-facelift - targeting the area around your cheeks and nasolabial folds, this procedure can improve the appearance of your entire mid-face.
- Brow lift - for sagging eyebrows and a wrinkly forehead, a brow lift is the ideal choice.

Other Cosmetic Procedures

In addition to these procedures, many facial plastic surgeons offer face and neck liposuction to remove deposits of stubborn excess fat and provide a sleeker, more toned appearance. For patients looking for a less invasive or less complex procedure, your facial plastic surgeon may offer solutions including fat transfers, injectable facial fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and BOTOX Cosmetic.

Understanding that each patient is entirely unique, your facial plastic surgeon will work with you on an individual basis to help you determine the procedure or treatment that will best help you meet your goals. Be sure to honestly express your desires to your plastic surgeon to ensure the most effective procedure is recommended.
