If you are bothered by the signs of aging in your face, a facelift may be right for you. Technically known as rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as sagging in the midface, deep creases below the lower eyelids, deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth, fat that has fallen or is displaced, loss of muscle tone in the lower face may create jowls, loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can make even a person of normal weight appear to have a double chin

Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a facelift are brow lift, to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow, and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes.

BROW LIFT

If you are bothered by expression lines or other signs of aging in the brow region, a brow lift may be right for you. A brow lift, minimizes the creases that develop across the forehead, or those that occur high on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes, improves what are commonly referred to as frown lines, vertical creases that develop between the eyebrows, repositions a low or sagging brow that is hooding the upper eyelid, raises the eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position

Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a brow lift include eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes, facelift to correct aging changes in the mid- to lower face and neck regions, skin resurfacing techniques

EYELID LIFT

Cosmetic eyelid surgery, called blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and give a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested and alert.

Specifically, eyelid surgery can treat: loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision, excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids, bags under the eyes, droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris (colored portion of the eye) Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid

NECK LIFT

People young and old undergo this neck lift surgery all the time. A neck lift will make a person look like he or she has lost a lot of weight. This procedure corrects the loose neck muscles. Removes the excess fat and also removes excess skin from the neck.

A neck lift has two kinds of procedures to improve the appearance of your neck, cervicoplasty: this procedure is used to remove excess skin., platysmaplasty: this procedure removes or alters neck muscles.

LIP AUGMENTATION

Lip augmentation consists of a variety of procedures designed to give a person more defined and fuller lips. Besides enlarging the lips, lip fillers or implants are also used to balance the upper and lower lips.

Injection of fillers such as Collagen, Hylaform, Juvederm, and fat into the lips is an easy way of enlarging or shaping the lips. Collagen is commercially available through plastic surgeons, but before having this procedure, you must first pass a collagen allergy test. Its advantages are, it does not require surgery and it is relatively inexpensive. Its disadvantage is that it is not permanent and usually lasts 3-5 months. Other newer injectable fillers such as those mentioned above usually last much longer than collagen and don't need to be allergy tested.
