Why Consider Facial Plastic Surgery?
Men and women in Arlington consider facial plastic surgery for several reasons. Many are looking for a cosmetic enhancement to boost their self-confidence and improve their appearance. Several surgeries can help you achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look so that you feel more comfortable in front of the camera or with strangers.
Your facial appearance changes as you age, including a loss of facial volume, sagging skin, and wrinkles. Various procedures can reverse these signs of aging and give you a more youthful appearance. Each of these changes can help boost your self-confidence.
Types of Facial Plastic Surgery
Several types of plastic surgery can help you achieve your desired results. We encourage you to call to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your cosmetic concerns with one of our Arlington surgeons and discover more about the facial plastic surgery procedures that can help.
Facelift
A facelift procedure, also called a rhytidectomy, involves removing excess facial fat and tightening facial muscles while removing excess skin. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more youthful face. Typically, a facelift addresses cosmetic concerns on the lower half and neck. It can address excess skin at the lower jawline, excess skin and fat in the neck, and a sagging appearance around the cheeks.
Eyelid Lift
An eyelid lift, or a blepharoplasty, addresses excess skin on your upper and lower eyelids. The eyelid muscles are also tightened if necessary, resulting in a brighter and more alert appearance. Sagging eyelids can not only make you look more fatigued but can also impede your visual field, making it hard to see. While insurance typically does not cover cosmetic surgery, your insurance provider may help cover the cost when excess skin impedes your visual fields. It is worth calling to check your insurance coverage.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, also commonly referred to as a nose job, is a type of surgery that can adjust the shape and size of your nose and help improve breathing. The benefit is an overall balanced and proportionate look with your other facial features. The procedure is customized to meet your needs so the results can closely approximate your desired goal.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is typically recommended if you have an underprojected chin. During the surgery, an implant is placed on the bone to change the proportion and balance of your face. The procedure can help improve your self-image and does not require a lengthy recovery time.
Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Plastic Surgery?
Men and women in Arlington who are good candidates for facial plastic surgery are generally healthy without uncontrolled underlying medical conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes or heart disease. During your consultation, one of our experienced plastic surgeons will discuss your expectations for your results.
Ideal candidates are also non-smokers. Nicotine increases your risk of complications during and after surgery. This includes any nicotine delivery system, including tobacco, vaping, nicotine gum, and nicotine patches. If you do smoke, you must quit for four weeks before and after surgery. Nicotine impairs healing, increases your risk of infection, and speeds the loss of collagen and elastin. These two proteins are responsible for your skin tone and texture. Loss of collagen and elastin with age and genetics is a primary reason people seek plastic surgery.
