Facial Cosmetic Procedures

1. Facelift

A facelift rejuvenates the appearance of the face by tightening sagging skin and reducing wrinkles.

How it is performed:

• Excess skin is removed, and underlying tissues are tightened.
• Incisions are typically made along the hairline or behind the ears to reduce visible scarring.
• Sometimes, liposuction is used to remove excess fat from the neck or face.

Benefits:

• Restores a youthful appearance by reducing sagging and wrinkles.
• Improves facial contours, particularly around the jawline.
• Boosts self-esteem and confidence.

2. Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the shape or size of the nose for aesthetic or functional reasons.

How it is performed:

• Incisions are made inside the nostrils or across the base of the nose.
• Cartilage and bone are reshaped to achieve the desired look.
• The procedure can also correct breathing issues.

Benefits:

• Enhances the appearance of the nose to fit facial proportions.
• Improves breathing and airflow.
• Increases self-confidence.

3. Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, corrects drooping eyelids and puffy under-eye bags.

How it is performed:

How it is performed:
