An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty is designed to improve puffy eyes and droopy eyelids, and it can be combined with an eyebrow lift to correct drooping eyebrows. Its intention is to give a more youthful appearance, and it is sometimes used to help correct vision as the upper eyelid can sometimes droop and partially block vision. You may be a candidate for this procedure if you are unhappy with the puffiness and/or sagginess of your eyes or if the aforementioned features interfere with your vision. Some patients who initially seek blepharoplasty are surprised to learn a forehead lift may produce a more desirable effect. If sagging upper eye-lids are the issue, this procedure is often recommended. It is also suggested for those who have low or asymmetrical eye-brows.
Thinning lips are a tell-tale sign of aging, and a lip enhancement is certainly a consideration if you are unhappy with this central facial feature. It is suggested that you try temporary injections or fillers to get an idea of how your augmentation will look before committing to the lip enhancement. If this is the look you desire, you should perhaps choose a lip enhancement as the results are permanent. This procedure is suggested for those who, of course, desire a fuller looking lip, but is not suggested for those in poor health, for those who smoke, or for singers, public speakers, or musicians or for other professionals of the like.
For some individuals, the underlying facial skeletal framework may be contributing to the look of ageing. Facial implants, or malar augmentation, can be used to accentuate areas such as the cheeks and the chin, and though the intention is primarily to enhance the structure of the face, the results reveal a more youthful appearance in addition to an overall healthier look.
If you are considering facial cosmetic surgery, talk with your doctor extensively about all your options. Your doctor will discuss with you the procedures that are most likely to give you the results you are seeking.
