Know the Benefits of Chin and Cheek Augmentation.

One area that can cause a significant imbalance to the overall appearance of the face is the chin. A small or short chin makes the neck look less defined and creates the illusion of having a larger nose. Even small changes in the size of the chin can result in a very noticeable improvement in the overall balance of the face. Chin augmentation surgery and Cheek Augmentation Surgery is performed through a small incision below the chin through which a soft, biocompatible implant is secured in front of the lower jaw. Some bruising and swelling are expected, but this typically resolves within 1 week.

Key benefits of chin Implants:

1. Permanent results after one procedure
2. Dramatic improvements possible
3. Chin implants look and feel very similar to the natural chin bone
4. Multiple options for implant shape, size, and projection to customize your look
5. Short surgery with very low safety risk when performed by a qualified cosmetic surgeon
6. Scars are undetectable once healed
7. Neck liposuction and/or rhinoplasty can be performed at the same time to enhance results

Chin and cheek injections, augmentation, cheek augmentation filler

What are the Advantages of a Facelift?

What is a facelift?

 First of all, we know that there may be some confusion with respect to all of the different terminology pertaining to facelifts and related Cosmetic procedures, so we will start by clarifying some of the commonly used terms:

“Facelift”: Often, we use the term “facelift” to refer to a combined “facelift & neck lift” surgery. This is a facial rejuvenation surgery that helps restore a youthful appearance to your face and your neck.

“Mini-facelift”: This term refers to a slightly less aggressive procedure that offers very similar improvement in the face but a slightly less dramatic improvement in the neck.

“Liquid facelift”: This is a non-surgical option that uses cosmetic injectables to provide a more youthful appearance. This may be a good option for patients who are interested in some rejuvenation but aren’t quite ready for facelift surgery.

Advantages of a Facelift:

1. It helps to counteract the most damaging signs of aging. 
2. It helps to smooth away wrinkles, fine lines, creases, and folds. 
3. Restores self-confidence in one’s image. 
4. It creates a more well-rested facial expression. 
5. It provides well-hidden, inconspicuous scars.

Important things to know post facelift surgery

With so much information out there about facelifts and facelift alternatives, separating fact from fiction can be difficult. To help you find the accurate answers you're looking for, here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about getting a facelift, from how to tell if a facelift could be right for you in the best way to achieve long-lasting results.

What is a facelift?

“Facelift”: Often, we use the term “facelift” to refer to a combined “facelift & necklift” surgery. This is a facial rejuvenation surgery that helps restore a youthful appearance to your face and your neck.

What can a facelift do for me?

Facelift & neck lift surgery will provide you with a natural but tighter, firmer, and fresher appearance. The goal of surgery is to leave you looking like a more youthful version of yourself without appearing “overdone” or artificial.

Are there any other procedures that can be combined with a facelift procedure?

In patients with small or “weak” chins, we often suggest combining a chin augmentation procedure with their facelift. This can provide a more ideal frame on which to re-drape skin and underlying tissue, resulting in a more aesthetically-pleasing profile.

How long will facelift results last?

Although no plastic surgeon can guarantee the precise length your results will last, the effects of most facelifts typically last for years before a touch-up might be needed. To prolong your results even further, try to stay out of the sun, wear sunscreen, eat a healthy diet and talk to a skincare professional about which products are right for your skin.

Things to keep in mind before and after your Facelift.

A facelift is an excellent procedure for facial skin that has become lax and begun to sag. There are several types of facelift techniques that will help to address loose skin and excess fat deposits in the lower face and neck. Once performed, the results can produce a younger-looking appearance for the next ten or so years. The average man or woman who undergoes a facelift looks approximately 7 years younger after surgery.

Before Your Facelift

1. Don’t smoke.
2. Avoid alcohol.
3. Limit salt intake.
4. Communicate with your doctor.
5. Stock up on supplies.

After Your Facelift

1. Rest!
2. Avoid vigorous activity.
3. Take all prescribed medication.
4. Avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas, and steam rooms. 
5. Have patience.

When the appropriate time for wearing makeup does come, purchase new products to limit the risk of infection. This includes makeup application tools.

If you don’t have one already, develop a suitable skincare routine, including cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen. Dr. Sidle's staff can advise you on the best products for your skin type.

Practice vigilant sun protection. Incisions are not protected by clothing as with body surgery and must be given careful consideration. Use sunscreen with SPF 15-40 for at least the first year, even on overcast or cold days.

Do return to your normal daily activities when you are comfortable doing so. For most people, this is within the first two weeks. Walking after plastic surgery is encouraged to avoid blood clots.
