Plastic Surgery


These days, laser treatments, chemical peels, dermal fillers and other non-invasive procedures are usually the first choice for rejuvenating age- and sun-damaged skin. But for some cosmetic problems, plastic surgery offers the best and most permanent solution

Below are three of the most popular surgeries for reversing the telltale signs of aging. These procedures are often done in conjunction with non-invasive treatments to enhance the final results.

Facelift (rhytidectomy)

A facelift can transform your appearance, improving a wide variety of visible signs of aging: deep creases around the eyes, nose and mouth as well as sagging, loose skin around the mid-face and jaw. A facelift will leave you looking more youthful and rested. It can even re-contour your face.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

This surgery lifts any loose or sagging skin that is creating unattractive folds around your eyes. It also removes excess fatty tissue that makes your eyes look puffy. After the surgery you’ll appear more rested and alert.

Brow (or forehead) lift

As you age, expression lines on your forehead or between your eyes may deepen, giving you the appearance of looking constantly tired or angry. A brow lift can permanently minimize these unwanted wrinkles and raise your sagging eyebrows, making you look younger, more alert, and less dour.
