Facial Rejuvenation Adjusts and Tightens the Underlying Tissue in Your Face - By: Dave Stringham

Cosmetic surgery is not meant to change your life, but cosmetic surgery can help you look the way you have always wanted. Many plastic surgeons believe that there is no one operation or approach, but rather a selection of approaches and procedures that can fit your specific needs. Women and men's bodies change over time.

Facial rejuvenating surgery, best referred to as the Facelift, is a positive, life enhancing experience. Today, the facelift is one of the most popular and gratifying cosmetic procedures among the aging "baby boomer" generation. The facelift is not just one single surgical procedure but comprises several restorative techniques. In addition, we find that some individuals benefit from a full facelift, where as others benefit from a modified, mini or soft lift technique.

Plastic surgeons specialize in facial rejuvenation tailored to meet your specific needs. Together, you and your surgeon can select from a number of techniques and surgical options best suited to reach your goal. Rejuvenation may address the brow, cheek, or neck and jowl area. Instead of looking "lifted", most plastic surgeons are able to achieve a natural result, which makes you look refreshed and rested.

Facial rejuvenation can help you literally turn back the clock. The idea behind a facelift is to remove excess skin and, more importantly, adjust and tighten the underlying tissue at the same time. A number of other procedures can compliment facial rejuvenation, including laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, eyelid surgery or fat transfer to fill in dents and hollows. Plastic surgeons base their approach on natural lines and creases which keeps scarring to a minimum. Most plastic surgeons' patients are back to work in ten days to two weeks after surgery. Friends will recognize that you look better but won't know why. The change in your appearance may be dramatic but the change inside you is the most powerful of all.

Over the past several years, plastic surgeons have treated many patients who have elected Botox, a purified protein, to temporarily erase worry lines. Botox can be an excellent alternative to surgery. Plastic surgeons most commonly use Botox to treat the vertical lines between the eyebrows, frown lines, horizontal lines on the forehead, or crow's feet, the wrinkling along side of the eyes, bands or strings along the neck may also respond to this treatment.

Botox is injected into small muscles in the face or neck, temporarily blocking the nerve endings to reduce wrinkles, stress and tension that are reflected in the face. A few local pricks, taking minutes, can complete the treatment, softening the lines caused by a frown or squint. Although the injection can wear off in six months, repeat treatment can thin or flatten the muscles and keep the tension wrinkles from reappearing. Patients are delighted with their improvements and enjoy the tension free after glow.
