For many people considering plastic surgery, the possibilities are seemingly endless. There's plastic surgery out there for almost any cosmetic procedure a patient could want. But what many people considering plastic or cosmetic surgery don't realize is that there are plastic surgeons focusing on specific parts of the body, namely facial plastic surgery. So what are some of the facial plastic surgery options out there?
Facial plastic surgery includes rhinoplasty (or nose jobs.) A rhinoplasty generally involves reshaping, resizing or reconstruction of the nose by surgical means. Rhinoplasty remains one of the most popular plastic surgeries in the United States.
Facial plastic surgery also includes face lifts (or rhytidectomy.) Face lifts involve the tightning of facial skin. This procedure is done by cutting and redraping the skin. Face lifts often produce dramatic results.
Also falling into the category of cosmetic procedures is Botox. Botox is the drug name for botulinum toxin A, which is a toxin that temporarily smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles in the skin. Results last for 3-4 months.
There are many other facial cosmetic and surgical procedures offered by plastic surgeons. Some of these include brow lifts, hair transplants, forehead lifts, eyelid surgery, ear surgery and many others. Talk to a plastic surgery center to see what services and procedures they offer.
