Our facial appearance reflects in ourselves. The changes in appearance that come with the passage of time can result in our looking tired, older. Aesthetic surgery can allow you to look your best and to look as young as you feel. Sometimes it is a facial feature that one doesn't like and feels self-conscious about. Changing this feature can result in a more harmonious facial appearance, a sense of greater self confidence.

Facelift:

The procedure is carried out through incisions that are placed so that they will be inconspicuous. Through these, the deeper layers are lifted and resupported. The skin is smoothed and excess skin is removed. The result is a natural look, with younger, more attractive contours.

Foreheadlift: Laughing, frowning, concentrating, surprise. All of these facial expressions show on your forehead. The results are deep wrinkles and vertical frown lines and settling of the brows that give your face an unintended sad or angry look.

The procedure can sometimes be carried out using endoscopic technique - small incisions hidden within the hairline. The skin is smoothed, the brows are repositioned for a more youthful look and the frown muscles are weakened so that they no longer work over-time.

The splint is removed a week later and the changes will be visible. Subtle swelling of the nose will subside in the following weeks to months. The final result will be a nose that enhances your natural appearance and increases your self confidence.
