Most of us have something that we wish we could change about our appearance whether it’s something simple as reducing the appearance of scars or something more intense such as traditional facelift, reshaping the nose or ears or improving eyelids appearance.
There are a number of issues that it possible to address with facial cosmetic surgery such as tightening sagging skin, reducing lines and wrinkles, facial and neck fatty deposits as well as reducing the appearance of scars and skin blemishes that may be playing down on the self-esteem.
Injuries are another big one as this can lead to unsightly scars. Some people have been in accidents that may have led to the nose or ears becoming misshapen. All of this can be corrected with specific facial plastic surgery procedures.
Indeed, cosmetic and plastic surgery is a great help for many people with imperfections on the face, because they can play a huge role in a decreased self-esteem and can have an effect on someone’s social life due to psychological disturbances that may arise from those imperfections.
Traditional Facelift When you are considering facelift cosmetic surgery in San Francisco know that Dr. Echavez is well regarded as one of the best cosmetic surgeons San Francisco have to offer. He and his staff offer a wide range of facial cosmetic surgery options with excellent medical standards.
Forehead lift Forehead cosmetic surgery is an ideal procedure for those who wish to have a more youthful appearance in a short amount of time. Forehead cosmetic surgery, most commonly performed as a forehead lift, consists of tightening the skin of the forehead and raising the eyebrows to a more youthful position.
Rhinoplasty Most people think that a Rhinoplasty is only done for cosmetic reasons, but that is not the case. Many people have medical reasons for undergoing this procedure; such as repairing a break in their nose or removing a growth. Dr. Echavez, in the San Francisco area, is an expert in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery and can help you reach your Rhinoplasty goals whether they are strictly cosmetic or medical.
Eyelid Surgery Surgery of the upper and lower eyelids is done to remove excess fat and skin and give the face a more rested and youthful appearance. Upper Eyelid Surgery involves removing excess skin and sometimes fat on the upper eyelid. The incision for the surgery is hidden in the eyelid crease and generally heals quickly with little or no pain. Lower Eyelid Surgery removes bags under the eyes and can tighten the skin.
Cheek & Chin Implants Cheek implants can be used to augment the flattened appearance of the cheekbones. Silicone cheek implants do not integrate with the tissue. Because of this, it is possible to remove them easily at a later date if you want to. Other kinds of cheek implants, like hydroxyapatite implants, instead completely integrate with the natural bone tissue. These implants become a part of the natural structure of the cheek.
Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) Otoplasty is a procedure that corrects protrusion of the ears and thus moves the ears closer to the head. The surgery to correct protruding ears is performed in an outpatient surgery center and involves the use of light sedation.
