A lot of people are looking at cosmetic procedures to regain their youthful glow. There are various cosmetic procedures these days, which have evolved over the years to not only become more effective, but also become safer for patients.
Below, you will find an overview of face procedures that are executed at Australia’s best cosmetic surgery facilities; this includes the Dr Lanzer Clinic. With this overview, you can gain more insight into the procedures and the results that can be obtained.
The Suture Lift
The suture lift is a term used for the modern-day facelift. During this procedure, a cosmetic surgeon will rejuvenate the face by lifting excess skin. The procedure is used to correct wrinkles and bags; this includes areas under the chin, along the jawline, and even the mouth and cheeks.
A suture lift is commonly obtained by people who are older as a suture lift can correct drooping of the facial structures, a common occurrence with the natural ageing process.
The Blepharoplasty
The blepharoplasty is a procedure that focusses on the eyes; thus, a blepharoplasty of the upper and lower eyelid are both possible. The treatment is focussed on the removal of fat bags, a tired look, or even sagging skin on the eyelids. During a blepharoplasty, the surgeon can remove excess fat and skin by using a variety of techniques. In most cases, a small incision is made in the eye crease, keeping any remaining scarring hidden.
Laser Treatments
Certain lasers can be used to provide a more youthful appearance. Lasers such as the Erbium can also be used to address problems such as blotchy skin, sun damage, and skin texture. Overall, a laser treatment can provide a patient with clearer and smoother skin.
Neck Liposuction
The facelift is not the only type of treatment that could provide rejuvenation. A liposuction in a strategic place could also have a rejuvenating effect on the face. One of these treatments is the neck liposuction, where the surgeon will remove excess fat deposits from the neck and reshape the neck accordingly. By making the neck more defined, the patient in question can enjoy a more rejuvenated look.
The Fat Transfer
There are some instances where patients can suffer a loss of volume in the face; this is also common with the natural ageing process. To correct this problem, a cosmetic surgeon can execute a fat transfer. A fat transfer involves reinjecting the patient’s body fat into the treatment area. Before the fat is reinjected into the treatment area, it is treated in a special lab. The fat will be filtered and cleaned, until it is time to reinject it for the fat transfer.
Some patients choose to store the fat obtained from liposuction for a further treatment. The fat transfer can be used for rejuvenation, but also to reshape or resize a certain part of the body.
Fillers
The fat transfer is one way to add more volume to the patient’s face or to smooth out wrinkles. However, fillers are another method. Dermal fillers are specific injections with similar applications as the fat transfer. They can be used to add volume or to lift a part of the face without the need for surgery. That being said, the effectiveness of specific treatments depends heavily on the problems the patient has.
Skin Tightening
There are non-surgical procedures that can be used to tighten the skin. One such a device is the Venus Freeze, which is used for anti-ageing treatment, circumferential reduction, cellulite treatment, and skin tightening.
Surgical Versus Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures?
Most people believe that cosmetic procedures are surgical in nature, but this is not exactly true. Many cosmetic clinics provide non-surgical procedures too, where rejuvenation of the face can be obtained without the need for incisions. So, people who are looking to obtain a more youthful look do not necessarily have to go the surgical route.
Some of the procedures mentioned above are non-surgical in nature, but there are more. Common non-surgical procedures used in Australia include microdermabrasion, the Revlite Laser, Medlite Peel, Aura Laser, and Fruit Acid Peels.
Contrary to popular belief, patients looking for rejuvenation do not always have to choose a facelift to get the results they want. Non-surgical methods such as the ones described above can be used for cosmetic rejuvenation too.
As is the case with all cosmetic procedures, it is always a good idea to full inform yourself about the risks accompanying a certain procedure. Even if you take the non-surgical route, there can be side-effects patients should always be aware of.
Dr Lanzer always recommends seeking a second option to discuss any concerns or areas that you may queries about when under seeking any surgery.
