Facial Surgery

1 – To counteract the effects of aging on the face

As the face ages, cheeks may hollow, neck skin may sag, jowls may appear, the skin may lose its radiance, and facial features may become less defined. These aging effects can cause sadness and a lack of confidence in patients seeking facial surgery, despite being a natural consequence of aging. In such common cases, a facelift can restore the tone and harmony of the face. Facial lipofilling can also address the signs of aging, providing a permanent result and rejuvenating the skin in a very natural way.

​​2 – To Correct Facial Imperfections

Facial cosmetic surgery can also correct imperfections that may cause discomfort and insecurities, such as protruding ears (otoplasty) or a nose considered too high or too large (rhinoplasty). The age of patients seeking facial surgery to correct unappealing aspects varies greatly, including young adults who have been self-conscious since adolescence or even childhood, as well as more mature individuals who have finally found the courage to correct a flaw in their appearance.

To provide the most accurate idea of the transformations that will be made to their face, the cosmetic surgeon will create a computer simulation. The goal of facial surgery is to meet the patient’s expectations while preserving the harmony of facial features and the natural look of expressions. A preliminary consultation is always necessary, and it can be repeated to give the patient ample time to thoroughly discuss their expectations.

Smoking and cosmetic surgery: what are the precautions

The goal of facial cosmetic surgery is to achieve discreet results that appear natural. Scars are carefully placed within natural folds to become nearly invisible. It’s crucial to discuss your expectations with your cosmetic surgeon (Dr. Benjamin Sarfati) to understand achievable outcomes.

Generally, patients undergo surgery under general anesthesia. The duration of the operation varies depending on the nature of the procedure. Post-operative care and recovery also differ based on the type of surgery. For instance, a facelift may require a few days of downtime, whereas facial lipofilling allows for immediate return to work.

Healing times may vary, and scars are always placed discreetly. For more specific information on the procedure and post-operative care, please refer to the links above.
