What is a facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the face, neck, and jawline. It is intended to reduce wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. The procedure involves making small incisions in the skin, usually along the hairline, to access the underlying muscles, fat, and other tissues. Excess fat and skin are removed, the facial muscles and tissues may be tightened, and the skin is then redraped and smoothed. This helps reduce wrinkles, create a more youthful-looking jawline, and make the face appear more contoured. In some cases, other procedures may be performed in conjunction with a facelift, such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or liposuction. Following surgery, patients may experience some bruising, swelling, and discomfort. However, most patients experience a significant improvement in their appearance following a facelift.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a type of plastic surgery used to change the shape and/or size of the nose. It is designed to improve the appearance of the nose and enhance facial balance. Rhinoplasty can be performed for both medical and aesthetic reasons. Common medical reasons include correcting a deviated septum, improving breathing, and repairing damage caused by injury. Common aesthetic reasons include reducing the size of the nose, changing the shape of the tip or bridge, and narrowing the nostrils. During rhinoplasty, the surgeon typically makes incisions inside the nose or across the columella (the bridge of tissue between the nostrils). The surgeon then shapes or removes cartilage and tissue to alter the shape and size of the nose. The incisions are then closed using sutures or surgical tape. In some cases, the surgeon also uses implants to augment the nose. Recovery times vary depending on the type of rhinoplasty procedure, but can take up to two weeks. Rhinoplasty can have dramatic results and significantly improve the appearance of the nose.
