How to Completely Prepare for Delaware Facelift Surgery

Categories in: Face Procedures, Facelift

Rhytidectomy or facelift surgery is a serious and major cosmetic procedure. After all, if done well by a skilled plastic surgeon, the procedure can dramatically improve the appearance of your ageing or sagging cheeks, jowls, jaw line, and neck area. Designed primarily to elevate and reposition the drooping facial tissue to a higher and youthful position, rhytidectomy can help you achieve a more rejuvenated, younger looking appearance.

Since preparation is a big chunk to the success of most human endeavors, it is essential that you know what to do – before, during and after the surgery operation day. That said, while a complete preparation plan should be in handy, you should keep your composure throughout the whole process of facelift operation so that you can do the right things as planned instead of unnecessarily pressing the panic button and compromise the success of surgery.

Surgeon Communication

Perhaps the most crucial to overall success of facelift surgery is the quality of communication with your chosen plastic surgeon. You must be able to communicate your specific aesthetic goal and your surgeon should come up with a realistic surgery plan to achieve your objective.

During consultation and pre-op stages, there must be a thorough discussion regarding the benefits, risks, and even post-op care for your intended procedure. Furthermore, you should be made aware of the particular surgery technique that would be utilized by your surgeon, especially with respect to incision location and anesthetics. As much as your surgeon should be straightforward in exchanging surgery details with you, you must also be honest and open with respect to your medical condition and lifestyle status that could possible compromise the outcome.

In all this, it is corollary that you should pick a plastic surgeon with proven skills and expertise on facelift surgery.

Thus, the patient has to be exacting on the change that he/she will want to achieve and must pick a surgeon who has proven record of successful nose jobs. On the part of the surgeon, he or she should also be exacting in soliciting the specific desires of each patient. Thus, the surgeon must consequently have the optimal surgery skills and should be meticulous with details, safety, and sense of aesthetics.

Points to Note: For a Chin Augmentation Surgery Ideal Candidate

Categories in: Face Procedures

Chin augmentation procedure is typically performed as complementary to nose surgery (rhinoplasty). When a rhinoplasty is undertaken, chin augmentation is often suggested to provide harmony to facial appearance or at least to balance out the facial features. But these days, chin augmentation (aka mentoplasty) is performed more and more as a standalone procedure than in combination with other surgeries. At any rate, you should seek the guidance and counsel of a capable plastic surgeon when you are thinking of augmenting your chin.

Chin Augmentation Surgery is generally performed using implants to alter the chin’s shape by increasing its projection and/or width. The ultimate goal is normally to either improve the balance of your facial profile or correct a “weak” chin, or both. In order to achieve the desired effect, an implant made either of porous biocompatible material or solid silicone is utilized. Moreover, aside from achieving a stronger and wider chin, you may also opt for chin implant to lengthen your face if that is your concern.

With full training and experience, Delaware Plastic Surgeon Dr. Saunders performs chin implant procedures with the masterstroke of a skilled doctor to match with his well-developed aesthetic prowess. He utilizes the latest and yet safe gadgetry to strike out the delicate balance of your chin with the rest of facial features. He also works closely with an anesthetic specialist to make the whole operation comfortable and painless for you.

But before any chin surgery is undertaken, the Board Certified Surgeon will examine you closely if you are ideal candidate for the procedure. For one, you must be in good health and have a normally functioning immune system. You must not be a chronic smoker or you should be willing to quit smoking weeks before surgery. You should also have clear and reasonable expectations with the surgery result. Furthermore, you will be reminded by Dr. Saunders that there are other temporary options like tissue fillers, especially if you are not yet convinced with the permanent effect of a chin surgery.

Categories in: Face Procedures

“Bags” and “hooding” may sound like nice accessories to have to achieve a certain fashion look. But definitely, drooping bags and hooding can make you feel and look old when they are found around your eyes. The eyelid drooping may be caused by a combination of factors, but usually: ageing, stress and gravity. To regain a younger appearance, you may choose to have the facial procedure known as eye-tuck or eye lift or eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty.

Yes, the surgical procedure comes in many names. But for Delaware Plastic Surgeon Dr. Christopher Saunders, he ordinarily refers the procedure as “eye-tuck” to patients. With years of surgical experience, Dr. Saunders can authoritatively say that, depending on a patient’s specific eyelid issue, there are many different methods to perform eyelid rejuvenation. There is no one way to perform an eye-tuck operation. The Delaware Surgeon will discuss with the patient as to the most suitable technique with respect to his cosmetic concern and aspiration.

At any rate, during consultation for Eye Tucks Delaware, Dr. Saunders will    closely evaluate your entire eyelid area and even the the surrounding face. You may have a cosmetic problem concentrated on either the upper or lower eyelid, or both. An eyelid surgery plan will then be tailored to your particular needs, as well as keeping in mind that the procedure should take on a careful and meticulous approach.

The Board Certified Surgeon utilizes extremely “privileged” incisions during surgery, meaning the incisions also fade extremely well. Furthermore, he always wants to produce natural-looking results, not “over done” looks at all. The best results, according to Dr. Saunders, is by “keeping facial balance and maximizing a natural appearance.

Blepharoplasty surgery is one of the component procedures of Dr. Saunders’ Facial Rejuvenation service. You may have eye tuck as a standalone procedure, or undergo it in combination with other facial procedures such as facelift surgery.
