Aesthetic (cosmetic) operations and procedures of the face are, by far, the largest group of cosmetic procedures. This group of procedures ranges from non-surgical rejuvenation techniques such as Botox® and Restylane® to specialty operations such as blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), rhinoplasty (nose job), and rhytidectomy (facelift).

The face is constantly exposed to the sun and the environment leading to damage to facial skin and premature aging. With time, there are numerous changes that affect facial appearance such as wrinkles, sagging or loose skin, and a “tired appearance.” Many of these can be easily improved.

The most important first step in facial rejuvenation is a proper evaluation by a plastic surgeon skilled in all aspects of facial rejuvenation. Only a surgeon with specialty training in aesthetic (cosmetic) plastic surgery can provide a comprehensive evaluation that will help formulate a customized treatment plan. This plan may include skin care, non-surgical cosmetic treatments, and/or specific surgical procedures depending on the issues that need to be addressed.

Whatever the reason, aesthetic (cosmetic) plastic surgery of the face can provide psychological, aesthetic, and personal benefits for the right candidate. To find out if facelift, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), or rhinoplasty (nose job) is right for you, please make an appointment with Jerome Liu MD or Tom Liu MD.
