Understanding Facial Cosmetic Surgery

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Facial Bone Surgery

facial cosmetic surgeryFacial expressions are very important when it comes to communication and interaction with others. Your appearance has a great impact on how you are perceived by others. Some people would like to change certain features on their faces. Facial abnormalities like cleft lip, birthmarks and birth defects are very common, this is why many people desire to have them corrected. Korean plastic surgery is widespread because most people believe that having a perfect face is the key to success. Cosmetic surgery in Korea is considered a practical solution as far as aesthetic beauty is concerned. Most effects of sun damage, facial trauma and aging are noticeable on the face, luckily most of these defects can be corrected by undergoing facial plastic surgery.

Why consider this surgery?

Otolaryngologists identify and correct many abnormalities involving the entire face, neck, lips, ears and nose. Facial cosmetic surgery is an element of otolaryngology that may be subdivided into cosmetic and reconstructive categories. Reconstructive surgery is performed on people with conditions that are in born. These include cleft lip, protruding ears, crooked smile and facial birthmarks. Other conditions caused by burns, trauma and accidents are also rectified with this form of surgery. Additionally, reconstructive procedure is also necessary for treating existing conditions such as skin cancer and others.

Cosmetic facial surgery is done to enhance the appearance of certain features and facial structures. Eyelifts, liposuction, facelifts, rhinoplasty and cheek implants are some of the common procedures. The results after these procedures are impressive especially if performed with a well trained and experienced otolaryngologist surgeon. For instance, cheek implants before and after photos can provide proof of what cosmetic surgery can do.

What you ought to know before going for facial cosmetic surgery?

Your surgeon ought to discuss in detail the risks, alternatives, recovery and benefits of the procedure with you. You will be more relaxed and contended when you have all the details at hand. You should find out the number of procedures that the surgeon has carried out and if they were successful. Moreover, you must know what kind of preparation is necessary and the number of hours the surgery will take. Advice on the medications that should be avoided before surgery is also very important.

Risks may include: blood clots, numbness, nausea, infections, anesthesia reactions and bleeding. Furthermore, you should avoid smoking approximately 2 weeks before the surgery for quick healing.

Understanding the cost to be incurred and payment options prior to undergoing the procedure is crucial. Insurance usually covers reconstructive surgery but you should confirm with your insurer. If you will cater for all the expense then find out the payment options available.

Examples of procedures involved:

Blepharoplasty-surgery to the eyelids to enhance the eyes appearance

Rhinoplasty- surgery of the nose which involves restructuring to enhance the function and appearance of the nose

Face contouring surgery- the procedure is done to correct uneven facial structure and improve a person's overall appearance with distinctive features.

Brownlift-surgery to correct droopy eyebrows and forehead wrinkles

Facial reconstruction- to reconstruct facial skin defects due to injury, prior surgery or disease.

Recovery

You may not be required to stay for long in the hospital but this depends with the extent of the facial cosmetic surgery. Some procedures are done on outpatient basis while others require you to stay in the hospital for one or two days. However, your surgeon will advice you on how to treat the incision area, medications to avoid, restricted activities and special diet to follow. By following these instructions, you will have a quick recovery.
