Cosmetic Facial Surgery procedures
Operations that address the ageing face are facelift, for the lower and sometimes mid-portion of the face, brow lift for the forehead and eyelid surgery.
Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) chin re-modelling ( augmentation or reduction) fall more under the perspective of re-balancing of the facial features. This has been increasingly brought together under the term facial sculpting, as more often than not the aim is to increase definition in the features of the face and improve proportions.
Autologous (one's own) fat transfer and liposuction to the lower face and chin areas are surgical procedures that complement either the rejuvenation of facial sculpting efforts, by correcting either excess or deficit of facial fat. Otoplasty, for correction of prominent ears has been a part of facial cosmetic surgery for many years.
An increasing amount of facial cosmetic surgery can now be performed as a day-case and in some cases under a local anaesthetic.
