When it comes to rhinoplasty, there are many different types of procedures that can be performed, including cosmetic, functional, ethnic, revision, and reconstructive rhinoplasty. However, these subsets of the procedure are typically not performed as standalone procedures. They are instead usually combined to help give patients the results they seek.

When most people think of aging, wrinkling and sagging skin top the list of noticeable changes to one’s appearance. However, there is more to the aging process than just these changes, including a somewhat subtle sign of aging that can change the appearance in a significant way: facial volume loss.

The lips may not be the first feature people think of when plastic surgery comes up, but lip treatments and lip surgery are extremely popular. We may all have diverse lip shapes and degrees of lip fullness, but many people would like fuller, shapelier lips. Women in particular tend to covet fuller, defined lips, especially as age starts to deplete some of the lips’ natural plump. But people of all ages seek improvement to the appearance of their lips. Whether extra fullness is desired or the effects of aging have caused wrinkling and thinning of the lips, there are a number of options for lip rejuvenation.

If your eyes are making you look tired all the time, then you may be noticing some of the first signs of aging. While some people have genetic eye bags or puffiness, the majority of aesthetic issues in this area are related to aging. The skin around the eyes is often the first area people begin to notice age-related changes, and while there are good options for surgical eye rejuvenation (eyelid surgery), many patients are interested in pursuing a less invasive option.

When it comes to plastic surgery, you want to be able to customize your procedure as much as possible. These days, our understanding of the effects of aging is much better than it once was, and facial plastic surgeons understand that everyone ages at a different rate, and in different areas of the face more quickly than others. This is why a full facelift can be a great idea for people with significant signs of aging in several areas of the face.
