WHAT IS FACIAL SURGERY?

Facial surgery is a term used to describe any type of cosmetic surgery performed on the face. Many cosmetic procedures can fall into the category of facial surgery, including otoplasty, facelift, rhinoplasty, chin implants and more. Procedures are sculpted to correct each patient’s specific problem areas and improve their features so as to yield a rejuvenated, youthful look. By combining a number of techniques, facial surgery can reverse and eliminate the appearance of wrinkles, creases, folds, sagging skin or disproportionate features.
