Someone who desires browlift surgery may have noticed the effects of aging, changes in skin elasticity and sagging, exposure to sunlight and the elements, and the stresses inherent in life all taking a toll on a person's face. The facial muscles and other tissues begin to droop slowly, causing the face to look tired or sad. These changes can affect an individual's confidence, self esteem and self image, leading them to have a browlift surgery procedure.

A brow lift surgery procedure can help restore a youthful look to the face. The changes to a person's face brought on by the effects of aging, exposure to the elements and stress are virtually undone to restore a person's face. A Plastic surgeon accomplishes this by removing a portion of skin and tightening the muscles and other tissues that are causing the skin to droop. This surgical procedure not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but it also restores self-confidence, self esteem and improves the patient's self image.

Browlift surgery is a very individualized procedure. Your goals and expectations of the results should be realistically determined and discussed with your surgeon. Together you will determine what specific procedures will need to be performed. A brow lift procedure is often performed along with other procedures such as a face lift, nose job, or eye surgery.

While there are usually only minimal risks or complications when a facelift is performed by a skilled and experienced cosmetic surgeon, it is important that you follow the surgeon's instruction closely in order to minimize the chance of any possible risk factors. A condition called Hematoma C, a collection of blood under the skin, can possibly occur with a surgical procedure and, must be removed by your surgeon. The nerves that control muscles in your face can possibly be injured; however, research has shown that any damage is usually temporary. As with any plastic surgery procedure, infection of the surgery site is a possibility, and some patients reported a negative reaction to the use of anesthesia. For those patients that smoke, nicotine effects blood circulation, and therefore,  a longer recovery period is required.

When you consult with your surgeon, your face, skin, and underlying bone structure will be evaluated. Also, your medical history will be reviewed in order to check for potential surgery-related issues, including high blood pressure, potential blood clotting, or if your skin shows a tendency to form large, excessive scars. During your consultation, it is also recommended that you discuss both your expectations and your goals with your surgeon in order to ensure the best possibility for your desired, results.

My sister is always telling me about how she hates her face. She doesn't like the way her skin is red and blotchy, and she has a lot of fine lines and wrinkles. Is there anything that can be done to help her?

There are several procedures available to help your wife see a difference in her skin condition, and procedures that can help treat fine lines and wrinkles. These two issues and related, but can be treated differently. Red skin and “blotchy” skin problems are usually treated with laser skin resurfacing and IPL (Intense Pulse Light Waves). There are several different types of laser treatments, and we will examine a few here:

Photoderm Laser/Photofacial/IPL- This light source laser effectively treats many concerns on various parts of the body including red blotchiness or blood vessels, irregular pigmentation, fine lines or general sun damage of the skin! There is relatively no downtime with this procedure.

Active FX Laser – This laser treatment can be utilized for everything from fine lines to the not-so-fine lines! Sun spots to sagging skin! This non-ablative laser produces similar results to ablative lasers, such as the CO2, without the downtime associated with them. Below is a before and after photo that illustrates the results of this laser treatment.

Fraxel Laser – This laser is a new approach to "resurfacing" the skin with many of the benefits of an ablative laser but virtually no downtime. This laser treatment eliminates old epidermal cells (brown spots or age spots) while penetrating deep into the dermis to improve fine lines, wrinkles and general skin discoloration. Your skin will be softer, smoother, fresher, with improved quality, tone and texture. Stretch marks and scars can also be successfully treated with this laser. Below is photo depicting the before and after results of a Fraxel Laser Treatment.

These are just a few of the many laser treatments available for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. New York Dermatologist Dr Karyn Grossman recommends learning more about Laser Skin rejuvenation before electing to have a laser treatment.

Fine lines and wrinkles can be treated solely with laser skin rejuvenation, however there are other alternatives and depending on your skin condition, and other factors, one of these procedures may be right for you.

Lipotransfer - By removing fat from one area of the body where it is not wanted and injecting it into other areas where it is needed, you can achieve a soft filling effect unlike any other filler substances. By storing some of the fat and injecting it periodically, your enhanced appearance will be consistent. Fat can be used to plump up lips, fill in the nasal labial folds or the hollows of the cheeks, to "create” cheekbones and plump up hands.

Filler Lift - Dermal fillers such as restylane, Juvederm, Botox and Sculptra are commonly used in cosmetic dermatology as an instant esthetic treatment. A dermal filler injection is one of the few procedures to provide immediate improvement or enhancement of appearance with little or no down-time. There are many different fillers available today. However, it is not uncommon for physicians to suggest the use of one product for the treatment of multiple areas of concern.

As always, before choosing to have any procedure it is recommended you research your desired procedure(s) and locate a skilled, experienced and qualified specialist such as a cosmetic dermatologist. Be sure to schedule a consultation and have all your questions answered.

There are several websites out there, and alot of them have accurate , in depth information. One excellent site I have discovered for researching both surgical and non-surgical plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures is Lookingyourbest.com. Here you can not only find procedural and safety information, but they also offer a free service to help you locate the right plastic surgeon for your procedure. Remember, Taking the proper steps and understanding all this is involved with any procedure can mean the difference between a positive experience and a nightmare.

I had a brother born with a deformed ears. The other day I was talking to my brother and was asking him if he was tired of his ears not looking normal. I told him that I would do some research for him cause he is not that good on the internet.
So I went home and did some research for him in finding a plastic surgeon who could give him his self confidence back.  A week later after i did research I told him that I found this plastic surgeon in Fresno,California. So we called and made the first appointment and was able to get his concerns and the question about the procedure. He was also was able to see before and after pictures of the Otoplasty (ear surgery).
Five months later he looks great and his ear looks great. He now has his self confidence back. He is happy with the results.

She will be able to see other patients who have had the procedure called Rhinoplasty ( nose surgery ). She was glad that I was there before the kids would have hurt him worse if i was not there.

Recently I was talking to my mom and she was telling me that she has this friend that would like to have a face lift. She was telling me that i would have to do the leg work cause she is not good on the computer. So I told my mom that i would help her find a surgeon near her.
Through my research i was able to find this plastic surgeon Huntersville,  North Carolina.
