If you’re considering cosmetic facial surgery but you’re not completely sure which is the best procedure for you, then you will find this information useful as you make your decision. Here are some of the most common facial procedures and their ideal candidates:

Facelift

A facelift is a surgical procedure where the skin on the face is tightened in order to smooth it out and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. There is more than one type of facelift, with a full facelift being the most common. However, you can also get a mid-facelift depending on what it is you want to achieve.

An ideal candidate for a facelift is in good health and has a good amount of skin elasticity. Facelifts are most commonly performed on people between the ages of 40 and 70 but they can be performed on younger patients too.

Brow Lift

A brow lift, also called a ‘forehead lift’, is a procedure where the skin on the forehead is tightened in order to reduce the appearance of frown lines, which are the deep lines that appear on your forehead with age. By eliminating these lines, you can achieve a natural looking and youthful appearance.

If you’re unhappy with lines on your forehead and want to soften your facial expression while also making your eyes look more youthful then a brow lift could be the perfect procedure for you.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, also known as “nose reshaping” or a “nose job,” can improve the appearance and function of the nose. From the bridge and nostrils to the tip and overall profile of the nose, nose surgery can correct a variety of aesthetic concerns. Nose surgery can improve the size, shape, and overall appearance of your nose. Rhinoplasty will help balance your facial features by creating a nose that is in better harmony with the rest of your face.

If you are unhappy with the overall appearance of your nose, you may be an ideal candidate for a rhinoplasty.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that’s used to remove excess skin from around the eyes in order to achieve a more youthful appearance by eliminating wrinkles and fat.

If you are unhappy with lines and wrinkles around your eyes; or you feel you have excess skin or fat in this area, then you might benefit from eyelid surgery.

Chin & Cheek Augmentation

Chin and cheek augmentation are surgical procedures that insert implants to permanently enhance the facial structure. Chin augmentation increases the projection of the chin, while cheek augmentation produces a fuller and more sculpted appearance. These two procedures can significantly improve your profile and facial definition to enhance your attractiveness with permanent, predictable results.

If your cheeks and chin lack definition and are causing you to have a weak profile, chin and cheek augmentation may be the facial surgery for you. Facial implants for the chin and cheeks can create a more distinct, sculpted facial structure to enhance your overall appearance.

Thread Lift

A thread lift is a minimally-invasive procedure done to correct sagging eyebrows and eyelids, aging neck tissues, and deep furrows between the nose and corners of the mouth. It can add volume while lifting certain areas of the face and jowls.

Most patients who receive a thread lift are between ages 35 and 45 and desire a facelift but do not have the amount of time off needed for recovery or who cannot afford the standard facelift.

Ideal candidates for any facial procedure are in healthy physical and psychological condition. They must have realistic expectations that they discuss with their surgeon during their consultation. Interested candidates should discuss their goals with Dr. Chiu in detail to determine which facial procedure would best accomplish their desires.
