As we get older, the skin on our face loses its elasticity, causing wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin to become more prominent. While many people seek facelifts and other facial surgeries to address these signs of aging, many are concerned about their results looking unnatural.
The face is our most visible area and cannot be hidden with clothing. Because of this, facial plastic surgery must be handled with the utmost care.
Age-Related Cosmetic Facial Surgery
If you want to improve common signs of aging that appear on the neck, face, lips, eyes, and forehead, such as:
- Wrinkles
- Loss of volume
- Sagging
Your best options include the following:
Plastic Facial Surgery for All Ages
For those who were born with features that appear too small or large compared to the rest of their face, the following complaints are common:
- Large or protruding ears
- A prominent or asymmetrical nose
- A “weak” chin
- A “double-chin”
The surgical remedies for these conditions include:
- Otoplasty (cosmetic ear surgery)
- Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
- Chin augmentation surgery
- Reduction neck lift
Regardless of your motivation to improve your facial appearance, if you want to achieve natural results, there are a few things to consider. The best way to achieve that is by choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.
What to Look for in a Reputable, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon?
The main thing for patients to consider is your cosmetic surgery provider. Be sure that they:
- Have excellent credentials
- Perform facial plastic surgeries often
- Are experienced in advanced facial surgery techniques
What Contributes to Unnatural-Looking Plastic Surgery Results?
Dr. Bravo prioritizes natural-looking results that are seamless from all angles, also taking into account movement and feel. His advanced techniques help ensure that common tell-tale signs of unnatural plastic surgery do not occur.
Unfortunately, not every surgeon does this, and this can lead to less-than-natural-looking outcomes. Some of the most significant errors include:
Not Looking at the Face as a Whole
With facial rejuvenation, everything needs to be considered.
When performing facial plastic surgery, it is essential to look at the individual elements (nose, eyes, lips, chin, jawline, cheeks, etc.) as well as how they blend together.
If your surgeon changes your nose, they must consider how that change will affect the eyes and the lips, and if changes to those features are necessary, they must be done to maintain a natural and harmonious look.
Dr. Bravo commonly combines facial plastic surgery and non-surgical techniques to blend results. He pays attention to every little detail to ensure natural-looking improvements.
Thinking of Facial Features as Static Only
While they are both artists who sculpt and refine three-dimensional objects, a distinguishing aspect exists between sculptors and plastic surgeons: a sculptor does not have to consider their sculpture may move.
A plastic surgeon does.
Our facial features are not static; they are constantly in motion. Because of this, your plastic surgeon must consider how your facial results will seem when you are looking straight ahead, down, or while smiling. Conventional plastic surgery techniques, such as traditional neck lift procedures, do not always consider this. While these techniques look beautifully crafted when the patient looks forward, the magic disappears as soon as they flex their neck, for example, while looking at their cell phone.
To address this, Dr. Bravo performs a reduction neck lift that targets the deep structures of the neck to allow for more natural movement, shadows and transitions between the face and neck.
Being Too Aggressive or Too Conservative
It can be easy to be overly aggressive or too conservative when performing facial rejuvenation procedures.
Often times, surgeons may be too aggressive around the eyelids and lips; however, these structures are essential to our identity. If too much is changed there, you may no longer look like yourself.
On the other hand, some specialists are too conservative around the jawline and neck, performing small lifts or simple liposuction, which unfortunately do not provide reliable long-term or effective results.
Dr. Bravo remains very aware of where his patients are starting from before their plastic surgery procedure. His goal is for patients to look younger — not different.
