Facial Sculpture And Implants in Andheri, Mumbai

Facial implants are designed to enhance the facial features by creating volume and smooth, round contours- creating a proportional and balanced appearance. Although they can be used alone, facial implants are often used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures like with AFT, Rhinoplasty , Buccal fat pad excision & Botox to completely transform the face in selected patients.

Considering

As we age, the effects of gravity, exposure to sun and the stress of daily life can be seen on our face. The skin and muscles become looser, forming folds and bands in the neck, the jawline grows slack, deep creases form between the nose and the upper lip.

The best candidates for a face lift are men or women whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Most patients are in their 50’s – 60’s, but face lifts can be done successfully on people on both sides of the spectrum.

Changes can occur in the upper, mid, and lower portions of the face and as such different procedures target each of these areas. The brow lift & other periorbital rejuvenate procedures correct the upper face, The mid face lift specifically corrects the aging changes of the lower eyelids, cheeks and nasolabial regions. The lower face/neck lift corrects these areas too but has a stronger emphasis on the jowls and neck regions.

A face lift can be combined with other procedures to achieve a more harmonious result. A good facelift should be one without the usual tell-tale signs of such a procedure.

Facelifts need to be approached with caution in patients who have Hypertension, chronic smokers, those with clotting problems and tendency to form excessive scars. Be sure to inform your plastic surgeon of these conditions.
