As you age, natural changes in your body can cause various cosmetic concerns in your face and around your eyes. For example, skin can lose elasticity or begin to bulge and sag. Wrinkles and creases may appear.
In some cases, the brows droop, the cheeks descend, and the lower eyelids and neck loosen. Cosmetic eye and facelifts can turn back the clock and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance to improve your confidence.
Mann Eye Institute offers several types of cosmetic lifts to meet each person’s unique needs and goals. Our experienced cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Rohan Verma, will consult with you to determine which procedure will provide optimal rejuvenation and a natural look.
Upper & Lower Eyelid Lifts
Over time, the skin under the eyes can bulge outwards, causing under-eye bags that impact your confidence. On the other hand, drooping upper eyelids can make you look tired or unwell.
However, eyelid surgery, such as blepharoplasty, can rejuvenate the area around the eyes. During upper eyelid blepharoplasty, oculoplastic surgeons remove excess skin and fat to lift the upper eyelid.
This eliminates hooding and can even improve peripheral vision. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes puffy fat pockets, eliminating under-eye bags.
In both procedures, the incisions made during the procedure are carefully hidden in the natural creases of the eye to produce a beautiful result. In some cases, blepharoplasty can be combined with other procedures to provide a refreshed look.
Forehead or Brow Lifts
Forehead lifts smooth out deep horizontal creases across the forehead, lifting sagging brows. This creates a more open, youthful eye area and expression.
There are several ways oculoplastic surgeons perform this procedure. The best method depends on factors like hairline position, extent of sagging, and desired outcome.
Regardless of technique, forehead lifts reduce furrows, lift brows, and minimize creases to restore a youthful, refreshed look to the upper face.
Cheek Lift
Over time, the cheeks can lose volume and descend. A cheek lift, sometimes called a mid-face lift, restores a heart-shaped middle face by lifting sagging cheek skin and correcting the flattened cheek fat pad.
Like other oculoplastic and cosmetic procedures, the incisions are hidden within the hairline and natural creases around the ear. Through these concealed incisions, cheek fat is repositioned higher.
In some cases, excess skin can be removed. After a cheek lift, your cheekbones can appear more defined, and the face looks naturally rejuvenated.
Facelift
A facelift, also called a Rhytidectomy, treats moderate to significant sagging around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. During a facelift, facial skin is gently lifted upward, and excess skin is removed.
Then, the underlying muscle and tissue are tightened. The skin is draped back over the newly contoured facial tissues for a smoother, more youthful profile.
Facelifts are an excellent option to help reduce signs of aging on the face and can allow you to have a more refreshed appearance.
Neck Lift
Skin laxity in the neck can cause “turkey neck,” which is sagging skin, vertical bands, and excess fat under the chin. A neck lift can correct these cosmetic concerns by tightening loose skin on your neck, reducing fat, and defining the jawline.
During a neck lift, Dr. Verma can lift, tighten, and smooth the neck skin. The delicate neck tissues are reshaped into a more contoured, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
