FACIAL SURGERY

Eye Lid Surgery - Blepharoplasty

An excess of skin of the upper eyelid may lead to obstruction of the visual field (overhanging eyelids), and a tired look.

This can be improved by removing the excess skin, and repositioning the deeper fat compartments. Both the upper and lower eyelids can be corrected.

A blepharoplasty results in a fresher, younger look, with scars that in most cases are almost invisible and well concealed.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, takes an hour to perform and is done in day clinic.

During your consultation your surgeon will discuss with you the technical options and the possible adjunctive procedures. Your surgeon will guide you in your choice. He will also discuss with you the possible discomforts and complications.

FaceLift

A tired and aged aspect of a face is a result of several factors including sun damage to the skin and wrinkles, combined with sagging and a loss of fat in the face. This gives a rather hollowed out aspect in the upper half of the face, and unaesthetic lines at the lower half of the face (sagging of tissues, deeper naso-labial grooves, loss of a nice jaw-line and an unsightly neck).

These problems are addressed both by the repositioning of the deeper tissues, and by the redraping of the skin (after removal of excess skin). This is done through an incision that runs from the temporal region, along the ear down to the ear lobe.

A Face lift restores the aesthetic lines of the face with a repair of the jaw line, lip angles and mouth creases (naso-labial fold), and fuller aspect of the cheeks. This gives the skin a tighter and therefore younger aspect.

Additional procedures that are often combined with a facelift include: eyelid surgery, brow lift, lipofilling (fat injections).

A Face lift is performed under general anaesthesia (in limited cases under local anaesthesia), takes three hours to perform, and requires a night stay in the hospital.

During your consultation your surgeon will discuss with you the technical options and possible adjunctive procedures. Your surgeon will guide you in your choice. He will also discuss with you the possible discomforts and complications.

Brow Lift

When the eyebrows (mainly the lateral extremities) hang low over the eyes, it may lead to a tired and a sad look.

This problem can be addressed by a brow lift, in which the lateral ends of the brows are elevated through an incision in the scalp (temporal area). This will give you a fresher look (with eyes that look wider open). The operation is often performed in combination with eyelid surgery.

This procedure is performed under general anaesthesia (local anaesthesia is possible as well), takes an hour to perform and is done in day clinic.

During your consultation your surgeon will discuss with you the technical options and possible adjunctive procedures. Your surgeon will guide you in your choice. He will also discuss with you the possible discomforts and complications.

Nose Correction - Rhinoplasty

Often patients come to the consultation for the correction of their nose for both aesthetic and functional reasons. The psychological discomfort they experience this can sometimes be big. Most patients complain of aesthetic problems of the back of the nose (dorsum) or of the tip of the nose. Functional problems often manifest themselves in difficult breathing, and snoring that can result in a bad quality of sleep (and sometimes daytime fatigue).

These problems can be addressed by a rhinoplasty. Through a tiny incision that is almost invisible to the problems can be addressed in stages.

This procedure is done under general anaesthesia, takes one to two hours to perform and requires a hospital stay of one night.

During your consultation your surgeon will discuss with you the desired results. He will also discuss with you the possible discomforts and complications.
