Patients seek facial plastic surgery for both medical and cosmetic reasons. Most seek facial surgery in hopes that it will allow them to feel more confident, youthful, and attractive. With a simple procedure a person’s ability to take on the world can be dramatically improved. Thus, one of the many reasons that the number of patients seeking cosmetic facial surgery has risen greatly in the past few years.

As a person ages, more emphasis is put onto the appearance he or she presents to the outside world. The importance of appearance, coupled with innovative technology has helped lead to an increase in those wanting facial plastic surgery procedures. And facial plastic surgery is no longer limited to aging older women. More and more young women and men are also seeking facial surgery procedures. Often patients seek a subtle change that they feel drastically improve their appearance.

While there are many avenues a patient can choose when deciding on a specific facial surgery, the most well known procedures are face/eye/brow lifts and nasal surgery. One of the main reasons a person opts for facial surgery is to achieve a youthful appearance and a lift procedure is the best way to achieve this. In these procedures a patients area of interest is tightened, and wrinkles are reduced. The benefit of these procedures is that they can take years of worry and stress lines away, and are minimally invasive while producing extremely positive results.

Forehead and brow lifts are very similar in that both require only 7-10 days for recovery and are less involved procedures than a face lift. While a facial lift is more intensive because it involves tiny incisions and an actual lifting or removal of excess skin that has become droopy or saggy overtime, all three procedures are done with the same end goal in mind; the patient wants to look younger.

As mentioned before there are many various facial surgeries a patient can have done. However, nose surgery still remains the most common because a nose surgery has both medical and cosmetic reasons behind it. In addition, many young people of both genders desire the procedure. A nose surgery, or nose job, can completely change a patients face in a natural manner, ridding a person of unwanted bumps, or a simple reshaping and refining can be done to help a patient receive the nose they desire.

Emory Healthcare understands the importance of facial plastic surgery, be it medical or cosmetically driven, and therefore has an entire center dedicated to surgical and non- surgical procedures. The Emory Facial Center is refined and private and puts the needs of its patients first. The staff provides the highest level of care and for those seeking facial surgery the Emory Facial Center is a great option.
