Skin Removal Surgery in Temecula
As training residents in Plastic Surgery, we were taught that “plastic surgery concerns itself with the skin and all of its contents”. In other words, we were expected to know not only what is going on with the skin but really the anatomy of the entire body. But counter to that is the fact that almost all procedures we perform in cosmetic surgery involve lifting, removing and even changing the texture of skin.
Though training in plastic surgery has gone 360 in terms of ideas, the actual surgery has continued to change and evolve over time. Case in point is the revolution in face lifting. Facelift procedures lift the face to restore a youthful, natural appearance. In the olden days, it was just the skin that was lifted but with further advancement, attention was directed to the deeper tissue. It turns out that lifting and directing deeper layers gives a stronger but paradoxically smoother and more even result. In fact, with these newer lifts, it’s usually hard to tell, even as a plastic surgeon, that a patient has had a face lift.
