Our face is the most iconic and elusively beautiful form in the world and its description has defied the works of sculptors and artists since the beginning of civilization. That we feel it is most beautiful could be explained by the fact that it is the first thing we see when we come into the world. The face is not only a thing of beauty but is the center point through which we receive and send information with others. And our faces tell we are different from others but in many ways alike.
So there are elements all faces have in common and facial plastic surgery attempts to define these commonalities and to recreate them as the aging process takes its toll on the youthful facial form. This task might seem difficult but the elements of beauty still rest within the face. Modern day face lift techniques return loose skin and tissues to their original position and in doing so reignite the already present beauty and original character within the face.
There are changes to the face that we identify as signs of the aging process such as wrinkles but the loosening of skin and soft tissues of the neck can exist even in youth. Over time, laxity can worsen and we then gaze into the mirror and come to not recognize ourselves but rather another person, perhaps an older relative and we then decide it’s time to take steps and do something about it.
Facelift surgery not only restores tissues to their natural and youthful position but also helps restore proportion between the facial elements and helps to bring harmony to the parts of the face. Face lifts restore definition and create separation from the neck. Facelifts can even affect the scale (size) of the face and as we look to reestablish beauty of the facial form, the whole of these themes become important. These ideas are explained more deeply as one proceeds through the gallery and looks at facelift surgery before and after photos. Please enjoy them.
