FACE

Your face is generally the first thing that people see when they see you. When we talk about the first impression we make, we speak of “putting our face” out into the world, because the world responds to us based on our face. Unfortunately, our faces are often the first parts of our body to be ravaged by illness and ageing. The skin on our faces is exposed to the elements and the weather more than any part of our body, and this can damage the skin tissue on the face, leading to signs of aging. The skin on our faces also tends to be quite delicate and thin, so signs of illness and fatigue show up quickly on this part of our body.

It is possible to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetics and expensive creams to soothe away wrinkles and other problem spots. Many creams today, in fact, claim to offer similar results to cosmetic surgery. Many manufacturers claim that face creams penetrate deep into your skin to target problem areas. The truth is, if creams and potions could do that, you’d be in some trouble. The skin exists to keep things out, so if a cream could really penetrate deeply into the skin, that would mean that your skin was failing in doing its basic job. If creams and potions could really mimic the results of plastic surgery, then that means that anyone could make major changes to your face – without any training or licensing. That’s a scary thought.

With skin creams and lotions, the old adage is true: if it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is. There is no magic in a tin. Skin creams and lotions can soothe away minor signs of aging and can delay some of the signs of aging, but if you want permanent, dramatic results that turn back the clock, cosmetic surgery is still the best option.

Luckily, face treatments have come a long way in recent years. Today’s procedures are less invasive, leave less scarring, and are often very well tested on many patients. Today’s procedures can also beautify absolutely every area of your face. Ear surgery or otoplasty can give you the ears you have always wanted while lip enhancement can give you that perfect pout. If you want to target aging, especially in the eye area, eyelid surgery or a forehead and brow lift make the area more youthful. To combat aging all over your face, face and neck lifts and facial contouring are popular options. Nose refinement or rhinoplasty can give you that perfect little nose you have always wanted.
