Each Face Requires a Different Angle: Perspectives on Facelift Procedures

Unique facial characteristics define a person's individual look and dictate the parameters of a successful cosmetic facial procedure

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 5, 2012 — A person's facial features — the bone structure, muscles, and skin — define how that person looks. A facelift should not change these features in ways that will make the patient look like a different person. A well-executed facelift aims to rejuvenate an aging or tired-looking demeanor.

Know Your Goals

A surgeon sensitive to individual goals knows how to use his experience to help patients look rejuvenated, but still like themselves. The San Diego plastic surgeons at the La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre therefore spend time with each patient to discuss options and develop a plan to achieve the most natural results.

Our surgeons examine physical factors, consider your skin's condition, and discuss expectations well before surgery. Your bone structure provides a guide for the lines of your facial work. Your underlying tissue is another factor that influences the surgeon to recommend techniques that will best serve you. Age also plays a role, as aging skin responds differently than younger, more elastic skin. Only after a thorough examination do board certified plastic surgeons performing San Diego facelifts determine how to proceed with facial cosmetic surgery.

Facial Surgery for Men

Men choosing facial plastic surgery need to choose surgeons who are experienced in male facial procedures. Men's faces require a different, more masculine approach, and your physician needs to recognize these important differences. First, the surgeon must consider your facial hair pattern. In addition, the adipose (or fatty) tissue that lies underneath the skin is tougher and more fibrous in men, requiring more rigorous techniques. Liposuction on the neck requires a keen sense of balance to produce satisfactory results. A San Diego facelift specialist experienced in male cosmetic surgery understands these differences and makes the appropriate procedural adjustments.

Choose Experience

Reputable plastic surgeons also listen to your goals and recommend procedures consistent with your timeframe and budget. Choosing a qualified, experienced surgeon increases your chances of receiving a facelift, eye lift, or brow lift that achieves your goals. Board certified San Diego plastic surgeons undergo rigorous training and follow a strict code of standards that governs both their certification and the accredited facilities in which they operate. A surgeon's level of experience with male and female procedures, as well as skill in attaining a patient's expectations, make all the difference.
