Facial plastic surgery procedures, such as facelift and blepharoplasty, can accentuate your facial features and help you look alert and healthy. Read below to learn about the wide variety of procedures we offer at Cabbabe Plastic Surgery.
Brow Lift
As we age, the brow droops down and extra skin develops over the upper eyelid as the fat in the upper eyelid disappears. The muscle which keeps the eyelid up may weaken, making us appear “sleepy.” In addition, the deep structures of the upper eyelid weaken, causing the fat which is present below to “bulge.” Furthermore, the lacrimal gland in the upper eyelid which helps keep our eyes moist can also bulge and need to be tightened.
Chin Augmentation
Some people are born with chins that do not protrude forward enough or are “weak”. This can be remedied through a different approach: By the use of fat injections or fillers, the bone can be cut and advanced forward or a chin implant may be used.
Eyelid Lift
As we age, the brow droops down and extra skin develops over the upper eyelid as the fat in the upper eyelid disappears. The muscle which keeps the eyelid up may weaken, making us appear “sleepy.” In addition, the deep structures of the upper eyelid weaken, causing the fat which is present below to “bulge.” Furthermore, the lacrimal gland in the upper eyelid which helps keep our eyes moist can also bulge and need to be tightened.
Facelift
As we age, the thin eyelid skin under our eye descends down due to the effects of gravity. This gravity affects the cheek and also causes “jowl” formation and deepening of the nasolabial fold. This is worsened by loss of volume, or deflation, of the face and cheek. As a result, the eyelid skin which is usually over the cheekbone elongates and descends below the cheekbone, causing dark circles and giving a tired appearance. Also, the muscles of the neck weaken and fat accumulates in the neck. This produces neck “bands”, fullness in the neck and excess skin. Glands in the neck droop and can cause bulging on the weak tissues. Finally, the brow descends and extra skin develops in the upper eyelid. People raise their eyebrows to compensate, causing deep lines and furrows on the forehead. Fortunately, there are several options to improve these features.
Fat Grafting
As we age, the fat in our face decreases and the cheeks deflate and droop, but fat grafting in St. Louis can counter the effects of aging. Gravity causes the lower eyelid to elongate, the nasolabial folds to deepen and jowls to form. This can leave you with a “deflated” appearance. Facial fat grafting at Cabbabe Plastic Surgery can help reverse this. Dr. Samer Cabbabe is regarded as one of the best plastic surgeons in St. Louis and the U.S.
Lip Augmentation
One of the hallmark signs of aging is loss of volume in the face, including the lips. This process can be reversed by using collagen fillers or fat to augment the lips.
Lower Eyelid Lift
As we age, the thin eyelid skin under our eye descends down and elongates the lower eyelid due to the effects of gravity. This same gravity affects the cheek and causes “jowl” formation. As a result, the eyelid skin which is usually over the cheekbone descends below the cheekbone, causing dark circles and giving a tired appearance. Furthermore, the deep structures under the eyelid can weaken, causing bulging of fat and the appearance of “bags” or swelling under the eye and the “tear trough” deformity. Fortunately, there are options to improve this.
Mid-Face / Cheek Lift
As we age, the cheek deflates, or loses volume. As it deflates, it droops to a lower position. The lower eyelid elongates down, folds deepen across the cheek/mouth area (nasolabial fold) and jowls form. By restoring volume in the cheek, these processes can be reversed. This can be accomplished by means of collagen fillers or fat.
Neck Lift
As we age, the muscles of the neck weaken and can become more prominent and noticeable in the form of neck bands. Also, extra skin develops in the neck and fat may accumulate in the neck producing an aged appearance. All of these issues can be addressed with a neck lift.
Otoplasty
Some people are born with prominent ears that don’t seem to fold back. Also, as we age, our ears become larger, particularly the ear lobes. This can be a source of embarrassment for many people who will try to conceal their ears by growing their hair out longer. Fortunately, there are procedures that can address each of these issues to help restore your confidence.
