The winter holidays are around the corner, and that means attending parties, corporate events, and family gatherings. Many patients have facial concerns—such as an aged appearance or acne scarring—that can be addressed in the weeks before the holidays. Read on for a brief list of facial procedures to be done before the holidays arrive.
Eyelid Lift
An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is a common facial procedure that can significantly reduce the aging appearance that often comes from sagging eyes. Sagging upper eyelids make patients appear tired and aged. Drooping fat pads under the eyes can also cause dark circles and an tired appearance. A blepharoplasty procedure addresses these issues to bring out a more vibrant, rested and youthful appearance before the holidays begin. It is best to schedule this procedure at least six weeks before important events to ensure that the healing process is complete.
Facelift
A facelift can have many variations depending on the patient’s concerns. However, the procedure typically includes tightening the facial skin and supportive structures of the neck and face to provide a youthful appearance. Facelifts can address the concerns with the neck bands, extra skin in the neck and jowls. It is important to allow plenty of time for recovery and to follow the plastic surgeon’s guidelines for healthy results.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing can range from a fully ablative procedure to a less invasive minor procedure that can reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. The lighter laser procedures are a great solution to address any minor concerns a patient may have regarding his or her appearance. New technology, such as the VECTRA imaging technology, can also show a realistic representation of the results a patient can expect after recovery. This is a great way to get excited for upcoming holiday events.
