Best Face Neck and Chin Procedures

Is it hard to ignore the signs of aging when you see your reflection in the mirror? No worries: You can melt the years off your face with many cosmetic procedures performed by your plastic surgeon.

Below is more information about the face, neck, and chin procedures that can make you look years younger.

Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures For The Face

You can have many cosmetic procedures that make your face look years younger, both surgical and non-surgical. Below are some of the most popular non-surgical options.

Botox

This is one of the most popular, non-surgical options to smooth facial wrinkles.

Botox involves several injections in various parts of the face that paralyze the facial muscles that cause wrinkles. Trendy areas include the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Botox injections are simple, take a few minutes, and involve no downtime. Results last three or four months, so if you want to extend the results, remember to make a follow-up appointment with your doctor.

With a few yearly injections of Botox, you can make your neck and face look smoother and younger without surgery.

Dermal Fillers

As we age, we start to lose volume in the face which causes wrinkles, drooping, and sagging. Fillers will help replace that lost volume and make a face look plumper and smoother again.

Fillers such as Juvederm are injected in problem spots in the face to smooth wrinkles and firm up sagging skin. Many patients choose dermal fillers to plump up the cheeks and increase fullness in the lips.

Dermal filler injections take about an hour, and the results can last as long as two years. Also, you can have different fillers that boost collagen production around the eyes and lips which will melt years off your face.

Chemical Peels

Do you long for the radiant face of your 20s? A chemical peel could be a great choice. This procedure improves and enhances the texture of the face. A chemical peel removes the top layer of skin, so you have younger, fresher skin left behind.

This procedure results in tightened, smooth, and fresh-looking skin. Chemical peels are often done on the face and work well in the chest, hands, and neck. A chemical peel also can help with acne scars, rough skin, wrinkles, sun spots, and fine lines.

Surgical Cosmetic Procedures For The Face

Some procedures for the face require surgery that includes local or general anesthesia. Below are the most popular surgical options to make your face look younger.

Facelift

A facelift is performed by the surgeon making incisions around the perimeter of the face. The plastic surgeon lifts and repositions the skin. Next, he tightens the connective tissues and muscles underneath. Removing extra fat and skin also may be necessary for optimal results.

A facelift can eliminate sagging skin and wrinkles to take many years off your face. You will have some swelling and bruising for about two weeks, and the final results take up to six months.

Chin Surgery

Have you wished for a stronger, more prominent chin? You can have a chin implant that will provide you with a stronger, more even face. Another option is to have chin reduction surgery by altering the underlying bone structure. Your plastic surgeon can perform many procedures on your chin to correct the most common problems.

Another chin option is for your surgeon to remove extra tissue and fat to make you appear younger. Many patients choose chin surgery for a fast, dramatic improvement in their appearance.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is another name for a nose job, which can reshape the bone and cartilage in your nose.

Your plastic surgeon may reshape your nose by adding, removing, or rearranging the bone, cartilage, and skin of the nose. Because the nose is such a prominent part of your face, just a slight change can dramatically alter your appearance.

Rhinoplasty involves wearing a splint and bandages for about two weeks, so you may need to take time off work for your recovery. But if you work at home, you can have this surgery, and few will know about it.

Dermaplaning

Your surgeon uses a fine surgical blade or laser to remove the top skin layers on your face. It removes dead skin, oil, and dirt. In its place is smooth, healthy-looking skin. The procedure takes just 20 minutes, and you see almost immediate results.

Necklift

The neck is one of the first places that you show your age. Horizontal creases and fatty jowls can make us look much older than we are.

A neck lift boosts the appearance of your neck by tightening the muscles and skin and enhancing the contours of the jawline. This procedure may be performed with liposuction or facelift, but some patients do it as one surgery.
