For many people, the first time they entertain the thought of plastic surgery is to change the shape of the nose. As a teenager, the nose becomes a focal point of the adolescent face. Changing the size and shape of the nose to balance the other facial features is common in males in their late teenage years, 20's and 30's. Frequently, reconstructive surgery to improve nasal breathing is performed in conjunction with this procedure and is usually covered by insurance.
The importance of the appearance of the eyes cannot be underestimated. The eyes provide non-verbal communication and serve as the focal point of the face. More than any other facial cosmetic procedure, eyelid surgery has the ability to rejuvenate one's appearance. Blepharoplasty can correct a "sad" or "tired" appearance by removing the bulging fat ("bags") and excessive and wrinkled skin of the eyelids.
As men get older, the neck is an area that men often despise. A facelift or a neck lift can correct the "turkey wattle" that develops as a result of sagging neck skin. A tightly contoured neck that restores the masculine jaw line can make a striking difference in making a man look younger and fit. A facelift addresses the cheeks as well as the neck.
Having large, prominent ears can be embarrassing for both adults and children. Children born with this condition are often the subjects of jokes and ridicule, which can lead to poor school adaptation and problems with self-esteem. Otoplasty is a procedure that corrects prominent ears by reshaping the ears so that they are closer to the head.
Cosmetic ear surgery may be performed safely in an office-based surgical suite, an outpatient surgery center or a hospital. The surgery can be performed under general anesthesia-in which case you are completely asleep-or local anesthesia with sedation, in which case you remain awake, but drowsy, relaxed, and without pain.
