Aesthetics Aesthetic enhancement means making changes to the overall balance and appearance of your face. Sometimes the change is subtle, other times more dramatic. Perhaps the nose you were born with is larger than you would like, or you have sustained some trauma that changed the appearance of it. Regardless of what the reason is, you are now considering altering the shape and size of your nose. The surgery, commonly known as a "nose job" is called rhinoplasty. Last year alone, nearly 300,000 people nationwide had this procedure done. In fact, it was the number one surgical procedure chosen by men in 2005, with 99,680 men nationwide choosing to have their nose reshaped. Individual features of the face, including the chin, cheekbones and jaw line, have a profound effect on the overall balance and natural beauty of your entire face. These areas can be enhanced with facial implants to replace or augment the contours of your face, resulting in a more graceful, symmetrical look. In addition, implants as well as injectables are effective in the softening of nasolabial folds and the enhancement of the lip area. Protruding ears can cause embarrassment and cause children to be tormented by their peers. Many adults wish to correct the appearance of their ears in order to accommodate different hairstyles that they might have felt self-conscious about in previous years. Cosmetic surgery is used to correct many types of undesirable ear appearances. The most common is correction of the protruding ear – ("Otoplasty"). This surgery allows the ear to be reshaped and, when necessary, nestled closer to the head for a more natural, attractive appearance. Isolated fatty deposits in the cheeks, jaw line and neck are sometimes an inherited trait and often do not respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction can effectively remove excess fat from the face resulting in a more refined and permanent facial contour. Additional aesthetic surgical procedures may be combined with liposuction when the skin has lost its elasticity due to the natural process of aging. |
