Facial Enhancement Surgeries to Restore Your Youth

If your face has lost some of its youthful glow, it may be time to consider a surgical procedure to repair damage caused by aging and sun exposure. Check out this list of procedures that can restore your young, vibrant look.

• Cheek Lift: Cheeks tend to sag or lose volume as skin elasticity deteriorates. Dr. Perlman of the Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre uses a suture technique called loop suspension that lifts cheeks with as few incisions as possible, leaving you with firmer cheeks and less scarring.

• Eyelid Lift: If you’ve developed bags under the eyes or saggy eyelids, Dr. Perlman can remove small amounts of eyelid skin and reshape the under-eye area to eliminate a puffy or droopy appearance. The fat pads are no longer totally removed. They are trimmed and repositioned back behind the orbital rim to give the eye a more youthful look.

• Face Lift: Through aging, skin loses elasticity and volume, creating jowls around the jawline and drooping cheeks. If you’d like more than just a cheek lift, a face lift will tighten and firm your cheeks, chin, jowls, and other features of your face and profile in one procedure. Dr. Perlman has utilized as many as five different types of facelift depending on your individual problem. "One size does not fit all" according to Dr. Perlman.

• Facial Implants: If you’d like to add more contours to your face, consider facial implants. These implants will add volume and shape to your chin, jaw, or cheeks. Combine this treatment with a face lift to make your face look even more youthful. The most common facial implants are chin implants. Cheek implants are also becoming more popular.

• Brow Lift: Deep horizontal creases on your forehead can make you look worried or sad, but a brow lift will tighten skin and restore a youthful appearance. This procedure can be performed with a face lift for full facial rejuvenation. Dr. Perlman was the first plastic surgeon in Houston to utilize the endoscopic brow lift. This approach requires small incisions behind the hairline to minimize loss of sensation in the scalp.

• Lip Augmentation: Your lips lose collagen as you age, giving your mouth a tight, thin appearance. To reverse this effect, lip augmentation surgeries can be performed to insert either fillers or implants to make your lips look full and supple again. Over the last 15 years Dr. Perlman has used different permanent implants. "We are getting great results with the Permasil silicone implants. They feel very natural and have very few complications."

Let Dr. Perlman restore your youthful glow with one or more of these procedures. In his 30 years of experience, Dr. Perlman has perfected various plastic surgery techniques to give you the best results. Call (281) 205-4006 to reach the Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre in Houston.

Dr. Perlman on the Upper Abdominal Lift

Many patients seek body contouring surgery for looseness of the abdominal skin, particularly after childbearing or after massive weight loss. Traditional abdominoplasties, or tummy tucks, involve making an incision horizontally across the top of the pubic region and extending the incision laterally to the hip bones. The skin and fatty tissue are then elevated off the underlying fascia (the glistening white tissue) and muscle. The fascia and muscle are then flattened out with sutures that plicate the tissue. The extra skin is then pulled down and removed and the incision closed. This will flatten out the lower portion of the abdomen below the belly button, but does not always flatten out the upper portion. For this problem, I have been working on a solution I call the upper abdominal lift. I have to give my wife credit for the idea. Through an incision in the inframmary crease beneath the breasts, I dissect down and grab the tough fascia layer. I then pull it up and suture it with permanent sutures, to the ligamentous tissue over the ribs. I then remove a small ellipse of skin. This flattens out the upper abdomen nicely and the results appear to be lasting. The scar is inconspicuous. The procedure works great, especially if the patient is having breast surgery (either an augmentation and/or lift) done at the same time as the abdominal surgery.

Dr. Perlman of the Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre has over 30 years of experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery. From, tummy tucks to breast augmentation, you will be in great hands! Call (281)205-4006 to schedule a consultation today.
