People choose to do all different combination of plastic surgery procedures at once, but some of the most common are the face lift, the neck lift, breast augmentation, and the tummy tuck.



Face Lift

A face lift is a procedure designed to get rid of many fine lines and wrinkles in the face. It begins with an incision made along the hairline or just behind the hairline. The skin is gently loosened from the muscles below.

The surgeon carefully repositioned and augments if necessary the underlying muscles and tissues, after which she pulls the facial skin upward and tight and removes the extra skin. The face is sewn back together at the incision point, placing the future scar in a very inconspicuous place.

While it may take a few weeks or months for the swelling to subside, the results are the most long-lasting of any cosmetic facial procedure and certainly produce a younger, fresher look for years to come.

Neck Lift

Nothing gives away your age faster than wrinkles and sagging in your neck. A neck lift can help hide that age by smoothing out your neck skin, giving you a younger appearance. The process is very similar to the face lift, except that the incision is made under the chin or jawline.

The skin is pulled upward and the excess skin is excised. The recovery period involves some rest and refraining from a lot of neck twisting or straining for the initial post-surgery period. Yet after the swelling and pain subside, you are left with a tighter looking neck that is reminiscent of much younger days.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is very popular in combination with all sorts of other procedures, especially with breast lifts. Breast augmentation involves inserting breast implants on top of or under the pectoral muscles.

There are several different techniques used to do this so the incision might be made just under the breasts in the natural crease, through the underarms, or even in the naval. Silicone implants are pre-filled and often provide a more natural look and feel, but saline implants can be filled after they are inserted offering ease of adjustment.

The recovery includes a week off of work while you rest and the pain dissipates. The swelling will take a month or slightly longer to subside. The results are permanent unless a revision surgery is needed and most patients are very satisfied with their procedures.

Tummy Tuck

Finally, the tummy tuck is a way to get tighter, firmer, slimmer abs. The tummy tuck removes extra belly skin, can pull out unwanted fatty deposits through liposuction, and allows the surgeon to tighten the abdominal muscles by suturing them together. The results are much firmer and more toned looking abs that inspires greater self-confidence in bathing suit weather!
