Facelift
See Rhytidectomy
Facial Implant
A facial implant is cosmetic plastic surgery to change the shape of
the chin, check, or jaw. This procedure is typically done to enhance
certain facial features, or to bring a certain aspect of the face
into proportion with the rest of the facial structures.
Facial Plastic Surgeon
A facial plastic surgeon specializes in cosmetic and/or reconstructive
surgery of the head and neck only. In most cases a facial plastic
surgeon has been board certified in otolaryngology (ear, nose and
throat ? ENT) and proceeds to complete the board examination in facial
plastic surgery.
Fat Injections
Fat withdrawn from one body site can be injected into another, such
as to smooth lines in the face or build up other features such as
the lips. Usually a percentage of injected fat is reabsorbed by the
body, and the procedure must be repeated. Injection of fat to enlarge
the breasts is a dangerous procedure and is not recommended because
of the possibility of dense scarring that may seriously hinder accurate
interpretation of both breast self?exams and mammograms.
Fat Suction
Fat suction is the use of suction to remove liquefied fat, usually
through a cannula.
Fibrel
Fibrel is a synthetic substance which is an alternative to collagen
and fat injections for the treatment of facial wrinkles. As with collagen
and fat, fibrel treatments must repeated at intervals to maintain
correction.
Flap Surgery
Flap surgery is one type of surgery that involves transporting healthy,
live tissue from one location of the body to another, often to areas
that have lost skin, fat, muscle movement, and/or skeletal support.
There are several different types of flap surgery methods that may
be utilized, depending upon the location of the flap and the structures
that need to be repaired.
Forehead Lift
A forehead lift is the surgical removal of excess fat and skin, as
well as a tightening of the muscles in the forehead area. It can correct
sagging brows or deep furrows between the eyes. It is often done in
conjunction with a facelift in order to create a smoother facial appearance
overall.
