Embarking on the journey of facial refinement requires a nuanced understanding of various procedures. In this all-encompassing Q&A guide, we address your prevalent questions and concerns surrounding brow lifts, face lifts, neck lifts (platysmaplasty), and otoplasty, providing insightful perspectives on each transformative procedure.
Brow Lift
Q: What does a Brow Lift involve?
A: A Brow Lift addresses signs of aging, such as frown lines and droopy eyebrows. Dr. Page employs minimally invasive techniques, making incisions discreetly behind the hairline. Excess skin is removed, and muscles are adjusted to elevate the eyebrows for a natural appearance.
Q: How long can I expect the results of a Brow Lift to last?
A: The longevity of Brow Lift results varies, generally lasting several years. Aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices influence the duration.
Q: Is there an age limit for undergoing a Brow Lift, and what considerations should be taken into account?
A: While there isn’t a strict age limit, candidates typically show signs of aging. Dr. Page assesses each individual’s unique circumstances during consultations, considering both aesthetic and medical factors.
Face Lift
Q: Can a Face Lift be combined with other cosmetic procedures for a more comprehensive result?
A: Yes, Dr. Page often combines Face Lift surgery with other procedures to achieve holistic enhancement. Personalised plans are discussed based on individual needs and goals.
Q: Are there non-surgical alternatives to a Face Lift, and when might they be recommended?
A: Non-surgical options like dermal fillers and thread lifts exist. Dr. Page evaluates factors such as sagging degree and patient preferences to determine the most suitable approach.
Platysmaplasty (Neck Lift)
Q: How soon after Neck Lift surgery can I resume regular exercise, and are there any restrictions?
A: Patients can generally resume light activities within a week, but more strenuous exercises should be avoided for 4 – 6 weeks. Dr. Page provides tailored advice based on the extent of the procedure and the individual’s healing progress.
Q: What kind of scarring should I expect after a Neck Lift, and how can it be minimised?
A: Incisions are discreetly placed to minimise visible scarring. Dr. Page emphasises proper wound care and adherence to post-operative instructions as crucial in minimising scarring.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid)
Q: What is Blepharoplasty, and what areas does it address?
A: Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can be performed on the upper and lower eyelids, or both. Dr. Page focuses on removing excess fat and drooping skin, enhancing both aesthetic and medical aspects.
Q: Are there different approaches for upper and lower eyelid Blepharoplasty?
A: Yes, the upper eyelid procedure removes excess fat and drooping skin through a discreetly hidden incision in the upper lid crease. The lower eyelid procedure addresses excess fat and tightens skin with an incision inside the eyelid.
Q: What is the recovery process like for Blepharoplasty?
A: Recovery takes 1 – 2 hours in a fully accredited hospital, with local or general anesthesia. Swelling settles within days, and bruising resolves in two weeks. Makeup can conceal bruises, and most patients can resume usual routines within this time.
Otoplasty (Ear Correction)
Q: Can Otoplasty be performed on adults, and is there an upper age limit for the procedure?
A: Otoplasty is typically performed on individuals over five or six years old. While there isn’t a strict upper age limit, candidacy is assessed based on individual health and specific procedure requirements.
Q: How soon after Otoplasty can I expect the final results, and are there any post-operative care tips for optimal outcomes?
A: Final results are visible after three months, with initial improvements observed sooner. Dr. Page recommends following post-operative care, including wearing head bandages and avoiding certain activities to optimise healing.
