Face Lift and Neck Lift

The Fogli & Baker Face Lift & Neck Lift Procedure

Our faces age for many reasons. Heredity plays a role, as does gravity, which tends to pull soft facial tissues downward. In time our cheeks begin to sag, the crease running from the nostrils to the sides of the mouth is accentuated, and our jaw line and chin lose their smooth, refined appearance. As we age we also tend to lose some of out facial fat and our skin loses some of its elasticity, leading to more sagging of our features.

Exposure to ultraviolet light plays a role as well. Indeed, people who live in tropical climates, where the sun is strongest, often have prematurely aged skin, irrespective of their ethnic characteristics. In these areas, people may seek face lifts in their forties or even younger.

First described over 60 years ago, face lifts smooth and redefine the contour of the neck and jaw line to create a younger, more vital appearance.Years of research and experience have led to an increasingly sophisticated understanding of the ageing process, the more subtle elements in facial anatomy and the technical ways to restore a balanced and more youthful appearance.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Following childbirth and significant weight loss there are areas of fat deposition which are difficult to reduce despite regular exercise and dieting. The abdominal muscles are still lax and will bulge despite doing exercises to strengthen the “stomach muscles”.Abdominoplasty(Tummy Tuck) is the surgical procedure which removes the excess fat and skin apron that is otherwise difficult to reduce via conventional exercises. It is not a procedure or an alternative for weight reduction or as management for obesity.

Abdominoplasty is often combined with liposuction/liposculpture to contour the thorax and abdomen to give patients a defined and aesthetically pleasing figure.A Tummy Tuck requires a lower abdominal incision and can incorporate old caesarean scars with the added benefit of removal of some of the stretch marks. Patients should be aware that scar formation will occur; every effort is made to keep the scar within the underwear or clothing line.

Breast Augmentation: How It Can Help You

Given that breasts are an important feature of a woman’s appearance, it is inevitable that some women will feel conscious about the size and shape of their breasts. Women with smaller breasts are often looking to increase their size. Women with breasts that have lost volume and shape due to pregnancy or weight loss often seek to restore them to their former shape or correct their proportions. Breast augmentation surgery using breast implants can address these issues, often resulting in increasing a woman’s self confidence in her appearance.

Aesthetic Improvement

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries for women. It improves the overall appearance of a person by giving a shapelier contour.

Often women report that altering their breast size and shape gives them increased clothing options and the ability to wear clothes that they felt unable to wear or consider prior to surgery (such as bikinis).

Breast Reduction Benefits

Whilst many women seek to increase their breast size, having large breasts can come with its own set of issues. Large breasts can make a woman feel ungainly, unbalanced and out of proportion. In addition to causing neck and back pain, large breasts also make certain exercises embarrassing. Breast reduction and lift surgery is the appropriate procedure that will address these issues and for many women improve their quality of life.

Preparing for Surgery

One of the most common breast reduction surgery techniques involves using an anchor-shape incision. This technique involves an incision encircling the areola before going downward vertically; it will then follow the curve of the crease under the breast. Any excess skin and breast tissue will be removed. As a result, the skin will be used as a brassiere to redrape and contour the breast. Read More »
