Shreveport Facial Plastic Surgery Procedure FAQs
What is facial plastic surgery?
Facial plastic surgery focuses on improving the appearance, balance, and function of the face and neck. Procedures may be cosmetic (to enhance aesthetics) or reconstructive (to restore form and function after trauma, disease, or congenital conditions). Treatments are tailored to each patient’s facial anatomy, goals, and long-term outcomes.
What are the most common facial plastic surgery procedures?
Some of the most frequently performed facial plastic surgery procedures include:
- Facelift
- Neck lift
- Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
- Brow lift
- Lip lift
- Otoplasty (ear surgery)
- Submental Liposuction
Non-surgical options such as dermal fillers, laser treatments, and skin tightening procedures may also be used alone or in combination with surgery.
Am I a good candidate for facial plastic surgery?
Good candidates are generally healthy individuals with realistic expectations who are bothered by specific facial concerns such as sagging skin, facial aging, asymmetry, or structural issues. A personal consultation is the best way to determine candidacy, as factors like age, skin quality, medical history, and aesthetic goals all play a role.
At what age should someone consider facial plastic surgery?
There is no “right” age for facial plastic surgery. Some patients seek procedures in their 30s or 40s to address early signs of aging, while others pursue surgery later to restore a more youthful appearance. The decision is based on individual anatomy and concerns, not age alone.
Will facial plastic surgery look natural?
When performed by an experienced facial plastic surgeon, results should look natural, not overdone. The goal is to enhance your features while preserving your unique facial identity, creating a refreshed and balanced appearance rather than an artificial look.
Are facial plastic surgery procedures safe?
Facial plastic surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified, board-certified facial plastic surgeon in an accredited surgical facility. As with any surgery, there are risks, which are discussed in detail during the consultation so patients can make informed decisions.
How much does facial plastic surgery cost?
Costs vary depending on the procedure, complexity, surgeon expertise, and geographic location. Pricing may include surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, facility costs, and follow-up care. A personalized consultation is necessary for an accurate estimate.
How do I choose the right facial procedure for my concerns?
Choosing the right procedure depends on what areas of the face concern you most. For example:
- Sagging cheeks and jowls may be best addressed with a facelift
- Loose skin and muscle banding in the neck may require a neck lift
- Drooping eyelids may benefit from eyelid surgery
A facial plastic surgeon evaluates facial structure as a whole and may recommend a combination of procedures for balanced, natural-looking results.
Can facial plastic surgery procedures be combined?
Yes. Many patients combine procedures to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation in a single surgical session. Common combinations include facelift with neck lift, eyelid surgery with brow lift, or rhinoplasty with chin enhancement. Combining procedures can reduce overall recovery time and create more harmonious results.
How long do facial plastic surgery results last?
Results vary by procedure and individual factors such as genetics, skin quality, and lifestyle. Surgical procedures like facelifts or rhinoplasty can provide long-lasting improvements, often for many years. While surgery does not stop the aging process, it can significantly reset and slow visible signs of aging.
What is recovery like after facial plastic surgery?
Recovery depends on the specific procedure and whether multiple treatments are performed. Most patients experience swelling and bruising initially, which gradually improves over several weeks. Many people return to non-strenuous activities within 1–2 weeks, with full healing continuing over several months.
What should I expect during a facial plastic surgery consultation?
During a consultation, your surgeon will:
- Review your medical history
- Discuss your concerns and goals
- Examine your facial anatomy
- Recommend appropriate procedures
- Explain risks, recovery, and expected outcomes
This visit is also an opportunity to ask questions and ensure you feel confident in your treatment plan.
