Brow Lift (Browplasty)
A brow lift is a common aesthetic facial procedure for both men and women. It aims to raise the brows and tighten the skin above the eyes in order to give the skin a smoother and more youthful look. The procedure can benefit people who have low or sagging brows and wish to liven their appearance. Since every patient has different reasons for seeking a brow lift, your surgeon will apply techniques that best suit your requirements and goals. You can discuss the best approach to surgery during your consultation with Dr Fraser-Kirk to help you attain the best results for your particular case.
The brow lift procedure can offer a number of aesthetic purposes. For example, by lifting the brows, patients can achieve a higher brow arch, a reduction in facial wrinkles, and long-lasting results compared to other anti-ageing treatments. Many patients feel that their brow lift procedure has given them a smoother and refreshed appearance and helped increase their confidence levels.
Eyelid Reduction
The eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. As we get older, not only do lines and wrinkles appear around the eyes, but the skin can lose its elasticity and adopt a sagging appearance. Eyelid reduction surgery aims to reduce excess skin above the eyes, helping men and women rejuvenate their looks. While this procedure is often done for aesthetic reasons, it can also improve eyelid function and correct vision issues caused by excess skin.
The procedure typically involves discreet incisions in the natural crease of the upper eyelids. The surgeon removes the excess skin from the area and reshapes the tissue to create a tighter but natural appearance. Also, eyelid reduction can address the lower as well as the upper eye region. Lower eyelid surgery can address drooping lower eyelids, under-eye wrinkles, and puffiness. Regardless of your reasons for seeking eyelid reduction, Dr Fraser-Kirk tailors the surgery to your natural eye shape and goals to achieve excellent results.
Face Lift (Meloplasty)
A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to lift and tighten the facial skin. Although it is often associated with women, both men and women can benefit from the procedure. Surgeons perform facelift surgery by making vertical incisions from the hairline and down past the ear in order to lift the facial skin and underlying tissue. This smooths the skin, reduces lines and wrinkles, and creates a more natural youthful appearance.
Patients may seek this procedure to enhance their natural features and improve facial contours in the lower two-thirds of the face. The procedure can address a variety of issues such as lost facial volume, unwanted fat deposits, and loose skin in multiple areas. Facelifts can also be combined with other surgeries such as neck lifts in order to optimise results and improve your overall appearance. Your surgeon will work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that offers natural and lasting results.
Lip Lift (Philtrum reduction)
Lip lift surgery is a common procedure that can enhance the appearance of your upper lip. It is also called philtrum shortening, as it involves shortening the length of skin between the lip and the nose. By reducing this space of skin, the procedure results in a more “turned out” top lip, which creates the illusion of increased lip volume. The procedure can also improve a low or bottom-toothed smile, shorten a naturally long philtrum, and create better overall facial proportions.
Lip lift surgery involves a small incision just underneath the nose, following the natural shape of your philtrum. It is often called “bullhorn” surgery, due to this curved incision shape. The surgeon will remove a small amount of skin, according to your facial anatomy and desired outcomes. This creates natural-looking lip fullness. Suitable for both men and women, the procedure can be a great option for patients who are seeking lip enhancement without the use of fillers.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty, or ear correction surgery, is performed on the ears to reduce their size or prominence. It may be performed on children as well as adults, due to the fact that children’s cartilage is soft and malleable. The procedure generally involves moving the cartilage in the ears into a more desired position, usually to move the ears closer to the head. In other cases, a patient may desire to alter the shape of their ears, correct symmetry problems, or reduce the size of the ear lobes. Whatever your surgical needs, speaking to a qualified face surgeon will help you understand your options and guide you through the surgical process.
The otoplasty procedure can help correct many cosmetic issues, such as asymmetry, ear protrusion, or misshapen ears from injury or trauma. Sometimes, cosmetic issues with the ears are genetic. Since the exact techniques depend on the individual goals and situation of the patient, each surgery might be different. Your surgeon will develop a surgical plan that suits your needs and provide you with information about benefits, risks, and recovery. If you are interested in pursuing otoplasty ear correction surgery, speaking to a trained and qualified surgeon such as Dr Fraser-Kirk can help.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular facial surgeries for both men and women. It aims to change the appearance of the nose by adjusting the shape, size, angle, or projection. Rhinoplasty, or “nose surgery,” can address a number of different issues, both visual and functional. While some people seek the surgery to change the length, width, or height of their nose, others want surgery to improve breathing function or correct asymmetries due to injury. Whatever your reasons for seeking the procedure, rhinoplasty surgery can help sculpt a more ideal nose shape.
There are several surgical techniques for rhinoplasty procedures, including the “open” technique and the “closed” technique. The surgical methods used during your procedure will depend on your natural nose shape, health, and desired outcomes. Since everyone has different goals and facial anatomy, Dr Fraser-Kirk will outline a tailored treatment plan that helps you achieve the most ideal result for your case.
