Surgery methods are available for cosmetic purposes, trauma recovery, and improved health, and they can be performed to offer a natural appearance. Somerset Plastic Surgery has experienced surgeons who perform facial and body procedures. Here is more information on how to achieve natural-looking results with plastic surgery:
Natural-appearing Reconstruction
A plastic surgeon is able to provide breast reconstruction after a mastectomy to restore the shape and look of the breast. Depending on the case, the plastic surgery procedure can be done directly after a mastectomy; this allows for a new breast mound to be created directly after removal. One method utilizes breast implants, which place a tissue expander under the skin to stretch it until the permanent implant is placed. A surgeon can also utilize skin from another part of the body through flap reconstruction; they take skin from the patient’s thigh or back, offering a natural-appearing breast. The surgeon will check the chest tissue and scarring beforehand. During our consultation process, you can discuss your priorities for the surgery, such as improved body symmetry.
Combined Facial Surgeries
Surgeons may offer combined facial surgeries; this helps create results in a single procedure. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, addresses sagging upper eyelids, undereye bags, and puffiness. During surgery, the surgeon removes excess tissue or eyelid fat from the eyelids.
While discussing candidacy, a surgeon determines whether you have healthy skin elasticity. The remaining skin after excess removal can become tighter. This creates a natural drape over the area, and it enhances the cosmetic results.
A surgeon is able to combine eyelid surgery with a facelift or brow lift. A facelift removes or repositions fat to lift and contour the face for a smoother appearance, addressing mouth creases and jowls. Brow lifts adjust muscles over the eyes, and they offer a smoother look. Performing eyelid surgery and a brow or facial lift simultaneously allows for raised eyebrows that fit facial proportions. Combining surgeries provides an overall balanced appearance for a natural look.
Gentle Fillers
Dermal fillers are injections that are designed to create a more youthful appearance. Juvederm is a gel that offers gentle changes to improve fine lines, wrinkles, and thinning lips. It is made from hyaluronic acid; this is found in the body, making it biocompatible. The material works with collagen and elastin in the skin to offer increased volume.
Three formulas are available, and they are optimized for the depth of the area. Treatments can last between six and nine months. To help retain the results longer for a more natural effect, schedule a follow-up appointment several weeks after the injection.
