A face gives an individual his or her unique identity. Every individual, irrespective of gender takes great care of their facial skin in various ways. Our face is not just for mere appearance, it also performs various functions, like expressing emotions through facial expressions.
Our face does not need much; all it needs is cleansing, toning, moisturising, and sun protection. The face is the first thing that anyone notices about us so we do everything in our power to enhance our facial features to become self-confident. Since face is associated with boosting an individual’s morale, sometimes, several people take the aid of facial cosmetic surgeries to get the appearance they so desire.
At ENT Head and Neck Clinic, we provide various facial cosmetic surgeries (both invasive and non-invasive) to our esteemed patients in South Asia. Here is an insight into the cosmetic surgeries offered at our healthcare centre.
Rhinoplasty
Our nose is a vital sense organ that helps us in smelling and breathing. Rhinoplasty is a commonly performed surgical procedure to correct or reconstruct the anatomy of the nose. Usually, rhinoplasty is required when the patient wants to change the appearance of his or her nose; medically, rhinoplasty becomes necessary when the existing nose affects breathing.
Rhytidectomy
Rhytidectomy also called facelift is done to remove sagging skin caused by ageing of the face. This surgical procedure helps in removing fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of ageing to give the face a youthful appearance.
Lip augmentation
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that aims at making the lips fuller and plumper. Lip fillers are injections that are commonly used to enhance the appearance of the lips temporarily. Lip or dermal fillers can be of different types, the most commonly used lip fillers are filled with hyaluronic acid as these fillers are safer and last for a longer period when compared to other ones.
Chin augmentation
Chin augmentation or chin enhancement surgery (Mentoplasty/ Genioplasty) is an invasive surgical technique that helps in reshaping the size of the chin to improve the overall appearance of the face. During chin enhancement surgery, the cosmetic surgeons insert implants or reshape the bones to get the desired facial structure.
Cheek augmentation
Cheek augmentation or cheek implants can be used to give the individual fuller and softer-appearing cheeks. Sometimes, the surgeons even opt for fat grafting to give the patient chubby and healthy-looking cheeks.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty or in other words, also known as ear reconstruction surgery is requested by the patients to alter the size, shape, and position of their ears. Usually, ear reconstruction surgery becomes a requirement when the patient’s ears are large compared to the head’s proportion. Ear reconstruction surgery is highly recommended by ENT surgeons to be done at a younger age in order to be more successful.
