London, UK – 10 August,
2005
Norman Waterhouse (www.norman-waterhouse.com), a leading London-based
consultant plastic surgeon and Head of the Craniofacial Unit
at Chelsea and Westminster today discusses the different types
of facelifts – and why, just like individual ageing patterns
– they are not all created equal.
According to Norman Waterhouse,
consultant plastic surgeon and former President of the British
Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS);
"The truth is there are many different ways of surgically
rejuvenating the ageing face , and the best way to guarantee satisfaction
in the result is by becoming educated about the process itself
and by being aware of one's personal needs and goals."
The decision to have a facelift in order to appear refreshed
and rejuvenated is not an easy one, and yet once it is made
a seemingly unending list of choices follow. Which procedures
to have? What are the risks? Can more than one improvement be
performed during the surgery? When to have it done?
According to Norman Waterhouse;
"Facelifts are not magical time-reversal procedures, but when
performed correctly the results are subtle and pleasing to the
eye, leaving a patient who had been looking tired and wrinkled
looking fully refreshed, more youthful and vital, and not 'operated
upon'."
Currently facelifts are as diverse as people themselves,
so electing the appropriate one for each patient is fundamental.
The optimal choices can be made by analysing the patient’s
features, age, gender, lifestyle and special requests. Following
are a few of the most common types of facial rejuvenation surgeries:
The range of procedures and their application can be bewildering
for potential patients. Consultation by experienced surgeons providing
independent, professional advice is essential to choosing the
most appropriate technique.
