The skin over the face is analogous to a drape.
The shape of the face is determined by the
underlying skeletal framework. In some
individuals, this framework is not as pronounced
as in other individuals and they may appear to
have a flattened face or small, recessed chin.
A cosmetic surgeon may be able to add facial
implants to the facial skeleton to accentuate
the areas of the cheek bone, chin, nose, and
angle of the lower jaw. These skeletal
augmentations re-drape and tighten the skin of
the face. This provides a more healthy and
youthful appearance without the need for a more
extensive skeletal lift procedure. The surgery
is performed from within the mouth with no
visible scars. Immediate results are evident. |
