Facial Plastic Surgery Treatments
Facial Plastic Surgery & Treatment Options
Facial plastic surgery is be important as our facial expressions allow us to interact and communicate with other people.
Unfortunately, our appearance has an impact on how others perceive us.
While some would like to improve certain parts of their face, others are born with facial abnormalities such as a birthmark, or other birth defects.
Fortunately, many conditions such as the effects of ageing, sun damage, or facial trauma can be corrected through procedures performed by a skilled surgeon.
Why should I consider facial plastic surgery?
Facial surgery is one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery performed for both men and women in the UK.
It’s chosen for a variety of reasons including both aesthetics and functionality. It might be that you’re affected by premature lines, wrinkles and slack skin due to excessive sun exposure, smoking or major weight loss or that you’re naturally ageing.
You will have the choice to have your procedure undertaken at either the Nuffield Hospital in Plymouth or the Duchy Hospital in Truro.
Reconstructive facial plastic surgery
Reconstructive facial plastic surgery is performed for patients with conditions that may be present from birth, such as birthmarks on the face, cleft lip and palate, protruding ears, and a crooked smile, that also affect normal function.
Other conditions that are the result of accidents, trauma, burns, or previous surgery can also be corrected with this type of surgery. In addition, some reconstructive procedures are required to treat existing diseases like skin cancer.
