Facelift – Albuquerque You Owe it to Yourself

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

It’s an unfortunate fact of life to begin not to like what we see when we look in the mirror. Eventually aging affects all of us. No one likes looking tired, wrinkled, or droopy, anywhere in the face or neck area. Facial sagging can make anyone look older than they really are and you may start to consider cosmetic surgery treatment to correct this. Noticeable jowls, creases around the mouth and nose, lines under the lower eyelids, or loose skin under the jaw and chin are all indicators that time is advancing on you.

The things that bother you most about the appearance of your face can be discussed with Dr. Miguel Gallegos at Hermosa Plastic Surgery in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the past several years, facelift procedures have advanced greatly and for the better. This has resulted in more natural looking results for patients. Dr. Gallegos is a board certified plastic surgeon, and has extensive training and experience in considering facial aesthetics when performing a facelift. You will want this quality in your doctor to achieve attractive rejuvenation and youthful beauty to your appearance. Your attitude will certainly get a big boost, also.

As the facial skin ages, it loses it flexibility and thickness. The skin begins to sag and wrinkle. Subcutaneous layers of fat are lost, and the skin dries out. Blemishes from too much sun exposure or poor skin care can occur. Skin cancer or burns can also be a reason to seek a facelift to improve the appearance of the epidermis. Superficial reasons are not the only ones considered in contemplating a facelift. Psychological reasons are valuable also. Looking better helps all of us to feel younger and more motivated, just as looking worse often influences us to feel older and worn out.

To check and see if you are a good candidate for a facelift, talk with your doctor. The procedure requires short incisions behind hidden locations, like the ear or hairline area. Loose skin, tissue, or fat that is causing your face to droop is carefully removed. It is imperative that just the right amount of tissue is discarded for natural looking results. Recovery time can take several weeks, and pain medication can be given to manage discomfort. Other procedures can be performed such as rhinoplasty, to eliminate additional recovery time and give you the overall enhancement you desire. Isn’t it about time that you looked your best, inside and outside?  

Turn back the clock by discreetly tightening your underlying facial muscles and skin. Arrange a free consultation today by contacting my office, Hermosa Plastic Surgery located in Albuquerque.
