Dr Hunt may be able help address a number of specific concerns related to physical features of the face. With the help of surgical or non-surgical procedures, Dr Hunt can work with patients to address these concerns using the most appropriate techniques and practices in order to achieve the desired result.
How is Face Surgery performed?
Face surgery is performed with the patient under general anaesthesia, so this means that you are not conscious during the intervention.
Different procedures involve different surgical techniques. However, what is important to know is that the intention of the incisions are that they are always well-hidden. When it comes to procedures such as face lifting (rhytidectomy), the incisions are performed around the ears or over the hairline, so there are no visible marks left after the intervention.
Why Patients Might Consider Face Surgery
There are multiple reasons why patients might consider undergoing these procedures such as:
- Addressing skin with a loss of elasticity
- Reducing wrinkles and fine lines at the level of the face
- Improved aspect of the face
- Altering the contour of the face and neck
- Altering the contours of the eye area
- Changing the proportions of the nose and ears
Recovery after Face Surgery
If you consider getting plastic face surgery then you might be wondering about the recovery period too. Recovery after face surgery is an important part of the process, and you should plan it accordingly. During the recovery period, you will be advised to take time off from work and your usual activities to allow your body to heal and rest. At the same time, you will get a list of recommendations that you should follow to the letter.
The recommendations for after-surgery care are different from one procedure to the other. However, there are certain things that stay the same for all procedures. Here are some of them:
- Don’t smoke for at least two to three weeks after the surgery is performed, as this can lead to unwanted complications such as wound dehiscence and even skin necrosis
- Don’t take medication unless it was discussed with Dr Hunt in advance
- Focus on a healthy and balanced diet with plenty of nutrients to help your body heal faster and avoid fast foods
- Avoid strenuous physical activities during the first few days post-op as they might cause the rupture of the incisions or bleeding
- Make sure to keep the incisions site clean and dry at all times
- Sleep with your head slightly elevated as this could help reduce the swelling that naturally occurs after surgery
To have a fast and uneventful recovery, make sure to schedule and attend post-op consultations with Dr Hunt. Dr Hunt will assess the scarring during these consultations and make sure there are no signs of complications.
