If you have issues with the appearance of your face, you will be happy to know that there is a plastic surgery solution (or non-surgical aesthetics solution) that is right for you. That is one of the great things about plastic surgery--it is versatile and able to address multiple problems that a person may face. Our Little Rock plastic surgeon and the team here at the office would like to take the time right now to go over some common facial flaws and what plastic surgery options are available to deal with these options.

Uneven or Misshapen Nose

Sometimes people have a nose that they wish they could alter in some way. Bumps or ridges on the nose may not be so appealing, and if a nose was broken, it can appear misshaped. To deal with these and other issues involving the nose, there is rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job.

Facial Wrinkles and Sagging Skin

Given the expressions of the face and the nature of getting older, it’s inevitable that you will deal with wrinkling and sagging skin at some point. A Little Rock facelift will be able to deal with these matters quite effectively by removing excess skin and tightening the remaining facial skin. A facelift can be targeted for different parts of the face, including the brow area, the neck and jowls, and the cheek and eyes.

Drooping Upper Eyelids

A sagging upper eyelid can leave you looking exhausted and older than you really are (or feel). In addition, if the drooping is especially pronounced, it can block out part of your vision. In order to deal with this, a plastic surgeon can perform blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery).

Bags and Hollows Under the Eyes

Bags under the eyes or hollows under the eyes can leave you looking like you haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep in some time. While surgery will not be a good idea in this instance, the sue of injectable dermal fillers is ideal.
