Facelift Surgery by Plastic Surgeons in Delaware
A facelift usually takes several hours-or somewhat longer if you\'re having more
than one procedure done. For extensive procedures, some plastic surgeons may schedule
two separate sessions. Every plastic surgeon approaches the procedure in his or her own
way. Some complete one side of the face at a time, and others move back and forth
between the sides. The exact placement of incisions and the sequence of events
depends on your facial structure and your surgeon\'s technique. Incisions usually
begin above the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line in front of
the ear (or just inside the cartilage at the front of the ear), and continue behind
the earlobe to the lower scalp. If the neck needs work, a small incision may also
be made under the chin. Learn more about facelift
surgery.
Nose Surgery - Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty usually takes an hour or two, though complicated procedures may
take longer. During surgery the skin of the nose is separated from its supporting
framework of bone and cartilage, which is then sculpted to the desired shape.
The nature of the sculpting will depend on your problem and your surgeon\'s preferred
technique. Finally, the skin is redraped over the new framework.
Many plastic surgeons perform rhinoplasty from within the nose, making their
incision inside the nostrils. Others prefer an "open" procedure, especially
in more complicated cases; they make a small incision across the columella,
the vertical strip of tissue separating the nostrils. Learn more about rhinoplasty.
