Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between a facelift and a neck lift?
A facelift targets sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of definition in the mid and lower face, while a neck lift focuses on tightening loose skin and muscles under the chin and along the jawline. Many patients combine both procedures for a smoother and more youthful overall appearance.

2. What makes revision rhinoplasty more complex than primary rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty is more complex because it involves correcting the structure and function of a nose that has already undergone surgery. Scar tissue, altered anatomy, and limited cartilage availability make the procedure more delicate and require advanced surgical expertise to achieve natural and functional results.

3. What is dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, and why is it preferred by many surgeons?
Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty is a modern technique that reshapes the nose while preserving the natural bridge instead of removing it. This method maintains a smoother nasal contour, reduces postoperative swelling, and provides more natural results compared to traditional rhinoplasty.

4.What are the benefits of endoscopic brow lift compared to traditional brow lift?
An endoscopic brow lift uses small incisions hidden within the hairline and a tiny camera to lift and reposition the brow. It offers shorter recovery, minimal scarring, and a more natural elevation of the eyebrows compared to traditional open brow lift surgery.

5. How does fat grafting help with facial rejuvenation?
Fat grafting restores lost volume by transferring purified fat from other areas of the body to the face. It helps smooth wrinkles, define contours, and improve skin texture naturally; offering long-lasting and biocompatible results without the use of synthetic fillers.
