When visiting a Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon, most patients will ask for popular procedures such as a rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, facelift, or Botox injection. However, there are a multitude of different lesser-known procedures that many people request.

Beverly Hills eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is becoming more common every year. It doesn’t seem like it, but your eyelids are actually a significant indicator of age. Sometimes it is performed because the eyelids become droopy with age. Other times, it is performed for functional reasons such as poor vision caused by excessive skin over the eye or a drooping brow. A blepharoplasty is performed under general anesthesia but may be performed under local anesthesia and sedation. Sometimes this procedure is done in conjunction with a facelift, but it is generally recommended to be performed alone because it can take one to three hours of time. During the procedure, the surgeon will make tiny incisions along the natural lines surrounding the eyes. Then, the surgeon will remove an excess of fat and tissue that contributes to the displeasing appearance or dysfunction of the eyes. Oftentimes, the surgeon will tighten the muscle surrounding the eyes during the procedure. Patients can usually return to work within five to ten days of the procedure.

After getting a brow lift Beverly Hills residents are often very pleased with the results. It is usually performed on women and men between the ages of 40 and 65. The brow lift is very effective at improving the appearance of anger or tiredness that result from folds and wrinkles between the brows, lowered eye brows, and sagging skin on the forehead. During a traditional brow lift procedure, an incision is made from one end of the ear across the top of the head to the other side of the ear. There is also the endoscopic brow lift approach. During this procedure, tiny incisions at the hairline are made to allow the surgery to be performed. Then, the forehead skin and tissue is lifted and the excess skin is trimmed away and sutured back into place. Your plastic surgeon will probably prescribe pain medication following a brow lift, but patients usually do not experience significant discomfort following surgery.

Surprisingly, Beverly Hills ear surgery is a highly requested procedure. It is one procedure that is commonly performed on children as well as adults. Ear surgery has recently become more popular in adults interested in bringing greater balance and harmony to the face. It is a fairly simple procedure and does not produce significant discomfort over the recovery period. There are many reasons that one might consider ear surgery including: bringing ears closer to the head, reducing the size of ears, lop ears, and traumatic injury to the ears. The technique used to perform this procedure depends on what kinds of changes are being made.
