Facial Cosmetic Surgery in Montreal Has Advanced in a Variety of Surprising Ways
Facial cosmetic surgery in Montreal has experienced interesting advances in recent years that are allowing facelifts to appear more natural then ever. Trends and techniques used in cosmetic surgery are constantly evolving.
One of the most common concerns that facelift patients have is that of ending up with obvious and unnatural-looking results. In the past, this might have been a valid concern, but today’s facelifts are much less aggressive and focus on more natural looking and subtle results as opposed to the plasticky, “done” look.
Instead of attempting to make a patient’s face appear completely different, facelifts today aim to restore a youthful look by subtly addressing the visible signs of aging.
Surgical Techniques
Using filler and Botox is a common practice in facial cosmetics to add volume to an aging face, but it may result in a bloated and unnatural look if overdone. In recent years, the emphasis has shifted to more natural-looking results and surgeons are currently using filler and Botox more conservatively than before.
The surgical techniques used in supporting and elevating the face have also evolved with the recent trends. Facial surgeons would traditionally pull the facial skin tight before trimming away excess skin. The results of this type of procedure were often the unnatural and pulled back look that most patients today want to avoid.
The vast majority of patients considering facial cosmetic surgery in Montreal today are looking to achieve extremely subtle results where it is nearly impossible to pinpoint what’s different about them except that they are looking better. To achieve such a look, surgeons currently use varying incision sizes and lengths, depending on the patient’s facial features, to reposition the facial features to where they were originally at.
Avoiding a Lumpy Look
Advances in facial cosmetic surgery have also extended to the neck and hairline area thus helping make the results appear more cohesive. A lumpy look along the jawline and neck is one of the most telltale features of a poorly executed facelift. To avoid this, a skilled surgeon determines the appropriate amount of liposuction needed in the neck area to ensure that skin looks natural and smooth.
When it comes to the hairline, there’s currently an increased focus on designing incisions that don’t actually disturb the natural hairline. In so doing, surgeons are able to avoid an unnatural looking hairline, which is yet another telltale sign of a bad facelift.
Selecting a Highly Skilled Surgeon
In spite of the advanced techniques currently being used, the only real way to make sure that you get the most natural-looking results is to use a highly skilled surgeon. The surgeon you choose to perform the procedure should ideally have received specialized training and have a great deal of experience in facelift surgery to provide optimal results.
If you are looking for the best facial cosmetic surgery in Montreal, you should only use renowned professionals, ideally those with an MD and FRCSC to ensure that they have received the necessary training. The surgeon should also have years of experience with a focus on the head and neck area that allows him/her to hone his/her ability to produce the most natural-looking results.
