Generally speaking, plastic surgery should turn the clock back on the aging process as it keeps ticking. Rarely too much tissue can be removed that can make people look prematurely older as they age. For example, this was sometimes seen with cosmetic eyelid surgery. Awareness and new techniques have evolved to minimize these type of results.
Facial plastic surgery affects people as they age. The common conveyor belt idea illustrates this idea, as follows: Ifthe surgery takes place at age 50, the individual getting the surgery will lookten years younger. So, although they arechronologically 50, they appear to be 40. But that conveyor belt of time keeps moving forward. If you look at that same individual ten yearslater, he or she will now be chronologically at the age of 60, but will stilllook ten years younger, which at this point would be 50. It is for this reason that many peoplecontinue to have cosmetic surgeries. However, this is certainly not necessary.

Having Plastic Surgery does not affect the aging process. You will continue to age. The clock does not stop. In general, elective procedures will benefit the patient for a lifetime.

In fact, rhinoplasty is often performed under local anesthesia. The local anesthesia not only makes the region numb, but it also helps to control any bleeding during the surgery. I will often add sedation – either oral or intravenous - to the local anesthesia, so that it is a more p...
Alar retraction is one of the most difficult problems to solve .Often extensive grafts and a lengthy procedure are needed but it depends on the degree of severity
You don't have a crooked nose, you have an assymetrical nose; in fact all the left side of the face seems to be smaller than the right side: the orbit, the eyebro, the nose, the nostril and the nasal bone on the left side are smaller, noticeably, and this has no solution, with no technique, and...
