very morning we get up and look in the mirror. We wash our faces, comb our hair, and perhaps, apply make-up and dress. We do this, look at the result and proudly face the world. When we feel good about the way we look, the day begins well. Cosmetic facial surgery has the same goal as these practices. We cannot prevent time’s onslaught on our faces. The ravages of time, gravity, tobacco use, sun exposure and genetics all take their toll and leave their marks. Today we don’t have to endure such untimely insults. Thanks to the art and science of modern facial plastic surgery a more youthful appearance can be achieved and maintained. It is truly wonderful how rejuvenated, self-confident and buoyant patients feel after these procedures. And today there are minimally invasive procedures that can enhance the face.
