Here at Kaayakalp, we have a deep appreciation for how our bodies change over time. We have extensive knowledge on how our skin, bones, muscles, and fat undergo a thorough transformation as we age. That being said, we also know how to reverse the effects of ageing, allowing you to feel comfortable in your skin. Not that there's anything wrong with ageing, but if you choose to get procedures done, there's nothing wrong about it. In this blog we'll be discussing facial ageing.
What is facial ageing?
If you're above 40 years of age, you know exactly what this is. You've observed yourself in the mirror, noticing every area where your skin starts sagging and wrinkles start appearing. Then your once sharp jawline becomes not-so-sharp, and your brows and eyelids start drooping. But what's the reason for these changes to come about, and is there a way to change that? Well, you could start practicing facial yoga daily and leading a health life while you're still young, but what about the ones who have surpassed their early years? How do they reverse the effects of these changes?
As much as we wish we could, we sadly can't turn back time. But research has shown that if performed by a trained and qualified surgeon, a good face or neck lift can take your appearance back up to 7 to 8 years. And that's exactly what you'll get with us here at Kaayakalp - trained staff and surgeons that treat your body like their own.
What are the causes of facial ageing?
These changes mainly occur because tissues of the face undergo various processes as we age, and they can also be influenced by environmental factors. These factors included exposure to the sun, the amount you move your face around, face massages, skin care routines, skin type and so on. Facial fat that's ingrained deeper within the face gets thinner as we age, and when gravity pulls the face downwards, the soft tissues on the surface sag.
Our skin loses its elasticity as we age, and this causes wrinkles. Our face also loses its smoothness and becomes dry. Its surface gets thinner, allowing us to see through it more clearly and revealing blood vessels.
What kind of skin care routine should I follow?
You can add sunscreens and moisturizers to your daily skin care. It'd be wise to look for products containing alpha hydroxyl acids like glycolic or lactic acid. Discuss with your surgeon to find out the best combination of treatments you should follow at home to maintain your skin.
How does facial surgery work?
There are various kinds of facial surgery, which you'll find if you enquire with us at Kaayakalp. There are face lift, brow lift, eyelid lift and many more other lifts.
- Eyelid surgery: this deals with reshaping your eyelids. As discussed above, with age, our eyelids tend to droop and we can observe bags forming under your eyes. What it does is it takes away or repositions extra fat or skin that are weighing on the eyes, and it also perks up supporting muscles and tendons.
- Rhinoplasty: the more well-known term for this is a "nose job". As the nose is part of the face, this is also a type of facial surgery. For this treatment, the surgeon changes the shape of the nose by working with its bones and cartilage and allows it to reform differently. This surgery improves appearance and also allows the patient to breathe better.
- Facelift: this helps remove wrinkles and makes the skin on your face firmer, leading to a more youthful appearance. A cut is made on both the front and back of the ears, and it stretches into your hairline. The skin is tightened after being lifted up from the in-bedded facial tissue. The left over skin that sags is then removed and the cuts are stitched up.
- Brow lift: as the name suggests, this works on droopy eyebrows, and it also helps to get rid of forehead wrinkles. This is done in conjunction with other facial surgeries to give your face a more well put-together appearance.
- Chin augmentation: if you want a chin like Superman's this is for you! This surgery makes the chin more pronounced and provides a well-balanced appearance of all the facial features. It can be done with a rhinoplasty, and is performed by either implanting a prosthetic or by manipulating the bones on the chin.
- Cheek augmentation : to those of you who crave a foxy supermodel look with high cheekbones, this one's for you. This surgery augments your cheeks, as suggested by the name. It helps your cheekbones stand out loud and proud, and this could be done with the help of an implant above where your cheekbones sit.
