Aging can cause many unwanted changes to our appearance, many affecting the face. For some people, including many in Hawaii, they become too much to ignore. As a result, finding the best facial plastic surgery Honolulu has available becomes a priority. Plastic surgeons provide facelifts, neck lifting, nose surgery, eyelid lifts, and brow lifts, to name a few. Each can play a role in restoring a more youthful appearance. They can also reduce wrinkles, remove sagging skin and excess fat. Sometimes, liposuction and dermal fillers are combined with surgical techniques to produce the desired results.

Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is one of the most common facial plastic surgery procedures. For anyone unhappy with their nose, it is a self-confidence builder. It can address the nose's length and size and recontour its shape. Younger people who have recently reached adulthood are the most frequent candidates for the procedure, but some older people also have it. The best plastic surgeons provide examples of before and after pictures and produce imaging of the planned changes. They can all be discussed in initial and pre-surgery consultations. Sometimes, nonsurgical options are available.

Facelifting is another popular and standard procedure, often performed on people in their 50s and 60s. The key is restoring a naturally youthful appearance, not the old-fashioned "pulled" plastic surgery look. Each year, surgeons make advances in their techniques that allow them to help patients meet their goals. In some cases, procedures are less invasive and require less recovery time. It also means scars are less visible and more minor, often made in the natural folds of the skin or in places such as behind the ears where they become invisible. It means better results for all who have a facelift.

Eyelid lifts and neck lifting are two other often-performed procedures. Many times, they are performed in combination with a facelift to improve overall results. People with "turkey neck" or excess fat deposits in the neck area can benefit significantly from a plastic surgeon's assistance. With the eyes, sagging eyelids or bags under the eyes can be addressed and gently improved. When procedures are grouped together, it can mean one recovery period for a series of improvements. It is easier than having the procedures separately and needing to recover from each individually. Good surgeons help their patients decide.
