Plastic and cosmetic surgery is the topic of this guide. These terms are on everyone's lips today and should therefore be explained professionally, because cosmetic surgery and cosmetic surgery are often used to hide rip-offs and bungling.
Reasons for cosmetic surgery
The desire to have alleged mistakes in one's appearance corrected without the need to correct congenital shape changes or surgical rehabilitation after illness or accident is most often the result of increasing age, although the age of the patient increases Cosmetic surgery has decreased significantly in recent years.
However, it mainly affects the signs of age on the skin. If, therefore, about surgical and cosmetic interventions Eyelids, Bags under the eyes, Wrinkles and wrinkles of the face is to be spoken of, the problem of aging skin is at least marginally to be addressed.
The skin is not only the lifelong strained fate of the body and its most pronounced decorative organ, but also heralds age like the annual rings of a tree. The hands of this living chronometer are large and small wrinkles, Bags under the eyes, Wrinkles, Eyelids, Warts and Age spots. With this watch, however, there is quite a reason. Leonardo da Vinci, the universal genius of the Renaissance, whose unfathomably smiling Mono Lisa is well known, once spoke of the "fisiognomia fallace", the deceptive facial features. Deceptive not least because they are not set according to any conventional standard time, but always show true local time. The true local time, however, is the biological age, which does not always match the calendar age. So it happens that one seems to have aged earlier, but the other only later.
Skin aging, wrinkles & bags under the eyes
This dilemma sometimes gives rise to the desire to adjust the hands, to correct the wrinkles surgically; because not everyone is always able to remain calm when looking at their aging body and the fading body beauty to endure without complaint. With the 3rd to 4th decade of life, the natural skin structure usually becomes coarser on the exposed parts of the body, i.e. on the face and hands. There are also small wrinkles and here and there a particularly deep wrinkle, the development of which is partly due to the changing and often monotonous play of the expressive muscles. These fine changes in the skin, not least due to the effects of the weather, which make the appearance more distinctive and, for example, reveal the sailor's face tanned by wind and weather from afar, can hardly be influenced operationally. Ultimately, they give a face its personal character and its actual shine and reflect the profile of the heart.
In addition, the skin and connective tissue later develop, favored by frequent alternation between fat accumulation and fat loss in the subcutaneous tissue, which, in contrast to the fine lines and wrinkles on the surface, can be surgically corrected for several years. "The first wrinkle on a woman's face is caused by the fear that one might guess her age," the writer John Priestley once said. Since the critical look in the mirror with narrowed eyes plays a decisive role on this occasion, it may be that the "crow's feet" and wrinkles not infrequently set as the earliest sign of age near the eyes.
The eyelids in particular tend to sag. This can go so far that they double like aprons and form real eyelids, which are popularly known as "bags under the eyes", especially on the lower eyelid. If the upper eyelid is also slack, a functional disorder also occurs because the eye can only be opened wide enough with difficulty. The person concerned appears sleepy and tired, seems uninterested and is actually downright visually impaired. In this state, of course, the correction is no longer an intervention with exclusively cosmetic objectives.
Incidentally, as Georg Bartisch so impressively depicted in Dresden's famous "Eye Service" in 1583, we are not dependent on clamping the overhanging eyelids in a screw clamp. We can shorten it surgically, thereby tightening it, and eliminating visual impairment and disfigurement in one. Even the "crow's feet" in the vicinity of the eyelids can sometimes be influenced at the same time. Taking into account the special importance of the eye area for the appearance, one can easily imagine that such a plastic surgery gives the previously disfigured face a completely different expression and makes the eyes shine again. The upper eyelid is shortened by cutting out an elliptical piece of skin, while the incision for the lower eyelid is either crescent-shaped below the row of lashes on the upper edge of the eyelid or on the lower edge of the eyelid, where the Tear sac overhangs in order to be able to remove excess fatty tissue at the same time. In order to achieve the necessary tightening, a triangular skin wrap is often removed from the outer edge of the eyelid.
Possibilities
Correction like most cosmetic surgery done under local anesthesia, it takes some time. About half an hour on the upper eyelid and a good hour on the lower eyelid. The wounds usually heal faster than anywhere else. Everything is done in around a week. The upper eyelid scar disappears in a natural crease. The conditions on the lower eyelid are not so favorable. The scar is less noticeable there, too.
Giving you more headaches pucker and wrinklesthat arise through a certain, often repeated millions of times, emotional facial expressions and can already be pronounced before the skin itself slackens. The best known are the vertical "wrinkles" or "wrinkles" on the forehead, but also the nasal and lip wrinkles that curvily downward from the lower part of the nostrils like a Malabar beard to the corners of the mouth, which saddened an otherwise young face Lending expression is not uncommon. Here, good advice is expensive insofar as folds caused by such muscle functions are either difficult to access for surgical correction or the incision would have to be so unfortunate that the later scars are not inferior to the earlier folds in terms of undesirable conspicuousness.
Help is still possible, namely by injecting these rarely oversized folds with a viscous silicone preparation. Assuming suitable preparations, this can be done quickly. The success is immediately visible and can be controlled. Silicone is a collective term for various long-chain chemical compounds of oxygen and silicon atoms, some of which have strange and unexpected material properties and have only been appropriately exploited in the last fifty years. Properly placed under the skin in a suitable form, it is only slowly absorbed by the tissue, so that the effect of an injection, which can be repeated, lasts for one to two years. Experience to date has shown that this procedure does not have the harmful consequences that were previously feared with paraffin injections for the same reasons.
While vertical Forehead wrinkles are not suitable for surgical correction, longitudinal "thinker's wrinkles" are to be removed by making a cut of the appropriate length parallel to this just behind the hairline. From there, the skin lifts off its base, tightens and cuts out the excess strip. The operation of the double chin caused by fat deposits is carried out accordingly. The incision, from which fat and excess skin are removed at the same time, is made below the chin. You can move it and with it the subsequent scar quite inconspicuously in one of the skin folds that are already present on the neck. The operating field for the thinker's wrinkles is in the hair area anyway. With this, the most important types of operation of the simple fold operations, which of course can be modified depending on the situation, are mentioned.
Sooner or later, on average in the 4th decade of life, the elasticity of the skin begins to deteriorate. The face gets more and more withered, sagging wrinkles, which now show considerable changes in the connective tissue layers of the skin and the subcutaneous fat. If you can no longer endure this condition, it can only be remedied by a lot of facial tension. A "Face lifting", as this operation is generally called. It is made from two symmetrical, not exactly small skin incisions, which, however, run to the left and right in the lateral hair area and where they lead around the ear, the skin can be placed in the ear fold Special scissors as far as the middle of the face, that is, almost to the mouth, separated from the surface, tightened in the direction of pull on the incisions, shortened by cutting out two protruding gussets and sutured again. This procedure takes approximately two hours Hospital is about 10 to 12 days.
The great tension does not always have to be carried out completely. If the sagging of the skin is still slight, limited to the temples or the mouth and neck area, you can initially leave it to tension in the upper or lower half of the face. In other cases, however, success can only be achieved if the great tension on the face is combined with a simultaneous eyelid operation, as described above. However, this is already a rich morning program for the doctor.
So much for that plastic surgery and Cosmetic surgery, as well as wrinkles and folds on the skin. Sometimes they appear sooner than one has mastered the art of being old. Sometimes there is still a place to fill in life in which the environment cannot imagine an aged person.
In one case or another, one may be inclined to temporarily reconcile the biological age of one's skin with one's own wish or the other's ideal and to have the indicators of aging surgically adjusted. This occasionally necessary correction cannot become the rule, because the wrinkled face, as a sign of age, also has part of its dignity and seldom lacks its own kind natural aesthetic beauty.
