2020 The Year to Zoom in on Your Face
Americans are coming face to face with their own face on Zoom. On remote weekly business meetings, church services, family get-togethers, girlfriend Friday night social hours … Zoom has made us all take a closer look at our face from unfavorable angles with unforgiving lighting – no matter how you shift the computer.
Factors such as sun exposure, smoking, stress, gravity and other issues such as thinning and sagging of the skin can contribute to an aging face. While spending hours staring at others virtually, we’re also staring at ourselves, and face it, it’s hard not to critique every imperfection.
Any of these thoughts sound familiar?
Where did those wrinkles come from?
I don’t have a double chin … do I?
Is that what they call a turkey wattle?
My eyes look so tired.
I just look …. old and I’m not.
Seeing your face in full zoom
But here’s the good news! Now may actually be the very best opportunity to pursue a cosmetic procedure like a facelift or necklift or eyebrow/lid lift that can be a life-changing procedure for you! The new COVID-19 guidelines that put aspects of normal American life on hold can create more personal time for you, providing an ideal time for facial, neck and eye surgical procedures that can rejuvenate your face and offering you the recovery time at home you might not otherwise have.
- Facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) tightens the fascia surrounding the muscles that does the heavy repositioning and lifting of the tissues of the face, sculpts fat and removes excess skin to give the face and neck a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance; it addresses significant sagging and smooths deep wrinkles and folds.
- Necklift surgery (lower rhytidectomy) improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck to correct excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a double chin or “turkey wattle” and jowl lines.
- Eyelid lift (Lower or upper known as a blepharoplasty) can transform sagging skin, tired-looking and puffy eyes into a more rejuvenated expression, a more alert and younger appearance; with the removal of excess skin, it can also improve vision by removing obstructions.
- Eyebrow lift precisely lifts the brow with five small incisions hidden in the hairline to create a natural, more youthful appearance by smoothing the forehead and brow area.
