There are plenty of reasons why someone might opt for a side-view facial procedure. Not everyone is blessed with a chiseled side profile like Freida Pinto’s and might need to make changes to their faces.
People are more concerned about making positive improvements in the specific areas of their body, even though they might not be defective at first glance.
There has been an increase in the number of patients opting for the correction of a double chin specifically the sagging area underneath the chin and around the neck area. Procedures like Microlipo helps patients to correct the chin area and make it more impressive, while at the same time, giving it a more natural look when viewed from the side. In chin augmentation, the implant increases the chin projection by supporting the soft tissue overlying the jaw bone. The implant is placed on the jaw bone so that the soft tissues rest upon the implant, not the bone.
At times, the eyelids and the upper lids can be saggy and excessive skin can block vision. Upper or lower eyelid rejuvenation, or even a brow lift, can provide a more youthful appearance and helps patients see better. Eyelid rejuvenation, called Blepharoplasty, mainly removes the tissue, excess skin and fat. An incision is made in the upper eyelid crease to remove excess skin. Skin is taken out from lower lids to reduce puffy bags. It’s also been a trend to just remove the tissue, but preserve the fat.
