in Ribeirão Preto

Are you looking for a specialist and want to learn more about facial plastic surgeries in Ribeirão Preto?

Dr. Ricardo Silveira’s team specializes in this field, and on this page you can learn about six different procedures within this segment.

All of these procedures are considered facial plastic surgeries. Below, you will find a brief overview of each one.

It is always important to emphasize that seeking a specialized surgeon is recommended, as they will perform a thorough and accurate evaluation of each patient to determine whether or not any facial plastic surgery is appropriate.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is eyelid plastic surgery and includes two different procedures that may or may not be performed at the same time, on the upper and/or lower eyelids.

Upper Eyelids

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is indicated for individuals who have drooping eyelids, bags, or excess skin and fat, which often cause patients to feel they look tired or aged.

However, it is important to clarify that this procedure does not provide complete facial rejuvenation. Instead, it opens up the eyes, making the facial appearance look less tired, while also correcting vision issues that may be caused by excess skin around the eyes.

Lower Eyelids

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a type of facial plastic surgery that involves removing excess skin from the eyelids, helping to improve their positioning and reducing wrinkles that contribute to a tired or even aged appearance.

Another procedure included among facial plastic surgeries is otoplasty, which is the surgery of the ears. It is recommended in cases where the ears are very large, prominent, or have been deformed due to accidents.

Otoplasty usually lasts about one hour, as it is a relatively simple procedure. In most cases, local anesthesia with sedation is used. However, if the patient’s condition requires general anesthesia, the surgeon will provide all necessary recommendations and guidance throughout the process.

Mentoplasty is recommended for patients whose bone development is smaller than what is considered ideal for their facial profile. In this procedure, either a chin implant is placed or the bone is repositioned. Regardless of the technique used, the surgery can take up to one hour, depending on each individual case.

This is considered one of the more invasive facial plastic surgeries. Therefore, it is always essential to have a thorough and honest conversation with the surgeon to understand the real necessity of the procedure.

Rhytidoplasty, also known as a facelift, is another type of facial plastic surgery. Its purpose is to correct sagging of the face and neck. It is generally recommended for older patients who naturally experience a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone over time.

A very common concern among patients considering a facelift is whether the procedure will significantly change their appearance. The answer is no. It is also important to note that the natural aging process continues after surgery. What rhytidoplasty does is restructure the face, making it appear more harmonious, refreshed, and less aged.

Another facial procedure is video endoscopy, which can also be used in breast implant surgeries. In facial plastic surgery, this technique involves the use of a video camera to assist the surgeon, allowing for much smaller incisions compared to traditional procedures.

Endoscopic plastic surgery can correct the muscles of the face, forehead, and eyelids and, in some cases, also improve functional issues such as:
