'''Plastic surgery''' is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. A wide variety of facial '''plastic surgery''' procedures exist. They can vary greatly in their cost, efficacy, intrusiveness, and results. A skilled surgeon will generally produce more favorable results than an unskilled one. Some famous surgeons, such as Dr. Eppley and Dr. Yaremchuk, and know for producing high-quality aesthetic results. [[Facial]] plastic surgeries fall into a few basic categories: Maxillofacial surgery, Implants, Soft Tissue surgery, and others.

These surgeries tend to be the most complex and invasive type of facial cosmetic surgery. In many cases, they improve both function and appearance. They are performed by osteotomy, or bone cutting. Some portion of the facial bone structure is cut off, moved into a new position, and reattached using metal screws. | These surgeries tend to be the most complex and invasive type of [[facial]] cosmetic surgery.

The LeFort 1 procedure is relatively simple and frequently performed. It is most frequently performed on people who have had braces to correct a [[malocclusion]] (faulty bite). The LeFort 1 involves cutting the bone underneath the nose to separate the lower [[maxilla]] from the rest of the face. The [[maxilla]] can then be moved into a more ideal position and screwed into place. There is a great deal of flexibility in possible movement of the maxilla. It can be moved forward (to correct [[maxillary retrusion]]), backward (to correct [[bimaxillary prognathism]]), and, if a slice of bone is removed, even upward (to reduce the distance between the nose and mouth). | The LeFort 1 procedure is relatively simple and frequently performed.

'''Chin Implantation''' | '''[[Chin]] Implantation''': a weak or recessed [[chin]] is a common aesthetic defect. It creates a weak, submissive, feminine appearance from the profile view. Most of time a recessed chin is not caused by a lack of the chin bone projection, but an overall downward growth of the face, thus the most effective way of fixing a recessed chin is a double jaw surgery with counter clockwise rotation. | ||
A simpler way to stretch the chin forward is addressing to a genioplasty or by placing an implant into the chin. In severe cases of [[chin]] recession, both surgeries may be needed to create a normal-looking result. | A simpler way to stretch the chin forward is addressing to a genioplasty or by placing an implant into the chin. In severe cases of [[chin]] recession, both surgeries may be needed to create a normal-looking result. | ||
'''Chin Schield''' | '''Chin Schield''': a middle way between a genioplasty and a chin wing surgery. The Chin Schield involves an advancement of the chin and a part of the jawline. This surgery can be performed at the same time with a Bimax. | ||
'''Jawline Implantation''' | '''Jawline Implantation''': a jawline implant can increase the width of the jaw and/or increase the angularity of the gonial region and length of the ramus. | ||
'''Orbital Rim Implantation''' | '''Orbital Rim Implantation''': a common (and usually unnoticed) aesthetic deformity is called a negative orbital vector. This deformity is caused by a weakly developed lower orbital rim (bottom of the eye socket, directly above the cheekbones). It causes the [[eyes]] to look tired and overly protrusive or bulging. Sometimes, it leads to scleral show. This means that the whites of the [[eyes]] are visible underneath the iris, since the lower orbital rim is too weakly developed to hold the lower eyelid in its ideal position. An implant can be placed directly under the eye, through an incision made into the lower eyelid, to correct this problem. | ||
'''Cheekbone Implantation''' | '''Cheekbone Implantation''': this involves using an implant to augment the malars, or the front of the cheekbones. It is not common to augment the zygomatic arches, or sides of the cheeks, through implants. Unfortunately, this procedure does not always produce quality results. They are often too subtle to make much of a visual impact, or they may create an unnatural shape to the cheeks. | ||
'''Brow Implantation''' | '''Brow Implantation''': an implant can be placed underneath the eyebrows to enhance the brow ridge protrusion, which will improve facial masculinity. | ||
'''Paranasal Implantation''' | '''Paranasal Implantation''': paranasal hollowing is a common facial defect. It is often related to [[maxillary retrusion]]. With paranasal hollowing, the bones around the base of the nose are weakly developed, leading to the appearance of a sunken midface. This can be addressed with implants placed around the base of the nose. | ||
==Hair transplantation== | |||
==Hair | People suffering from [[balding]] can have a hair transplant done. This involves moving androgen-resistant hairs from the back of the head into areas affected by baldness, namely the hairline and the crown of the head. Because there is no way to create new hairs, the end result will still have fewer hairs than there originally were. This means that even after a hair transplant, the hairline will be higher and weaker than it was prior to the onset of Norwooding. Despite this, it can still produce a fair improvement in looks. | ||

'''Strip Harvesting''' | '''Strip Harvesting''': in this procedure, a strip of skin is removed from the back of the head, and then the resulting wound is sewn back up, creating a single line scar that is easily covered by hair. The strip is put under a microscope and the follicles are removed from the skin and loaded into a syringe-like tool, which "injects" the follicles into the desired areas of the scalp. Hairs themselves are not transplanted, only the follicles. It takes around 3 months for the follicles to settle into their new environment and begin producing hairs. | ||
'''Follicular Unit Excision''' | '''Follicular Unit Excision''': also called FUE for short, this procedure involves using a punch to remove individual follicles from the back of the head and then inserting them into the desired area. This results in the hair becoming thinner in the back of the head, and many small dot scars appear. In the early days of hair transplantation, this was done using large plugs which each held many follicles, resulting in an unnatural appearance of "clusters" of hairs in the hairline. Today, a smaller punch is used to work with individual follicles and create a more natural-looking result. | ||
Some people will have a strip harvesting procedure performed first. Later, when more hair falls out, they will find new bald spots, which they can have filled in using an additional FUE procedure. | Some people will have a strip harvesting procedure performed first.
