    I am a 55 year old woman and am thinking about some procedures which will reduce the signs of ageing… I have heard that some women get face lifts to look younger. What other procedures are available?

    There are many cosmetic surgery procedures that can be performed to reduce the signs of ageing and give men and women a fresher, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance.

    There are non-surgical options for rejuvenation including wrinkle relaxants, skin treatment to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and promote collagen formation and to give skin a more youthful glow such as laser (ablative carbon dioxide or erbium , or nonablative fraxel laser), microdermabrasion, peels and skin products. Soft tissue fillers can be used to restore lost volume in the face, around the brow, the eyes, in the nasolabial folds and to fill out depressions, deep creases and scars.

    There are surgical options such as brow lift, eye lift, upper blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and fat and to open up the eyes, lower blepharoplasty to remove bags and deep tear troughs and grooves and excess bulging fat, face and neck lift to lift sagging facial and neck tissues and restore them to where they were 10 years ago.

    Recent study found that the average face lift and neck lift and eyelid rejuvenation reduced the age appearance of the subjects by 9 years.

    It is best to seek professional opinions about what can be done for you to help you look and feel younger.

    The periocular region (around the eyes) is one which draws a lot of attention, and the ageing face is often attributed to changes occuring in this region. My only suggestion is not to go straight for options which may include fat removal, as this tends to remove ‘bags’ but create a hollowed aged look. I include with my blepharoplasties, fat redraping, which tends to reposition the fat in a preferable position without causing an aging hollowed appearance. Do find out of your surgeon what the intended benefit of surgery is before rushing into something to change your appearance. Best of Luck.
