Facial Surgery
The magnificence of the face's form is rivaled only by its amazing functional abilities. By virtue of the complex array of anatomic features that make up the human face, it can transmit an unbelievable wealth and variety of expression, telling the most complex story whether on the streets of New York City or elsewhere in a matter of seconds.
The face is responsible for communication and for recognition. It is what defines us as unique and allows us to recall an individual in our memory. It can attract the interest of others. What draws us to an individual’s face, however, varies individually, culturally, ethnically and geographically, as do most aspects of the human form. A naturally youthful and healthy facial appearance, however, is almost universally perceived as beautiful.
Dr. Belsley recognizes the care that must be taken when discussing options intended to improve the appearance of this amazing instrument. The results of these efforts must enhance natural beauty, promoting symmetry and proportion. They should complement that which is unique and beautiful in each one of us.
Rhinoplasty:
Nasal proportions and shape can more extensively affect others’ perception of an individual’s face and even character than any other individual part of the human form. A Nose Job is an important cosmetic surgery decision. The shape of the nose can affect the appearance of other facial cosmetic procedures performed in the past or the future. Because nasal shape has such a powerful influence on the appearance of the face, cosmetic surgery adjustments must be carefully considered. Nasal aesthetics must be viewed with the appropriate degree of attention to the individual’s own personal preferences, which can vary culturally and not just in New York City. Dr. Belsley understands and respects this process. She feels that the most rewarding results occur when her clients openly discuss their preferences with her. Using this information, she can propose a plan that will incorporate the client’s wishes as much as possible, while maintaining nasal functionality and a natural, proportional appearance. She feels that each rhinoplasty result is as unique as the process required to achieve it.
Facelift:
It is one of the great idiosyncrasies of life that the moment in which we exhibit our optimal physical appearance is often not concomitant with that in which we demonstrate our greatest emotion and intellectual maturation. Facial rejuvenation is a means by which we can refresh our physical appearance, mirroring our inner achievements. Dr. Belsley feels that facial rejuvenation should not change an individual’s appearance, but rather harmonize the way one feels with the way one looks.
Facial Liposuction:
In appropriate individuals, fat in the face and neck can be modified such that the facial contours are more streamlined. This change, although subtle, can result in rejuvenation that makes one appear healthier and vital.
Conclusion:
Our face and its features are what make us individual and human. Time modifies our appearance. With appropriate care and intervention, the changes that occur over time will enhance our inner beauty and not detract from it. Dr. Belsley is committed to a detailed discussion about the specific issues that affect each individual and the methods available to address those issues thoroughly and discreetly.
