Benefits of Choosing a Facial Plastic Surgeon for Your Face Surgery

Plastic surgery can transform your face and body in many ways. As with any other procedure or treatment, you will benefit from seeking out the skills of a specialist in the relevant field. For those considering face surgery, the best doctor to perform these procedures is a facial plastic surgeon. These surgeons have specialized training and experience that give them a better understanding of how to create rejuvenated, natural-looking results.

What is a Facial Plastic Surgeon?

Individuals who want to become facial plastic surgeons begin by obtaining a medical degree (MD) or doctor of osteopathy (DO). They can choose to do what is usually a six-year residency and additional training in plastic surgery or a five-year general residency followed by several years of plastic surgery residency. 
During their residencies and afterward, plastic surgeons can choose a field in which to specialize. Dr. Lanfranchi, for example, chose to specialize in head and neck surgery. While many plastic surgeons perform face and body procedures, you will often achieve better results with a specialist in face surgery.

Benefits of Choosing a Facial Plastic Surgeon for Your Face Surgery

If you have a problem with your heart, your regular doctor will usually refer you to a cardiologist, a specialist in heart conditions. Focusing on one area allows your plastic surgeon to concentrate their training and ongoing education on building their expertise. 

Specialized Training

A facial plastic surgeon has spent years training under other experienced surgeons, learning their techniques. Unlike more general plastic surgeons who may see and perform many different procedures on all parts of the body, a facial plastic surgeon’s training focuses on the face and neck. 

Knowledge of Facial Anatomy

The anatomy of your facial structures is complex, with many small nerves and structures. A facial plastic surgeon has spent a large part of their training and their entire career focusing on these structures. This understanding lets them sculpt better, more natural-looking results. 

Experience With Face Surgery

A facial plastic surgeon’s extensive experience performing face surgeries allows them to develop their techniques and skills over time. Dr. Lanfranchi has developed the TLC Premier Lift™ as a full facial rejuvenation that combines several facial procedures, as well as several other innovative techniques.

Am I a Good Candidate for Face Surgery?

Several factors affect whether facial plastic surgery is recommended for you. First, you must be healthy enough to undergo a surgical procedure without excess risk. You must also have realistic expectations. Candidates for face surgery may have a range of concerns from loose skin and wrinkles to loss of facial volume. You should not have face surgery if you have some medical conditions or are pregnant.
