The face plays a big role in making someone seem attractive, engaging and friendly. Unfortunately, some flaws that are cosmetic in nature may not allow others around you to see who you truly are inside. Drooping skin, lines, wrinkles and the loss of skin volume can give the face an appearance of being depressed, angry or sad. Certain bone structures, such as the ones on the chin, cheeks and nose can cause facial proportions to become unbalanced. Dr. Dean G. Davis, who is a dual-board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and otolaryngologist, specializes in plastic surgery for the face for both males and females in Brandon, Florida.
Facial expressions are used each time we communicate, as well as interact with each other. The way our face looks can affect how others will perceive us, so many will try to look their absolute best.
Some have specific features of their face that they want to improve, such as an abnormality in the face that may have been with them since birth, sun damage, facial trauma or the effects of aging. Many of these conditions can be corrected with the use of facial plastic surgery.
Why Consider Facial Plastic Surgery?
Otolaryngologists are doctors that can treat many conditions that include the lips, neck, ears, nose, as well as the entire face. Otolaryngology is divided into two groups, reconstructive and cosmetic. Dr. Davis has been trained and can perform both types of surgeries and can address any concerns.
The biggest reason facial cosmetic surgery is performed is to improve the structure, as well as the features of the face. The most requested procedures are rhinoplasty, chin and cheek implants, and eye and facelifts. Wrinkle reduction is another fairly common procedure.
Those with birth-related defects or conditions, such as birthmarks or protruding ears, are the ones who mostly get reconstructive plastic surgery. There may also be facial injuries that were the result of trauma from an accident, previous surgeries, burns, or other occurrences, and all these can be corrected with reconstructive procedures. In some cases, a procedure is needed to treat a particular disease, including skin cancer.
Benefits of Facial Plastic Surgery
The number one reason why a patient wants cosmetic or reconstructive surgery is to get the results that they are looking for. Once the surgery is performed, the possible benefits of the procedures will include:
- Enhanced facial symmetry
- Better overall psychological well-being
- Improvement of confidence
- An overall sense of self-happiness
- A more youthful appearance

Preparing For Facial Plastic Surgery
Certain preparations for plastic surgery must be made, depending on the anesthesia that is going to be used. Those who choose general anesthesia cannot drink or eat on the day of the surgery. You’ll need to make preparations for your transportation to and from the Davis Facial Plastic Surgery office. It may also be necessary to take time off work, depending on how long your recovery time is going to be.
The Recovery Process of Facial Plastic Surgery
Each facial plastic surgery will have a different recovery period. Many procedures will require at least seven to 14 days of recovery, but it’s possible that some surgeries will require a longer period of healing time.
How Much Does Facial Plastic Surgery Cost?
Since many insurance companies consider facial plastic surgery as something that is elective, many of their policies won’t cover the cost of the procedures. Financing is available via CareCredit®, which is accepted at Davis Facial Plastic Surgery as a form of payment. Cash and credit card are also accepted.
