Throughout history, the face has been an indicator of one’s attractiveness and personality. However, people are wired to respond to an ideal appearance. Therefore, your cosmetic flaws may result in others forming incorrect opinions about you, thus disregarding the wonderful person you really are inside. Whether a result of age, injury or just the cards you’ve been dealt, flaws such as lines, wrinkles, droopy skin and loss of skin volume may make you appear sad, depressed and angry. Your bone structure can also affect the proportions of your face, and thus the perceptions of others. However, these things are not impossible to fix. Dr. Dean G. Davis is just the person who can do that. With his dual-board certification for facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, he is just the right surgeon for the people of Land O’ Lakes, FL.
Facial expressions are important in communicating with others and our appearance has a strong effect on how others view us. So naturally, people take great strides to look as appealing as possible. People exercise, eat well, dress up, apply makeup, meticulously groom themselves – all of these things help, but some facial flaws cannot be so easily fixed. For example, some individuals may have been born with facial abnormalities, had a facial injury, skin or tissue damage or simply may have aged. Thankfully, facial plastic surgery can correct such issues.
Why Consider Facial Plastic Surgery?
Otolaryngologists are qualified to diagnose and treat a whole scope of conditions affecting the face. Otolaryngology is divided into two groups: cosmetic and reconstructive. Dr. Davis is fully trained and certified to perform both types of surgery.
Cosmetic facial plastic surgery, as the name implies, is primarily performed to alter your features and facial structure to improve your appearance. Rhinoplasty, cheek and chin implants, facelifts, and eye lifts are the most common procedures. Procedures to reduce and eliminate facial wrinkles are also common.
Reconstructive surgery is performed on patients who have birth defects and deformities. Additionally, it is performed to correct damage of those who have experienced facial trauma from accidents, burns, and previous surgeries. Some procedures for diseases, such as skin cancer, are necessary to keep the patient alive and healthy.
Benefits of Facial Plastic Surgery
Whether cosmetic or reconstructive, the chief aim of facial plastic surgery is to give you the results you want. Among the many benefits of these surgeries are:
- Increased confidence
- Stronger feelings of psychological well-being
- Increased feelings of attractiveness
- Enhanced facial symmetry
- Appearing younger and negating effects of age
- Increased happiness and overall quality of life

Preparing for Facial Plastic Surgery
Preparations for surgical procedures vary based on the type of anesthesia that will be used. For example, if you request general anesthesia, you cannot eat or drink the day of your procedure. You will also be responsible for transportation to and from our office. Depending on your recovery time, you will also have to account for potential time off at your job.
The Recovery Process of Facial Plastic Surgery
Recovery periods vary depending on the type of surgery. On average, surgeries will take one to two weeks to fully heal, although certain surgeries may take longer.
How Much Does Facial Plastic Surgery Cost?
Many insurance companies do not offer benefits for facial plastic surgery because it is seen as an elective procedure. We want our procedures to be as affordable and accessible for as many clientele as possible, so, therefore, CareCredit® financing is accepted at Davis Facial Plastic Surgery. Additionally, we accept payment via cash and credit.
Is Facial Plastic Surgery Right for Me?
Plastic surgery is for anyone who is insecure about the cosmetic appearance of their face or has experienced facial trauma. Make sure that you are certain about your decision before undergoing any procedures.
