In the society that we live in today, a person’s face is an important object. Many people believe that a person’s face determines whether or not that person is friendly, attractive, funny, serious, smart and engaging. While all of these assumptions may hold some truth, cosmetic flaws can often distract people from seeing the true beauty of a person, as well as the beauty that a person is on the inside. Cosmetic flaws come in all forms: wrinkles, scars, lines, sagging skin, blemishes, moles, and birthmarks. These cosmetic “flaws” may give one the appearance of being mad, sad or even depressed. Bone structure is another physical attribute that may help determine how a person’s beauty is perceived. Bone structure determines facial proportions, including the chin and cheek area. Dr. Dean G. Davis is a dual-board facial reconstructive and plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist. Dr. Davis specializes in helping both men and women in Riverview, FL, and the surrounding areas, with enhancing their facial features.
Facial expressions play an important role in human lives. They are used to both communicate and interact with others. Facial expressions also determine how others view us. Because facial expressions are so important, many people try to look the best they can.
The goal of plastic surgery is to improve one’s looks. Many people want to improve specific facial features, including any abnormalities that they might have been born with. Many others want to improve facial features that occur with age and sun exposure, including sun damage. Dr. Davis has experience with helping patients correct such facial features through facial plastic surgery.
Why Consider Facial Plastic Surgery?
There are many facets to getting facial plastic surgery. An otolaryngologist has the ability to diagnose and treat a large range of conditions that involve the facial region, including the neck, lips, ears and nose. Otolaryngology is divided into two different groups: cosmetic and reconstructive. Dr. Davis is trained to perform procedures involving both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
Cosmetic plastic surgery of the facial region is usually performed to improve a person’s appearance through their facial structure. The most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures include chin implants, cheek implants, eyelifts, facelifts, rhinoplasty and procedures that aim to eliminate facial wrinkles.
Reconstructive plastic surgery is focused on patients who would like to remedy a birth-related facial defect. These defects include birthmarks and protruding ears. Reconstructive plastic surgery also involves correcting facial injuries that occurred from burns, trauma, prior surgeries, and accidents. There are also patients who seek reconstructive plastic surgery as a way to treat diseases, such as skin cancer.

Preparing for Facial Plastic Surgery
There are certain steps that patients should consider before receiving plastic surgery. The type of anesthesia used will depend on the type of surgery being performed. Therefore, it is important that patients notify their doctors of any adverse reactions that they have ever had to anesthesia. If general anesthesia is used, patients should be aware that they cannot eat or drink anything on the day of their surgery. Patients receiving general anesthesia should also arrange for someone to transport them to and from Davis Facial Plastic Surgery. Depending on the types of surgery performed, patients should make arrangements to take time off from work so that they can recover properly.
The Recovery Process of Facial Plastic Surgery
Recovery time depends on the severity of the plastic surgery procedures being performed. While some procedures require one to two weeks of healing time, other procedures will require more time before the patient is completely healed.
How Much Does Facial Plastic Surgery Cost?
Because most facial plastic surgeries are considered an elective procedure, most insurance companies do not provide benefits. However, Davis Facial Plastic Surgery does accept financing through CareCredit® as a form of payment. Davis Facial Plastic Surgery also accepts payment by cash and credit card.
Is Facial Plastic Surgery Right for Me?
Facial plastic surgery is a personal decision and may not be right for everyone. If you are concerned about your facial appearance, plastic surgery might be the right procedure for you.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Before any procedure, Dr. Davis has a consultation where he goes over the patient’s medical history and discusses the best procedure for the patient. At this time, Dr. Davis will perform an examination of the patient and discuss possible options based on the patient’s needs and concerns. It is important that the patient discloses any medical problems so that Dr. Davis is fully aware of any complications that could arise as a result of the patient’s medical history.
Facial plastic surgery is an important and personal choice. It is also an investment in one’s appearance. If you believe that facial plastic surgery is the right option for you and you reside in Riverview, FL, or the surrounding areas, please contact Davis Facial Plastic Surgery to schedule a consultation.
