Orlando is a city in the central region of the U.S. state of Florida. It is the county seat of Orange County and the center of the Greater Orlando metropolitan region.
Originally the center of a major citrus-growing region, Orlando is now an urban city with various industries. The area is a major tourist destination and is the home of the Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld. Orlando is also about 21 miles Northeast of Lake Buena Vista, Florida, home of the Walt Disney World Resort. These attractions helped make Orlando the third most visited American city among travelers in the year 2007. Since the establishment of destination tourism in the 1970s, the local economy has diversified, and today the region is the center of operations for companies servicing Central Florida. Orlando is also home to the University of Central Florida, the largest university campus by student enrollment in the state of Florida and among the largest in the United States.

A facelift is a surgical method that removes excess
facial skin to make the face appear younger. However, the aging
face not only loses skin elasticity and develops looser droopy
skin, but also loses fat and muscle tone. Additional procedures
which may be necessary to achieve the best results include: necklift,
blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), liposuction, autologous fat
injection,
removal of buccal (cheek) fat pad, forehead lift, browlift, chemical
or laser peel, and malar (cheek), submalar or chin implants.
How is facelift surgery performed?
The traditional facelift procedure is performed through
an incision starting in the hair or hairline above and in front
of the ear (the temporal region). The incision is extended downward
in front of the ear, comes under the ear and then upward behind
the ear ending in the hair or hairline behind the ear. The skin
and fatty tissues are then lifted off the underlying muscle and
fascia (connective tissue) as far forward as is necessary to correct
the loose skin problem. The underlying muscle and fascia can
be tightened with sutures if the surgeon feels it is necessary.
The skin is pulled back and upward and the excess skin removed.
The wound is then closed with sutures and skin staples. Some
surgeons leave a drain in the wounds to remove excess blood.
Bandages are then applied. There are surgical techniques which
go into deeper tissues rather than under the skin and fat. The
results are similar.
What are complications of facelift surgery?
Although infrequent, the risks and complications
of facelift surgery include:
Bleeding, hematoma, bruising
Infection
Neurological dysfunction (loss of muscle function
or sensation), which is usually temporary
Laser resurfacing is a relatively new treatment for reducing facial wrinkles and skin irregularities, such as blemishes or
acne scars.
The technique directs short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin. Laser skin resurfacing
removes skin very precisely, layer by layer, resulting in fewer problems with hypopigmentation (lightening of skin). This
popular procedure is known by several other names, including lasabrasion, laser peel or laser vaporization.
Who Is a Good Candidate For Laser Resurfacing?
If you have fine lines or wrinkles around or under the eyes, the forehead, the mouth, or scars from acne,
non-responsive skin after a facelift, then you may be an ideal candidate for laser skin resurfacing.
If you have active acne or if you have very dark skin, you are not a candidate. This technique is also not recommended
for stretch marks.

Facial nerve disorders affect the muscles of the face. There are many causes of facial nerve disorders including: trauma, nervous system disease, infection, metabolic disorders, tumors, toxins, or Bell's palsy. Symptoms of facial nerve problems include: facial muscle paralysis, weakness, or twitching of the face; dryness of the eye or mouth, or taste alteration.
The most common cause of a black eye is due to an injury to the face or head. Most black eye injuries are minor and heal on their own, however, some may lead to significant injury. In addition to trauma to the face, cosmetic surgery can cause a black eye(s) as a side effect. People should be aware of the situations in which medical care should be sought immediately for a black eye.
Wrinkles, whether they be fine line or deep furrows, typically appear on areas of the body that receive a high amount of exposure to the sun. Smoking, light skin type, hairstyle, the way you dress, your occupational and recreational habits, and heredity are all factors that promote wrinkling. Medical treatments for wrinkles include antioxidants, moisturizers, alpha-hydroxy acids, and vitamin A acid. Cosmetic procedures that treat wrinkles include dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, glycolic acid peels, laser resurfacing, Botox, and fillers.
Facial implants are used to enhance certain features of your face, including your cheeks or your jaw line. The surgery may be
elective, or needed as the result of prior surgery on the face. Through a facial implant, a plastic surgeon can aesthetically
improve facial contours.
Am I A Candidate For a Face Implant?
You are a candidate for this procedure if you
are in good physical and mental health. You should not expect perfection. Facial implants will not make you look like someone
else. However, they will enhance your current features.
How Do I Know If a Face Implant is Right For Me?
When you sit down with your surgeon for your pre-operative consultation, he or she will ask detailed questions about
your medical history. Among the things the surgeon will need to know is if you have had either cosmetic or reconstructive
facial surgery before.
