Dr. Dawood Almahr, a world-renowned cosmetic surgeon and social media influencer, explains: The most obvious and fastest place for signs of aging to appear is the face, especially sagging and loose skin. The face is the first focus of attention and the point of focus for people when interacting with each other. Therefore, in recent years, facial sculpting operations have spread, which aim in general to employ various surgical and non-surgical methods to restore the youthful shape of the face.
How to beautify the face
It is now possible to deal with cosmetic problems that change the appearance of the face in more than one way, as the most appropriate treatment plan is chosen based on the clinical condition of the patient, taking into account the desired result.
Three basic methods for beautifying the face stand out in this field:
Surgical techniques.
Injections.
Facial sculpting with laser.
1- Surgical techniques
These methods depend on surgical intervention on the structure and composition of the face, in order to modify the bone structure, which in turn changes the overall appearance of the face.
The following can be achieved by relying on surgical methods:
Facelift by removing excess skin.
Rhinoplasty.
Beauty of the bony area of the cheeks.
Beauty of the chin to achieve a natural appearance.
Liposuction of fat from the body and re-injecting it into the face to give a fuller appearance.
2- Injections
It is also possible to use different injections to achieve the desired cosmetic result, such as:
Use of Botox to paralyze some small facial muscles to restore the youthful appearance of the facial skin.
Use of various fillers to completely re-sculpt the face.
3- Laser facial sculpting
The great development witnessed by the medical sector has allowed the use of laser devices for cosmetic purposes, as it is possible to re-sculpt the face using certain methods, which we will discuss in the following paragraphs.
Laser face sculpting
Advanced laser devices can be used to eliminate defects that may be present in the skin of the face and neck, as irregular areas can be eliminated and a youthful and youthful appearance can be restored.
The laser also generates temperatures that can be transferred to the fatty tissues under the skin, which helps in breaking them down. It can be said that using lasers to sculpt the face is one of the most successful cosmetic methods, as it gives very satisfactory results.
In addition to melting fat, raising the temperature of the lower layers of the skin helps stimulate the production of collagen, which helps give the skin a cohesive texture, which eliminates the problem of sagging.
Who can undergo this procedure?
The laser face sculpting procedure is used to restructure the structure of the face without the need for surgical methods. It can also remove problems caused by the sun, acne problems, and problems associated with aging.
In any case, the following conditions can be treated by using lasers:
Signs of aging.
Scars.
Sagging skin.
Acne scars.
Wrinkles.
Lines around the eyes.
Uneven skin tone.
Enlarged sebaceous glands.
Pre-operative advice
Adhere to the doctor's instructions, which may include refraining from taking certain types of medications such as blood thinners and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Inform the doctor of all skin medications the patient is taking, especially isotretinoin compounds, which increases the likelihood of leaving scars after the operation.
Avoid smoking for at least two weeks before starting treatment, as smoking increases the likelihood of side effects and delays the healing process.
Laser facial sculpting stages
First: Preparing for the operation
The doctor meets with the patient to conduct the necessary clinical examination to set the initial points for the proposed treatment plan, and discuss the possible results.
It is necessary to prepare the skin to be able to receive such a type of treatment, and this is done through a series of treatments over a period of weeks before starting treatment.
In this way, the skin becomes able to tolerate the proposed treatment, which in turn will reduce the likelihood of side effects following the use of the laser.
Second: Anesthesia
The doctor applies a surface anesthetic to the areas that will be treated with the laser, which ensures the comfort of the patient and reduces pain during the session.
The doctor may prescribe painkillers if the area to be treated is large.
Third: Opening the incisions and starting the procedure
The doctor cleans and disinfects the skin to remove impurities, bacteria, and excess oils.
The doctor then starts using the laser, moving it slowly around the areas targeted for treatment.
The doctor then places the necessary bandages to protect the treated area during the recovery period.
Post-operative advice
It is necessary to modify the facial care routine, as the treated area should be cleaned two to five times a day.
Avoid cleaning products, and rely on liquids containing salt or vinegar.
Use a moisturizer daily to help in the healing process.
Consult a doctor before applying any product to the face.
Make sure to use sunscreen (SPF 30 at least) to protect the skin from the effects of ultraviolet rays.
Apply sunscreen every morning, even if the weather is cloudy.
What is the cost of laser facial rejuvenation?
It is difficult to give an exact price for this procedure, as this depends on the clinical examination and the proposed treatment plan; in any case, the cost of the procedure may range from $ 2,000 to $ 4,500.

The difference between face sculpting and surgical facelift
In order to understand the difference between face sculpting and facelift, we must know the mechanism through which the satisfactory cosmetic result is achieved in the two methods:
The goal of face sculpting is to change the appearance of the outer skin, and then rebuild the layers under the skin, either by injecting fillers, or using lasers to stimulate collagen production.
While surgical facelift aims to solve the problem of sagging skin by making surgical incisions to tighten the facial skin, and then cutting and removing excess skin.
Thus, we note that both procedures aim to restore the youthful appearance of the face by restructuring it, but the two methods are completely different, which means that the recovery period and possible side effects will also be completely different.
