Facial Procedures - Dr. Karthik Ram - Chennai Plastic Surgery

Dr. Kartik Ram explains various facial procedures and points out that significant facial sagging is rare in Indian skin. In facial aging, multiple changes occur over time. The first sign is often sagging around the lower cheeks and chin, with fat beneath the eyes starting to descend, causing weakness in those areas. He details the points on the face where fat is lost and absorbed, leading to drooping eyelids, sagging eyebrows, and prominent lines around the mouth and chin. This can result in a double chin and other noticeable changes as we age.
Dr. Kartik notes that 99% of Indian patients don't require these procedures. He describes how they conduct facial procedures, starting with a thorough assessment. They then plan sessions for lifting the skin and examining the internal structures of the face. He emphasizes their expertise in facial surgeries, mentioning that many of their patients are foreigners. These patients, often aged 35-36, come because it's more affordable to get these procedures done in India than in their home countries.
A specialized technique they use is the deep plane facelift, which involves lifting the skin along with the underlying tissues. This approach provides consistently good and long-lasting results, unlike superficial skin lifts that don't last as long. Dr. Kartik mentions that excessive exercise and fat loss can accelerate facial aging, causing wrinkles.
Botox is another treatment they offer. It relaxes muscles to correct forehead lines and can also be used to reduce the masseter muscles for jaw definition, known as the "Nefertiti lift," inspired by the Egyptian queen. This procedure has become popular due to the rise of selfies and the desire for a more defined jawline.
He advises actors to focus on their positive features and not get overly concerned with minor imperfections. Often, rejection in auditions isn't due to physical flaws but other reasons. For issues like dark circles and volume loss, fillers are used. Fillers can restore volume, correct asymmetry, and provide a more youthful appearance. Dr. Kartik emphasizes not becoming obsessed with beauty enhancements. He suggests moderate use of such treatments to boost confidence while maintaining one's natural identity.
In conclusion, Dr. Kartik advises patients to accept themselves and use cosmetic procedures moderately to enhance, not drastically alter, their appearance.
