Facial plastic surgery can be important because our facial expressions allow us to interact and communicate with each other. Our appearance has an impact on how others perceive us. While some would like to improve certain parts of their face, others are born with facial abnormalities such as a cleft lip, a birthmark, or other birth defects. Fortunately, many conditions such as the effects of aging, sun damage, or previous facial trauma can be corrected through procedures performed by a skilled surgeon.
