Facial beauty is all about symmetry, volume, tone, texture, and color. As we age, we lose volume from our faces, especially in the midface area, under the lower eye lids, and in the “marionette” area below the corners of the mouth. Additionally, sun damage causes dyschromia (brown and red spots), and causes changes in tone and texture. As grim as this may sound to those who wish to look (as in the words of Rod Stewart) forever young, there are non-surgical methods of recreating and maintaining volume, tone, texture, and color. These non-surgical techniques include fractional CO2 lasers, fillers, and neuromuscular modulators. A single Fraxel re:pair treatment will improve tone, texture, and color of the skin, as well as restoring some volume to the midface. Fillers such as Juviderm, Restylane, Radiesse, and patients own fat will restore volume. Neuromodulators such as Botox will help eliminate wrinkles caused by excessive muscle movement in the upper third of the face. By using these modalities, facial plastic surgeons now have safe, dependable, and effective non-surgical techniques to restore and maintain youthful faces. These techniques involve the artistic skills of a sculptor combined with the knowledge, discipline, and scientific skills of a cosmetically trained surgeon. Choose your cosmetic physician carefully. Trust your face to a Facial Plastic Surgeon.
