As the most exposed area of the body, the face manifests the most dramatic effects of aging. Over time, the accumulation of exposure to the sun and environmental pollutants combined with the skin’s natural loss of elasticity causes the skin to lose its youthful smoothness, suppleness, and even tone.
Fortunately, numerous surgical and non-surgical options are now available to reverse the signs of aging and restore a fresh and rejuvenated appearance to the face. In designing a treatment plan to rejuvenate the face, Dr. Patronella considers and treats all of the features that contribute to an aged appearance in order to achieve a fully rejuvenated look that appears natural and balanced.
Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Options
While a face lift is considered to provide the most in-depth restoration to the face, procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and a brow lift can provide significant rejuvenation to specific areas. Just as the name implies, these procedures have a lifting effect on facial features to diminish the sagging and wrinkling that contributes to an aged, fatigued appearance. Dr. Patronella uses a combination of lifting techniques, muscle tightening, and skin excision to smooth out lines and restore a firm, fresh appearance to the eyes, forehead, face, and neck.
Non-Surgical Options
For those who would like a quick and easy way to reduce fine lines and folds, cosmetic injectables such as BOTOX®Cosmetic, Dysport, and hyaluronic-acid based fillers including Juvederm and Restylane will temporarily soften wrinkles and add fullness to areas that have become hollow or thin such as the cheeks and lips. Though these procedures can be performed in a simple lunchtime office visit, they often provide the perfect touch of rejuvenation to boost your appearance and self-confidence.
Surgical vs. Non-Surgical...How Do I Decide?
Cosmetic injectables are a wonderful method of facial rejuvenation, allowing you to experience the benefits of wrinkle diminishment and added facial and lip volume with a relatively minimal investment of time and money. Though they are effective at softening lines that are fine to moderate in depth, they cannot correct the appearance of sagging skin and deeper wrinkles. These characteristics of facial aging require more in-depth surgical treatment to remove loose skin, and tighten the underlying muscular structure to restore a lifted, smooth appearance to the face.
Surgical and Non-Surgical methods of facial rejuvenation are often used together to achieve the most youthful results. Surgical procedures provide correction of sagging skin and tissues for long lasting results, while cosmetic injectables complete the restoration of a more youthful look by restoring volume to the cheeks, the area under the eyes and the lips.
