Augmenting the volume in central and lateral cheek will lift and fill the cheek while simultaneously reducing the prominence of the nasolabial fold. This is an instant and magical correction which produces dramatic and long lasting results. Consulting with a physician experienced in facial fillers and the liquid facelift would be a great way to learn more...
Fat graft or removal?
Fat Grafting versus Fillers
May 27, 2022
For the small contour irregularities in your photographs fillers are by far the best option. Fillers are an easy, non-surgical options that is adjustable and reversible and perfect to address these small contour changes that occur with age. Fat grafting is much less predictable and forgiving and therefore not a practical way to address these changes. Consulting with a physician experienced in facial fillers is the best way to learn more about this option.
What is the best option to treat nasolabial folds before considering a facelift?
Fillers versus Facelift
May 27, 2022
Your photographs demonstrate mild to moderate laxity of the lower face and neck with prominent nasolabial folds. A lower face and neck lift is the best way to correct the sagging and laxity of the lower face and neck and this will also improve the nasolabial fold. That said, a lower face and neck lift will not fully correct the nasolabial fold and many patients will add filler to further improve the nasolabial fold even after surgery. So if it's the nasolabial fold that concerns you perhaps...
How can I improve the texture/laxity of my neck?
Neck Aging
May 27, 2022
Your photographs demonstrate both laxity of the neck and wrinkling of the skin. A surgical neck lift is the best way to rejuvenate this area as it will tighten and reshape the neck while simultaneously reducing the visibility of the wrinkles. Non-surgical treatments including topical skin preparations and radiofrequency with microneedling can improve the texture of the skin but will not improve the laxity as much as a lift so this would result in a more partial improvement. My recommendation...
33 y/o male, Voluma in cheeks looking for more dramatic result, opinions?
Facial Volume
May 27, 2022
The volume of the lower eyelid, tear trough and upper midface all look good in your recent photo (photo #1). The main difference between your recent photo and your desired appearance (photo #2 and #4) is the hollowness in the lower cheek and jaw line. Options to restore volume of the lower face and jaw line would include additional filler (Voluma or Contour) or Sculptra. Sculptra is a biostimulator which requires a series of injections which stimulate your body to produce its own collagen....
Why do doctors perform the facial fat transfer procedure?
Facial Fat Transfer
May 20, 2022
Facial fat transfer has grown in popularity over the years as the technique has become more sophisticated and predictable. That said, it still has its challenges including undercorrection with loss of fat and the potential for contour irregularities, especially under the eyes. Lower eyelids in particular are very technique dependent, but with good technique you can avoid problems and achieve excellent results. We routinely perform full face fat augmentation including the lower eyelids as...
Age 69, which type of revision is needed on my neck?
Secondary Facelift
May 20, 2022
Secondary facelifts are generally very successful as there is less tissue to remove and the scar plane from the first procedure can be used to achieve a greater degree of tightening of the lower face and neck. Secondary lifts can be fairly common in patients with heavy necks. I would recommend you consult with another surgeon highly experienced in secondary lifts of the lower face and neck to learn more about this procedure.
What are my options for fixing my lower eyelids?
Crepey Lower Eyelids
May 20, 2022
Your photograph demonstrates wrinkled and redundant lower eyelid skin. There are some great options for correcting this problem. These include a pinch of skin, TCA peel and CO2 laser peel. These could all be done in an office setting. The pinch of skin will remove excess skin and tighten the envelop of tissue but will not remove all the wrinkles. We often combine the pinch technique with a 35% TCA peel which will remove most of the wrinkles under the eyes. A CO2 laser peel is the most...
Mid facelift through the lower lid vs. temples: which is superior? And why?
Cheek Anatomy
May 20, 2022
The right answer is that both approaches can be used successfully to lift the midface and it really depends on the preference of the individual surgeon. If you have a true negative vector based on deficiency of the cheek bone then a cheek implant, fillers, or fat augmentation may be considered to correct this deficiency. Fillers can be a nice way to assess the effect of volume in the cheek in a temporary and reversible way. Once you determine the volume correction you desire then you can...
What would be the best technique to correct uneven brows and get rid of my glabellar lines?
Botox versus Brow Lift
May 20, 2022
Glabellar lines are caused by activity of the underlying muscles and are best treated with Botox. You can also use Botox to even out your eyebrow, but of course this is temporary. Botox can be used to lower the left brow and to give a slight lift the the right brow improving the symmetry. An endoscopic brow lift can also be effective at improving the brow asymmetry. This could be done either on the right brow only or on both sides with a greater lift to the right side. Consulting with a...
Does 3cc Restylane lip filler matter before lip fat graft?
Lip Augmentation
Apr 8, 2022
Ideally you would want most of the restylane to dissipate before you proceed with fat augmentation. This would allow the fat augmentation to be more accurate. It does not make sense to overcorrect in anticipation of the restylane resolving and you don't want to do the fat augmentation twice if it can be avoided. Fat can be more permanent but does also fade with time, especially in the high movement area of the lips. Waiting 6 months to one year before proceeding with the fat augmentation...
What specialist to see for uneven large eyes, 1 looks larger/bulging?
Eye Asymmetry
Apr 8, 2022
Asymmetry of the eyes and orbits is quite common and can be a normal feature or sometimes caused by medical conditions such as thyroid eye disease, ptosis, lid retraction or other conditions. Consulting with an oculoplastic surgeon (ophthalmologist who specializes in conditions of the eyelids, orbits, and lacrimal systems) is the best way to learn more about these findings and determine whether there is any underlying pathology or just facial asymmetry.
Laser or surgery for crepey neck?
Radiofrequency with Microneedling
Apr 8, 2022
One of the hottest technologies for crepey neck skin is Radiofrequency (RF) combined with microneedling. There are several companies that make these devices but the most popular is the Morpheus 8 by Inmode. This adds the RF heat energy to the microneedling technique and has shown nice results with crepey neck skin. Morpheus 8 treatments are usually done as a series of three treatments separated by one month. There can be some redness and swelling after the treatment but you can function...
Age 30F, healthy - what type of face lift should I be asking for?
Non-Surgical Facelift
Apr 8, 2022
At age 30 you don't need a surgical facelift. Non-surgical, or minimally invasive options may include facial fillers which can lift through filling and work very well in the cheeks, jaw line and temples. Fillers can also be used to strengthen your chin which would be fanbtastic. Another option would be the Instalift which uses absorbable sutures to lift the cheeks and are placed under the skin in a pattern very similar to the diagram in your photograph. The ellipse behind the temporal...
