Turn Back Time With a Facelift

As an expert in plastic surgery, I understand the desire to reverse the visible signs of aging on your face. One effective, non-surgical option to consider is a “soft lift”treatment. This approach is increasingly popular due to its non-invasive nature and minimal recovery time. In a soft lift, the focus is on treating the face holistically, rather than targeting isolated problem areas.

The goal is to restore lost volume and enhance facial contours, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This is achieved through a strategic combination of dermal fillers and Botox, each playing a vital role in harmonizing facial balance and countering aging signs.

Botox is particularly effective in addressing fine lines that develop from repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting.

Common areas for Botox treatment include around the eyes, the forehead and between the eyebrows. By injecting Botox into specific muscles, nerve signals are blocked.  This prevents  muscle contraction and subsequently softens existing wrinkles.

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to replenish lost facial volume, smoothing out shadows and hollows. This contributes to a smoother skin surface, enhancing light reflection and rejuvenating your overall appearance. Fillers can be applied to various facial areas, including cheeks, marionette lines, chin, jawline, and the tear troughs.

Opting for a soft lift offers a rejuvenated look similar to what one might seek from surgery but without the associated recovery time. It's important to note, though, that some temporary side effects like bruising or slight redness at the injection sites may occur, varying based on individual skin types.
