What does your forehead say about your mood and age? Do indentations between the eyebrows make you look angry or upset? Do horizontal lines etched into across the brow make you look years older than you feel? Sinking eyebrows and deep lines on the forehead can change not only how your forehead appears, but the overall look of your eyes and face. If your brow is impacting the expression you want to portray to the world, a brow lift may be a good option to look younger and happier.

Benefits of a Brow Lift

With a brow lift, usually small incisions are made in the hairline to access tissue and skin on the forehead. An elevation of the skin and tissue can smooth away lines and excess skin can be removed, changing the overall appearance. When completed by a talented plastic surgeon, a brow lift can have the following benefits:

  • Horizontal lines smooths
  • “11” between the eyebrows smoothed
  • Lifting and reshaping the arch of the eyebrows for an eye-opening effect
  • Tighter, firmer skin on the brow
  • Reduce frown lines that can make you look angry or tired

When the deep lines disappear, and the eyebrows regain a more youthful position, you can look years younger and the angry or upset expression can fade away. Browlifts are often combined with an upper eyelid lift to reveal more youthful, open eyes.

Don’t let your brow tell the world a different story than you feel. If you want to erase those deep lines and reshape the eyebrows, schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon. A brow lift might be the answer to make you look more like your happier, younger self.

Fight the Signs of Aging with Dermabrasion Procedures

October 9th, 2018 Posted in Skin Rejuvenation
Comments Off on Fight the Signs of Aging with Dermabrasion Procedures

The skin changes as you get older, both in appearance and in biological makeup. Exposure to UV rays can damage the skin, causing the tone, texture and color to change. Plus, the skin loses elasticity as collagen production wanes, creating lines, wrinkles and sagging of the skin. One of the ways to fight the signs of aging skin is with dermabrasion procedures that offer rejuvenation for sun damaged and aged skin.

What Is Dermabrasion?

To help rejuvenate aging skin, dermabrasion removes skin cells from the surface to allow for new skin cell growth for younger, healthier appearing skin. This is a very refined, non-invasive procedure that scrapes the old skin cells away. It can be done surgically or with specialized tools that slough off the skin cells with a rotating mechanism. This procedure must be carefully performed to ensure the skin is not damaged and that only the top skin cells are removed; it is best performed at a medical clinic that specializes in cosmetic procedures, such as plastic surgery clinic.

Once the damaged skin cells are removed, the skin heals and can reveal a smoother, healthier appearance. Some of the issues that are effectively treated by dermabrasion include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Rough textured skin
  • Scarred skin from incisions or acne
  • Uneven skin tone

The dermabrasion procedure can also stimulate collagen production naturally in aging skin. Collagen is used to heal skin, so when skin cells are removed, the skin needs to make more to facilitate healing. This can help improve elasticity and youthfulness in the new skin cells that are formed after the procedure.

If you want younger looking skin, discuss dermabrasion with your local facial plastic surgeon. It is one of many non-invasive cosmetic treatments available through plastic surgeons for improved skin appearance.

6 Uses for Facial Laser Treatments

May 17th, 2018 Posted in Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Comments Off on 6 Uses for Facial Laser Treatments

Medical lasers use light energy to manipulate tissue, whether it is during brain surgery or for cosmetic skin treatments. The advancements in laser technology has improved medical procedures, creating options that were not available before the 1990’s. For facial improvements, laser treatments can offer safe, effective procedures that have little risk or downtime. Here are six popular uses for laser treatments on the face.

  1. Remove birthmarks. Laser treatments are a safe and effective option for fading port wine and strawberry birthmarks on the face.
  2. Hair removal. Laser hair removal can permanently remove the female mustache, chin hairs or facial “fuzz” to eliminate waxing or shaving.
  3. Age spots. Sun damage or age spots can be faded and removed with laser therapy, targeting the darker pigmented skin cells and rejuvenating the skin.
  4. Sagging skin. For sagging or loose skin on the brow, around the eyes or in the neck area, laser skin resurfacing can be used to tighten and improve elasticity for a more youthful appearance.
  5. Fine lines and wrinkles. Laser therapy can help minimize fine lines and wrinkles, stimulating collagen production and smoothing the skin. Laser treatments can also improve the texture of the skin through resurfacing, similar in effect to a chemical peel.
  6. Facial folds. Laser treatments can help reduce folds in the skin from aging, like nasolabial folds and jowl sagging, tightening and smoothing deeper lines and folds.

Laser treatments are quick and usually painless. Some procedures may leave the skin red or flaking, but little downtime is needed after treatments. For effective laser treatments, consult a plastic surgeon that offers skin laser therapy at their practice for the best results.

5 Facial Aging Issues Dermal Fillers Can Treat

May 17th, 2018 Posted in Facial Fillers
Comments Off on 5 Facial Aging Issues Dermal Fillers Can Treat

You do not need to accept that your face will continue to look older with every year. While no one can stop aging altogether, there are options to slow it down and minimize the impact on your face. Dermal fillers are one of the least invasive options that can give you almost immediate improvements for certain issues that appear on your face. Here are five aging issues that can be treated with dermal fillers.

  1. Concave temples. As you age, the temples lose volume, which can enhance wrinkling around the eyes and create an unbalanced shape to your face. Dermal fillers can add volume to the temples for a more youthful appearance.
  2. Eye bags. Do you look tired due to bags under your eyes? Often eye bags are due to lost fat on the upper cheeks – dermal fillers can mimic fat volume and reduce the appearance of eye bags and soften the look of the face.
  3. Facial folds. Frown and smile lines and folds can be smoothed with the use of dermal fillers, most commonly nasolabial and marionette lines.
  4. Thin lips. Lips lose volume as you get older. Get a more youthful pout with the addition of fillers in your lips.
  5. Lip wrinkles. Small lines around the lips are common as you get older. Dermal fillers designed for fine lines can smooth these lines for a smile that looks years younger.

Want to learn more about how dermal fillers can make you look younger and which options are best for you? Consult your local facial plastic surgeon that offers cosmetic injections for more information on dermal filler treatments.
