Facelift

In time, gravity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life take their toll on our faces: deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jaw line slackens, and folds and fat deposits appear on the neck. Facelifts counteract these problems by removing fat and tightening skin and muscles, giving your face a fresher, youthful look. After surgery, some patients appear 10-15 years younger.

A facelift can be limited to the neck if the patient's problems center there. Incisions are made in inconspicuous places such as behind the hairline and in natural folds of the face and ears, and scars fade to near invisibility in time. Results of a facelift do not last forever, but in another sense, the effects are permanent; years later, your face will continue to look better than if you had never had the procedure.

Restylane®

Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Another common treatment area is the lip, and restylane adds fullness and shape to the upper and lower lips.

Restylane treatments generally last about six months, at which time the treatments may be repeated.

BOTOX®

BOTOX® is another safe and effective treatment for facial wrinkles. BOTOX addresses those wrinkles that are caused by contracting muscles, such as forehead muscles, muscles around the eyes, and muscles between the brows. By relaxing these muscles BOTOX will prevent the wrinkles caused by frowning, squinting, and other facial animations. Typically the BOTOX treatments will need to be repeated in about four to six months to maintain the desired effect.
