Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation- my approach
Aging is inevitable, yet most of us wish we could slow down or reverse the physical changes
that occur as a result of this process. The number one reason my patients seek facial rejuvenation procedures
is that they simply feel younger than they look. Eventually, this begins to affect the way the feel. Their
hope is to restore their youthful appearance in a natural and safe way. When this occurs they approach life
with a renewed energy and positive outlook.
Whether the goal is to turn back the clock or to slow down the aging process, Carmel Valley
Facial Plastic Surgery, is dedicated to offering state-of-the-art approaches that are specifically designed
to address your unique concerns.
The first step of our Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation Consultation is to get a clear
understanding of what bothers you the most. Next, the skin , the facial volume
(amount of fat under the skin), and the facial contour are carefully evaluated
for age related changes.
The skin becomes thinner, wrinkled, and discolored as a result of the
passage of time, genetics, stress, diet, and exposure to the sun.
Patient 1
This is a patient who underwent fat transfer around the eyes (periorbital), mini facelfit
(Microlift), necklift, chin implant, rhinoplasty, and a 25% TCA chemical peel. This is a major change,
yet despite so many different procedures, she still looks very natural.
Facial volume:
generally refers to the fat under the skin , begins to decrease in the
face, especially around the eyes and cheeks. This leaves the eyes and mid face looking tired, drawn and
hollowed. This is one of the most important and overlooked changes that occurs. The process starts in the
late thirties and continues with each decade.
Facial contour:
refers to the overall shape of the face. The youthful facial contour has full round cheeks
and a defined, smooth jawline and neck. With age, the cheeks begin to hollow and appear deflated, jowls
form along the jawline, and the neck begins to sag.
To effectively treat each of these components, a variety of commonly used approaches are
used in our practice. Many of times this will include both non-surgical and surgical procedures combined
to provide you with optimal and consistent results. The choice of the procedures is as important as the
techniques used to perform them.
