Refresh your appearance with minimal downtime
Botox® and other injectable treatments known as “fillers” work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fill in spaces where the face has lost volume. These treatments are popular because they’re a safe, effective, relatively inexpensive and minimally invasive way to combat signs of aging. This means a quicker visit to your dermatologist or surgeon and less downtime after the procedure compared to an option like a facelift. However, it’s important to note that the results are temporary, requiring routine upkeep to maintain the smoothing, rejuvenating effects.
Key Benefits of Botox & Fillers
- Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles
Relax fine lines and wrinkles non-surgically with neuromodulators. - Replace Lost Volume
Enhance and restore lost volume to cheeks and temples and improve jawline with fillers. - Enhance Facial Features
Plump your lips, enhance your chin, or define your nose with strategic filler placement.
Historically, it was believed that hyaluronic acid fillers—known as HA fillers—lasted for a short period, typically less than one year. However, recent studies and clinical experiences have demonstrated that these fillers can persist for many years. This means that repeat injections may not be necessary and could potentially lead to undesirable aesthetic outcomes, like an “overfilled” appearance. Be careful only to repeat them when they’re really needed.
Permanently enhance the shape and volume of your lips
A lip lift is a surgical procedure performed to improve lip aesthetics by shortening the upper lip and giving the area a plumper and more youthful appearance. The procedure involves removing a small strip of skin from the area between the nose and the upper lip in order to reduce the vertical length between the two, which can bring the dimensions of the upper and lower lips into better proportion. The reduction of skin also increases the amount of pink lip tissue that’s visible, making the lips look fuller and more pronounced. The surgical scar typically becomes imperceptible, hidden at the base of the nose.
In short, a lip lift surgery helps to improve lip shape and aesthetics without the need for fillers and with longer-lasting results. The procedure is suitable for younger patients with a long upper lip and for older individuals experiencing significant signs of aging around the lips and mouth.
Key Benefits of a Lip Lift
- Enhance Your Lips’ Appearance
Give your mouth a voluminous and youthful look. - Enjoy Long-Lasting Results
Have a single surgery that avoids the repeated need for fillers. - Improve Facial Proportions
Aesthetically enhance your lower face by shortening the length between your nose and upper lip.
While both lip lifts and fillers enhance lip aesthetics, they achieve different outcomes. Fillers temporarily boost lip volume and shape but require regular maintenance and do not alter the upper lip's length, which is crucial for facial aesthetics. On the other hand, lifted lips improve lip projection and volume but are more permanent, so patients must be confident about the outcomes they desire.
Recapture a more youthful look and feel.
“Menopause Makeover” is a catch-all term for a procedure or set of procedures that target areas of the body that change during the time of life when women undergo menopause, typically in their 40s or 50s.
Menopause significantly impacts the entire body composition such as an increase in abdominal fat and a decrease in muscle mass, as well as skin changes like thinning and decreased elasticity. The hormonal changes triggered by this natural process cause collagen loss, softening of cartilage, and weakening of bones, leading to issues such as drooping brows, lax eyelids, a less defined jawline, and deep-set wrinkles. Body shape may also change, particularly in areas such as the breasts and abdomen.
A range of procedures may be part of a treatment plan for issues related to facial appearance, including blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), chin implant, rhinoplasty (nose job), facelift, and neck lift. Procedures that address areas beyond the face include a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction.
Key Benefits of Menopause Makeover
- Rejuvenate your facial appearance
Combats effects of hormonal changes that can lead to drooping or sagging skin in the face and neck. - Optimize your body contours
Revitalize areas of the body, such as the breasts or abdomen, that have lost shape and definition. - Boost your self-confidence
Increase your self-esteem following a significant stage in life.
During your consultation, ask about non-surgical options for rejuvenating your facial appearance. Though these are more temporary solutions, skin tightening treatments, skin resurfacing treatments and Botox® (as well as other injectables) can provide improvements, especially when the effects of aging are less pronounced.
