Frequently asked questions about aging signs and facial rejuvenation
« I am not satisfied with the appearance of my lower face »
Over time, tissues tend to sag downwards, which creates unsightly jowls. The angle between the chin and the neck also becomes less and less defined. Skin in the neck can be distended and excess fat can sometimes accumulate. Facial roundness as well as the angle between the chin and neck can be improved with non-invasive or surgical treatments.
Bitterness folds can appear on each side of the chin and mouth. In this case, the recommended treatment course is likely to be non-invasive, combining hyaluronic acid and Botox injections to fill in folds and rejuvenate the area.
« My eyes look tired because of dark circles and under eye bags »
With age, under eye bags and dark circles can develop under the eyes, which results in a permanent tired appearance of the eyes. This tired look on the eye can be corrected with a non-invasive approach (in office procedure) or surgically (hospitalization is required). Dark circles and hollows around the eyes that develop over time can be treated with hyaluronic acid injections or fat grafting. Fat deposits under the eyes, commonly called under eye bags, can only be removed surgically (no scars). Typically, facial rejuvenation begins by treating hollowed areas around the eyes, because treating this issue can alleviate under eye bags significantly. Discoloration around the eyes can be treated with light depigmenting peels.
« My eyes are hooded by my eyelids »
Over time, the upper eyelids tend to develop excess skin, which results in a tired or sad appearance of the eyes. This issue can be treated non-surgically with Botox injections or Ultherapy, but when excess skin is significant, cosmetic surgery becomes necessary to achieve a satisfying result. Blepharoplasty is the most common procedure among patients in their forties (men and women).
