How to Reverse Signs of Facial Aging

By Ramtin Kassir, M.D.

The aging process has an impact on our skin, muscle and fat throughout our face. This week, we are showing you a before and after photo of a patient who had a facelift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, fat transfer & ; an endoscopic eyebrow lift to reverse the signs of aging.

➡️Facelift Surgery is designed to reverse the visible signs of facial aging, including the formation of jowls, which obscure the jaw line, the occurrence of a double chin and the appearance of vertical bands of the skin and muscle in the front of the neck.

➡️ Upper and lower eyelid surgery can address excess skin, muscle & fat (typically under eyes -what we sometimes call “puffiness”). The end result? Well rested, youthful eyes.

➡️Fat transfer plumps up facial features with a patient’s own fat and is a very popular alternative to other wrinkle treatments. Fat transfer to the face is a safe and natural procedure designed to recontour your face and provide definition to your cheeks and chin. It can also be used to correct facial deformities and aging hands. Since the fat transfer is from your own body, there is no risk for allergic reaction.

➡️What is a brow lift? As we age, our brows and forehead begin to droop. The effects of sun exposure and pull of gravity yield to sagging skin, wrinkle formation, and increased heaviness of the eyebrows and upper eyelids. A browlift can reduce wrinkles throughout the forehead and sagging brows that are holding the upper eyelids.
