Facial Rejuvenation Options

When you look into the mirror what do you see? Are you noticing droopy eyelids, hollow cheeks, jowls, or sagging skin on your neck? Or perhaps you are noticing lines and wrinkles around your lips and eyes. If this sounds like you, it may be time to consider surgical facial rejuvenation treatments. There are a variety of facial treatments available today, the most popular being eyelid rejuvenation, facelift, Botox, and fillers. Read on for more information to help you determine which is right for you.

Eyelid Rejuvenation

Eyelid rejuvenation, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure done to help restore the eyelids to a more youthful appearance. As we age, loss of volume in the face can lead to sagging skin and sunken-looking eyes which can make you look older than you feel. Eyelid rejuvenation is meant to create a younger-looking version of yourself.

Facelift

A facelift is required to correct moderate to severe sagging facial skin. There are many techniques to accomplish a facelift, however, it is very important that you seek out a certified facial plastic surgeon in Denver to perform your facelift surgery for optimal results. Oftentimes, a facelift is combined with eyelid rejuvenation to help best restore a youthful facial appearance.

Botox

Botox is a nonsurgical injectable treatment that can help to soften the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. It is made up of botulinum toxin type A and works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. Botox is most commonly used to treat crow’s feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, and skin bands on the neck.

Fillers

Fillers are also nonsurgical injectable treatments but work differently than Botox. The majority of fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that attracts and binds water under the skin. This helps to restore lost volume to the cheeks, soften the look of lines and wrinkles, and augment the lips. There are many different types of fillers on the market today, including Juvederm and Restylane.
