As summer begins, many who want to look younger have been concentrating on getting our bodies ready for swimsuit season; however, we sometimes forget that we don’t spend the whole summer in a swimsuit, and the most looked-at and telltale signs of our age are our face and neck.

To look your best during a long, hot summer, there are a few procedures that will have you looking younger, whether at a beach, in a pool, at a barbecue, or dining at your favorite restaurant. To look restored and refreshed all summer long, here are a few surgical, minimally invasive, and non-surgical procedures to consider:

Facelift and Neck Lift

A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces sagging or folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline and removes loose skin while tightening tissue around the jowls and lower face. A neck lift is often performed as part of our facelift procedures to reduce fat deposits and remove excess skin,  sculpting the neck and redefining the profile.

 At About Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa, we listen to you and communicate with  you discussing the options to meet your goals. All our procedures are performed at our in-office surgical suite giving patients a tranquil and private surgical experience. Depending on the patient’s comfort level, the facelift procedure can be performed under IV sedation or local anesthesia.

 Recovery time is approximately 7-14 days with no exercise for 2-weeks. Social downtime can be longer depending on healing and comfort level. Everyone heals differently but most patients can expect the majority of post-operative swelling to resolve within 2-weeks leaving you with a rejuvenated look that will continue to improve.

Facial Fat Transfer

If you’re looking for a minimally invasive procedure, then consider a facial fat transfer.

 The natural aging process slows the production of collagen and elastin making our skin sag. As we age, muscles weaken and change the underlying structure of the face. When a facelift procedure is not yet needed, a facial fat transfer can add volume back to the face. Men or women ages 30+ can be treated with Facial Fat Transfer.

Patients who are younger can also experience volume loss due to facial anatomy or genetics. This is not due to aging but can cause a tired appearance or make you look older than your true age. Facial Fat Transfer can improve tired looking eyes, bring balance to the face, and even enhance the cheeks for an improved aesthetic look.

Brow Lift

If you feel your forehead looks heavy, your eyebrows droop, you have deep lines between the brows or on the forehead, or you have excess skin or hooding on the upper eyelids, you may be a candidate for a brow lift, which is a surgical procedure.
Both men and women can start to notice their brows sag in their 40’s however younger patients can benefit from a brow lift if they are genetically predisposed to deep, heavy brows.

 Brows can be repaired non-surgically at our Med Spa through injectables such as Botox or Dysport, which can be used to temporarily lift the brow and smooth lines in the forehead. Laser rejuvenation can also help reduce deep lines in the forehead or between the brows.
