Non-Surgical Procedures

Dr. Andrew B. Denton, Facial Plastic Surgeon

Two of the most important causes of facial aging are the loss of volume - especially in the midfacial, cheek and lip areas - and the descent and sagging of tissue in the cheek and jaw areas. This causes hollows and grooves to develop under the eyes, in the middle of the cheek and in the area between the nose and the corner of the mouth. In the absence of significant skin excess and fatty deposits a non-surgical approach to these problems may be appropriate. By restoring lost volume with soft tissue fillers such as Restylane™, Perlane™ and Juvederm™ cheeks can be lifted and hollow areas filled. The result is a less tired and fresher appearance without the down time associated with a facelift or eyelid surgery. Although the "Liquid Facelift" as this procedure has been called is not an alternative to such anti-aging surgeries as the facelift, forehead lift, brow lift and blepharoplasty, it is an important addition to the range of procedures aimed at rejuvenating the aging face.
