It is extremely important to understand that there are different options available to the person who wants to look younger.

What should I do? Should I do a peel or lasers? What about Botox, Dysport, fillers, or a facelift? I need help with my choices. Facial rejuvenation can be described as having different options or levels, from easier to more complex. The easiest is Level 1. The intermediate procedures are called Level 2.

Non-Invasive Facial Rejuvenation
These options are designed to help with skin sun damage, blemishes, age spots, and fine wrinkles. This level does not involve surgery with cutting, sewing, and stitches. The treatments tend to be simple and have next to no pain. Treatments include peels, lasers, facials, and microdermabrasion. These treatments help with fine wrinkles, weathered skin, age spots, and marks, and improve the texture and tone of the skin. Programs are available that have the goal of making the skin appear more youthful, healthy, and radiant.
The best treatment programs are comprehensive. This means multiple modalities are used to give an enhanced result. The different treatments work synergistically to give a better result than any one treatment alone. Dr. Saunders and his aestheticians will figure out the best program for you.
It is important to understand what these treatments can achieve, but you must also understand that they do not “lift” the face. They don’t give you a facelift or get rid of bags and circles. This is achieved only by Level 3, or surgical options.
These options include less invasive options than surgery. This usually means a tiny needle might be involved. Classic treatment options are Dysport, Botox, Restylane, Juvederm, and other fillers. These treatments work to help with forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and nasal labial folds or puppet lines.
Fillers are modern-day products to “fill up” the wrinkles. They work fantastically and do not require surgery. Bruising and recovery are usually easy. Some more involved treatments in Level 2 might include fat transfer to the face and a deeper peel or laser. This treatment can give even more rejuvenation than the other easier, Level 1 options. It can make the face more youthful, young, and pretty. Fat transfer and peels can give fantastic results and take years off of one’s appearance. You can find more information on Botox and Fillers here.
Again, it is important to understand the limitations. These treatments are not a neck lift, eye tuck, or facelift. Most wrinkles, jowls, and bags need surgery or Level 3 treatments for the best result or the most dramatic changes.
Surgical Options for Facial Rejuvenation
These are the operations that achieve the most rejuvenation and are the best to improve skin in excess, jowls, bags, turkey neck, and other signs of facial aging. This level includes facelift, neck lift, eyelid tucks, forehead lifts, and mini facelift procedures. Dr. Saunders employs the latest techniques available for these operations. This includes tightening the deeper muscle layers called the SMAS and the platysma muscle. Also, Dr. Saunders uses advanced techniques of multi-directional lifting to give a natural and youthful facelift, without the “windswept” look. Additionally, fat transfer can often be added to enhance the cheek area, folds, and overall youthful appearance.
These Level 3 treatments do require actual operations. Pain is typically minimal. Most people are surprised at how minimal pain is and how quickly they get back to activities. Bruising and swelling do take time to go away and the appropriate time off to recover is important.
Most people have high satisfaction with their cosmetic facial surgery and are extremely glad they proceeded with the operation. These operations have a high success rate and have the greatest chances of achieving the desired facial rejuvenation. For more information regarding surgical options, please view the pages on Facelifts and Eye Tucks.
It is important to attend a consultation with Dr. Saunders so he can review your desires and goals. The consultation will be thorough and complete. It will review all facial rejuvenation options and costs.
Dr. Saunders is the author of ‘The Tricky Fountain of Youth: Understanding Cosmetic Surgery’ and ‘A Woman’s Guide to the “Real-Reality” of Cosmetic Surgery’. In his books, Dr. Saunders sorts through a myriad of plastic surgery information in an easy to read and informative manner. Dr. Saunders presents cosmetic surgery topics that focus on realistic options, realistic recovery, and realistic results. Both are a must-read if you are considering cosmetic surgery.
