December is the perfect time to schedule a facial rejuvenation procedure. There’s nothing more invigorating than greeting the New Year head on with a more youthful appearance. Sometimes just knowing we’re presenting a bright and refreshed look can actually make us feel and act more refreshed! Let your face take center stage as you look forward to the promise of all that’s to come in 2016.
As we’ve detailed over the year, Smith Cosmetic Surgery offers a variety of facial rejuvenation procedures, from surgical options like mini-facelifts to non-surgical techniques such as laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion. To help inspire you, here’s a recap on some of our most popular facial rejuvenation procedures. You can book one of these right now to make sure you head into 2016 with the healthy look you desire—and the self-confidence you deserve.
Part of the ever-popular mini facelift, a customized cheek and neck lift can address sagging or loose skin while elevating the muscles of the lower face and neck. Say goodbye to that age-related double chin and those hallowed cheekbones staring back at you in the mirror. Dr. Brent J. Smith, who has worked exclusively on faces for more than 25 years, has perfected the art of rejuvenating facial contours in the most natural-looking way. Dr. Smith’s mini-facelift surgical technique focuses specifically on tightening skin-supporting muscles around the cheeks and neck, resulting in less swelling and shorter healing time, with effects that last for years. In fact, when you make the decision to have a cheek/neck lift now, you will reap the youthful results for years to come.
Often the most beautiful expressions we make with our eyes lead to some of the most distinct and frustrating age-related wrinkle marks, namely those pesky crow’s feet at the corners of our eyes. In addition to aging, other eye-related issues, including under-eye bags, dark circles and sunken-looking eye cavities, may be more related to stress, sleeplessness or genetics. Dr. Smith handles many of these common complaints with blepharoplasty, a form of facial cosmetic surgery designed to treat upper, lower or both parts of the eye. This specialized eyelift technique works by tightening both the skin and tiny musculature around the eyes, even counteracting drooping skin above the eye.
A brow lift is commonly performed to further compliment an eyelift or blepharoplasty. A brow lift can help with sagging skin on the upper portion of the face; deep forehead lines that add age to the eyes; and “hooding” of the upper eyelids, which can interfere with vision. A smoother, youthful-looking brow has a beautiful way of framing the eyes and face, and Dr. Brent J. Smith uses years of experience sculpting this area to complement your natural features. His careful, precise style of facial plastic surgery—never over-lifting to the point of paralysis—allows for full expression. We want you to look like you—only better!
Fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, rough patches and acne scars… “Be gone!” Fast, flawless laser resurfacing is a highly effective in-office procedure that requires minimal downtime. This breakthrough skin-enhancement method is quickly becoming one of the most popular procedures at Smith Cosmetic Surgery. Why? Well, in as little as an hour, a directed laser beam gently strips away old layers of skin to reveal new skin and repair years of damage from sun, stress, acne and more. Dr. Smith employs some of the most advanced lasers on the market to regenerate new skin, smooth fine lines and quickly create a softer, younger-looking face.
While not a cure-all for all aging skin, microdermabrasion is an increasingly popular and effective treatment for maintaining a youthful appearance, as well as preparing for other procedures such as chemical peels. Because microdermabrasion rids the face’s outer layer of dead skin cells and provides more circulation to the skin, it creates a fresh “glow” while also helping chemical peels penetrate deeper.
Everyone gets wrinkles as they age, but as skin-supporting collagen breaks down over time people also lose that resilient, full look, especially in the lower portion of the face. Liposculpture, sometimes referred to as fat grafting, is Dr. Brent J. Smith’s process of harvesting a patient’s own natural body fat from the abdomen or hips and transferring it to the face to sculpt areas where skin has lost elasticity and fullness. Research has shown that during this process stem cells convert into collagen elastin fiber, helping with key production of new collagen. In effect, transferring natural fats through liposculpture can provide a fresh foundation for a more youthful look.
These are just a few of the procedures that can help patients look and feel more rejuvenated in 2016. Call Smith Cosmetic Surgery to schedule a complimentary skin consultation to review your options for the New Year—and the new you!
