Banish wrinkles, folds, and creases.
Combat persistent wrinkles, lift sagging skin folds, and smooth out creases to rediscover the defined contours of your face. Excess fat and lax skin often contribute to an undesired profile, but a facelift, combined with filler injections, can reposition facial tissues and replenish lost volume, minimizing the persistence of creases and wrinkles.
Revitalize a youthful appearance.
With the natural aging process, skin elasticity and volume decline. By incorporating fillers, lost collagen is replenished, providing a relaxed, rejuvenated, and youthful appearance. The removal of excess skin and the firming of loose skin contribute to reshaping the graceful contours of your face, fostering a younger and more confident look.
Facialplasty Procedures
Sometimes achieving a youthful appearance necessitates surgical intervention. Unlike relying solely on injectables or non-invasive procedures, a facialplasty actively restructures the skin and facial tissues, resulting in a more enduring rejuvenation. While the primary focus is on surgical techniques, there is flexibility to enhance or complement these procedures with non-surgical approaches, offering patients a comprehensive strategy to attain their desired aesthetic outcome.
Surgery
Before undergoing a facialplasty to begin the restoration of your youthful beauty, Dr. Fan will administer general anesthesia. The surgical process entails making an incision at the temples, extending down in a natural line just inside the cartilage of your ear or in front of it, and continuing behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. This incision allows for the removal of excess skin, smoothing out wrinkles and tightening the remaining facial skin. Through the meticulous restructuring of both skin and facial muscles, elasticity is restored, effectively eliminating wrinkles, folds, and creases. Post-surgery, a compression bandage is worn, and the results are expected to last between 8-10 years, depending on the quality of your skin and its connective tissues. Dr. Fan may also incorporate non-surgical methods to further enhance the effects of the procedure.
Agnes RF
Focusing on the underlying tissues, Agnes RF employs a minimally invasive radiofrequency (RF) device to stimulate collagen production, tighten loose skin, and enhance skin texture. This controlled delivery of radiofrequency energy proves instrumental in various facial rejuvenation procedures, including contouring, reducing fat deposits, and promoting improved skin elasticity.
Kybella®
Through the strategic injection of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, Kybella works to eliminate fat cells, creating a sculpted and well-defined facial profile.The effectiveness of Kybella varies from person to person, with optimal results often achieved through multiple treatments. This approach ensures that patients receive the most effective and tailored outcomes for their unique needs.
