Before:
The face shows sign of aging as a single unit. The eyebrows have a saggy
look. This gives the appearance of excess skin in the upper eyelids. The
midface has jowls and prominent smile lines.
|
After: Several months following restoration of the youthful appearance with
endoscopic forehead and eyebrow lift, face and neck lift and C02 laser
resurfacing.
|
 |
 |
|
Before:
In this case, the aging of the facial skin
is manifested by fine wrinkles giving the appearance of "cracked dry river bed". Standard face lift surgery
is of little help, so an alternative approach was employed.
|
After: Appearance eight months after deep pharmacologic peel of the face and skin
tightening of the neck. The result speaks for itself.
|
 |
 |
|
Before:
In some individuals the aging is most pronounced in the lips where multiple
wrinkles appear to "radiate" from the mouth.
|
After: The smoother and younger looking skin is evident 6 months following a deep
peel.
|
 |
 |
| Before:
This patient was referred by her eye doctor for correction of droopy
skin of the upper eyelids. At her initial consultation she
indicated that she was also unhappy about the width of the bridge
of her nose. |
After: My
recommendation to her was surgical correction of the droopy
eyebrows, correction of the loose skin of the lower eyelids,
surgical narrowing of the bridge of the nose, and CO2 laser
resurfacing (peel) of the facial skin. This is her appearance 3
months after the procedure.
|
 |
 |
| Before:
Aging changes of the face are usually manifested by droopiness of
the eyebrows, redundancy of the lower eyelid skin, and multiple
wrinkles. |
After: Rejuvenated
facial appearance a few months following endoscopic forehead
(coronal) lift, correction of the hollow look of the lower
eyelids, and CO2 laser resurfacing (peel) of the face.
|
 |
 |
Before: The
mouth area shows signs of aging when multiple fine lines appear.
These are usually familial, and not related to cigarette smoking
as some people may assume.
|
After:
About one year after correction. The CO2 laser was used on the
face as well as the mouth area. |
 |
 |
| Before: As
shown here, the face has coarse and fine lines, the result of
muscle activity, gravity, and changes in skin laxity. |
After: The
CO2 laser resurfacing procedure improves the appearance of the
facial skin by rejuvenating the collagen, tightening the laxity,
and removing surface blemishes. Appearance 3 months following the
laser peel.
|
 |
 |
| Before:
Without being aware of it, a frown or scowl can project a tense
"expression." |
After:
Relaxed natural look several months following endoscopic forehead
lift. (no hair is shaved from the top of the scalp and no scalp
tissue was removed).
|
 |
 |
Before:
Prominent ears can be a source of peer ridicule and may affect a
youngster's self esteem.
|
After:
Complete correction 6 months after ear setback. |
 |
 |
| Before:
This lady underwent a face lift 10 years before this picture was
taken. The remaining fine lines around the mouth and the
"crows feet" were her main concern. |
After: The
face as it appears four months following rejuvenation with C02
laser resurfacing. Note the correction in the asymmetry of the
mouth. (Corrected with Botox injections).
|
 |
 |
| Before:
The neck can exhibit aging in several ways. The
redundancy of the skin under the chin was the problem in this
case. |
After:
Correction following a neck lift. Although present, the fine scars
around the ears are not visible and there is no ear distortion. |
|
 |
|
Before: This young
woman wanted to have a narrower nasal tip with more definition.
This view demonstrates the bulbous appearance of the tip.
|
After: One and a half
years following correction. Note the reduction of the nasal
tip and recreation of the natural "pyramid". |
 |
|
| Before:
In this case the nose
is elongated with a dorsal hump and a slightly widened
and droopy tip.
|
After: Six months
following removal of the hump, elevation of the nasal tip and
streamlining of the profile.
