The signs of aging are due to a variety of factors including heredity, stress, environmental conditions, sun exposure, smoking, and gravity. If you find that sun damage or signs of aging make you look older than you feel, there may be a cosmetic procedure that would be right for you.
Let’s face it – over time, we all age, and often the effects of aging are visible on our faces. As we grow older, our skin loses elasticity and can begin to sag. Deep creases often develop between the nose and mouth. Excess fat and sagging skin in the neck area can result in the appearance of a “double chin.” Luckily, both women and men can correct some of these signs of aging with a facelift. A facelift (or rhytidectomy) is a great way to bring back your younger looking face and neck, without the wrinkles or loose skin. Dr. Viggiano can help you look refreshed and renewed, and a more youthful face can boost your self-esteem.
As we age and our skin’s elasticity decreases, our eyebrows can start to droop and sag and as our eyebrows change, they can cause our eyelids to sag as well. Sagging eyebrows and eyelids can cause women and men to appear tired, angry, and older than they really are. Brows are also susceptible to developing deep wrinkles over time. For many patients, other skin treatments or injections can reduce or remove these wrinkles. However, some deep-set wrinkles need a different treatment, and this is where a browlift can help. Dr. Viggiano works with each patient individually to determine the right course of treatment to correct brow issues.
The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions and stress. Some people feel they are not ready for a full facelift because the upper face is still pleasing. However, many patients will note excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a double chin or “turkey wattle” and jowl lines. A neck lift enhances the appearance of the neck by tightening the skin and underlying neck muscles and improving the contour of the jawline. If your neck skin is also sagging but your face is not, then a neck suspension will help you.
Like many cosmetic procedures, facial liposuction can help you regain your confidence and self-esteem. Facial liposuction can drastically reduce areas of localized facial fat. The typical areas that are treated well with facial liposuction are the nasolabial folds (the folds that go from the corners of your nose to the corners of your mouth), the jowls, and the neck. These are essentially no-scar procedures with minimal down time. Improvements last a lifetime.
