Cure for Aging Around the Mouth

June 23rd, 2009

With advanced injection techniques, you can dramatically change the entire mouth region in one visit. This 50 year young client had some Juvederm gel filler placed to shape her upper and lower lip.

Then Botox (20 units) was added to quiet the dimpling of the chin and to relax the muscles pulling down the corners of the mouth. The result is a relaxed, elegant look to the lower face, with an inviting elevation of the corners, and a more youthful contour to the chin.

Ask for the Botox injection which relaxes those muscles which cause the ‘down in the mouth’ appearance.

Rejuvenation Surgery Doesn’t Need to Look Plastic

This 64 y/o woman had the benefit of a browlift, a facelift and chin augmentation.

 Rejuvenation Surgery Doesn’t Need to Look Plastic
In a study of thousands of people who had a facelift or other rejuvenation surgery, the overwhelming number were very happy that they elected to have the surgery. One feature of the study was most interesting, the younger people in the study were generally pleased, however the more mature people were also pleased but added that they wished they would have had the surgery earlier in their lives. This addresses one of the concerns we hear during our consultations, “Should I wait longer until I am older? Should I have a facelift as the last resort?”

The more mature clients, in hindsight, suggest that the best time to go forward with your rejuvenation surgery is when you begin to feel that the aging changes have become noticeable. The most frequent concerns are sagging of the neck muscles and skin, onset of the jowling on the sides of the jaw, and the droop of the eyebrows.

Browlift and Eyelid Surgery in Men

Male surgery is not the same as for the female client. The aesthetics in men is very different and one consideration is that we do not want to feminize their look. Men’s eyebrows are typically low slung and generally men do not show a lot of their upper eyelid skin.

In Wayne Newton’s surgery, it is more than the missing moustache that changes his look. His newly elevated brow looks youthful, but the amount of eyelid which shows now is too different from his previous look and emphasizes the difference in the size of his eyes.

Dr. Szachowicz really believes in the value of education before any male has rejuvenation surgery. Even for the famous, a more restrained & conservative approach retains the character of the person far better than a dramatic change.

Juvederm Ultra lip and line filler has just launched its new product upgrade – it now contains lidocaine, an anesthetic. This makes the injection of the gel filler much more comfortable, both at the time of placement and for some time afterward. Some people have reported that they don’t require a dental block placed before the injection of the new Juvederm into sensitive areas, like the lips. 

So come try out the new, more comfortable Juvederm. Whether this is your first experience with gel fillers, or if you want to experience gel fillers with the lidocaine within, try Juvederm Ultra.
