About Facial Rejuvenation Treatments

As you age, it’s common to experience changes to your facial volume and underlying muscles. Many patients also experience changes to their skin quality because collagen–a protein that helps your skin maintain its structure–naturally declines with age, resulting in laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles that affect your appearance.

Facial rejuvenation treatments are a collection of procedures that balance your facial proportions and enhance your appearance by modifying the appearance of the ears, eyelids, eyebrows, and face. Dr. Wolin can tighten the skin for a smoother appearance to reduce signs of facial aging with personalized procedures based on your unique underlying anatomy.

Otoplasty

Otoplasty/Ear Surgery, also known as ear pinning, is a procedure for both children and adults designed to improve the appearance of the ears. Many individuals seek this treatment due to concerns about protruding ears, which can result from genetic factors or developmental issues. The ears are an essential feature of our faces, and their position and shape can significantly influence our overall appearance. People who undergo otoplasty often wish to boost their confidence, correct congenital ear deformities, or address asymmetry.

Types of Otoplasty

Otoplasty can successfully address uneven ears, allowing for a more symmetrical facial appearance. Depending on your needs, there are several different types of otoplasty procedures that we can perform:

Ear Pinning: Dr. Wolin can pin the ears closer to your head with a thin, discrete incision behind the ear.
Reshaping Techniques: Dr. Wolin can alter the cartilage structure of your ears to improve their shape.
Lobule Reduction: If they have elongated or enlarged earlobes due to gauging, Dr. Wolin can remove tissue to reduce their size and reshape them.
Cleft Ear Surgery: If you were born with congenital ear deformities, Dr. Wolin can surgically correct them to balance them.

Facelift

A facelift (rhytidectomy) removes droopy facial skin for a smoother, more youthful complexion. Dr. Wolin can tighten the skin with discreet, easy-to-conceal incisions to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.

Dr. Wolin can tighten the skin in the mid-to-lower face and manipulate the SMAS layer, a network of connective tissue beneath the cheekbones, to provide a subtle lift for a more youthful appearance.

A mini facelift is a procedure that tightens the facial skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance with discreet incisions for a natural-looking result.

During your consultation, Dr. Wolin can examine your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you refresh your complexion. With a facelift, we can help you balance your facial features and rejuvenate your complexion. He can also perform an eyelid lift or micro fat transfer during the same appointment to enhance your complexion.

Eyelid Lift

An eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) is a procedure that refreshes the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin and tissue for a smoother, more awake appearance. As you age, you may have started to notice changes to the appearance of your eyes–under-eye bags can make you appear tired or older than you are. Droopy upper eyelids can also potentially affect your field of vision. An eyelid lift can address whether you struggle with wrinkles, fine lines, under-eye bags, or droopy upper eyelids.

Types of Eyelid Lift

Since the procedure is customizable, Dr. Wolin can improve your facial symmetry and enhance your appearance with several different types of eyelid lifts:

Upper: Dr. Wolin can remove droopy skin from the upper eyelids to improve your field of vision, address hooded eyes, and help you appear more alert.
Lower: Dr. Wolin can diminish puffy under-eye bags for a smoother appearance to help you look more awake.
Quad: Dr. Wolin can perform both procedures during a single appointment to minimize downtime.

Eyebrow Grafting

Eyebrow grafting, also known as an eyebrow transplant or eyebrow restoration, is a procedure that improves the shape and appearance of your eyebrows. If you have a condition that has resulted in hair loss, or you pluck at your eyebrows, the procedure can improve their appearance for a fuller shape and the balance of your facial features.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

During the procedure, we can harvest hair follicles from one area of the body, usually from the scalp, and place them into the eyebrow area for a fuller appearance. After an eyebrow grafting treatment, you can enjoy:

Fuller brows
Balanced facial features
Lasting results
Natural-looking appearance

With a transplant, we can also reshape the eyebrows or adjust their size based on your aesthetic goals. Unlike traditional hair transplant procedures that require lengthy recovery time and long surgical scars, our innovative grafting technique harvests the hair follicles and places them for long-lasting hair growth.

Brow Lift

A brow lift is a procedure that removes droopy skin above the brows for a smoother appearance to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. A brow lift can also subtly lift the skin above the eyes for a more youthful appearance. Dr. Wolin can tighten the skin while preserving the delicate web of connective tissues and nerves to significantly enhance your appearance with minimal downtime.

Browpexy Through the Upper Eyelid (BUL)

Dr. Wolin can reduce the appearance of wrinkles for a smoother appearance with a specialized procedure that modifies the brows through a discreet eyelid incision. Through the small incision, he can address overactive muscles, elevate the outer brows, and improve the appearance of forehead wrinkles with minimal scarring.

Candidates

If you are in good overall health and want to reduce moderate to severe signs of facial aging, you are likely a good candidate for facial rejuvenation treatments. Since they are customizable, Dr. Wolin can perform multiple procedures during one appointment to minimize downtime. If you smoke, you will need to be prepared to stop temporarily because smoking and nicotine use can affect your recovery.

Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Wolin will perform a physical examination and ask about your aesthetic goals. Please come prepared with any questions you have about the procedure and be prepared to discuss your goals openly. We will also need to discuss your medical history, medications, and lifestyle to create a personalized treatment plan for your needs.

Preparation

To prepare for facial rejuvenation procedures, you will need to:

Stop drinking alcohol for 24 hours before and after the procedure
Refrain from smoking for 6 weeks before and after the procedure
Schedule time off work
Pick up prescriptions ahead of time
Prepare your meals
Arrange for a trustworthy adult to drive you home

Depending on your lifestyle, you may also need to adjust your daily routine to avoid excessive sun exposure. If you experience skin damage from sun exposure, we can delay your appointment until your skin heals. Wearing sunscreen in the weeks before your procedure will be important for the best results.

After Facial Rejuvenation Treatments

Your results will depend on the type of facial rejuvenation treatment you need. However, many patients enjoy smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. You can enjoy lasting results if you take good care of your skin and avoid sun exposure that could cause signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.

The Cost of Facial Rejuvenation Procedures

The cost of facial rejuvenation procedures will depend on your specific treatment plan and whether or not you need additional treatments to achieve your goals.
