• Neck Rejuvenation 

  

  Did you know that the neck is one of the first places to show signs of aging? This occurs because the skin on our neck is delicate and tends to develop wrinkles faster than they would on the face. Many patients today are combating signs of aging with a neck lift. A neck lift (also known as platysmaplasty) enhances the appearance of the neck by tightening the skin and underlying muscles, improving the overall contour of the jawline. 

• Modern Day Facelift 

  

  The stigma around facelifts has changed drastically over the past decades. A facelift (also known as rhytidectomy) is the most comprehensive approach to treating facial wrinkles and sagging caused by aging. The surgery varies in a range from minimally invasive ‘lunchtime lifts’ to more extensive, sophisticated surgery. A facelift removes excess skin, tightens underlying tissues and muscle and redrapes skin on the face and neck. It can correct midface sagging, marionette lines, jowls and a double chin, maintaining its reputation as the ‘gold standard’ for facial rejuvenation.

• Rejuvenating the Eyes with Blepharoplasty 

  

  Do you find yourself asking, “Why do I look so tired all the time?”… well with age, we all start to notice subtle and sometimes even dramatic changes in the skin around our eyes. Over the years, we see our eyelids begin to stretch, and as a result, the muscles supporting them begin to weaken. This process can result in excess fat to wrinkle above and below the eyelids, causing saggy eyebrows, droopy upper lids, and bags under our eyes. In some cases, the sagging skin around the eyes can begin to obstruct your vision, especially the upper and outer parts of your field of vision. 

• The Minimally Invasive Facelift 

  

  ASAPS member, Christine Hamori, MD from Duxbury, MA describes the Silhouette Lift, a minimally invasive option for patients wanting to recontour the face without more invasive surgery. This sterile procedure is an effective minimally-invasive alternative to the traditional facelift. Dr. Hamori notes, “The Silhouette Lift can be enhanced with small amounts of filler that provide patients with both lift and volume within a short amount of time.”
