What about nonsurgical treatments?

• Have lost volume in their cheeks with age

• Have naturally hollow or flat cheeks

• Have lost a lot of weight, causing sagging cheeks

• Have asymmetry in their cheeks caused by genetics, a physical condition, or a trauma

 

Dermal filler injections can be a good option for patients who want to avoid the time and expense of surgical implants. Since dermal fillers create temporary results, it can also be used to get a clearer idea of the amount of volume and lift they need before committing to nonsurgical cheek augmentation. 

​

CHEEK AUGMENTATION TECHNIQUE

Prior to your nonsurgical cheek augmentation, your assigned Specialist will perform a detailed examination to decide on a treatment plan that is best for your unique facial structure. In your consultation, you will decide on the type of filler you'd prefer and the areas you'd like to address. 

​

Dermal fillers can be done at our McLean, VA and Emporia, VA office as an outpatient treatment in about 20 – 30 minutes. For the procedure, the injection sites will be cleaned and marked along the mid-face. Then, the dermal filler will be injected into the cheeks and massaged to create an even fullness. You will be able to leave right after the treatment and continue your normal activities.

​

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT

After dermal filler injections in the cheeks, the mid-face may feel sore or tender with mild swelling for around 3 – 5 days. Cold packs and over-the-counter pain relievers may be used to ease any discomfort. Optimal results are typically seen in 10 – 14 days. Continuous treatments will be necessary since dermal fillers are a short-term option. Be sure to talk with your Specialist during your initial consultation about how often he thinks you should return for touch-ups.

NONSURGICAL FACELIFT

Regardless of your aesthetic concerns, there are numerous facelifts available. Some facelifts rejuvenate the upper area of the face while others focus on the middle and lower. In addition, some techniques are a bit more invasive than others. It's very common for some patients to have an eyelid lift, brow lift, or BOTOX and fillers to complement and enhance their results. Some of the more known facelift techniques include:

• Full Facelift

This facelift is reserved for individuals who have signs of advanced aging. With this lift, various techniques may be used, including an eyelid lift to enhance the eyes or a neck lift for the lower region.

• Mid-Facelift
  Incorporating a similar method to the mini facelift, the mid-facelift (cheeks) addresses the droopy features close to the cheekbones, as well as the upper jaw. This lift works great for those who seek improvement in the middle to lower region of the face, including the jowls.

• Lower Facelift
  This lift corrects the chin area and neck and sometimes the jowls. Nonsurgical methods, such as a KYBELLA injection, can also be applied for chin augmentation to attain a younger, tighter-looking neck.

• Mini Facelift
  When undergoing a mini facelift, RF Needling is done around the ears to lift the skin to a higher position, which affects the mouth and jawline. This method creates subtle improvements that look natural.

​

LIQUID FACELIFT

A liquid facelift is a nonsurgical procedure that allows patients to experience the benefits of a facelift without having to undergo a major aesthetic surgery. A liquid facelift uses a combination of injectable wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers to enhance the face. Fillers add volume to achieve a natural fullness while relaxers help smooth facial lines and wrinkles for a softer profile. During your initial visit, Specialist will build a custom treatment plan that meets your specific goals. On the day of your appointment, the specific combination of injectables will be administered to various areas of the face. Since this is a minimally invasive procedure, patients will be free to go home immediately afterward.

The recovery period will look different, depending on whether you undergo a surgical or nonsurgical facelift. With a surgical lift, you can expect to experience some bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort, but these sensations are normal. Typically, most patients feel and look better after about 2 – 4 days. For those who received a liquid facelift, you may experience some swelling and bruising, but optimal results are usually seen after about 7 – 10 days. The results of a liquid facelift are temporary, and if you'd like to maintain your results, future touch-ups will be needed. Patients often return every 4 – 6 months to refresh their results.

​

Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?

If you have a thin or low hanging upper lip, then this procedure can offer you stunning results for a sexy, alluring pout. Contact our office today to set up a consultation to learn more.

​

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A LIP LIFT?

Ideal candidates for a lip lift are in overall good health and wish to enhance the contours of their upper lip for greater definition. This procedure can be performed on men and women 18 years of age or older who desire a fuller but natural-looking pout. It is also an excellent option for those who desire long-lasting results. Prior to your procedure, Specialist will perform a full exam of your facial contours and discuss your aesthetic goals. From there, a custom treatment plan will be created to suit your unique needs.

​

LIP LIFT SURGERY

Lip lift surgery is an outpatient procedure that uses general or local anesthesia and is typically performed in under an hour. Once you are prepped, Specialist will carve out a bullhorn-shaped strip of skin just below the base of the nose. The strip of skin is gently pulled away from the underlying tissue, elevated, and then sutured along the natural curves of the nostrils. This process elevates the upper lip and enhances its peaks (Cupid's bow) to provide a symmetrical profile. The result is a fuller-looking upper lip.

​

AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE

After a lip lift, most patients experience a mild pulling sensation for about 2 – 3 days and swelling for up to two weeks. These symptoms are normal and will subside as your lip heals and settles into its new position. Inflammation and discomfort can be eased with over-the-counter pain medication and/or a cold compress. After about one week, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to remove the stitches. Any mild bruising or redness can be concealed with makeup.

 

LIP LIFT FAQS

What about scarring?
Since there is no incision there is no scaring. Many patients are generally surprised by the seamless results that lip surgery has to offer, and in the hands of an expert Specialist, you can rest assured that your outcomes will look natural.

​​

Can I combine my lip lift with another procedure?

Yes. Many patients opt to include a skin rejuvenation treatment or cosmetic injectables with their lip lift. A combination of wrinkle relaxers and fillers can be incorporated to soften marionette lines or enhance fullness to the lips for an elevated allure. During your initial consultation, be sure to talk to Specialist about all of your cosmetic goals so he can build a custom treatment plan that meets your concerns.

​

How long will a lip lift last?
Results from a lip lift are long-lasting, which is why so many individuals prefer a surgical lift over temporary injectables. However, it does not stop the natural aging process. Over time, your skin may lose its tautness and your upper lip will eventually settle into a lower position.

​

Will my results look natural?
Yes. In many cases, lip lift surgery generally offers more natural-looking outcomes than injectable dermal fillers. With a lip lift, excess skin is removed and pulled tight for a fuller contour and to highlight the curves of the Cupid's bow. The larger the wedge, the greater the lift. With dermal fillers, there is a limited extent to which you can improve lip height. Fillers can provide a beautiful fullness, but in some cases, this level of projection is not preferred.

This method of skin tightening is conducted until the desired shape and contour has been achieved. Even though sutures are placed at the incision area, scars should not be visible since they were placed under your chin.

AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE

After a neck lift, there will likely be some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these effects will fade with each passing day.
