If you would like to fight signs of advanced age, it's important to consider the various aesthetic enhancement procedures that we offer at our Mammoth Lakes, Visalia, and Fresno plastic surgery centers. There are many different options available, which means we have many options when it comes to meeting your aesthetic goals. When you come in for a consultation, we'll be sure to explain all of your options to you in full detail. This will allow you to make the most informed decision about your treatment.

Options for Advanced Anti-Aging

There are many different ways that you can fight the signs of aging. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging of the facial skin can be dealt with using facial surgery as well as non-surgical treatments such as microdemabrasion, peels, facials, and light therapies. In general, the two most popular facial plastic surgery and rejuvenation options are facelift surgery or non-surgical dermal filler injections. We'd like to take a moment right now to compare these two so you have a good understanding of what they entail and how they may benefit you.

Facelift Surgery

In order to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging in the middle-face area, many people undergo Fresno facelift surgery. A facelift surgery is performed by making incisions along the hairline area. Through these incision, excess skin and tissue is removed. Once that is completed, the skin is pulled tighter to improve overall appearance. The incisions are well hidden and will fade with time as well. The results can be quite remarkable, with patients looking years and years younger. The facelift can also be targeted for specific areas of the face, such as the forehead, the lower face, and the neckline. Every surgery will be tailored to the specific needs of the patient.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler injections are an alternative to facial plastic surgery that do not require any downtime or major surgical recovery. During a dermal filler treatment, the dermal filler is injected direct into the treatment area. The filler will then enhance the volume of the injection site, eliminating hollows, deep lines, and fines lines. The results will last for a few months. The use of dermal fillers and non-surgical facial rejuvenation has actually increased in popularity over the years, with more and more people getting these treatments for great aesthetic effects.

The Best Option for You and Your Needs

We can't possible tell you which option would be best for your needs over the internet, which is why it's important for you to visit our cosmetic surgery practice serving Fresno. During your consultation, we will present both options to you and give you a full down of the full risks and benefits of each option. We'll make sure you are as well informed as possible so you can make a great choice about your appearance.
