Non-surgical procedures are wonder as not all patients have the time or desire to have an invasive cosmetic surgery procedure in order to gain back their youth. Professional cosmetic surgeons recognize this fact and appreciate the fact that every patient is different and is looking for different things out of cosmetic surgery. This is why many expert surgeons offer several non-surgical procedures to prospective patients. In fact, the liquid facelift is one of the most often requested non-surgical procedures. There are many benefits to choosing this alternative procedure.
Although many confuse a “cosmetic procedure” with “cosmetic surgery,” there are several non-surgical cosmetic procedures that have significant results. As a matter of fact, many of the cosmetic procedures done to reduce wrinkles, reshape the nose, and restore a youthful appearance are actually non-surgical in nature. Many board-certified facial plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons actually specialize in non-surgical cosmetic procedures and provide patients with several non-surgical alternatives that are genuinely effective.
What Non-Surgical Options Are There?
Whether you’re looking to remove wrinkles, have eyelid modifications (blepharoplasty), or have considered facial plastic surgery to correct your nose, there may be a non-surgical alternative for you.
Fat Grafting
This is a procedure where fat is typically removed from the buttocks or abdominal area. The fat is then placed in areas where wrinkles have occurred. The fat fills in the gaps where wrinkles form, providing the patient with smooth skin.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Many times, the tip of the nose may be able to be reshaped using either Restylane or RADIESSE as a dermal filler to smooth out the nose. While this is highly effective, it is a temporary procedure and must be repeated every 6 to 9 months.
Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing
This procedure is used to rejuvenate a person’s face by removing damage due to the sun and minimizing lines and wrinkles. It refreshes the patient’s face and can restore a youthful appearance.
Dermal Fillers
As with the non-surgical rhinoplasty, dermal fillers such as Botox can be used to eliminate wrinkles and lines in the face. This non-surgical facelift requires very little time when compared to recovery from a surgical facelift and may be just as effective. The liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure in which the surgeon uses injectable dermal fillers in order to reposition and reshape the skin on a patient’s face. These fillers are a safe and effective way of eliminating the appearance of wrinkles on the face and providing a temporary relief from the impact of aging.
Many patients choose to have a liquid facelift performed because they want to look younger, but they can’t take the time out of their busy lives to recover from an intensive cosmetic surgery procedure. Other patients prefer to avoid going under the knife at all costs. No matter what a person’s reasons are for choosing this option, a professional cosmetic surgeon ensures they provide the patient with expert, natural-looking results.
Chemical Peel
To help rejuvenate a patient’s skin, a chemical peel is used to remove dead and dry skin. A chemical solution is used to loosen and remove the dead and dry skin and, when the peel is removed, the patient is left with healthy, fresh skin that helps them look much younger.
One crucial fact to know about this non-surgical procedure is it will not provide the same long-term results that a traditional facelift can and will provide. The liquid facelift procedure is known to last for several months before patients need to go back to their cosmetic surgeon for a revision procedure. Then, the dermal fillers are administered to the patient once again, restoring the original results. Most patients visit their cosmetic surgeons every 6 to 9 months in order to maintain the new look that they achieved through the liquid facelift.
