During a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon is the perfect time to address your concerns and ask any questions you may have regarding your physical appearance. \u00a0As we move into the New Year, ask yourself, \u201cHow Do I Want to Define Myself in 2018?\u201d \u00a0\u00a0If you don\u2019t ask the question, you may never know how simple the answer may be. <\/span><\/p>\n

The next two newsletters will address the most commonly asked questions of Dr. Antimarino<\/a> and possible solutions in response to those concerns. <\/span><\/p>\n

January will focus on the Face and Skin with February addressing the Trunk and Extremities.<\/span><\/p>\n

FACE AND SKIN<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your concern is a \u201ctired\u201d or \u201cstern\u201d look, then your options may range from a non-surgical approach to a surgical solution. \u00a0A non-surgical resolution will soften and address minor changes while a surgical approach will give a more permanent solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-surgical: \u00a0<\/strong>Botox<\/a>, a temporary muscle blocking agent, may be used on the forehead and between the eyebrows to calm deep lines that may have developed over time. \u00a0This can soften the appearance of wrinkles or lines on the face and will last approximately 3-4 months. \u00a0\u00a0If your concern is overall \u201caging\u201d or \u201clooking old\u201d, then non-invasive injectables may be your solution. \u00a0Injectables are a non-surgical option used to create fullness, add volume or sculpt a specific area of the face. \u00a0Different products can be used for the cheeks, around the mouth and to enhance the lips. \u00a0Products may last from 9 months to 18 months depending on product and location.<\/span><\/p>\n

A good skin care regimen may also give you a brighter appearance. \u00a0The regular use of a medical grade skin care line can often reduce the signs of aging by producing a clear, healthier complexion. A chemical peel and or laser treatments can address dull or uneven skin tone, dark spots, large pores, sun damage or fine lines to the face. \u00a0Microneedling<\/a> is also used to address uneven texture and acne scarring. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Surgical:<\/strong> \u00a0Surgical options are used to refresh and restore the face to a more youthful appearance. \u00a0Eyelid surgery<\/a> can be a subtle game changer as it opens the eyes and creates a more rested appearance. \u00a0Another procedure used when addressing the \u201ctired\u201d look or heavy brow may be a brow lift<\/a>. \u00a0This involves lifting the brow through small incisions along the hairline to return it to a more natural position.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your concern is neck laxity, often called a \u201cwaddle\u201d, then your options may include a neck lift<\/a> or face lift<\/a>. \u00a0Both surgical procedures help to restore a more youthful look as they tighten and recontour the jawline.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your concern is a double chin then, Kybella<\/a> may be a solution. \u00a0Kybella is a non-surgical injectable that chemically breaks down the excess fat. \u00a0It may take 2-3 treatments to achieve the desired result. \u00a0Liposuction<\/a> to the chin is a surgical procedure that may also be used to remove the excess fat in the neck and chin area.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re concerned with prominent ears, then a minor ear surgery may be needed. \u00a0An otoplasty<\/a> can help improve the shape of the ear and make them less noticeable or less prominent.<\/span><\/p>\n

A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon<\/a> is always encouraged to discuss a patient\u2019s concerns and expectations. \u00a0This discussion, along with an examination, will allow the surgeon to formulate your best treatment plan. \u00a0This may involve surgical and\/or non-surgical treatment options, to be used separately or in combination, to reach your desired goals. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
