Cosmetic surgery has become incredibly popular with cosmetic surgeons performing more than 15 million procedures each year. Facial surgeries are particularly popular, which is understandable. The face is the first thing people notice about us. Disliking something about your face can cause your self-esteem to plummet, which can negatively affect nearly all areas of your life.

Fixing your facial irregularities can boost your self-esteem and positively affect how others view you.

While popular cosmetic surgeries such as rhinoplasty (nose job), facelift, brow lift, and eyelid lift can certainly help you look younger, refreshed, and more attractive, there are two procedures that are also increasing in popularity. We’re talking about facial fillers and facial implants. Both procedures can reverse the years and enhance your features, but which one is right for you? This post will help you answer that very question.

By the end of this post, you will know the difference between the two types of cosmetic surgery, the key differences between them, and whether one over the other may be right for your specific situation.

What are Facial Fillers?

Facial fillers (also called dermal fillers) are injectable materials used to improve the appearance of the face. By strategically injecting fillers into the face, the cosmetic surgeon can smooth away moderate to severe wrinkles and add youthful fullness to the face. While many people are familiar with Botox cosmetics as an anti-aging injectable, dermal fillers work differently. Botox freezes muscles in the face to eliminate laugh lines and forehead wrinkles, for example. Dermal fillers respond to trouble areas by infusing collagen while simultaneously stimulating collagen growth. This effect not only improves the facial appearance, but the results get better over time as more collagen is produced by your facial skin.

What Types of Facial Fillers Are There?

The most common facial fillers available include:

Calcium Hydroxylapatite (Brand names include Radiesse)

This substance is naturally found in human bones. The facial filler used by cosmetic surgeons is biosynthetically produced, so you can rest assured that no animal products are used in the development of this popular facial filler. The mineral-like compound is used to eliminate frown lines and enhance facial fullness to reverse the signs of age. The results look natural and side effects are rare.

Hyaluronic Acid (Brand names include Captique, Perlane, Restylane, and others)

Hyaluronic acid injections are used to reduce depressions in the skin caused by injuries, scars, and lines. The injections can also improve the skin’s contours. Like calcium hydroxylapatite, hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body. The injectable form is extracted and reformulated and has now become one of the most popular dermal fillers on the market.

Polyalkylimide (Brand names include Aquamid)

This dermal filler is semi-permanent and used by cosmetic surgeons to treat deep wrinkles, plump the lips, and enhance the cheeks and jawline. The injectable formula is biocompatible, which means the body tolerates it quite well. Like some of the other injectable fillers on this list, polyalkylimide causes collagen to form, improving results over time.

Polylactic Acid (Brand names include Sculptra)

This synthetic facial filler also causes collagen to form once injected into the skin. In fact, the formula is known as a stimulator and has been used for over 40 years as a suture material. The filler can fill laugh lines, plump the lips, and treat deep nasolabial folds. Unlike other fillers, polylactic acid does not produce immediately noticeable results. The results develop over time as collagen is produced. Many patients require around three treatments of this facial filler to achieve the desired results. Each injectable treatment stimulates your own collagen to form, which can take between one to three months to see the results you want.

Polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (PMMA) (Brand names include Bellafill)

This facial filler is considered semi-permanent and is used to treat medium to deep wrinkles and folds. Like polylactic acid, it can take a few months to achieve the results you want. The substance is often used in place of collagen replacement therapy as well as a supplement to permanent surgical implants.

Have You Considered Fat Transfer?

There is another type of filler we have yet to mention. Referred to as facial fat grafting, adding your own fat to your face can restore volume and add fullness just like the fillers already mentioned. Using your own fat has several advantages. For one, you know you won’t experience allergies. Another is that you can slim down an area of your body while simultaneously enhancing your face. This is because liposuction is used to extract the fat before it is purified and injected into the desired treatment area. Fat from your own body also lasts much longer than dermal fillers in terms of adding volume.

During the fat grafting process, the cosmetic surgeon will remove tiny amounts of fat. Popular donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. The fat is purified and then injected into an area of your face that requires filling. The results look natural and are long-lasting.

What Facial Irregularities Can Dermal Fillers Correct?

Facial fillers are excellent treatments for minimizing or reversing the signs of age. The right filler can add volume to sagging skin, make your face more symmetrical, plump the cheeks and lips, and smooth away wrinkles. Some medications for HIV/AIDS can cause thinness in the face. Dermal fillers can restore lost volume after taking these and other similar medications.

Who Should Not Have Facial Fillers?

You should rethink getting facial fillers if you have an underlying condition such as a bleeding disorder or allergy to one or more filler substances.

How Long Do Facial Filler Results Last?

The anti-aging and volume restoration effects caused by facial fillers can usually last from 9 to 18 months. Your results may vary depending on the amount and type of filler used.

What are Facial Implants?

Facial implants are custom-designed prosthetic devices that are implanted under the skin to add symmetry and balance to your facial features. During implant surgery, custom-made solid materials are inserted through incisions into pockets in the facial tissue. Once the incisions are closed, a bandage or tape is placed overtop to facilitate healing. Scars are hardly visible if cared for properly and can be easily concealed with cosmetics. Cosmetic surgeons strive to hide incisions within the natural folds of your skin. Chin implant scars, for example, are commonly found inside the mouth and are invisible following surgery.

How Many Different Types of Facial Implants Are There?

Nose Implants

Nasal implants are used to make the nose more pronounced. They may be used to add a pointier tip or to increase the height of the nose bridge.

Cheek Implants

These implants can make your cheekbones appear more rounded and symmetrical. The effect begins just below the lower eyelids, which is an area that tends to sag during the aging process. After cheekbone implants, patients tend to look years younger and more attractive. Cheek implants can also be used to make the cheekbones more pronounced in people who were born with less volume in that area.

Chin Implants

Chin implants give you a well-structured chin, which tends to be an attractive feature that conveys supreme confidence.

Who Should Not Have Facial Implants?

You should rethink facial implants if you have an allergy to suture materials, tape, blood products, glues, and injected agents.

What Features and Irregularities Can Dermal Implants Correct?

The purpose of facial implants is to augment the skeletal structure of the face. After undergoing facial implant surgery, your face will look more symmetrical with greater balance between your facial features.

How Long Do Facial Implant Results Last?

While facial fillers need to be replenished every year or so, dermal fillers leave results that can extend for the rest of your life.

Can You Get a Facial Filler Over a Facial Implant?

Yes, facial fillers and facial implants can be used in conjunction to produce the desired effect. It may be beneficial to undergo facial implant surgery first, then wait to inject fillers to determine if they are needed after the swelling and bruising subside.

Tips for Deciding Between Facial Fillers and Implants

Number of Treatments

This factor represents one of the key differences between facial fillers and implants. With facial implants, you have the surgery once and you are done. The results last for life. With facial fillers, you may require between two to five treatments to achieve the desired results. The injections then need to be repeated once the effects wear off.

Longevity of the Results

Results from facial implants last forever while facial fillers tend to last up to two years at the most.

Length of the Cosmetic Surgery

Facial fillers take around five to ten minutes to complete all the injections required to add fullness and reverse the aging process. Facial implant surgery, on the other hand, can take up to three hours, depending on the type of implant you want.

Anesthesia

With fillers, no anesthesia is used since no surgery is required. Facial implant surgery is another story entirely. Getting an implant requires general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep for the duration of the procedure. Though some cosmetic surgeons opt to use local anesthesia or twilight sleep.

Recovery Time

Facial fillers take between one and two hours for complete recovery. With facial implants, you may face a downtime of between three and six weeks before your face is fully healed.

Bruising and Swelling

Filler injections can produce bruising and swelling, but the effect is usually minimal. With facial implants, you may have mild to moderate bruising that lasts for several weeks following surgery.

Cost

Because facial implants last for a lifetime, they tend to be more expensive than fillers. If cost is a concern, perhaps facial fillers may prove to be the most cost-effective option.

What if You Change Your Mind Later On?

This is one element you will want to consider carefully before opting for either cosmetic treatment. Most people who get fillers and implants hope the results last a lifetime. But if you change your mind at a later date, you will need surgery to remove facial implants. With fillers, you merely have to wait for the results to expire before your face is returned to normal.

Schedule a Consultation with Filler and Implant Cosmetic Surgeon Doctor Babak Moein

You now know more about the differences between dermal fillers and facial implants. If there is an aspect of your face you dislike, you now have plenty of options to enhance your appearance and self-esteem.

You may be a suitable candidate for facial implants if you feel you have weak bone structure and want lifelong results.

On the other hand, if you want more subtle results and the ability to change your mind at a later date, dermal fillers may be more your style.

You and your cosmetic surgeon may find that dermal fillers and facial implants used in conjunction are the best course of action for a more symmetrical and attractive face.

Keep reading to learn why so many people facing the degenerative effects of age are turning to the non-surgical alternative to the surgical facelift. We will also cover how the procedure works, the benefits that go beyond anti-aging, the risks, and whether insurance covers some or all of the fees involved.

By the end, you’ll find out where to undergo the procedure in & near Los Angeles, California.

The Traditional Facelift – What if You’re Not Ready to Commit?

Getting a facelift is a common way for men and women to recapture their youth. The cosmetic surgical procedure gives you a younger-looking face. The technique can smooth folds of skin along the cheeks and jawline and get rid of saggy skin to leave tighter skin behind.

During a facelift, a flap of skin on either side of the face is pulled back. The cosmetic surgeon then manipulates the tissue below the skin before removing excess skin. When the remaining skin is reattached, the skin is pulled tighter, leaving a more youthful shape behind.

Some people pair the facelift with a neck lift, which reduces fat and saggy skin on the face and neck.

Drawbacks

There are some drawbacks to the facelift. For one, the procedure cannot correct fine lines and wrinkles left behind by sun damage. For another, the incisions made during a facelift can leave scars behind. The traditional facelift uses incisions that start at the temples and continue down to the front of the ears. A neck lift involves incisions made underneath the chin. The resulting scars will fade over time but may remain visible for years to come.

There are also risks to the facelift, as there are with any surgical procedure. Common risks of the surgical facelift include a collection of blood called a hematoma, nerve injury, skin loss, and hair loss.

The surgical facelift also takes several weeks to heal. Bruising and swelling will be present immediately after surgery but will resolve within seven to ten days. You can return to your daily activities and your job within around a week. But what if you don’t want to or can’t take a week off work? Is there an alternative to the facelift when you want to look younger? Turns out, there is. More on that in a moment.

Or What if You Don’t Qualify?

For many people, the scars and downtime are not a deterrent to the facelift. They are more than willing to risk the negatives for all the permanent positives you can gain. But then there are those that do not qualify for facelift surgery.

If you have undergone too many surgeries or if the signs of aging are localized to the eyes, and if you want to reconfigure your complexion, the facelift may not be right for you.

The good news is that you do not have to undergo surgery at all to rejuvenate your face and erase the years. This alternative procedure is known as Silhouette InstaLift, the non-surgical facelift.

There is a Non-Surgical Facelift Alternative

InstaLift is a minimally invasive technique that uses Micro-Suspension Technology to give you a younger appearance. The facelift procedure lifts your mid-facial skin, including deep nasolabial folds and saggy cheeks. InstaLift also boosts facial volume by activating your body’s natural collagen production over time.

The procedure is performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office and takes less than an hour.

How Does the Non-Surgical Facelift Work?

The FDA-cleared technology involved with InstaLift offers natural results. Before the InstaLift, your cosmetic surgeon will explain the micro-suspension technology and how it works. The treatment areas around your face will then be marked with a pen. A local anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable during the non-surgical facelift. Only then does the procedure begin.

During the InstaLift, the surgeon places a biodegradable thread and absorbable cones in the superficial fat layer just beneath the skin where you wish to be lifted. The threads themselves are made of a well-known polymer that is often used in medical devices and that is well tolerated by the body.

The surgeon inserts a thread suture underneath the skin, then uses artistic skill and expertise to reshape the skin’s surface. No incisions are required and there are no resulting scars. The suture is inserted using a fine needle.

Since age can lead to saggy skin, deep folds, and loss of volume, the InstaLift produces an immediate lift that improves over time.

The InstaLift is Not a Thread Lift

You may have heard about the Thread Lift that uses barbed permanent sutures. That technique used to be the popular method of lifting the face without resorting to surgery. InstaLift is different. With the Thread Lift, the bared sutures failed to provide adequate holding power. This would cause the sutures to snap since the barbs would cut into the suture material. Because of these problems, the Thread Lift technique was removed from the market.

InstaLift uses biodegradable sutures and soft cones that dissolve over time. You can guarantee that these sutures and cones will give you the lift necessary to enjoy a youthful face for many months (or years) to come.

What are the Results of the Non-Surgical Facelift?

The Silhouette InstaLift produces results that are gentle but noticeable. Your results may vary, but you can look forward to erasing up to ten years from your appearance. The results are comparable to the traditional facelift. The technique combats sagging and wrinkling, as well as a loss of facial volume. For some, the InstaLift can help reduce a double chin, tighten the neck and jowls, and raise drooping eyebrows. InstaLift can even soften a harsh appearance, reduce acne scarring, not to mention boost your self-confidence and self-image.

The immediate outcome when you walk out of the office is only the beginning. The placement of the temporary threads triggers the body’s healing response. Wherever the threads are placed, the body begins to deliver more collagen. Over time, the face is able to sustain the facelift results on its own without relying on the threads. When that time comes, the threads will dissolve on their own. They do not need to be removed.

You can expect to see the results of the non-surgical facelift in stages. The first stage is the lift you experience after leaving the cosmetic surgeon’s office. The next stage happens about a month later with subsequent stages continuing for the next 12 to 18 months.

The Silhouette InstaLift can be repeated every year for sustained results.

Read our article: Facial Cosmetic Surgery – What Results are Possible?

How Long Do the Results Last?

The results of the InstaLift procedure last up to two years. Your cosmetic surgeon may recommend repeating the treatment prior to the two-year period to produce seamless, continuous results over the long term.

How Much Downtime is Needed Following InstaLift?

Downtime is a consideration you always have to make before undergoing any kind of procedure. Knowing there will be downtime allows you to schedule time off work and prepare your home for a lengthy recovery period.

You will be pleased to know that, unlike the surgical facelift, the InstaLift comes with almost no downtime at all. After the InstaLift, you may experience minor pain along with swelling and bruising. Your cosmetic surgeon will still recommend that you take it easy for a couple of days, at least. But compared to other cosmetic procedures, recovery with InstaLift is incredibly fast. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within two to four days.

Are There any Risks?

The InstaLift procedure can lead to bruising and swelling in the hours and days following the procedure. These effects will subside on their own, allowing the true results of the non-surgical facelift to shine through.

Rare side effects of InstaLift include temporary nerve inflammation, infection, and asymmetry. Unfavorable side effects will be discussed with you during the consultation for the procedure, where you will also learn if you are a prime candidate for this amazing technology.

How Much Does the Non-Surgical Facelift Cost?

The Silhouette InstaLift comes with a cost that ranges between $2,500 and $6,000 with an average cost of around $3,375.

To put that into perspective, the surgical facelift comes with an average cost of around $8,005.

Does Insurance Pay for the Non-Surgical Facelift?

Health insurance companies tend to cover procedures that are deemed medically necessary. Since the Silhouette InstaLift treatment is aesthetic in nature, insurance will not cover the procedure. There are other ways to afford InstaLift if you cannot come up with the full cost of the procedure upfront. Ask your cosmetic surgeon about medical financing with companies like Care Credit or Prosper Healthcare Lending. You should also consider a personal loan, credit union loan, or borrowing money from friends and family.

Where Can You Undergo the Non-Surgical Facelift in Los Angeles?

The technique may be temporary but can be repeated every two years to keep your face looking younger than your chronological years.

When you look your best, you tend to feel your best. Knowing this, it’s no surprise that facial cosmetic surgeries are on the rise all over the world. All it takes is a subtle improvement of your facial appearance to enact dramatic change. And since your face is the first thing people see when they meet you or notice you across the room, the right facial cosmetic treatment could open new doors that were previously not open to you – personally and professionally.

Cosmetic surgery has been on the rise in recent years with a focus on both the face and body. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that nearly $17 Billion was spent on cosmetic surgery in 2020 across the United States. But when it comes to the face, the number of cosmetic procedures has jumped by nearly 50% since 2013, especially among those under the age of 30.

Experts attribute the growing fixation on facial appearance to the rise in selfies and video chatting using mobile devices. And, of course, we cannot forget about Zoom Gloom during the COVID-19 lockdowns, which saw growth in facial cosmetic surgeries because people lamented about their appearance during Zoom meetings.

In 2020, the American Society of Plastic Surgery published its Plastic Surgery Statistics Report. That report stated that, among the top five cosmetic surgical procedures, three were facial surgeries: The Facelift, Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty), and Eyelid Surgery.

Minimally invasive procedures were also popular in the report, with Botox (Injectable Neurotoxin), Chemical Peel, Laser Skin Resurfacing, Soft Tissue Filler, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment topping that list.

There are several important reasons why facial cosmetic treatments are becoming more popular.

Cosmetic Facial Surgeries Are More Accepted

In the past, cosmetic surgery for the face had a stigma attached to it. You couldn’t let anyone know you had a facelift or nose job. Today, cosmetic surgery for the face has become more socially acceptable. Even celebrities are openly admitting to having work done on their foreheads, eyes, cheeks, lips, and chins.

Facial Appearance is More Important Than Ever

With the increased use of social media, people are spending more time paying attention to the way they look. With selfies, FaceTime, and Zoom chats becoming regular aspects of our society, everyone is taking photographs or videos of themselves. That also means they are more likely to notice flaws and areas they wish to alter. Cosmetic facial surgery to the rescue!

Facial Surgery Has Advanced

Technology and techniques in cosmetic facial surgery have improved immensely over previous years. You no longer see people with that “windswept” look following a facelift. Today’s surgical results offer a natural look that makes people wonder if you had work done or are merely taking better care of yourself.

Cosmetic Facial Surgery is More Accessible

Aesthetically altering one’s appearance used to be reserved for celebrities and the ultra-rich. That’s not the case anymore. While cosmetic surgery isn’t necessarily cheap, it is more accessible to the average person. In households where both partners hold jobs and secure a regular income, cosmetic surgery is not necessarily out of reach.

There are also more options for payment than in the past. If you need help paying for a facelift, nose job, or eyebrow lift, you can always turn to medical financing with companies like CareCredit. These programs offer low rates and long-term payment options that make paying for the facial surgery you prefer much easier.

Now that you know why people are getting their faces tweaked with aesthetically artistic techniques, let’s look at a few procedures in greater detail to determine what the fuss is about. After reading this list, you may find yourself scheduling an appointment for a consultation to have your face readjusted. Doing so could give you a subtle appearance boost for a major surge in confidence.

What Facial Surgeries are Most Popular Today?

Here are the most requested facial cosmetic and non-surgical treatments by men and women alike.

Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty (colloquially known as the nose job) is a procedure aimed at reshaping the nose. Most people opt for a nose job to alter the appearance of the nose. However, that is not the only reason to undergo rhinoplasty. Some people choose this procedure to help improve breathing and give them an aesthetic boost simultaneously.

During the procedure, the cosmetic surgeon has the option of altering the bone, cartilage, or skin of the nose. In some cases, all three are modified to achieve dramatic results.

The surgeon typically uses local anesthesia during this surgery along with sedation. This is an outpatient procedure that uses a small incision made at the base of your nose. The small cut allows the surgeon to manipulate the bone and cartilage underneath the skin without bothering the surrounding facial tissues.

The bone and cartilage can be removed or added. If tissue is being added, the cosmetic surgeon may take cartilage from deeper inside your nose or from your ear. If the change is significant enough, the surgeon has the option of taking cartilage from a rib or other parts of your body. After the changes have been made, the skin and tissue are sewn into place, resulting in minimal scarring once healed.

The average cost of a nose job is $5,483, according to the ASPS. The insurance does not usually cover the procedure.

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures for both men and women. The procedure aims to remove droopy skin from the upper eyelids. It will also removes the excess fat from the upper and lower eyelids. The results can be dramatic.

People choose this surgery because they want to decrease the puffiness underneath the eyes. The surgery creates a brighter and more alert appearance. If you have dark circles under your eyes or excess skin that impairs your vision, you can treat those issues with this amazing cosmetic treatment.

Cosmetic eyelid surgery is also an outpatient procedure that requires anesthesia. During the surgery, incisions are made along the natural folds of your eyelids. This has the added bonus of hiding any scarring.

The average cost of eyelid surgery is $4,120. Insurance can cover the procedure if it is deemed medically necessary, such as hindered vision caused by excessive eyelid skin.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

The facelift has come a long way in recent years. During the procedure, signs of aging are reversed by removing excess skin and fat, and by adjusting the muscle under the skin. You don’t get that “windswept” look but, instead, look younger and more refreshed with glowing skin to boot.

Read our article: Can Aging Skin Be Made to Look Younger?

As we get older, the skin of the face becomes thinner and loses its elasticity. You may also lose muscle volume. This can result in jowls on the lower portion of the face, as well as deep wrinkles and loose skin.

If you feel self-conscious about the way your face is aging, a facelift might be right for you.

During the procedure, incisions are made behind the hairline. They start near the temples, where they then traverse to the area in front of the ear. These cuts are hidden in the natural folds of your face, which hides the resulting scars.

After the surgeon makes the incisions, he/she adjusts the tissues beneath the skin while removing the excess skin on the face. This has the effect of eliminating jowls and saggy skin underneath the chin.

When you wake up from surgery, though there will be some swelling, you will notice that your face has taken on a naturally youthful contour.

The average cost of a facelift in the U.S. is $8,005. The procedure is considered elective. So, the health insurance usually does not cover it.

Neck Lift

The neck lift is handy for getting rid of the excess hanging skin under your chin. Some people refer to this skin as turkey neck. Tightening up this area can give you a more defined and youthful neck for long-lasting results.

Read our article: Look Dramatically Younger with a Neck Lift

The neck lift is sometimes performed in conjunction with a facelift. This will rejuvenate your entire face from the forehead to the area underneath the chin.

During the procedure, which is performed with local anesthesia combined with sedation, the cosmetic surgeon makes a tiny incision behind each ear and under the chin. Liposuction is then used to suction fat from the jaw area and beneath the chin area. This is the technique that can give the lower portion of your face greater definition.

Read our article: Cosmetic Surgery for a Defined Jawline: Is it Possible?

After the fat removal, the surgeon can remove excess skin and tighten the neck. This will leave the area looking more naturally youthful.

The national average cost of a neck lift is $5,242 with insurance unlikely to cover any of the costs associated with the procedure.

Forehead or Brow Lift

This cosmetic facial surgery aims to raise the brows to leave the area free of fine lines and wrinkles. The surgery improves the appearance of the forehead and areas around the eyes. You would be an ideal candidate for the procedure if you have a low, saggy brow or if your eyebrows are asymmetrical.

In some cases, the brow lift is performed alongside the facelift or eyelid surgery to transform your facial appearance.

Read our article: Is a Brow Lift or Eyelid Surgery Right for You?

Cosmetic surgeons have options on how to perform the forehead lift. The technique your surgeon chooses will determine where the incisions are placed and how the resulting scars look once healed.

Two Options

The first option is the endoscopic brow lift. During this type of procedure, the cosmetic surgeon makes several small incisions behind the hairline. A long thin tube is inserted into the cut with a light and camera attached. This lets the surgeon view the underlying tissues and muscles using a monitor.

Once the tools are inserted, the surgeon lifts the forehead tissues and anchors them in place using sutures. The incisions are then closed with small clips or stitches.

Another option for this surgery is known as the coronal brow lift. During this procedure, the incisions are placed behind the hairline across the top of the head. The forehead is lifted into its new position and sewn into place. You would not be an ideal candidate for this type of procedure if you have a high hairline, are likely to lose your hair, or have thinning hair.

Finally, there is the hairline brow lift. During this procedure, an incision is made between the forehead and the beginning of the hairline. A small amount of skin is removed before the remaining tissue is sewn into place. This type is most often used for receding hairlines.

The average cost of a brow lift is $3,900 with insurance unlikely to cover the procedure.

Facial Implants

You have heard about breast implants and butt implants that add shape and volume to those areas. Facial implants work the same way.

Facial implants are made of solid materials that are compatible with human tissues. You and your surgeon can decide on the size and shape of the implants. It depends on the features you wish to correct.

The most common areas to correct with face implants tend to be the chin, jaw, and cheeks.

Chin implants aim to increase the size and projection of the chin to make it more proportional to the forehead and middle of your face.

Jaw implants increase the width of the lower portion of your face.

Cheek implants make your cheekbones more pronounced, adding volume to areas that are flat or otherwise recessed.

Like breast and butt implants, facial implants are made of synthetic materials, such as silicone. They are placed underneath the skin and muscle to offer natural-looking results.

During the procedure, a pocket is made underneath the skin and muscle, whereby the implants are fitted so they make a secure fit. The surgical site is then closed with sutures. In most cases, the cosmetic surgeon will hide the incisions within the natural folds of your face. This will hide any scarring that results.

The average cost of facial implants falls between $3,137 for chin augmentation and $3,669 with insurance unlikely to cover the costs associated with the procedure.

Non-Surgical Options for the Face

Botox (Injectable Neurotoxin)

Botox is only one brand name for a line of injectable neurotoxins meant to paralyze certain muscles in the face. Other names associated with this non-surgical face rejuvenation procedure include Dysport, Xeomin, Myoblock, and Jeuveau. The result of the injectable procedure softens facial lines. It leaves you looking younger, as well as more relaxed and alert.

Patients choose injectable Botox and other neurotoxins to rid the face of wrinkles between the eyebrows, wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), horizontal creases in the forehead, and lines at the corners of the mouth. The treatment can even take care of cobblestone skin along the chin area.

Keep in mind that the FDA has only approved injectable neurotoxin treatments for use around the eyes and forehead.

It takes around 24 to 72 hours before the toxin takes effect. The results last up to 12 months, whereby you will have to return to your cosmetic surgeon’s office for retreatment.

The average cost of Botox for facial rejuvenation is between $10 and $15 per unit with most people requiring up to 40 units during each session. Insurance may cover the cost of the procedure if the treatment falls under FDA approval.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a treatment that uses a chemical solution to remove the top layers of the skin. Those layers then grow back smoother with less noticeable wrinkles, discolored spots, and scars. A chemical peel can be performed on its own or in conjunction with other cosmetic facial treatments.

Depending on the issues you wish to address on your face, your cosmetic surgeon can use a light, medium, or deep chemical peel.

A light chemical peel removes the outer layer of skin only. This layer is known as the epidermis. This treatment is useful for ridding your face of acne, fine wrinkles, and uneven skin tones. A light peel can even fix facial dryness. The surgeon usually repeats this treatment every two to five weeks.

For a medium peel, skin cells are removed from the epidermis and dermis (upper and middle layer of skin). You can use this treatment to treat acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin tones. The treatment is usually repeated once or more often to achieve and maintain the results you want.

For a deep chemical peel, skin cells are removed from the deeper layers of skin. This treatment is used for deeper wrinkles. Precancerous growths, and unsightly scars. One treatment is usually enough to give you the full effect.

The average cost of a chemical peel is $519 with insurance rarely picking up the tab.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Like a chemical peel, laser skin resurfacing removes skin layer by layer. This will allow new skin cells to grow back for a healthier and more youthful appearance. This treatment is ideal for treating blotches, wrinkles, lines, and scars.

The outpatient procedure can be performed on the forehead or around the eyes or mouth. The treatment takes around 45 minutes for certain facial portions or up to two hours for a full-face treatment.

The average cost of laser skin resurfacing is around $2,509. Insurance does not usually cover this cosmetic facial procedure.

Kybella Double Chin Treatment

Kybella, which is also known as deoxycholic acid, is a natural substance that dissolves fat within the body. When injected under the chin by your cosmetic surgeon, Kybella attacks the membranes of fat cells, which liquefies them. This lets the body absorb the fat cells, leaving the area under the chin slimmer.

If you have double chins, the medical term of which is submental fullness, this treatment could be right for you.

The treatment takes around six months for you to see the full effects and the results are permanent.

The average cost of injectable Kybella treatment falls between $1,200 and $1,800. You may require multiple treatments to achieve the desired effect. Insurance is unlikely to cover the procedure.

Soft Tissue Fillers

Soft-tissue facial fillers are substances that are injected into the skin, much like the Kybella double chin treatment. Instead of dissolving fat, the fillers smooth wrinkles, making them less noticeable.

This is an outpatient procedure that uses a local anesthetic and takes around an hour to complete.

There are various fillers you and your cosmetic surgeon can choose, depending on the issues you wish to correct.

Hyaluronic acid fillers go by the brand names Juvederm, Restylane, and a few others. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that surgeons use for the treatment of wrinkles. The results can last up to 12 months.

Calcium hydroxylapatite is a filler that goes by the brand name Radiesse and surgeons use it to contour the jawline. This facial filler can also restore lost volume in the cheeks, as well as treat deep wrinkles and skin folds. The results can last up to a year when used for facial contouring. It can last up to three years when used to smooth away wrinkles.

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is a technique that uses your natural fat cells to fill in lost volume in your face. First, the surgeon removes the fat from the lower abdomen or another area of your body using liposuction. The fat tissue is then purified before it is injected through small incisions into your temples, lips, forehead, or cheeks. The effects can be permanent. However, you usually need to go more than one session because your body tends to absorb some of the fat.

Bellafill is the brand name of a permanent soft tissue filler. You can use it to smooth away deep wrinkles around the mouth. Your body cannot absorb Bellafill, so you don’t need any reinjections. We don’t recommend this brand of filler as a first-time facial filler treatment.

Poly-L-lactic acid filler goes by the name Sculptra. People use it to restore facial volume due to aging or illness. This treatment usually takes two or three sessions to achieve the desired results. The effects will last up to two years.

Facial fillers can cost between $717 for Radiesse to $2,508 for natural fat grafting. Insurance usually does not cover facial filler treatments.

Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Treatment

Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) (also referred to as photo facial) is a method for improving the color and texture of your skin without the use of surgery. The treatment is ideal for reversing sun damage. You can use it on the face, as well as the neck, hands, and chest.

During the procedure, the intense light emitted using the Lumecca device heats the skin. This helps the body get rid of unwanted cells. Unlike laser treatments, the IPL device emits more than one wavelength of pulsating light. That allows for the treatment of a wide range of skin conditions at the same time.

After IPL, your skin tone will appear more even. The treatment works best if you have pale or light brown skin. It has a minimized downtime since IPL treatments don’t affect surrounding tissues.

The average cost of IPL treatments for the face falls between $700 and $1,200.

Keep in mind that all of the above costs for these facial treatments are estimates only. They may not include costs associated with anesthesia and other necessities.

Everyone knows wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy skin are common parts of life.

We know these signs as symptoms of aging, and nowhere are they more apparent than on your face.

As we grow older, our faces begin to change.

Facial Changes

These changes follow a predictable pattern, which goes as follows.

Loss of Volume:

Age causes the face to lose fat and the bones to become restructured. To anyone looking at us, our face appears hollowed out. The skin also looks less supple.

Diminished Skin Laxity:

The muscles and fascia (supportive tissue) that hold our face in place begin to weaken. This leads to saggy skin and a loss of skin definition.

Dermal Alterations:

The above changes are only the ones we can see. Deep down at the cellular level, biological processes begin slowing down, which can change your skin’s color and level of elasticity.

Scientists aren’t quite sure why our faces change as we age.

Though, they do have theories.

Some experts think facial changes related to skin, muscle, and bone are caused by the pull of gravity over time.

Others attribute the descent of tissues to be based on the natural phenomenon of bone resorption.

We do know that genetics, lifestyle habits like cigarette smoking, and excess sun damage can accelerate facial aging.

At any rate, and whatever may cause your face to become wrinkled, lined, and aquatic over time, cosmetic surgery seeks to correct those changes.

Cosmetic surgeons can reverse the signs of aging using various procedures like the popular facelift, skin resurfacing, and non-surgical techniques like the non-surgical facelift. How many years they can reverse is subjective, but dramatic improvements are possible.

Let’s look at all we know about facial aging and how it’s possible to help you look younger using one or more aesthetic techniques.

What Factors Contribute to Facial Aging?

Sun Damage

Sunlight is one of the major contributors to facial aging.

Catch too many rays, and you leave yourself open to developing sunspots, wrinkles, dilated capillaries, and skin cancer.

Smoking

Smoking is bad for your health and can cause premature aging. The ingredients in the average cigarette permeate your skin, causing a loss of collagen and, eventually, skin wrinkling.

Smoking also slows blood flow to the skin. This keeps nutrients from nourishing your skin cells and removing toxins.

Staying Dehydrated

Not drinking enough fresh water daily can keep your skin from achieving a healthy glow. You will also fail to lubricate your joints, muscles, and organs properly.

When you are in constant dehydration, you leave yourself open to ruddy skin and various skin conditions, including eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis.

Dehydration also makes fine lines and wrinkled skin more apparent.

Repetitive Facial Expressions

Believe it or not, always making the same face can lead to facial lines.

It makes sense. When you make a facial expression, you contract certain muscles, which can cause the skin to crease.

Repeating the same expression over several years can make these lines in your facial skin permanent.

Drinking Alcohol

To retain a youthful look, you might think twice about imbibing with alcohol.

Drinking wine, spirits, and beer dehydrates your skin. Over time, dehydration can lead to skin damage.

Drink too much and too often, and you can begin to look older than your chronological years.

Sitting Around

Being a couch potato is bad for your health and skin.

Not using your muscles causes them to atrophy.

Being lazy also causes a decline in cellular health, contributing to your face looking much older than you would prefer.

Poor Diet

Processed foods, sweets, and sugary sodas offer little in the way of nutrition.

These foods can cause inflammation, leading to a host of ailments and contributing to greater aging of the face.

Inadequate Sleep

Your body does most of its healing while you are asleep.

Not getting enough sleep can leave you feeling worn out and looking the same.

Your body won’t run as efficiently with inferior quality sleep, and that includes down at the cellular level.

Drinking too much caffeine, especially later in the day, can further destroy your natural sleep patterns, leading to uneven facial skin.

Chronic Stress

When life becomes too much, the body tends to react.

Being stressed out causes your muscles to contract and your adrenal system to work overtime.

This can have horrible effects on the quality of your skin, including on your face.

What are the Signs of Facial Aging?

Dull Skin

When we are young, our complexion practically glows with youthful vigor.

Age tends to create another, less pleasing effect.

Growing older can leave your skin looking uneven with dark spots and flaky skin.

Wrinkles and Fine Lines

At some point, the skin of the face begins to produce less collagen and retains less moisture. This is part of the natural aging process.

These effects can cause permanent lines and wrinkles on the forehead, around the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet), and around the mouth.

Saggy Skin

Once the skin has lost collagen and elastin, sagginess tends to occur.

Sagginess that reaches the jawline and under the chin is commonly called jowls.

When the sag occurs around the eyes and forehead, you begin to look at others like an older, more exhausted version of yourself.

Volume Loss

Growing older (and wiser) causes your facial anatomy to go through a number of visible changes.

A loss of collagen and a decrease in bone density can cause your facial proportions to shift.

This is why older faces tend to appear thinner.

The loss of tissues can also cause the face to appear sunken.

Cosmetic Surgery for Anti-Aging Facial Treatments

Anti-aging advancements have paved the way for several cosmetic enhancements meant to give you smoother, younger skin.

Anti-Aging Facial Treatments in L.A.

Injectable Neurotoxin for Crow’s Feet and Expression Lines

You may have heard of Botox, but this is only one brand name in an entire line of neurotoxins. Dysport is another brand you may have heard about.

These painless injections can be administered in mere minutes.

The anti-aging effects take about three to five days to manifest.

Once you see the results, you’ll experience fewer creases and fine lines in the treatment area.

Eyelid Lift and Brow Lift for Saggy Facial Skin

When you notice droopy skin around your eyes and on your forehead, there are two procedures you might consider.

The eyelid lift and brow lift are ideal for severe skin elasticity issues.

The results of surgery will not only make you look younger but also well-rested and refreshed.

Facelift Surgery Can Reverse Years from Your Face

Facelift surgery was one of the top five cosmetic surgeries in 2020 for anti-aging facial treatments.

Advancements in what doctors refer to as the rhytidectomy procedure allow an expert cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Babak Moeinolmolki (Dr. Moein) to correct aging on the face.

During the surgery, excess fat is removed from the face while underlying tissues are tightened.

The sutures are placed in camouflaged locations to hide scarring once fully healed.

Results from facelift surgery allow for natural-looking results that last longer than they did in past decades.

The ideal time for a facelift is the moment you notice deposits forming on your face or fine lines becoming deeper entrenched, especially around your eyes and mouth.

Facelift surgeries come with high patient satisfaction rates and cost around $8,500.

The anti-aging procedure is popular with both men and women.

Are There Non-Surgical Methods to Correct Facial Aging?

When you’re not ready to commit to cosmetic surgery, there is still hope for your aging facial skin.

Dermal Fillers

Injectable fillers go by names like Restylane and Juvederm, to name only two.

A series of injections in strategic areas can restore your facial shape and add volume to your skin.

The simple and effective anti-aging facial treatment is ideal for treating fine lines, acne scars, and issues of facial asymmetry.

Renuvion for Skin Tightening and Anti-Aging Facial Treatment

Renuvion is known as a subdermal skin tightening procedure.

The procedure and recovery are quick, and the procedure is known to leave you with immediately tighter skin.

Renuvion resurfaces and rejuvenates the facial skin and can help reverse the jowl effect.

Small incisions are made, which function as entry points for the reunion device.

A lidocaine solution is inserted beforehand to aid with discomfort.

This is the procedure to choose when you want firmer and smoother-looking skin.

Insta-Lift Non-Surgical Facelift

This technique (also referred to as the Silhouette InstaLift) is an FDA-approved facelift procedure that aims to contour the face and reverse the signs of aging.

The cosmetic procedure is non-surgical and non-invasive.

The InstaLift is ideal when you want your face lifted and the contours realigned to appear more youthful.

The technique uses an innovative thread technology that targets the underlying layers of facial skin. This stimulates collagen production, leaving your skin refreshed.

Skin Resurfacing for Anti-Aging on the Face

CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing is a powerful laser technology that helps to reverse the aging process.

When used on the face, the cosmetic procedure makes your skin tighter, causing wrinkles to disappear.

The downtime feels like you’ve just had a sunburn and diminishes over time.

You may require several sessions, which are spaced out at six-month intervals.

Lumecca IPL Skin Rejuvenation

This anti-aging facial treatment is excellent for correcting sun damage, redness, and skin pigment irregularities.

Lumecca can also help with acne scarring, vascular lesions, and dark spots.

The treatment can be completed in one or two sessions and involves cooling technology, making it safer than other cosmetic treatments.

Lumecca IPL is also painless. There are no incisions and, thus, no scarring.

The procedure uses a handheld wand that emits Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).

After just one anti-aging facial treatment, your skin becomes smoother, clearer, and more radiant.

Fractora Skin Renovation and Scar Treatment

This resurfacing and subdermal coagulation treatment can boost your complexion while correcting skin irregularities.

The technique uses bipolar radiofrequency at various depths under the skin via a series of pin electrodes attached to a handheld wand.

When applied to the facial skin, the treatment areas become heated, leading to rejuvenation and ski contraction. The results will leave you wrinkle-free with radiantly youthful skin.

Make Skin Care Part of Your Daily Routine

Age will eventually come for us all.

While we think you look terrific just the way you are, you can take steps to ensure your skin always looks its best.

The first step is to cease any behaviors contributing to advanced facial aging.

Review the factors we discussed earlier that may cause you to look older and do the opposite.

You don’t have to quit them all today but take baby steps. Over time, you may find yourself:

• Avoiding too much sun
• Ceasing smoking cigarettes
• Drinking more water
• Easing your facial expressions
• Eliminating or reducing alcohol consumption
• Getting more exercise
• Eating better
• Sleeping more soundly
• Reducing your stress

If you can make the above habits, you’ll be well on your way to looking younger and more refreshed.

You can take the next steps by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Moein for one or more anti-aging facial treatments.

Sleeping well after procedures like the facelift and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is the best way to get the most impressive results.

The facelift and tummy tuck happen to be two of the most common cosmetic surgeries performed today. They are both major surgeries that can dramatically alter your appearance.

The facelift can give you tighter, younger skin on and around the face.

Abdominoplasty can give you a narrower midsection and tighter abs.

This advice would also work well with other major cosmetic surgeries like breast augmentation, Brazilian butt lift, and the arm lift/thigh lift. Studies show that getting a good night’s sleep following these procedures helps your body heal more efficiently. That’s just what you want when recovering from cosmetic surgery.

While the facelift and abdominoplasty are unlikely to be performed together, the way you should sleep after surgery works for both aesthetic procedures. Here are some tips that can help you get deeper, more rejuvenating sleep as you return from the cosmetic surgical center and begin to heal at home.

Why is Sleep Important After Cosmetic Surgery?

A good night’s rest is important for health reasons, period. Without sleep, you face a whole host of problems, including daytime sleepiness and general illness. Sleep helps to regulate your mood, digest food better, and think more clearly. Your body also operates more efficiently when you get a full amount of sleep each night.

After cosmetic surgery, you need quality sleep to curb inflammation and improve blood flow between your body’s tissues and cells. The deeper you sleep, the faster your incisions and affected tissues will heal, and the quicker you’ll see your cosmetic surgery results.

There is one additional reason sleep is so important. Sleep tends to make the brain more resistant to pain stimuli. That means that quality sleep can more or less function as a low-level pain medication, free of charge, and without a prescription. All you need to do is rest deeply, which can be done by adhering to the following deep sleep habits.

Deep Sleep Habits for Cosmetic Surgery Patients

Following aesthetic surgeries like the facelift and abdominoplasty, you can forget about sleeping on your stomach for a while. Likewise, if you are used to sleeping on your side. You’ll have to get used to sleeping on your back, at least until your body has fully healed.

Sleep On Your Back with Your Head Elevated

During the initial healing process, do your best to stay on your back with your head elevated. Keep this position throughout the night and until morning. Doing so has three primary benefits.

Less Swelling: Keeping your head and body elevated cuts down on the amount of fluid that accumulates near the incision sites. With less fluid, you’re able to reduce swelling which can improve both comfort and healing times.

Incision Protection: Laying on your back keeps your pillow and sheets from rubbing against the incisions around the face after a facelift and around your abdomen after abdominoplasty. This lets the incision sites heal as you restfully doze.

Maximized Results: Sleeping on your back will help you maintain the aesthetic look your cosmetic surgeon gave you.

Practice Early

The time to start practicing sleeping on your back and upright is around two weeks before your procedure. This helps you adjust to the position naturally. You’ll also be able to tweak your position until you find the techniques that work best for you.

Sleeping in a recliner might be a good idea, at least for a few days following surgery. If you don’t want to go that route, opt for a firm mattress, and lay with a pillow or two under your knees. If you tend to roll in your sleep, place extra pillows around your body to keep from tumbling over in the night. This position should keep you comfortable enough to heal properly after the facelift or abdominoplasty surgery.

Prepare Your Bedroom

While you’re practicing your sleep habits a couple of weeks early, you can go the extra step by cleaning your house, preparing some meals, and tending to any chores that will make your living space comfortable enough for a good night’s rest. You may also want to invest in room darkeners, which can help you achieve a deeper sleep.

Ease Stress

Many people find themselves incredibly stressed when they have cosmetic surgery. They’re worried about their results. If you’ve taken the time to find an experienced cosmetic surgeon, chances are low that you will have complications. These issues should be discussed with your surgeon beforehand, but the time immediately following your surgery is definitely not the time to worry. Try your best to relax. Only when your mind and body are completely at ease can you hope to achieve fast and effective healing.

Care for Any Swelling

If you notice areas swelling after your cosmetic surgery, use a cold compress to reduce the swollen tissue. Press lightly against your skin with the compress for thirty seconds, then remove. Repeat this cycle for around fifteen minutes. You can do this routine each hour as needed. The cold in the compress helps to reduce inflammation and slow blood flow, which helps to make the swelling less prominent.

Move Around

During your waking hours, try to get as much activity as possible (as long the activity methods are okayed by your doctor). Getting your body moving by briskly walking, for example, improves your circulation, which aids in healing. You’ll also set yourself up to sleep a little deeper come evening.

Cut Back on Caffeine

To get the most rest, try to reduce your energy drink and caffeine consumption to the absolute minimum. At the most, stop drinking sleep-disrupting beverages by three to five in the evening, depending on your level of sensitivity. These drinks can either keep you awake at night or rob you of the deepest sleep, neither of which are good for proper healing.

In short, getting enough sleep promotes proper healing and is necessary for attaining the most beautiful and long-lasting results after a facelift, abdominoplasty, or any other major cosmetic surgery.
