a variety of different procedures. Depending on how drastic you want your results, you can
talk to a Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon about procedures which would work best for you.
Some common procedures for facial rejuvenation are less invasive, and some are much more.
The less invasive procedures would be categorized under Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery
procedures, since they usually do not involve the same techniques as in plastic surgery.
These procedures include anywhere from chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing,
microdermabrasion, Botox, and other injectable fillers which reduce, rather than remove
wrinkles, age spots, and other aging features making the skin appear younger, refreshed,
rejuvenated. These types of procedures are less expensive, but often the results don't last
longer than 6-12 months, requiring multiple visits to the cosmetic surgeon.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are the more invasive and more expensive, but their
results are often much more dramatic, and longer-lasting. Beverly Hills plastic surgery
procedures that are often employed for the most significant facial rejuvenation results
include facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, facial liposuction, as well as cheek
and chin implants, all customized by your Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to give you the best
results to fit your needs and expectations. Many technological advancements in Beverly Hills
plastic surgery have made these procedures more affordable, with less recovery time and more
natural-looking results.
Up until 2002, only one type of facial line and wrinkle filler was available - injectable collagen derived from cow proteins. While it lasted only a few months, due to its animal origins, it was the only treatment option available. Since 2002, six (6) new injectable fillers have been approved for use in the United States, all of which are made up of different (and better by the way) materials which last longer with fewer pot7ential skin problems. This has resulted in a great amount of confusion and misinformation for patients. (and some doctors as well) With the certainty that more new injectable fillers are on the way in the next few years, it is important for patients to have some basic understanding of the similarities and differences between the choices that they have.
Today's injectable fillers can be classified into two basic types: hyaluronic acid (HA or hyaluron) and particulated (particle-containing) compositions. Just because they are injectable does not make the different fillers the same. HAs are now the gold standard of fillers since they arrived in 2002 and have relegated old-style collagen to an almost historic footnote. Since they are synthetic 'knock-offs' of natural human hyaluronic acid, the patient does not need a skin test prior to injection and they last at least twice as long as collagen. The alleged differences between the four commercially-available HA injectates (Restylane, Hylaform, Captique, and JuvaDerm) is largely marketing-driven and no clinical studies has ever compared how long all of them last compared to each other. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be injected without fear of excessive lumpiness as they have the consistency of 'warm Jello'. JuvaDerm and Perlane are touted as lasting the longest currently and my observations is that it appears to be true. Newer more concentrated forms of HA are being developed that have the promise of greater longevity. The particulated fillers contain synthetic beads or particles (plastic or ceramic) in different liquid carriers. (Radiesse and ArteFill) Due to the non-resorption of the beads (which usually make up less than 25% of the solution), longer-lasting effects are seen than with the HAs. Equally important, because the beads do not resorb, some 'permanency' of volume can be achieved over time with repeated injections. However, because of the particles and the potential risk of lumpiness, these particulated fillers should not be injected into the lips. the common problem of deep nasolabial folds is an ideal location for the particulated injectable fillers.
Since no injectable filler is ideal for every patient or type of facial line or wrinkle, the best plastic surgeons usually work with two or three different ones to custom treat each facial problem. It would not be uncommon for me to use, for example Radiesse in the nasolabial folds and Juvaderm in the lips, in the same patient. Knowing the properties of each type of injectable filler allows them to be used to their best advantage.
