Facial rejuvenation
is all of the things that you can do
00:00:11.578 --> 00:00:15.490
to make people look younger in the face.
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.752
That starts with the skin,
but it also involves things
00:00:18.819 --> 00:00:19.920
like Botox and fillers.
00:00:19.987 --> 00:00:22.570
As we age, the face drops
as we lose volume.
00:00:22.956 --> 00:00:26.293
Even facelifts, when we do a facelift,
we replace that volume.
00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:28.529
That's why fillers
have become so popular.
00:00:28.595 --> 00:00:31.210
The way I do fillers is I do it stepwise.
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.267
I don't want to do too much all at once.
00:00:33.534 --> 00:00:37.804
I think patients do better
and it looks more natural
00:00:37.905 --> 00:00:40.507
if you can do it
in a more stepwise manner,
00:00:40.574 --> 00:00:41.608
without overdoing it.
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.179
Botox is given
this general name now,
00:00:45.245 --> 00:00:46.346
but it is not...
00:00:46.413 --> 00:00:49.049
It doesn't do everything
that patients think it does.
00:00:49.116 --> 00:00:54.688
Botox, all it is, is a protein
that goes in and makes the muscle,
00:00:54.755 --> 00:00:56.050
not contract.
00:00:56.120 --> 00:00:59.593
It is not a filler.
It is not used to lift.
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:01.490
That's all it is: Botox.
00:01:01.862 --> 00:01:07.100
Patients will come in and ask,
can I get Botox for some weird area?
00:01:07.334 --> 00:01:08.802
That's not what Botox does.
00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:13.307
Botox is very good
for the upper third of the face
00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:18.010
to help minimize the contractions
that cause wrinkles.
00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:20.781
If you already have a wrinkle
that's a crease,
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.049
then the Botox may help it
from deepening,
00:01:24.115 --> 00:01:25.619
but it's not going to fill it,
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.800
so you might need
a filler at that point.
00:01:27.866 --> 00:01:31.091
Or you might need a facelift,
and you filler more to fill
00:01:31.158 --> 00:01:34.228
the spaces that have depleted
from volume loss or aging,
00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:37.698
and also to give patients
more of an accent
00:01:37.764 --> 00:01:40.767
to make them look youthful
but not overfilled.
00:01:40.834 --> 00:01:44.538
I don't have a single patient ever
who has gone out and who is walking
00:01:44.605 --> 00:01:46.273
around right now looking overfilled.
00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:48.942
I hate that look,
and it's not something I do.
00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:52.679
I also think Botox can be done
and I do it this way
00:01:52.746 --> 00:01:55.449
where it looks natural,
believe it or not,
00:01:56.383 --> 00:02:01.970
where you can still have some movement,
some animation, without being overdone.
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.725
They know that I'm going to give them
a very natural result.
00:02:05.592 --> 00:02:06.660
We're going to talk through it.
00:02:06.727 --> 00:02:08.362
We're going to come up
with a skincare plan,
00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:11.598
and we're going to utilize
some of the newer technologies
00:02:11.899 --> 00:02:17.037
to help them slow down the aging process
and maybe even reverse it.
00:02:17.104 --> 00:02:21.475
By doing those things in that way,
they never feel overdone,
00:02:21.542 --> 00:02:24.044
or overfrozen, or overfilled.
00:02:24.645 --> 00:02:29.082
It looks very natural, and they're able
to not have anybody really know.
00:02:29.151 --> 00:02:32.186
It's part of the skin
or facial rejuvenation stuff that I do.
00:02:32.440 --> 00:02:34.988
The most common thing,
besides Botox and fillers,
00:02:35.055 --> 00:02:36.323
is I do a lot of FaceTite.
00:02:36.390 --> 00:02:40.327
A lot of times, if a patient comes in
and they don't really want a facelift,
00:02:41.261 --> 00:02:43.430
and they have decent skin quality,
00:02:43.664 --> 00:02:46.834
you can do FaceTite and really get
an amazing result
00:02:47.568 --> 00:02:50.930
with almost no downtime and no incision.
That's tough to beat.
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.410
That's a really big advancement
in the last five years.
00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:58.250
Face and neck lifts, I do also.
I do them pretty regularly.
00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:00.722
Anybody who is doing a facelift
and neck lift,
00:03:00.788 --> 00:03:04.518
with the newer age results and technique,
00:03:04.585 --> 00:03:08.555
is fixing the underlying structures first.
00:03:08.622 --> 00:03:12.226
I do upper and lower eyelid lifts
or blepharoplasties.
00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:16.129
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty
is one of the easiest procedures to do.
00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:19.566
It is also actually heals faster
than probably everything else.
00:03:19.633 --> 00:03:21.635
It heals within like 2-3 weeks
pretty much.
