Wrinkles tend to settle in with the wisdom of aging. While you gain experience and accomplishments throughout your life, the years naturally take a toll on your face and body. Facial changes, including volume loss and wrinkles, are the most noticeable and problematic for men and women wishing to age like a fine wine. The Plastic Surgery Center in Sacramento and Granite Bay offers an array of face procedures and non-surgical medical spa treatments to restore a more youthful complexion. Our board-certified plastic surgeons can help you age more gracefully.
Fat Displacement
A youthful facial shape features evenly distributed fat pockets and fat pads. These tissues plump up and support the forehead, temples, eyes, cheeks, and mouth areas. Natural aging changes these fat stores; they lose volume, clump together, and sink downward, altering the facial shape. Formerly round and youthful facial features may appear sunken with loose, sagging skin. Other facial areas gain fat as the pockets and fat pads are displaced, namely, jowling or bagginess around the lower face, jawline, chin, and neck.
Wrinkles
Years of facial expressions and muscle movements continuously tug on and crease the overlying skin, forming dynamic wrinkles across the forehead, around the eyes, between the brows, and in other regions. The natural loss of collagen (the “fountain of youth” protein) and skin elasticity leads to static wrinkles with thinning skin that can’t bounce back in place like before. Other facial folds may deepen as fat decreases and shifts. Genetics and lifestyle factors, including smoking, sun damage, and a lack of skincare, can speed up the wrinkling process.
What You Can Do to Rejuvenate Your Face
While some men and women age gracefully with consistent skincare or luck-of-the-draw genetics, others are not as fortunate and may look to facial plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments to restore a vibrant appearance. These procedures can reposition or remove fat, excise loose skin, and promote new collagen production through the natural healing process.
The Plastic Surgery Center can help turn back the years with these face procedures or medical spa treatments and more, including:
- Facelift
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Facial implants
- Eyelid surgery
- Brow lift
- Neck lift
- Dermal fillers
- Microneedling
- Platelet-rich plasma
Our offices offer esthetician services, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, and we can help revitalize your skincare routine with medical-grade products.
Proper sun protection, moisturizing, a healthy diet, and good skin care can help you avoid premature aging. Don’t smoke tobacco or use nicotine products, because this chemical decreases blood flow and can create a leathery appearance with premature wrinkles. However, no amount of dedication to your complexion can stop natural aging. Our board-certified plastic surgeons can help.
