Today’s economy has caused several men and women to be out of work, many of which are in their mid 40s and older. This commonly leads some of the older generation to my Inland Empire practice. I have seen prospective patients who express their concerns about needing to compete with the younger age group, yet due to their financial woes, undergoing an invasive procedure is not an option.
When meeting with these particular patients, I discuss the available alternatives – non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Although facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, and/or brow lift surgery can provide long-lasting, dramatic effects, there are various treatments that offer similar results. Fine lines, wrinkles, and creases may be treated with facial injectables such as Botox ®, Juvederm ®, or Restylane ®. Overactive muscles can be temporarily paralyzed with Botox in order to smooth out lines in the forehead, while facial fillers (Juvederm and Restylane) can fill in creases along the mouth. In addition, sun spots and skin damage can be remedied with chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser skin resurfacing. Patients who have received these facial enhancements may anticipate a smoother, refreshed appearance. Results for these treatments typically last between six months to a year.
However, should you desire a more long-term result, cosmetic plastic surgery procedures may also be performed. Hooding in the brows and eyes may be corrected with browlift surgery and/or eyelid surgery. The underlying muscles in the forehead can be elevated to a more youthful position and excess skin and tissue can be removed. Facelift surgery can help reduce the appearance of sagging skin the cheeks, neck, and jowl area.
Although their years of work experience and skills may speak for themselves, some middle-aged individuals have found that the increase in confidence after facial rejuvenation helps them get back out into the work field. These procedures are often seen as an investment in their careers, which are cost-effective and can be financed to alleviate added extra stress regarding affordability.
