The "3-D" Lift
Turning Back The Clock
Using your own body fat to refresh facial or body contours is an important rejuvenation option. If you compare a photo of you from 10 or more years ago, often you notice the facial changes so many of us undergo over time. As we age, it's common for the upper cheeks to lose support tissue under the skin and even appear drawn and hollow, the lower eyelid area can also appear hollow, and crow's feet at the sides of the eyelids get more obvious. The mouth area under the skin can also thin out while lines around the lips become more prominent. The brow seems to droop some, too, as the deeper tissues thin out. All this together means the envelop of skin over our faces loses its support and seems to begin to sag and look "older". This also contributes to lines and wrinkles of the face and body just as much or even more so than sun-damaged skin.
So the "space" under the skin is thinning out over time. We all go through this to some degree and
as we age, the process progresses. So, what's the answer to turn back the clock here?
There is good news - The "3-D" Lift - because we are lifting the tissues by re-filling the spaces under the skin - the 3rd dimension spaces. Because the face is three dimensional - It has height, width, and "depth."
While wrinkle lasers can improve lines and wrinkles of the skin, and face lifts can decrease
what seems to be excess skin, another way to think about aging and aesthetic rejuvenation is in
terms of re-filling the spaces where aging has really resulted in a loss of "support".
Multiple area fat transfers - The "3-D" Lift - is also an artistic procedure - to recreate youthful contours and facial balance.
How is it done? A small amount of body fat is taken from the tummy area or elsewhere and under sterile surgical conditions, is injected where it is needed - under the skin around the mouth area and lips, in the cheek bone areas, under the folds at the sides of the mouth, under the lower eyelid areas if needed due to a hollow appearance, and anywhere a filling effect can be beneficial in improving overall appearance. The downtime after the procedure is a few days to a week, depending on what needs to be done. And the discomfort is minimal. Even the buttocks area can be enhanced by fat transfer, to improve the contour changes also associated with time.
The "3-D" Lift can be done alone or along with other rejuvenation options such as mini-face tucks, C02 laser for wrinkles, etc., depending on each person's unique needs. Learning about all the options available is important in deciding what may be best for you to help you attain the goals you desire no matter how modest or significant in terms of rejuvenation. It is our philosophy to help you re-acquire a more refreshed or enhanced appearance while still maintaining your own unique identity and natural look.
