Question: I feel I am looking older and tired; I do not want a face lift, what are my options?

Answer: Of course it is difficult to address your personal situation without a one on one consultation. In general as we age our skin starts to sag and we loose fat (fat adiposity). As skin sags accompanied with the daily stressors and free radicals we start to see fine lines and wrinkles which can turn into deeper depressions without preventative measures.

We normally see fine lines appearing in the forehead area, glabella area (between the eyes) and crows feet. These areas can typically be treated preventatively with BOTOX Cosmetic to prevent further lines and deeper depressions. If the area is left unattended the fine lines can become a wrinkle and a deeper depression which will require further attention. A dermal filler may be needed to fully address and correct the concern.

To address fat loss, normally occurring under the eyes, cheeks, nasiolabial and marinette lines, dermal filler can be discussed in detail. There are several fillers which will be discussed during consultation to determine your specific needs. Please refer to the table below for reference.

One important reminder is: upkeep and prevention along with a healthy diet and a skin care regiment, is also helpful. You can discuss all of these items during your consultation with Dr. Bootstaylor and her staff.
