Improving and Rejuvenating
Rebalancing Features
In Western society, our faces are the only exposed part of our body throughout the entire year. Sometimes we have features that are disproportionate or that have been injured. Aesthetic surgery can help to balance the relative proportion of facial features and lessen the visual impact of old injuries.
Facial Rejuvenation
With advancing years, the soft tissues of the brow, face and neck sag creating shadows and folds – we now know that the catalyst behind this process is loss of underlying fat volume. This process can happen in a more accelerated way in individuals with certain bone structures, skin and collagen subtypes. Additionally, our skin thins and loses collagen and elastin content producing crepiness, lines and wrinkles. With so much going on, in order to achieve the best, most natural looking and sustained result, a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation must be taken.
Our team of consultant plastic surgeons at Wood MediSpa are able to advise you on the particular combination of facial rejuvenation options that will work best for you – from laser skin resurfacing and non-surgical tweaks, through to comprehensive rejuvenation packages.
If photo-ageing is your concern, Wood MediSpa have a full range of fractional and ablative erbium and CO2 resurfacing lasers able to treat lines and wrinkles and retighten the skin. If tissues are drooping, the Deep Plane Facelift is the procedure of choice. If volume loss is the concern, then restoration of contours with fat or facial implants is essential. Usually a combination of these approaches enables the most comprehensive approach. The precise combination of these options is why you need a highly experienced surgeon to formulate a bespoke package based on the structural anatomy of your face and your desired outcome.
Holistic Approach
This normally starts with non-surgical treatments usually delivered by injection in the form of neurotoxin and/or fillers. Skincare using Vitamin A ‘retin’ derivatives improves the quality of the skin and can also boost the results of a chemical peel. Chemical peels and lasering can help with pigmentation, skin tightness, lines and wrinkles. Conventional lifting procedures (face/brow/neck) are a sine qua non for achieving global rejuvenation. For best results lifting is often combined with carefully selected facial implants which predictably restore volume in the mid-face and lost projection in the chin if required. Injected fat cells (fat transfer) is also an excellent option for deep volume restoration in areas of the face where implants cannot be used (around the eye, the corner of the mouth and lips).
