Tips to Help if You're Single Again and Want to Look Younger

This is a common theme among women (and men) who come to me for their aesthetic concerns. Many of my aesthetic patients are also my gyn patients so I have the opportunity to talk with them about a variety of concerns. Often, they find themselves back in the dating world and looking in the mirror and trying to see themselves as others do.

Some people have found themselves back in the job pool with the hard economic times and are in competition with younger candidates. This can be a daunting thought and they come to me looking for relatively inexpensive ways to appear younger and more vibrant. Simple rejuvenation procedures can give them the confidence they need.

A common complaint is the development of deep lines around the nose and mouth. These are referred to as nasolabial folds and can make the face appear aged. Many people mistakenly believe that the treatment for this is simply injecting filler products into the folds. Although this is often necessary as part of the treatment, it is not the primary "fix". The cause of these lines is often a loss of fat support in the face and especially the cheeks. The solution is to fill both these areas to give a natural appearance and to restore the youthful glow to the face.

Some people are born with naturally beautiful cheeks but many of are not, and those who are often lose them with age. There is hope.

What are common solutions to deep nasolabial folds and loss of facial volume?

1. Fat.
Fat transfer from one part of the body into the face. These results can be long lasting and one to three sessions are generally required.

2. Hylaronic acids.
Perlane is a good product to use in this case as it can add more volume than the other hyalronic acids. The results can be six months to 1 year.

3. Radiesse.
This is a product ideally suited to adding colume and contour to the cheeks. It is a particular favorite of mine. The result is a healthy looking, contoured appearance typical of more youthful cheeks. Radiesse may last as long as 1-1.5 years.
