Enhancing your appearance with soft tissue augmentation The visible signs of facial aging occur over time as a result of sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle. One of the earliest signs of aging is a loss of facial fullness and the development of wrinkles. Softening of these facial lines and the restoration of volume and fullness in the face often can be achieved non-surgically with injectable fillers. If you would like to restore facial contours, or reduce the appearance of lines and creases, injection therapy with soft tissue fillers may be right for you. Injectable fillers can: Plump thin lips Enhance shallow contours Soften facial creases and wrinkles Improve the appearance of recessed scars What it won't do: Soft tissue augmentation does not stop the aging process. If you wish to change the elements of your face, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eyelift may be the answer.  Non-surgical rejuvenation treatments such as injectable fillers cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a facelift becomes appropriate.

QUESTION:

What foods/supplements do you recommend 4 faster healing before/after surgery? Are any foods/ supplements off limits after surgery? (via RT @resultsandstyle on twitter)

We provide all surgery patients with herbal medication, called Arnica Montanum, which is known to reduce swelling and bruising.  Patients are asked to avoid “blood thinning” medication such as Motrin or Aspirin for two weeks prior to the surgery.
