Facial Rejuvenation Options Available Near Tampa, FL

If you’d like to refresh your facial appearance, you might be wondering whether facelift surgery is necessary, or if nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments can address the signs of aging you’re concerned with. While a facelift will generally produce the most dramatic result, dermal fillers and botulinum injectables can also be very effective.

The optimal facial rejuvenation approach for you will depend on your needs, goals, and preferences. Dr. John Roach, the double board certified plastic and general surgeon who founded the Bayside Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery LLC near Tampa, Florida, can help you decide what approach makes the most sense for you.

Should You Consider a Facelift?

You may benefit from facelift surgery if you have jowls or loose, hanging skin on your cheeks, chin, or neck. There are several types of facelifts, but in general, the procedure involves reshaping the lower half of your face. If you’d like, a facelift can also be performed in conjunction with other procedures that target your eyelids, brows, or forehead.

After making incisions around your ears, Dr. Roach can reposition the muscles and fatty tissue in your face and neck, and then trim and tighten the overlying skin. A facelift can provide you with a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What About Nonsurgical Facial Rejuvenation Treatments?

You may benefit from nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments if your facial skin is relatively supple and elastic and, rather than addressing loose skin, you are interested in targeting wrinkles. Dermal fillers and botulinum injectables can soften fine lines on your forehead and around your eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips, but will have no effect on lax skin.

Injectable dermal fillers, such as Restylane and Radiesse, can plump up your skin and add definition and contour to specific areas of your face. Botulinum injectables, such as Botox and Dysport, can help reduce your facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them. While effective for their purpose, these nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments cannot produce the same result as facelift surgery. Additionally, they must be repeated over time to maintain the desired look.
