Growing old gracefully is important to most of us. Over the years our bodies tend to lose some of their well-defined muscle structure and our skin loses the tone and fine appearance it once had.
Growing old gracefully is important to most of us. Over the years our bodies tend to lose some of their well-defined muscle structure and our skin loses the tone and fine appearance it once had. Loss of muscle mass, wrinkling, loss of skin elasticity and sagging and drooping skin can become very discouraging.
Often these changes cause feelings of inadequacy, depression and a poor self-image. This can result in more problematic physical and mental issues. But there are options available to you. Dr. Randall Weil, cosmetic surgeon of San Jose can help.
What can you do?
Include vitamin supplements, antioxidants and possibly hormone replacements to maintain healthy function. Establish an anti-aging routine of good foods, supplements and exercise to improve not only your health, but also to give you a more vital and youthful appearance.
If you still are not satisfied with your overall appearance, there are many surgical and non-surgical options available to you to help combat the visual effects of aging. Discussing all of your options with your surgeon will help both of you to determine which is the right method for you. Here are some treatments that you may choose from.
Surgical Options
- Blepharoplasty is a procedure to lift wrinkled and drooping eyelids above the eyes and to minimize or remove excess skin that causes bags under the eyes.
- Facelifts smooth wrinkled and sagging skin and tighten it to bring out finer, more youthful jaw and neck lines.
- Breast and body lift procedures counteract the loss of elasticity in body tissue and reverse the sagging effects of age.
- Liposuction involves removing fat from problem areas on the body such as thighs, buttocks, abdomen and upper arms. This works well for people who have already begun a good exercise routine, yet still have areas that due to age and genetic make-up, are still unsatisfactory in appearance.
- Abdominoplasty lifts and tightens the abdominal area and removes excess skin and fat while tightening the muscles underneath. The result is a tighter, flatter and younger looking tummy.
Non-surgical Treatment Options
- Chemical peels remove the dry and dull outer layers of skin using mild chemical solutions. The result exposes the softer, smoother skin underneath that has not been exposed to sun and other factors which speed up the aging process.
- Microdermabrasion involves removal of the surface layers of skin that have aged and dulled with time leaving a clearer, brighter and younger looking complexion.
- Laser skin treatments are available with a variety of options to lessen the visible effects of aging and wear on the facial skin.
- Botox is an injectable cosmetic treatment that softens and relaxes the skin to remove frown lines and crow’s feet and wrinkles. For more information on Botox, please visit this page. Facial Rejuvenation? Bringing Back Your Youthful Appearance
- Collagen injections restore a younger appearance by injecting collagen back into your features.
- Cosmetic fillers are available for treating skin blemishes like wrinkling. They can also fill in hollow areas around eyes and under the cheek bones.
As you can see, there are many options available to you that will help to improve your looks and revitalize your skin and overall appearance.
