Facelift
You may notice that your face has changed gradually throughout the years and often wondered how to stop the aging process and restore your looks. On some people, the most visible signs of aging are most noticeable on the face and may not reflect the way you feel about yourself or want to represent yourself. A facelift (also called a rhytidectomy) smoothes the loose skin on your face and neck, tightens the underlying tissues and removes excess fat. As a result, your face will appear firmer, fresher and more youthful. People who are good candidates for a facelift often complain about the loss of a well-defined jawline, hanging jowls, deep wrinkles in the cheeks, sagging skin near the cheekbones, a deep line the runs from the corner of your nose to the corner near your mouth or loose skin and excess fatty tissue in the chin and neck area. The goal of a good facelift is to make your face appear fresher, better, more rested and natural looking. A good facelift should not change your appearance and make you different, it should just make you look better. To find out if a facelift will improve your looks, call our office to make an appointment.

Browlift/Forehead lift
A browlift (also known as a forehead lift) is a procedure that restores a more youthful, natural and refreshed appearance to the upper face and eye area. The procedure corrects the drooping brows thereby improving the horizontal lines and furrows on the forehead. These lines often make a person appear angry, sad or tired. When the brow is lifted, the eye area becomes more open and refreshed appearing. The browlift can be performed with an endoscope to allow for minimal incisions. A browlift can be performed with other procedures at the same time, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery. To learn more about browlifts and if it can help you, call us today.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid surgery)
The eye area is considered by many to be the most expressive area of the face. When your eyes are bright and alert, you appear energized and well rested. But, if you have puffiness or drooping skin around the eyes, people may assume that your are fatigued, angry, unhappy, tired, sad, or older than your really are. Some people tend to show early signs of aging around the eyes first and the rest of their face may not “match”. Blepharoplasty (also known as eyelid surgery) removes the excess fat and/or drooping skin that is around the eye area. After surgery, you will appear well rested, more alert and fresher. In some cases, the surgery can even improve vision that is impaired by sagging upper eyelids. Blepharoplasty surgery can be done in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures. Make an appointment today to find out if you are a good candidate for eyelid surgery.

Botox
Botox is a great way to rejuvenate certain parts of the face quickly and relatively painlessly. Wrinkles on the face-such as crow’s feet, frown lines, eye wrinkles and forehead lines can be greatly diminished with this simple procedure. Certain people have very expressive areas on the face and they are more likely to develop wrinkles. Botox is a purified protein that can specifically paralyze injected muscles. With small relatively painless injections that are done in the office, the muscles that cause us to have wrinkles are relaxed and the wrinkle then disappears. The added benefit of relaxed muscle results in smoother and less wrinkled skin.

In addition, a certain amount of eyebrow shaping can be accomplished with the correct and proper use of Botox. Women usually prefer the arch of the eyebrow to be higher on the outside than on the inside of the brow. If Botox is injected properly, this can be accomplished. To find out if Dr. Yee can eliminate the wrinkles and shape your brows, call today and make an appointment.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peeling is designed to improve the appearance of skin by peeling away the top layers. It is an excellent way to refresh and rejuvenate wrinkled, spotted, uneven, or otherwise aged skin. A special chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove damaged outer layers and expose underlying fresh, smooth, unblemished skin. The peel can involve the entire face or just a specific area such as the forehead, eyelids, cheeks, or mouth. A variety of peels (i.e. superficial, medium-depth, and deep) can be performed. To learn more about chemical peels, please contact Dr. Yee today.

Laser Rejuvenation
Are you looking for a safe and quick way to get rid of your uneven complexion, fine to medium wrinkles, or irregular pigmentation? Laser rejuvenation is an effective solution for improving many skin problems, often in a dramatic fashion. The procedure involves using a highly focused beam of energy on the skin. After the energy is absorbed by the skin, the outer layer is removed to a depth necessary to diminish or remove the undesirable skin appearance. The entire process is completed in one day. For more information about laser rejuvenation, contact Dr. Yee today.

Injectibles:
Injections of a variety of soft tissue fillers, including your own fat, can fill out depressed areas of your face, minimize the nasolabial folds next to the mouth, smooth hollows under the eyes. Fat injections are an extremely quick way to soften and remove the natural wrinkles between the eyes (frown lines), around your mouth and nose (nasolabial folds), or at the base of the nose (glabellar frown lines). Injections can also be helpful for those seeking fuller, lusher lips. Please contact Dr. Yee today for more information on how fat injections can help you improve your appearance -- naturally and safely.

Lip Augmentation:
Full and luscious lips can be so alluring. Unfortunately, many of us are born with thin and narrow lips or aging can cause our lips to become less full. With collagen, the size and fullness of our lips can be easily - and temporarily - transformed. Injections help pump up lips and better define their edges. They also reduce the appearance of wrinkles that develop around the mouth. Please contact Dr. Yee today for more information on how injections can augment your lips and improve the appearance of your mouth.
