Facial rejuvenation treatments
Dr Beldholm offers facial surgery to address signs of ageing.
Getting older, of course, can impact our appearance. While ageing can make us appear more distinguished and sophisticated, it can also make us appear tired and sometimes even older than we are. Genetics and lifestyle can also impact how we age, for good or bad.
A good diet and regular exercise can help slow the ageing process to some degree, but it is certainly not a cure for eliminating the nuisances typically associated with getting older. As time passes, many individuals will begin to experience the following physical changes in his or her appearance:
- Droopy eyelids
- Hollow or saggy cheeks
- Sagging neck
- Laugh lines around the eyes
- Sagging jawline
- Thin, wrinkled lips
Facial surgeries offered by Dr Beldholm
Your favourite anti-wrinkle cream will only keep fine lines at bay for so long. Beware of products that make those claims. As the saying goes, “if it’s too good to be true, then it probably is.”
Dr Beldholm is pleased to offer a range of procedures to address signs of ageing such as deep wrinkles and sagging skin. For the right candidates, facial rejuvenation surgery offers a more dramatic result than expensive face creams.
Upper eyelid surgery
This procedure can correct droopy eyelids that can impair a patient’s vision. The upper eyelid can be corrected through an incision within the natural crease on the eyelid. This allows for removal or repositioning of fat deposits, tightening of muscles and removal of excess skin.
Facelift surgery
This procedure reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles and other obvious signs of ageing, with the goal of improving the overall appearance of the face and jaw. However, not all facelifts are created equal. There are several types that Dr Beldholm performs. They include:
Mini facelift
This procedure addresses wrinkles and lax skin on the lower third of the face using small incisions placed around the ears. It also defines the chin by removing excess tissue and artfully tightening the remaining skin.
Full facelift
This procedure tightens loose skin on the neck and jawline, smooths deep wrinkles and uplifts the corners of the mouth.
Extended facelift
For patients with advanced facial ageing, extended facelifts can deliver the most dramatic result. This procedure is designed to treat severe wrinkles and correct a sagging neck and jawline.
MACS facelift
MACS is an acronym for “Minimal Access Cranial Suspension.” This procedure primarily targets the underlying muscular structures of the face and is ideal for those with limited facial sagging and good skin tone. This surgery is less invasive than other types of facelifts and the scar tends to be smaller.
Neck lift surgery
This procedure improves the appearance of the neck by tightening the skin and platysma muscle. It also enhances the jawline and creates a smoother, slimmer neck profile.
VASER neck liposuction
This procedure eliminates that pesky double chin and defines the jawline. Unlike aggressive traditional liposuction, Dr Beldholm uses VASER technology. VASER emits ultrasound energy to liquefy the fat, which is then removed through a micro-cannula.
