Face Rejuvenation
By Alfred Sofer
Facial Surgery to achieve facial rejuvenation has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. Advancements in facial surgery, including, face lifts, eye lid surgery, brow lift and ear pinning, has enabled plastic surgeons an even greater ability to “turn the clock back” on aging. New techniques utilizing botox, facial filler injections, and laser resurfacing have become prominent choice among many men and women seeking solid solutions to refresh and enhance their appearance.
At the Plastic Surgery Center of Fairfield, Dr. Alfred Sofer’s facial surgery for rejuvenation methods include:
- Choices in major permanent and long-term plastic surgery.
- Choices in less invasive, mid-range surgical procedures.
- Choices in non-surgical injections and laser skin resurfacing treatments.
Signs of aging may be more visible on the face than any other area of the body .
Factors that may accelerate facial aging:
- Exposure to sun, wind, excessive heat and cold.
- Chemical and biological pollution.
- Hormonal changes, depleted collagen production, thinning of the skin due to free radical damage, facial bone shifting, and the loosening of facial ligaments.
- Improper daily habits in terms of skin care, diet, exercise, and cigarette smoking.
- Medical conditions such as skin disorders, acne, and chicken pox, which produce scarring.
- Miscellaneous physiological functions can produce freckling and pigmentation spots, dry spots, broken capillaries, and hyper pigmentation from hormonal changes (which may be induced by pregnancy or birth control medications).
- Genetics.
Facial rejuvenation can mean different things to different people. There are non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments and procedures used to improve slight facial imperfections. There are also plastic surgery procedures that can dramatically improve the appearance of the face. Dr. Sofer is an expert at identifying the optimum approach, sometimes utilizing a combination of procedures and treatments, for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation strategy specific to each individual case.
We offer the New VECTRA 3D imaging System to help develop a comprehensive plan that is specifically designed between Dr. Alfred Sofer and his patients.
