Is It Possible to Make a 30 Year Old Look in Her Mid Twenties Again?

I have noticed some hollowness under my eyes since I have turned thirty. My ear through is more visible and I have lost a lot of volume in my upper cheeks, they have started to "sag" a little. I was wondering if these are things that can be repaired. To fill up the tear through would it be best to use an implant or fillers? Can you move the muscles in my upper cheek back to their position as when I was younger? What procedure would be necessary? Is itpossible? I want to look fresh like when 25

Using Radiesse for Tear Troughs and Cheeks

Based on what you are describing, Radiesse is probably the best solution to fix these issues. Unlike many other forms of dermal fillers, Radiesse has the ability to offer structural support. It is made of calcium based microspheres in a gel. This calcium is able to provide structure, rather than filling in depleted volume. So it is quite versatile since it will conform to different tissues. Radiesse can be used for non surgical cheek lifts. And it is... more

Early Aging

A lot of things can be done. What is best depends on the problem and its cause. These are some of your options: fillers, off the shelf or fat injections. cheek implants a cheek lift even a face lift.

Flat sagging cheeks

Flat and saggy cheeks are usually best addressed with cheek implants. These implants are composed of silicone and are inserted through an intraoral incision just above the upper teeth and placed directly over the bone to lift the soft tissues. Tightening of cheek muscles is not necessary.

Facial aging

Without seeing pictures, I cannot determine what is needed. Based on the information you have given, it sounds like you could be a candidate for fat grafts and/or cheek implants. You should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) for an evaluation.

Fat Grafting for hollow facial areas

Structural fat grafting is a powerful tool for correcting one of the primary processes of facial aging: the gradual loss of facial soft tissue volume, which primarily represents the atrophy of facial fatty tissue. The importance of restoring facial fullness cannot be emphasized enough, for without it, very few facial cosmetic surgical procedures are truly rejuvenating. As we age the skeletal features of the face become more obvious, and create subtle visual clues that tell the observer 'this... more

Facial aging

You are describing the typical facial aging, loss of volume or deflation of the face. Drooping and loss of elasticity. All these changes can be reversed and rejuvenated. Fat transfer to the face where fat was lost. and a face lift to lift the structures and put them back where they belong. You need to understand the surgery, the risks, and cost then choose the right plastic surgeon with proper credentials and experience.

Is It Possible to Make a 30 Year Old Look in Her Mid Twenties Again?

Yes. These changes are possible. For most women in their 30s, injectable dermal fillers are the best option for cheek augmentation or filling in the tear trough. This is a non-surgical procedure and can be performed in the office. The results look natural and last about 9-12 months. Cheek and undereye injections are not for rookie injectors. Make sure that you consult with an experienced Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist for your injections. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen... more
