How can I reverse the dramatically aging effect getting upper dentures has caused?

Aging certainly can occur or seem accelerated after dental extractions and dentures placement. The upper jaw bone can resorb in an accelerated manner decreasing the height of the face and causing the tissues to appear to be collapsed or sagging. 1.  I would first visit with a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon to assess the need for bone grafting and possible dental implants to help restore vertical height. 2.  Then I would visit with a general dentist or a prostatitis to create a quality set of dentures that further establish is your dentition and your lower facial height.3.  At that point if you're still displeased with your facial appearance, visit with the board-certified plastic surgeon for complete physical exam and consultation to discuss your concerns and to see if the fillers versus facelift would be an appropriate solution

It sounds as though you would benefit from implants and possibly bone grafting for both functional and aesthetic reasons. You may want to consider consulting with "clear choice" that does restorations in one day.

I am sorry about your negative experience with your dental procedure.Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or
any other website who proposes to tell you what to do without seeing  photosand  without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your
desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons
of each operative procedure would not be in your best surgery. I would suggest
that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board
of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are
comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
