This can be a difficult area to treat.The cause of sagginess in this area is multifactorial. By treating this area we are defying gravity. The treatments will vary between patients Aging affects four layers 1.Skin-loses elasticity and collagen and does not support the area 2, Fat pads migrate downwards causing jowls and double chin. This makes the face look more square and older 3.Muscle hyperactivity of neck and jaw muscles 4.Bony resorption and dentition changes causing loss of support A combination of treatments can be used. 1.Antiwrinkle injections to all the depressor muscles 2.Dermal filler to jawline and chin using MD codes 3.Fat dissolving injections to double chin 4.skin tightening with energy or light based devices
I feel that aftercare post dermal fillers is of upmost importance . We recommend 1. No vigorous activity for 48 hours 2. No facials ,makeup or massages 3. No spas/saunas/hot yoga 4. Avoid dental work/invasive surgery for 1 month 5.Avoid fish oil,krill oil,garlic tablets and anti-inflammatories 6. Arnica tablets for bruising 7.Antibiotics/topical antibiotics 8.Antibacterial mouth wash 9.Review in 2 weeks or earlier if any concerns
Horizontal forehead lines are very common and are treated on a regular basis . Antiwrinkle injection (as mentioned above) is the gold standard for treatment . The lines are caused by regular contraction of the underlying frontalis muscle. With time this results in static lines. My approach is to treat these lines on a regular basis With regular treatments with Antiwrinkle injections the lines will diminish and the skin looks smoother and smoother. The patient looks fresher and younger after treatment Antiwrinkle injections are safe , effective and provide consistent proven results The above named product is also TGA approved for this area
