I had a rhinoplasty a couple of years ago. For about a year afterward, my face was swollen. My skin looked tighter and younger. Friends and family thought I looked ten years younger. What causes this? Did the tissues of my skin swell? Is there a way to reproduce this effect without going through surgery?
Answer: Volume loss It sounds like the swelling caused by your rhinoplasty filled out the volume loss you've experienced with age. You can have this again with fillers, which can also replace volume loss.

Answer: LaseMD, chemical peels, Clear and brilliant, and other resurfacing lasers can help rejuvenate the skin Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Restore volume to look younger With ageing, we lose certain volumes in our face as pockets of fats become smaller and migrate south, thanks to gravity, causing us to lose the youthful facial configuration characterised by high cheek "bones" and prominence.I guess what happened after your surgery corrected some of that.In addition, our skin also changes with time, loosing elasticity, giving rise to laxity and wrinkles.To reverse some these effects of ageing, the treatment plan would consist of restoring lost facial volumes (mid-face/cheeks, temples, chin/jawline) with filters or fats. If skin laxity is not severe, then good results can be achieved without surgery, but the effect would be incomplete if the complexion is not rejuvenated as well. Skin rejuvenation should include retinol skin care and robust sun protecting, with our without add on treatments like laser and light therapies.

Answer: Plumping Your Face to look Younger
These days, there are so many options for dermal fillers that can add volume to your face and help you look younger. Some surgeons use a combination of injectables and fillers and call it a “liquid facelift.” Since every patient responds differently, you might have to experiment a little to see which works best for you. The beauty of fillers is that they’re only temporary, so if one wears off a little faster than you’d like, you can try a different product on the next round. Fillers can be used to fill in nasolabial lines and deeper wrinkles or facial scars. Some fillers can be used to enhance the cheeks, or facial implants can be used for a permanent solution.

Answer: Sculptra is your answer
Sculptra is the best way to re-volumize your face - it basically adds the volume back that you have lost with age. For optimal results you will need a few treatments. Most doctors charge around $1,000 per vial and you will probably need 1-3 vials. Be sure to visit an expert injector as Sculptra cannot be removed once it is injected.
