Many people turn to plastic surgery to correct their cosmetic concerns. After
all, these procedures can remove excess fat, tighten loose skin, add
flattering definition, and achieve other aesthetic goals. However, the cost,
discomfort, and recovery aren’t for everyone.
Here are some highly effective
non-surgical alternatives to popular plastic surgery procedures, including:
Facelift: A facelift is a popular way to reverse the
visible signs of aging. However, a non-surgicalfacelift
using Thermage® or Ultherapy® can also create a more youthful appearance.
These services lift and tighten loose, saggy, and wrinkled skin. Best of
all, you can choose to have them performed on your face and neck for the
most comprehensive results.
Submental liposuction: Excess fat on the lower face is a
common concern. Often referred to as a double chin, submental fat can
accumulate even if you eat well and exercise regularly. Fortunately,
Kybella® injections can be used in place of liposuction to eliminate
stubborn fat cells and reveal a slimmer jawline. However, they can’t treat
very large pockets of extra fat.
Upper blepharoplasty: Your eyelids are one of the first
areas to wrinkle and droop with age. Rather than having an upper
blepharoplasty, consider Thermage® FLX. Powered by radiofrequency energy
that gently warms the area to increase collagen production, Thermage FLX can
tighten your skin without incisions.
Lower blepharoplasty: Lower blepharoplasty isn’t the only
way to refresh your under-eyes. Tear trough fillers are a good alternative
that can camouflage various concerns. Skillfully placed fillers can soften
the appearance of hollows and bags. It’s important to seek out an
experienced provider for this delicate treatment area.
Eyebrow lift: Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to
stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin. When administered to
the upper face, Ultherapy can elevate low eyebrows.
Rhinoplasty: A liquid nose job uses fillers to temporarily
mimic the results of nose surgery. However, a liquid nose job has
limitations and should mainly be used to soften a dorsal nasal hump and to
raise the tip. Dr. Shaun Patel doesn’t perform liquid nose jobs on patients
with prior rhinoplasty since the vascular anatomy may be distorted, and
there is a higher risk of complications.
Tummy tuck: Tummy tuck surgery is a common way to address
loose skin after pregnancy and significant weight loss. Fortunately, a
combination of Sculptra® Aesthetic, Thermage, and topical skincare can
improve abdominal skin laxity in its place. It’s important to keep in mind
that non-surgical services can’t repair separated or torn abdominal muscles.
Scar revision: Surgical scar revision removes excess scar
tissue and repositions the incision. If you want to avoid this procedure,
you can still get good results from laser treatments.
