There are several treatments that can help. One option is an injection however sometimes surgery is needed. Improving the look of the eyelids can have many self esteem benefits. The eyelids are one of the first things you see in the mirror and it can change your whole outlook for the day to see a refreshed you. The surgery is quick and the recovery is too. I really love performing blepharoplasty and rejuvenating the eyelids. Even if surgery is not needed, I like to see the improvement that patients get from injections or laser treatments.

He is very happy. It is surprising to find that over 15 percent of our patietns are men. Cosmetic surgery is not just for women. We have many male patients who are pleased with both nonsurgical wrinkle correction and surgical correction of both wrinkles and body contouring issues.

The treatment usually lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes and does not require anesthesia, incisions or any significant downtime after treatment. It is perfect for woman and men who are looking to get rid of the tired look and achieve a rejuvenated appearance.

How Does Liquid Facelift Work?

To understand the benefits of a liquid facelift, it is important to examine the structure of the facial muscles. The face has two types of muscles, depressors (downward pulling) and levators (upward pulling) muscles. During the natural aging process, the face starts to lose its natural collagen and elastin, and the depressor muscles start to pull the face down. To counteract this effect, Dr. Bull administers Botox in the depressor muscles, causing them to relax and allowing the upward-pulling muscles to naturally lift the face. With a liquid facelift, Dr. Bull supplements the remarkable results of Botox with additional dermal fillers to help the skin regenerate its own natural collagen, thus giving it more volume. After undergoing a liquid facelift with Dr. Bull, patients will notice reduced wrinkles, creases and folds, and appear more energetic and rested.
Recovery

Dr. Bull practices advanced injection techniques during a liquid facelift, minimizing swelling and bruising and encouraging faster recovery periods. Following the procedure, patients may experience some redness, bruising and swelling at the injection site. Dr. Bull advises patients to rest one or two days after the procedure to ensure healthy recovery periods.

Currently Dr Bull is running a Liquid Facelift special that includes Botox, Juvederm and Radiesse.
