RESTORING VOLUME TO THE FACE CAN ELIMINATE A DECADE OF AGING
>Dr. Jeffrey R. Raval, facial plastic surgeon, uses injectables to perform the one-hour facelift
DENVER, CO—The loss of volume in the face is one of the inevitable changes our bodies and especially our faces undergo as we age. Later in life our bodies manufacture less natural collagen, the skin loses its elasticity, jowls begin to droop and creases and wrinkles deepen.
Lately, surgeons like Dr. Jeffrey Raval, a facial plastic surgeon in Denver’s Cherry Creek North, have discovered that injecting specific amounts of Restylane®, Juvederm® or Hylaform into specific fat buttress regions of the face can restore youthful beauty, vitality and attractiveness. This volumetric replacement of soft tissue that has been lost with age is called the VolumaLift™ and results in the skin looking as if it has been lifted and plumped. The typical VolumaLift™ procedure can be done in as little as one hour.
Dr. Raval, a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon often recommends that the VolumaLift be companioned with a FotoFacial® or photorejuvenation and Botox® injections for best results.
“We’re seeing increasing numbers of patients opt for a series of non-invasive or minimally-invasive treatments versus full-blown facelifts,” explains Dr. Raval, who specializes in surgery of the head and neck. “Often that’s because of demanding schedules that preclude long recuperative periods and just as often it’s a preference on the patient’s part to avoid general anesthesia and major surgery when it’s not yet absolutely required in order to regain healthy, youthful results.
“Imagine looking this much younger in just one hour without having any downtime,” adds Dr. Raval. “The innovations in medical science and the improvements in technology are making extraordinary leaps in cosmetic rejuvenation and as well allowing patients the kinds of options they find advantageous.”
