The 'Y' lift
A face lift only tightens loose skin; it does not replace lost volume from the face which is probably the most important component of facial ageing. It will not improve skin texture or tone either. Plastic surgeons have realised this as well and are increasingly using volumisation of the face in addition to skin tightening which if performed without volume restoration gives a tight but not a natural look. We prefer a natural look for our clients.
Most of us do not have time to recover from a surgical procedure and with recent advances in non-surgical treatments we can achieve very impressive results. Although Dr Gheyi is a qualified and trained surgeon he believes non-surgical treatments is the way forward.
The latest offering in the restylane range-Restylane Sub Q can lift your face in an instant. As a seconday lifting effect areas on lower face and nose to mouth lines appear less prominent. It is performed under local anaesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. It is an alternative to permanent cheek implants which can be problematic as they sometimes cause infection or move, creating asymmetry in the face. Although fat can be used to transfer into the face and add volume, deep filler is the only method available to achieve a similar result without the need for surgery.
Restylane Sub Q is the brand name for an injectable form of hyaluronic acid specially formulated for facial contouring. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar that is found in the connective tissue of our skin and along with collagen forms the building blocks of healthy tissues. As it is totally natural component of our skin, no allergy test is required. The result from the treatment is immediate and can last more than a year.
It is different from other fillers which are commonly uses to soften
lines and wrinkles. Restylane Sub Q is injected in a deeper plane to achieve
a lifting and filling effect on cheeks and chin.
