As we age, our facial tissues sag and our once youthful facial fullness is lost. Facial rejuvenation can restore what nature and time have taken away. As an experienced Denver facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Slenkovich recognizes the fresh, healthy appearance of youth stems not from the skin, but from the underlying shape of the facial tissues. Advances in facial rejuvenation surgery aim to restore the younger form of the face and neck, restoring a natural, youthful, and refreshed appearance.
Sometimes the skin itself has also aged and can benefit from rejuvenation, in which case skin resurfacing or peeling may be recommended. Other adjunctive procedures, such as permanent fat grafting and removal of frown-line muscles, can add to sustained, long-term facial rejuvenation results. Each patient has different needs, and the surgery or combination of facial procedures that will produce the best and most lasting results varies from individual to individual. Dr. Slenkovich is opposed to the “one size fits all” approach to facelift surgeries and evaluates each patient in light of his or her desired outcomes, the underlying condition of the patient’s facial contours, and the wide range of surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures available today.
In addition, with the incredible advances in facial rejuvenation injectables (such as Botox®, Restylane, Radiesse, Juvederm, Sculptra, etc.), some of our patients discover that they don’t really need facial plastic surgery and that their more youthful appearance can be restored with less invasive facial procedures. A consultation with Dr. Slenkovich will cover your entire range of options, from minimally invasive injections to full facelift and fat grafting procedures, and together you will decide what is right for you.
