The suture suspension lift most likely refers to a midface lift and there are many ways to do this. You can do it in a minimally invasive way through incisions in the scalp by the temple area. All is needed are very tiny incision near your nasolabial folds to allow the sutures to pull up the middle part of the face. Data on how long this lasts is not sufficient. Most surgeons believe that effect is not as long lasting as other procedures. A midface lift that is done traditionally can be done through incisions in the lower eyelid. This requires the middle part of the face to be released from the bone and then suspended to more superior structures. This can help the nasolabial folds and elevate the midface cheek fat. The results from this, in my opinion, are modest. The reason for this is that the midface issue is really mostly a problem of volume. Fat injections placed in the midface is a good option but not entirely perfect. Implants can give the sufficient volume that is needed to replace what is lost in the midface area. But you have to feel comfortable with implants in your face. The deep plane smas lift is very difficult to do and if you go to someone that doesn’t have a lot of experience with this it could be dangerous. When done correctly, you can get a lot of release and pull on the nasolabial fold area and this can lift the midface in a more lateral and superior direction then just superior. Most surgeons believe that the deep plane facelift will last longer than any suture only facelift 2-5 vs 8-10 year or more respectively for the suture lifts vs the deep plane. These numbers are a pure estimation though but are somewhat supported by scientific review.
I refined an amazing volumizing procedure called “the YoungLift”. This is an innovative technique that volumizes your face to bring out the younger and natural you without looking like you had something done. This is not a facelift and requires no incisions. Only pinpoint puncture sites are used and these heal imperceptibly. The YoungLift can be done without general anesthesia and without drains, and large bandages. You also have a lot less downtime and discomfort compared with traditional facelift procedures. I employ the very best techniques from around the world into one volumizing procedure and he uses his internationally acclaimed understanding of facial beauty to create the youthful volume you once had. The YoungLift techniques can help with filling up the lips as well. You can great results with fat injections in the lips.

Fat Transferin the neck can work if done right. The key would be to have a result where the fat survives after being transferred into the neck. Once the fat survives past a year, it should stay in the area that it was implanted for many years. Some surgeons have been able to maintain augmentation from fat from 10-15 years. Lumpiness can be a problem but if the surgeon respects how to place the fat this becomes less of an issue. When I graft fat into the face and neck, whenever I’m superficial I always use finer cannulas to transfer the fat. I also lay the fat down as evenly as possible so that each fat transfer aliquot is placed as close as possible to the ones placed next to it. When the fat is injected into the deeper layers, you have more flexibility and less margin for error when you use larger cannulas that deliver larger fat parcels. Fat injections in the neck may not be perfect but one can strive to perfect this. There may not be a better way to volumize the neck. Ultimately, I think surgeons and scientists are going to figure out how to make fat survive better and this will be the main way that surgeons will volumize the face.

The tear trough is a tough area to treat through eye lifts / blepharoplasty procedures. This area is located between the nose and the lower eyelid and is situated not above the bone as most people believe but above the soft tissue of the eye socket and eyelid. People have tried repositioning of the eye socket fat into that area through a blepharoplasty / eyelift procedure. This can work but has been shown to lead to eye position abnormalities and problems with dry eyes, etc. Fat Transfercan work in this area and may be the most natural way to rejuvenate this area. It does have some issues related to survival of the fat. But is the fat survives past a year it will likely stay in the area for many years, sometimes 10-15 years. Fat grafting requires a lot of skill and knowledge of fat survival techniques. Facial Fillers can fill up the volume loss that has lead to the tear trough appearance and I’ve done that many times and have a lot of patients that get this done. The key is being able to fill up the area without leading to bumps and ridges. This requires some skill and with a surgeon’s experience it can be done to look very nice and satisy your clients. Fillers can look not as natural as fat, it can lead to a translucent type of appearance and some dark appearance of the filler within the skin. But, in general >95% or more patients are very, very happy that they had filler placed to treat the tear trough area. Laser Resurfacing can create a layer of collagen underneath the eyelid skin to camouflage the dark appearance of the muscle underneath the skin. It can also tighten the skin and reduce the unwanted wrinkles in the lower eyelid. However, lasers will not replace the volume that is lossed with aging around the lower eyelid area. This is where fillers and fat injections come into play.

This a question someone asked me on line about whether Facial Fillers completely removed the nasolabial folds because she hoped that some of it remains so that she can still smile:
With augmentation with Juverderm, the nasolabial folds will be reduced but they will not completely go away. When you smile the nasolabial folds will deepen with the action of the muscles but will not be totally gone with juvederm injections. Also juverderm will only last around a year or less. This is a temporary treatment. Also if you don’t like the augmentation or what was done there is an enzyme injection that can be administered that will take away some of the juvederm if you desire. Experience is important to make sure that too little or too much is given with these injections.

Building up the cheek can be done through multiple different means. This can be done with various fillers including restylane, juverderm, more radiesse, fat injections, or facial implants. Either of these options have benefits and drawbacks. The fillers are temporary and you will need reaugmentation in 6 months to a year. Facial implants will last essentially forever but need to be done in the exact way and augment your cheek in the best way. When you place Cheek Plastic Surgery into the cheek area, sometimes the cheek can be fixed on the cheek bone with metal screws and if there is less than ideal augmentation more or less then you can tailor the augmentation through different means. If you have too much augmentation, you can tailor the cheek implant with burrs if the cheek implant is solidly fixed with the screw. If it is not big enough you can always place a bigger implant or fix more silicone onto the existing implant with sutures. The key with silicone or other implants is to have the implant fixed so its stable, not moving and not collecting fluid between it and the bone. These are things that can prevent infection and rejection. Silicone is probably the safest and most stable and non reactive implant that you can place. Other implants create more inflammation and have a higher incidence of rejection and infection.
Fat injections are another way of building up the cheek. The survival of fat is variable but if the fat survives after the first 6 months to a year the fat will likely survive for years.

Rhinoplasty would be something that I would do first on the same day and follow up that with fat grafting. They can be done concurrently as long as you are ready for the extra recovery with all of those procedures. They are in different areas and will have a less of an effect on each other. Brow Lifting is another option to rejuvenate your eyes. But all you may need is fat grafting to subtly lift your eyes in a natural way and to rejuvenate both your upper and lower eyelids for the most natural and youthful effects. You should see my before and afters to see what I mean.

Both of those options can help. I think Restylane would be a better alternative to replace the volume that you have lost in the lower eyelid and cheek area. That is essentially what has happened — a loss of volume. The only thing is that restylane will last only 6-9 months. Fat repositioning can help the condition but there are limitations. It can leave you looking hollow and it can impact the position of your eyelids and can have complications.
I don’t prefer the fat repositioning procedure. I think volumizing the area is the best way to rejuvenate the face and the lower eyelid area. It can give you the most naturally looking results. Fat transfer to this area is the best if done right.

Restylane will last about 6-9 months but can improve this area. Fat injections can last 8-10 or more years if the fat survives after the first year. You are on the right track though. You need volume in this area and that’s the best way to improve this area. One thing to realize is that restylane will go away and can also be taken out earlier if you wish through enzyme injections. This can be reassuring.
Fat injections are more permanent and is a little harder to get rid of if you don’t like the volume but can be done through different special procedures. In my opinion, fat injections / transfer leads to the most natural results.

Facial Fillers is generally avoided in the lips due to the bumps and nodules that it can create. Restylane is the best in the lips. Juvederm can also be used in the lips as well. Both of these products have a limited longevity and can last from 6 months to a year. Fat injections are an option in the lips but take a lot of experience and knowledge of lip anatomy and dynamics to create the best result.
Lip Augmentation, when done well, can last years. But you want to go to a surgeon that has experience doing these in the lips. The length of time fat lasts is tightly related to the technique that is being used. You have to traumatize the fat as little as possible and when you place the fat it has to be layered in small amounts so that the fat can survive and find its own blood supply and environment.

There are many types of microdermabrasion machines out there and they vary in terms of how much pressure is created. You can get a superficial peel from the most aggressive types and this can help with fine wrinkles. Again, mulitple treatments may be required to improve there appearance. Fractional resurfacing can help the vertical wrinkles. Volumizing can also help.
When you age, you lose volume in all areas of your face and your chin is no different. Bringing more volume into your chin may be partially the answer to this as well. That is why I developed the “the YoungLift”which is a revolutionary way to bring volume back into the face for a younger and natural look. Other ways to treat wrinkles are through fillers, CO2 resurfacing, chemical peels, and dermabrasion.
