Every decade of your life calls for a unique set of treatments to achieve or maintain a youthful appearance. The visible aging process begins in your 30s, and it’s never too early to start addressing it.
At The Art of Plastic Surgery Med Spa, our team of elite injectors and medical aestheticians are highly trained to view aging as a complex and dynamic process. Guided by the expertise of Dr. Wiener, we adopt a comprehensive approach to facial aging. Our treatments effectively address photo damage, wrinkle development, soft tissue redistribution, and bone remodeling.
The normal course of aging is a multifaceted 3-dimensional process that affects all layers of facial anatomy. As we age, we experience weakening and thinning of the skin, fat pad atrophy and repositioning, loss of muscle tone and thickness, and bone loss. These changes disrupt the harmonious balance of our youthful features, impacting both our physical attractiveness and our self-esteem.
During a complimentary consultation, The Art of Plastic Surgery team conducts an in-depth analysis of your aging stage. We carefully evaluate each of the main layers of your facial anatomy to provide personalized treatment recommendations.
Join us at The Art of Plastic Surgery Med Spa and embark on a journey to restore and maintain your youthful appearance, enhancing your natural beauty and boosting your confidence at every stage of life.
At The Art of Plastic Surgery Med Spa, led by the esteemed Dr. Gregory A. Wiener, M.D., F.A.C.S., we understand that aging is a complex journey influenced by both internal genetic factors and external environmental elements. Our expertise allows us to address the multifaceted nature of aging, offering specialized treatments for various stages.
Aging Skin
A multitude of factors impact skin aging, both internal (genetic) and external (environmental). Slowly developing fine wrinkles and some expression lines are attributed to internal aging. External aging presents the development of more harsh wrinkles, rough texture, and skin dryness. The skin’s strength lies in its collagen layer, elasticity is in levels of elastin, and skin hydration depends on the levels of glycosaminoglycans. At around age 40, we start seeing a major decline in skin thickness, elasticity, and hydration.
Aging Muscle
The aging process in muscles is typically visible in the development of dynamic wrinkles, affecting both volume and contour. Most visibly, this process presents itself in the perioral (around the mouth) and periorbital (around the eye) regions.
Aging Fat Pads
Fat pad loss and repositioning are visible in the periorbital, midface, and lower jaw areas. Hollowing of the cheeks, flattening of the facial angles, and hollowing of the temples are all signs of fat loss, while fat pad repositioning is mainly seen in the superficial layers of the jowl and lateral nasolabial folds.
Aging Bone
Bone provides structure and support to facial soft tissue. Like all aging tissue, our bones recede and remodel with age, resulting in repositioning and loss of overlaying tissue. Loss of jaw angle, especially in women, also leads to changes in chin projection. In our 30s, we start seeing forehead flattening (loss of support causing a nasal tip droop, and loss of brow support), flattening and hollowing of the cheeks (orbital rims becoming bony and tear troughs deepening), deepening of the nasolabial groove, and lengthening of the upper lip area.
