Unfortunately, the first areas to show physical signs of aging tend to be the most visible features: the face and neck.<\/p>\n<p>When this happens, it can make you feel self-conscious about the way that you look and lead you to seek out options for facial rejuvenation. At Princeton Plastic Surgeons, we can help to <strong>restore your natural beauty<\/strong> and <strong>build up your positive self-image.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Injectables and Fillers<\/h2>\n<p>One effective way to impart a more youthful look is by receiving non-surgical, non-invasive injectables. There are a handful of anti-aging injectable treatments on the market today, but Botox is hands down the most popular of the choices. In fact, last year alone there were more than 3 million Botox treatments performed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"highlight\">By using a Botulinum toxin, this FDA-approved treatment successfully reduces the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. When injected, the solution works by stopping the muscle contractions that cause these dynamic wrinkles to appear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\"><\/div>\n<p>Dermal fillers, such as Restylane and Radiesse, are another great way to <strong>smooth out wrinkles<\/strong> and <strong>restore facial volume.<\/strong> While fillers won\u2019t permanently remove your lines and wrinkles, they are a great option for reducing their overall appearance.<\/p>\n<p>If your aesthetic concerns are with the nasolabial folds that form between your nose and mouth, you\u2019ll find the best results with the Restylane filler. It can also be <strong>used to treat marionette lines,<\/strong> which extend between the corners of the mouth and jawline, and even vertical lip lines.<\/p>\n<p>Radiesse is another filler offered at our practice, and is well-liked for its ability <strong>add instant volume to the face.<\/strong> This hydroxylapatite-based filler can correct moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and even <strong>restore a more youthful appearance<\/strong> to the backs of the hands.<\/p>\n<p>We offer a wide variety of both injectables and dermal fillers, so you can be sure your individual needs will be met and exceeded.<\/p>\n<h2>Lifestyle Changes<\/h2>\n<p>While aging is an inevitable part of life, many people help this process along with their bad habits. Sure, things like smoking, eating unhealthy and not exercising can play a big role in how you look over the years. But there are other factors that play a role in your aging skin, too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box half-left\">\n<p>It\u2019s never too late to start making changes to your health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>While maybe not as instant as receiving injectables or fillers, small lifestyle changes can help to successfully turn back the clock on your aging skin. Here are a handful of <strong>rituals<\/strong> that can create a more refreshed, <strong>youthful-looking appearance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Incorporate a daily skincare regimen (wash, exfoliate and moisturize)<\/li>\n<li>Actively apply sunscreen during time spent outdoors<\/li>\n<li>Keep your skin hydrated\u2014inside and out\u2014by drinking water and applying lotion<\/li>\n<li>Eat nutritious foods<\/li>\n<li>Keep moving, even with light activities like walking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"header-block\">When Surgery is the Best Option<\/h2>\n<div class=\"box header\">\n<p>We get it\u2014nobody wants to undergo surgery. But if your facial wrinkles and volume loss have resulted in dramatic skin laxity and sunken features, facial remodeling may be your best bet.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hamawy and his qualified team have many years of experience in plastic surgery and can effectively restore your unique facial concerns. At Princeton Plastic Surgeons, we offer a handful of procedures that can enhance your appearance, but considering which option is right for you will depend on your individual goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to claim your independence from your aging appearance, some of our most popular procedures include:<\/p>\n<h3>Facelift<\/h3>\n<p>This surgical procedure is a great option for those looking to lift their sagging cheeks and diminish excess fat beneath the chin. Also referred to as a rhytidectomy, a facelift can effectively <strong>eliminate the deep frown lines<\/strong> between the nose and mouth, <strong>restore lost volume<\/strong> and add life to your sunken facial areas.<\/p>\n<h3>Brow Lift<\/h3>\n<p>For those looking to address problem areas around the eyes and upper and forehead, a brow lift can be a great option. This procedure can effectively <strong>address drooping eyebrows and forehead lines<\/strong> that often create an angry, sad or tired appearance. Also referred to as a forehead lift, a brow lift can <strong>impart a more youthful, rested complexion<\/strong> and help to <strong>improve your overall self-esteem.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Neck Lift<\/h3>\n<p>Do you feel like your confidence has dipped due to the excess fat on your neck and chin? With a neck lift, we can remove or reposition that excess fat and skin to <strong>create a more slender-looking<\/strong> lower face and neck. Dr. Hamawy is extremely talented in performing this procedure, and can eliminate your \u201cturkey neck\u201d to <strong>reveal smoother neck contours<\/strong> in its place.<\/p>\n<h3>Eyelid Lift<\/h3>\n<p>There are a handful of benefits, both aesthetic and functional, to receiving an eyelift lift. This surgical procedure is a great way to <strong>restore youthfulness<\/strong> to your face by improving the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. Not only can Dr. Hamawy <strong>remove the drooping skin and dark circles<\/strong> beneath your eyes, but he can also help to <strong>restore vision<\/strong> that has been impaired by loose, saggy skin.<\/p>\n<h2>Find Your Independence<\/h2>\n<div class=\"box half-right\">\n<p>No matter your age, feeling confident in your own skin is a necessity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If your deep lines and sagging facial skin are keeping you from enjoying life to the fullest, it may be time to seek cosmetic enhancement.
