An increasing percentage of our patients choose from our portfolio of limited incision surgeries for facial rejuvenation. These surgeries include customized face lifts, cheek lifts, jaw border lifts, and neck lifts, as well as certain types of brow lifts and eyelid surgery. They can be carried out under local anesthesia in the comfort and privacy of the Whole Beauty Institute™ in Chicago and Winnetka.

For patients who require less extensive surgery we are able to offer a variety of short incision surgeries that target specific facial regions. These surgeries can be carried out under local anesthesia in both locations of the Whole Beauty Institute™, our Chicago office on North Michigan Avenue and our North Shore office on Green Bay Road in Winnetka.

In the first part of this blog I described the problem that many athletes encounter in their mid 30’s or 40’s: the very exercise that adds to their health and vigor begins to rob the face of its beautiful curves, especially in the upper cheeks. Fat transfer is a wonderful solution to this problem.

One of the few disadvantages to a rigorous program of exercise is the tendency for the face to appear a little gaunt and hollow as the years advance. With aging there is a tendency for the face to lose its fullness in the upper cheek, around the lips, in the temples, and along the jaw border. In some people, heavy exercise accelerates this tendency. At most fitness clubs you can see people with trim beautifully proportioned physiques but who look a little hollow in the face.

Once you reach a certain age, it is interesting to revisit the college or high school year book. There is a wonderful softness to the energetic and eager faces that look out at you from these pages. This is not just the result of photographic technique. As the years pass, most people lose significant fat in the upper cheek, particularly if they exercise and keep themselves trim. In a somewhat cruel irony, the better the body looks, the more tired the face looks!
