Look Younger with a Non-Surgical Facelift

Bloomfield Hills, MI – As you’ve aged, you’ve probably noticed that your face has lost some of its fullness and volume. As that happens, you also lose skin laxity, resulting in the appearance of folds and jowls in your skin.

As the fat in our faces atrophies over the years, it results in wrinkles and folds that can make us look much older than we actually are. But the good news is, you don’t have to undergo an extensive plastic surgery procedure to gain back your youthful look. You can achieve a full, younger looking face with what is known as a liquid facelift.

Dr. Ali, a Michigan plastic surgeon, uses FDA approved facial fillers to correct the areas of the face affected by natural aging. This non-surgical facelift is a great alternative to a traditional facelift, but perhaps the best part is there is little to no recovery time.

Facial fillers work to lift, smooth, re-contour and add fullness back to the face. It is important to note that a liquid facelift, while effective, cannot correct major signs of aging, such as sagging eyelids and heavy jowls. A liquid facelift is appropriate for those with moderate signs of aging.

Aging naturally results in the loss of collagen and elastin, which creates sagging features. Injecting fillers, such as Juvederm, Radiesse or Restylane, can lift and contour the features to reduce wrinkles and folds, restore a face to a more youthful fullness, and provide a more rested look.

Depending on your needs, your surgeon may use fillers to lift the entire face, or to lift and contour specific features. Your surgeon can mask bags under your eyes or can open up your eyes by lifting your eyelids. Flattened cheeks can be filled out, and even bumps on your nose can be hidden.

Dr. Ali will use the type of facial filler that can best meet your goals.

  • Collagen is a natural protein that supports the skin, and injectable collagen is available in different formulas. Results from these can last for two to four months.
  • Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body and is an ideal injectable for filling facial creases, and some surface wrinkles. Juvederm and Restylane are this form of injectable, which can last six months or longer.
  • Hydroxylapatite is naturally found in bones and is the heaviest of the facial fillers. It is best for deeper creases and frown lines, and can be used to enhance the cheeks to provide a fuller looking result.
  • Human fat can also be harvested from your body and re-injected. Because it uses liposuction to extract the fat, it is a more extensive procedure than other filler options.
  • PMMA are a mix of microspheres suspended in purified collagen, and is recommended to improve the look of smile lines.
  • Sculptra is a synthetic biocompatible material that can improve skin thickness and reduce the appearance of folds. Results from using Sculptra can last up to two years.

Tenderness and redness may be present at the injection sites following a liquid facelift. Very rarely, a patient may experience negative side effects, such as an allergic reaction or infection.

Results are immediate, however, they are not permanent. To maintain the new appearance, patients will need to have touch-ups with Dr. Ali periodically.

If you’re ready to once again face the world with a more youthful look, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ali today to see what a liquid facelift can do for you.

What Can a Brazilian Butt Lift Do for You?

Bloomfield Hills, MI – Are you looking for a way to better fill out your jeans or that little black dress, and aren’t seeing the results you want after all your hard work at the gym?

Sometimes, through diet and exercise, our bodies respond well and provide us with the results we want. Other times, we need a bit of help to get our desired outcome. That’s where Bloomfield Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ali comes in. His expertise with the Brazilian butt lift can have you feeling more confident than ever before.

A Brazilian butt lift can give you a fuller, more lifted bottom, without the hassle of a surgical procedure. While a butt implant procedure requires surgery, stitches and a bit of a lengthy recovery time, a Brazilian butt lift is a simpler fast transfer procedure.

The procedure uses your own fat, so it is the most natural way to enhance your bottom. During the procedure, Dr. Ali will use liposuction to harvest fat from your body, making sure to keep the body symmetrical and contoured. Fat may be removed from the area just above the buttocks, the stomach or the thighs.

Once removed, the fat will be processed and purified before being re-injected into the buttocks. Dr. Ali will inject small amounts of fat in different areas of the buttocks, and at different depths, to ensure the most fat possible will be absorbed. Dr. Ali pays close attention to detail to ensure a smooth and natural looking appearance to your newly enhanced and lifted buttocks.

Proper candidates for a Brazilian butt lift must be in good overall health and at a stable and healthy weight. Weight loss after the procedure can affect the outcome. Additionally, patients should not smoke or drink excessively as this can interfere with the procedure and recovery.

Women who are very thin may not be good candidates for this plastic surgery procedure as they may not have enough fat to be removed. Because the fat must be processed before being re-injected into the buttocks, it may take three to four times the amount of fat needed for the lift.

Your surgeon will provide you with after care instructions. It is important that you follow your surgeon’s advice closely for the best result. You should plan to be on bed rest for the first week following your Brazilian butt lift, with no direct pressure placed on your buttocks. You will not be able to sit directly on your buttocks for the next two to three weeks after the procedure. You should avoid driving at this time. A compression garment should be worn 24 hours a day for the first two weeks.

You can resume all normal activities within a month following your procedure, although slight swelling may occur for up to six weeks. If you have any questions during your recovery period, call Dr. Ali’s office.

When the fat is properly removed, processed and re-injected correctly, you will enjoy a long lasting result. This is why choosing a surgeon who is well-qualified, such as Dr. Ali, is so important. When performed by a properly trained and experienced surgeon, your results should be permanent.

If you’ve done all you can through diet and exercise, but still don’t have the shape you desire, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ali today. A Brazilian butt lift can provide a beautiful, naturally fuller looking buttock that will have you turning heads.
