Innaugration of CPLSS by Asha Parekh and Naseeruddin Shah


What's New?
 

With this concept in mind, art of facial rejuvenation consists of 5 areas of non-surgical treatments, termed the five pillars - or, alternatively, the five R's - of non-surgical facial rejuvenation. This system has helped the patients achieve a younger look while avoiding the complications and downtime associated with surgery.

It's not just about finding one technique that will be good enough to replace the traditional facelift. Rather, there are many small non-surgical procedures that can be used together.

How surgeons are cutting out the knife
Any way you slice it, surgery for aesthetic purposes necessarily entails a certain amount of downtime. For decades, cosmetic and plastic surgeons have sought ways to whittle down or eliminate this recovery period. The best way to do this, is to cut surgery out of the picture. A normal face-lift involves atleast 2-4 weeks of downtime. Also it involves a big scar and certain effects like hair-loss, pulling of ears, and may lead to permenant damage of nerves and muscles of the face.
People are always looking for simpler methods of facial rejuvination, without the risks and complications of surgery and surgeons are trying to achieve this.

However, the evolution and emergence of a number of technologies in recent years have allowed surgeons to inch ever closer to this goal.

 

 

 

 

There are five methods -
1. You relax with Botox® ;
2. restore volume with synthetic fillers;
3. resurface skin with a host of treatments such as microdermabrasion, lasers and chemical peels;
4. rejuvenate the eyes using the non-surgical double eyelid technique; and
5. re-drape with the Woffles Lift and/or the APTOS, Feather Lift.

Each one of these techniques on its own has a beneficial effect for rejuvenation, So when you put them together, you can have a really significant rejuvenation
.

1. RELAXING WITH BOTOX:
Few treatments have hit the cosmetics scene with quite as much fanfare as BOTOX , and considering its notable wrinkle-busting properties, one can conclude that the buzz over its use is well deserved. However the application of BOTOX can be taken a step further by using it to mitigate the subtle tug-of-war between the muscles of the face that result in an aged appearance.
"As we age and certain parts of the face begin to sag, other muscles become complementary. This gives us tension, which is why you often see old people appearing to pucker. And the skin is no longer smooth and relaxed.

A purified protein, BOTOX relaxes the muscles that exert this constant, aging pull. The result is a reduction in lines and tension across the face - from forehead and frown lines to crow's feet and lines around the mouth.
"Botox® relaxes all of these muscles and gives the face a more relaxed and youthful expression. "In this way, Botox® becomes a very important tool."

In addition to its wrinkle-releasing properties, BOTOX has other uses - applications. They are browlifting, reduce sweating, facial slimming. Pore reduction, neck band reduction and many others.
One of these techniques, Botox® facial sculpting allows for restructuring of certain muscular components of the face to achieve a more youthful shape. When people are young, they have a sharp jaw line and a triangular shape to their faces,
Once people get older, however, this can turn into an inverted triangle.

To counteract this effect, BOTOX can be injected into the masseter, or jaw, muscle. In so doing, we can slim down a broad, manly face, which generally looks older, into a thinner, triangular, more youthful face.
The other technique developed is a procedure called microBotox® , also known as mesoBotox® .
"This is essentially the injection of tiny microdroplets of Botox® into the skin of the face. "The microBotox® technique improves the sheen of the skin, closes pores, reduces oiliness, and gives a subtle tightening and lifting to the entire face."
( For results and more details see under BOTOX)

Botox® only resculpts the face, releases muscle tension, and improves the sheen of the face. While this is a good start, it cannot restore volume or get rid of deep lines that have formed in the face.
For this we need the help of the second pillar of non-surgical facial rejuvenation- Fillers
.

2. RESTORE VOLUME WITH FILLERS:
Synthetic Filler materials fill out grooves and hollows and restore projection and 3-dimensionality to the central oval especially under the eyes, the deep smile lines at the side of the nose and to the cheek and chin mounds. This restores volume and projection and highlights to the central oval which confers a more youthful look. Many types of fillers are available. They are autologous fats and other synthetic materials. They maybe be temporary( lasting from 6-36 months) to semi-permenant which last from 2-7 years. Autologous fat is used from the patients own body and injected into the tissues for filling effect.
For more details and results see under FILLERS

3. REDRAPE THE SKIN WITH THREADLIFT:
WOFFLES LIFT and APTOS facial threads are used to elevate and redrape selected regions of the face which have become saggy, thus complementing the volume correction achieved thru fillers. These unique self retaining threads are non surgically injected into the sagging facial tissues which are then suspended to the dense and firm tissue of the scalp by these threads. Multiple threads are inserted to achieve the desired lift. No skin is excised and patients return to social activity the next day. The WOFFLES LIFT has in recent months been featured in the New York Times, Elle(USA), the Houston Times and CNBC.

4. RESURFACING OF THE SKIN:
The skin envelope is resurfaced or rejuvenated non surgically by using Lasers, Microdermabrasion, mid depth peels, Radiofrequency treatments and others.

The chemical peel I use a trichloroacetic acid(TCA)/ Resorcinol combination peel when rejuvenating the skin. This treatment works by dissolving away the dead upper layers of the facial skin, allowing the skin to rejuvenate itself afterwards. Though the TCA/Resorcinol peel provides a considerable effect, the procedure generally only requires about ten minutes to perform and is effective in dealing with fine wrinkles, blemishes and pigmentation problems.

5. REJUVINATING THE EYES with the stitching technique:
Perhaps no other feature of the age-worn face is more revealing than a set of tired-looking eyes The surgical solution to this problem is open blepharoplasty - essentially cutting into the areas around the eye to reshape and restore the surrounding tissues. However this goal can be achieved sans scalpel, thanks to his non-surgical stitching technique that restores a youthful fold in the eyelid. The procedure is as quick as it is effective; an experienced surgeon can perform the entire procedure in only 20 minutes. It has virtually no recovery time, uses only a small dose of local anaesthetic, and utilises just three to four stitches for each eyelid.

And, unlike many other stitching techniques for the upper eyelid, this procedure is a permanent, scar-free fix.
Because there is no cutting involved, when the patient closes their eyes, there is absolutely no scar on the eyelid. Rejuvenation of the central oval with this stepwise approach gives a harmonious appearance and can either complement or delay the need for full facelift surgery in many patients.
