Why Is A Non-Surgical Facelift Needed?
When you were young, your facial proportions developed around the structure provided by your bones and teeth. As your teeth have worn down and become shorter, your face becomes shorter and rounder, less of an oval.
Facial issues tied to shortened teeth:
- Your lips become thinner and more wrinkled.
- A deep crease develops between your chin and lower lip.
- Your lower face becomes compressed.
- Jowls form due to excess fat and sagging skin on the jawline.
All of this gives you an older appearance, as if your entire lower face is sagging.
What Is Involved In A Non-Surgical Facelift?
During your initial consultation with one of our dentists at StarImage Dentistry, a thorough evaluation of your teeth, smile, and facial profile will be done in order to develop a plan that may include one or more cosmetic or restorative dentistry procedures to give you a younger appearance and a beautiful smile. A non-surgical facelift is different for every patient. Every plan is customized based on several aspects, including the shape and angulation of the patient’s teeth and bite opening.
What Are The Benefits Of A Non-Surgical Facelift?
A non-surgical facelift addresses the most visible signs of aging and provides the benefits of a surgical facelift without surgery. This means you won’t experience surgical complications, won’t have the lengthy recovery from cosmetic surgery, and won’t have surgical scars.
It is an easy procedure that has both health and cosmetic benefits. You will enjoy a more healthy bite, one that will function better with less grinding and wear on your teeth. Your jaw position will feel more comfortable, and you may even see a reduction or elimination of TMJ symptoms.
And you’ll get a more youthful and attractive smile, too. That’s something you won’t get from a surgical facelift.
What Can I Expect From The Results Of A Non-Surgical Facelift?
A non-surgical facelift can lengthen your face and smooth out wrinkles. It also minimizes fine lines on the face, and your lips can become more full again. Its results appear more natural than the traditional surgical facelift because they address the underlying support structure, not only the skin and muscles. Your face is being restored to its youthful proportions rather than having your skin stretched over your current shortened facial structure.
The teeth and bite again start to support the cheeks, making you look younger. The jaw can also be repositioned to create better facial balance.
