Erasing
the signs of time for a more youthful appearance - Part 1
You've
gained maturity, experience, and wisdom, but your face doesn't have
to show it. Crow's-feet, laugh lines, furrows, jowls, neck wrinkles,
and lip lines can mask the natural beauty that has suffered the
telltale signs of life. Drs. Basner & Rosenberg have mastered innovative
and advanced methods designed to take your face back in time for
a refreshing, more youthful look. With them, you can look as good
as you feel.

Below
is some general information regarding this procedure. We will provide
you with extensive information during your complimentary
consultation. Any further questions or concerns may also be
addressed at that time.
Face
Lifts
With a face lift, we can surgically remove excess skin and fat,
tighten your muscles, and redrape the skin to lie more smoothly
over your face and neck. Typically, incisions are hidden within
the hairline, behind the ear, and/or under the chin. Incision sites
may vary according to the patient's hairstyle.
Following your surgery, you'll need to keep your head elevated for
a day or two. Bandages will be applied and a small tube may be present
to help drain excess fluid. Most bandages, sutures, and tubes will
be removed within the first week. Your skin will be sensitive, and
expect some bruising and swelling. However, this should subside
within the first two weeks. Any strenuous activity should be avoided
for at least two weeks. You can most likely return to work in ten
to 14 days.
Face lifts can be performed at almost any age, although they are
most effective in those with good skin elasticity. As with any surgical
procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection or bleeding.
Hematomas, small areas of blood collecting under the surface of
the skin, and nerve injury are also possible. However, complications
are rare.
"I
had a lot of wrinkles from being out in the sun too much. I tried
creams and make up, but they didn’t work. So, I went to see
Drs. Basner & Rosenberg for laser skin resurfacing. The laser was
painless and the results were unbelievable. My skin is so smooth
and I look so much younger!" - T.D.
Laser
Skin Resurfacing
During laser skin resurfacing, a gentle laser light smooths the
lines around the mouth and eyes, softening deeper frown lines, and
removing skin that has suffered the damaging effects of sun and
wind. Acne scars and scars from surgery can also be reduced. New,
healthy skin is revealed, leaving you with a smooth, fresh appearance.
After the procedure, for a short time you'll need to care for your
face with cool compresses and a special cleansing regimen. But you
will experience very little to no discomfort. Some redness may last
for up to three months, but it can easily be concealed with makeup.
We'll also provide you with tips and advice on how to do this.
Complete recovery takes about two to four weeks. Laser skin rejuvenation
can also be performed in conjunction with other procedures, such
as a face lift or brow lift.

BOTOX ® Cosmetics ™
A safe, effective way to temporarily remove wrinkles, BOTOX ® Cosmetics ™ involves
the use of Botulinum toxin to eliminate or reduce frown lines, crow's-feet,
laugh lines, and other wrinkles, provided they are not caused by
sun damage, scarring, or trauma.
When your facial muscles contract, wrinkles are created. BOTOX ® Cosmetics ™
works by reducing the relaxing muscles, which results in "plumped"
skin and a smoother, nonwrinkled appearance.
There is minimal discomfort with the BOTOX ® Cosmetics ™ procedure. Anesthetics
are not necessary, and you can return to your daily activities almost
immediately. Treatment takes approximately five days to reach its
full effect, and results last for up to six months.
