Each person’s face ages differently, so there are various anti-aging procedures to address everyone’s needs. Younger patients often begin non-surgical procedures to treat early, minor signs of aging while patients with deeper wrinkling and excess skin may pursue facial cosmetic surgery to fully address. Since facial and skin concerns range from wrinkles and fine lines to lax skin and muscle, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hunter Moyer offers both surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures to treat patients of any age and skin condition.

Patients with minor wrinkles and lines and surface concerns can benefit from minimally invasive treatments. Botox® and fillers are minimally invasive cosmetic injectables that smooth out wrinkles and lines. Facial fillers specifically restore lost volume in the cheeks and mouth. For sun spots and scars, chemical peels or laser therapy can improve skin texture and encourage collagen production for healthy, clear skin.

Surgical procedures like facelift and brow lift are available for patients with advanced signs of aging. During facelift surgery, Dr. Moyer removes excess fat and skin and re-tightens facial muscles. In some instances, facial tissue and fat can be repositioned to naturally fill areas of lost volume. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) corrects drooping eyelids and removes fat deposits below the eyes. Eyes are a common area of concern as they are one of the first areas to exhibit signs of aging.

Additionally, patients can combine non-surgical procedures with surgical procedures to maximize their results.

Our faces are often the first place to show signs of aging. There are many facial cosmetic procedures available for patients who want to eliminate wrinkles, lines, furrows, and sagging skin. One of the most popular facial cosmetic procedures is blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, as the eyes are often the first facial features to show noticeable aging. Atlanta plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Hunter Moyer performs blepharoplasty on both upper and/or lower eyelids to eliminate “tired eyes” and restore a youthful appearance.

To rejuvenate the eye area, Dr. Moyer removes excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper eyelid. Lower eyelid surgery removes excess skin along with under-eye bags. Using a technique pioneered at Emory Hospital, Dr. Moyer corrects the lower eyelid while restoring volume to the cheeks for a more rested appearance. Dr. Moyer carefully makes small incisions along the natural creases of the eyelid skin to minimize scarring. Depending on the patient’s needs, Dr. Moyer can perform blepharoplasty on both eyelids or on the upper or lower eyelid only.

Blepharoplasty is commonly combined with other facial procedures for overall rejuvenation. Since eyelid surgery only addresses the eye area, patients can choose a necklift, brow lift or facelift procedure to tighten excess skin and smooth wrinkles and lines. It is also important for patients to maintain their plastic surgery results with non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments. Minimally invasive treatments such as cosmetic injectables, chemical peels, and laser skin resurfacing help prevent signs of aging from appearing in the future.
