NAPLES, FLA., October 10, 2017 – A traditional surgical facelift or the new “liquid facelift” – which is best for you? Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Stephen Prendiville says a combination of surgical facelift and injectable fillers often yields the best results for patients who want a more youthful appearance. “There are so many options now for facial rejuvenation that didn’t exist a few years ago. Although the surgical facelift is a structural, self-volumizing procedure, for some patients adding additional volume to the cheek area with fillers is beneficial and advantageous,” said Dr. Prendiville, who also is medical director of the Assuage Luxury Spa in Fort Myers and Naples. Dr Prendiville will explain the differences and benefits of each procedure and the different types of injectable fillers at a free seminar Friday, Nov. 17, at the Hilton Garden Inn Fort Myers Airport at Gulf Coast Town Center, 16410 Corporate Commerce Court. The seminar begins at 11:30 a.m. with a light lunch. The seminar is free, but reservations are required by calling 239-437-3900. Space is limited. “Liquid facelifts are the newest trend in facial rejuvenation because there is no surgery, no anesthesia required and no downtime, but we’re finding that results are often best when fillers are added as an enhancement to a surgical facelift,” said Dr. Prendiville. Among the newest injectables to be discussed are: ? Juvederm Vollure™ – the newest longer-lasting filler on the market that is FDA-approved to soften moderate to severe lines around the nose and mouth with results lasting as long as 18 months; ? Juvederm Voluma® – the first filler approved to restore age-related volume in the cheeks; ? Juvederm Volbella® – an injectable for lip augmentation and correction of lines around the lips; ? Sculptra® – an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen – an underlying cause of facial aging – for results that can last more than two years; and ? Fat transfer – Utilizing fat from the abdomen, thighs or other areas, fat can be injected into the face to fill acne scars and sunken areas of the face. Dr. Prendiville also will discuss other fillers, such as Radiesse®, Restylane®, Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport® and others, as well as eyelid lifts, nose surgery, lasers and reconstructive surgery.
