This episode is all about facial aging and the three main areas of facial aging—skin aging, volume loss, and structure. A foundational rule of thumb for any cosmetic treatment, including facial rejuvenation, is that treatment is based on your anatomy and biology and not on your age! Understanding this concept will set you in the right direction during your consultation and as you continue to take care of your face and skin.

As we walk through skin aging, volume loss, and structure, I’ll discuss specific treatments based on each of these three areas. We’ll also explore at-home and office treatments for facial aging, what you should focus on during your own research, and my personal skincare recommendations.

In this episode, we cover:

• Skin aging: Understanding what causes the skin to age, why your goal should be to minimize wrinkles over time, and what you can do now in your 20s and if you are over 30. (02:25)
• Loss of volume: Facial volume loss is an easily recognized aging appearance—even if you may not know what to call it, and we look at the benefits of fat grafting and why it is preferred over fillers. (16:48)
• Structural aging: This is the result of facial volume loss. We look at facial rejuvenation surgery, a caution against skin tightening, and the findings from the Twin Facelift Technique Study. (20:17)
• For patients considering facial intervention, here is what you can do to stay better informed as you go into your consultation - and why it’s important to start off with physician-dispensed medical-grade skincare products. (24:29)
