You’ve had a facelift and love the results but aging never stops. There are features of the aging face that the facelift is not particularly designed to address. Wrinkles and deepening of the nasolabial folds and marionette lines are only modestly impacted by a facelift and upper facial dynamic lines not at all. Plus, you want to get the most longevity out of the facelift you can. Maybe its been a few years since your facelift and you notice some laxity starting to show again, not enough to justify another facelift but enough to notice. Dr. Bass discusses options and planning to make the most of your appearance without surgery during the long stretch of time after a facelift before it might be time for another.

Most people focus of the facelift when they think of plastic surgery, and rightly so as it is still the main reset for facial aging. Still, there are several decades of facial aging before a facelift is indicated. During this time, a plan of treatment is needed to correct the earlier aging changes taking place, as well as to maintain appearance and prevent or slow the onset of facial aging. In fact, non-surgical treatments of the face have become by far the predominate treatments being provided these days.

There are non-surgical modalities that are used in concert to create the desired anti-aging and rejuvenation appearance goals. Medicated skin products, laser and energy based treatments and injectables like neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau) and fillers (e.g. Restylane, Juvederm and a growing list of others) are mixed and matched based on what features are aging and the preferences and lifestyle limitations of the individual to prevent and restore early facial aging. Given all the options and the range of aging changes encountered in people aged 30, 40 and beyond, Dr. Bass explains how a plan should be constructed in partnership with an experienced plastic surgeon who has a full range of options, surgical and non-surgical, available to patients.

In the last episode, Dr Bass discussed the technological revolution in plastic surgery.  This episode covers the other major transformation over the past 3 decades, the transition from a monolithic yardstick of beauty based on classic Greco-Roman ideals of facial harmony to a broader view of what beauty looks like.  As more of the population became plastic surgery consumers and the economy became more global, an expanded range of beauty endpoints started to become routine.  Both individual patient preference and a recognition of ethnic differences in beauty goals has fueled the development of an expanded range of procedures and techniques to address patient’s beauty wishes is a much more precise and customized fashion.  Improved artistry and customization in plastic surgery has made the field more relatable and responsive to people everywhere.

Dr. Bass takes us on a fascinating journey from the 1980’s into the 21st Century as plastic surgery is transformed by technological and social changes. Tune in to hear the origin of the episode title, Barbie Meets Star Wars. Many military and industrial technologies were being cross-purposed in the 1980’s for consumer applications. Coupled with an improved understanding of laser effects on skin, this new availability of technologies resulted in an explosion of cosmetic medical treatments.

This process was occurring in multiple medical fields during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and represents an early example of translational research before the phrase was coined. In combination with social and artistic changes in our understanding of beauty for the individual , plastic surgery was on the pathway to the mainstream position is holds in modern 21’st century life.
