NON-SURGICAL FACIAL REJUVENATION

Face lift (face and neck)

The face begins to show signs of aging when wrinkles become more pronounced, the furrows deepen, the branch of the jaw loses definition, the cheekbones lose volume, the neck loses definition and gains volume, the lips become thin and lengthened and the eyelids have bags and excess skin.

When this process begins and its signs are incipient, it is feasible to treat it conservatively or minimally invasively.

If you notice that your face has lost the shape of the oval, that the branch of the maxilla has lost definition and that you have a significant excess of skin and fat on your neck, you probably need a face lift.

face lift

This procedure repositions the structures, the face recovers its oval and the patient gains freshness and youth.

The face and neck lift is performed with local anesthesia and sedation, mostly on an outpatient basis. The approximate time to resume the activity is 10 days.

Generally to achieve a natural, pleasant and harmonious result, the face and neck lift is associated with other procedures such as:

Face lift Price

The value of the consultation with Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra is $60,000 pesos . If you later decide to carry out the treatment, this value will be deducted from the total amount.

The cost of face and neck lifting is u$d 6,500 (VAT not included) .

Duration of the procedure

The surgery time is approximately 90 minutes. The time of stay in the clinic approximately 6 hours.

This treatment is carried out by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra in Hoogstra Medical Centers Caballito branch.

Facelift before and after

In these patients we can see how the replacement of facial structures provides harmony, youth and beauty to the face. The results are natural because the only thing that is sought is to recover its previous state.

In the following example, in the pre-treatment image, it is shown how in the aging process, facial structures are losing definition and the face takes on the appearance of a square rather than an oval.

The oval is youth, the square shows us the laxity of the superficial and deep structures and the displacement of these tissues from the face to the neck. In the postoperative photo the patient recovers the shape of the oval. This is accomplished through a replacement of the superficial (skin) and deep facial structures (muscles and fascia).

In the following photos, a face and neck lift and laser lipo of the maxilla and neck were performed on the patient. We can observe the naturalness of the result and the absence of visible scars. No filling of the nasal lip grooves was performed, which would have further improved the result obtained.

In most of these patients, filling of the nasolabial and chin grooves was also performed. In the aging process, most of the structures of the face move downwards, while the facial centers deepen, this is caused by reabsorption of the bones.

It is for this reason that most of the time we do a facelift we must use fillers, which can be used many times before surgery to delay the facelift. Sometimes they can be done during the procedure as we did with these patients and other times they are done postoperatively.

Lagrima Channel

Also called "tear through ”, is a depression that normally exists and is located in an area located between the nose and the cheekbone.

The tear canal and the lack of volume in the cheekbones can be inherited, but it also increases with old age due to the displacement and atrophy suffered by the fatty tissue of the cheekbones.

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra improves dark circles and cheek aesthetics with heavy chain hyaluronic acid.

Procedure time: 5 minutes

It is painless and produces great satisfaction for the patient, who immediately continues his normal life.

Quick and painless results

In photos 1 and 2 we see a young patient who has protrusion of the eyelid pockets and a very deep tear canal for her age.
In photo 3 we see how an immediate improvement of said depression occurs with the placement of fillers.
The photo was taken immediately after the filling was placed.
Photos 4 and 5 were taken 5 days after transconjunctival eyelid surgery. You can see absence of scars, absolute naturalness of the result and a very fast recovery.

Lips

How can we get lips that look natural and sensual?

Lack of volume, shape and wrinkles are the main aesthetic problems of the lips.

Fillers are the simplest tool with the shortest recovery time to give them shape and volume and reduce wrinkles.

It is important, however, that the treating physician has knowledge of the different types of existing filler materials, ability to apply them and great aesthetic sensitivity.

Facial fillers: What you need to know before doing a treatment

At Hoogstra Medical Centers, the placement of fillers and the application of botulinum toxin (like all surgeries) are performed by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra uses only two types of fillers.
1) Autologous, the patient's own fat autograft.
2) Heterologous or synthetic, of which only hyaluronic acids are used

Unfortunately, many patients come to our Centers reporting that they placed hyaluronic acid, and when asked how long it took since the placement, many times indicate a much longer time than they last in the body.

Currently, unfortunately, some medical and non-medical professionals continue to make fillers with prohibited products such as silicones. This leads to great physical deformations, damage to the health and psyche of the patient. This damage is permanent and irreversible. Silicones migrate and produce those typical facial and lip deformations.

If you see a deformed lip or a deformed face, it is very likely that a prohibited product has been placed on it.
Hyaluronic acids and botulinum toxin should be applied exclusively by plastic surgeons who have a greater understanding of the anatomy of the body.

The application should be done slowly and progressively so that the patient is accompanying the subtle changes that occur.

If the procedure is performed in this way, the results should always be natural and the patient would notice an improvement immediately after application.

In our center it is very rare to see a hypercorrection, but if this were to occur, first you have to wait about 30 days because it is probably a small inflammation, which is based on soft massages that the same patient performs.

More information on hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is present in the human body and this makes it the safest filler on the market and it could be confirmed that it is practically free of complications.

Rejection of hyaluronic acid by the patient usually results from the use of a low-quality brand.

It is common to receive patients who underwent treatments in other centers and report that it lasted only a couple of months.

This is because they got low quality hyaluronic acid.

What is hyaluronidase?

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme, a catalyst, that breaks the hyaluronic acid molecule and breaks it down, leading to its reabsorption and disappearance.

How long does it work?

A frequently asked question is how long does the product take to reabsorb?
As long as a second session is not required, the product will disappear in less than 24 hours.

Radiofrequency with Microneedles

Did you ever imagine what your skin would be like if your face didn't show the passing of the years? Do you know the techniques to restore to your face the radiant appearance it had at 20? An effective alternative to scalpel intervention is the Radiofrequency with Microneedles, a minimally invasive procedure that provides you with the lost collagen. We tell you all about this successful technique.

Over the years, the face loses the skin's natural collagen, fibrous molecules that form its structure and resist tensile forces. By becoming deficient in this protein, the skin begins to show no tone and reveal its first signs of aging, which from the age of 35 can become visible through lack of brightness, sagging and incipient wrinkles.

Radiofrequency with Microneedles is an innovative technology that helps regenerate the substances that are essential to keep skin smooth and young, and its application is simple and innovative, obtaining excellent results.

¿En qué consiste la Radiofrecuencia facial?

This contribution of the technology resides in the application of electromagnetic radiation directly on the aged tissue in the deepest layers of the skin, in order to cause great molecular and energy mobilization in the facial tissue.

"The Scarlet produces a gradual heating on the skin, acting mainly on the existing collagen fibers, strengthening them and producing an effect called collagen genesis (formation of new collagen), generating contraction of the skin and therefore reducing sagging", explains the Dr. Hoogstra, underlining that “during the procedure a sensation of heat is perceived in the treated area, without becoming annoying or painful. Later the skin can be seen reddened, gradually disappearing. "

Radiofrequency with microneedles applied to the face achieves contraction of the skin (lifting effect) as it redefines the contour of the face, lifts the cheekbones and eyebrows as well as the neck (dewlap), reshaping the facial area.
But its use is not limited to the skin of the skin as it is also an excellent technique to improve flaccidity in the arms, abdomen, buttocks and legs, caused by age, pregnancy or loss of muscle mass.
The results are extraordinary from the first moment, although they are gradually increasing. It is not necessary to take extraordinary measures after the procedure and does not require anesthesia. It also does not require a recovery period and it is possible to sunbathe as long as the proper protection is used.

"The result is evident from the first session since the effect is immediate when the existing collagen is contracted. In a second stage this improvement will be accentuated, achieving the maximum result around the first three months, which is when approximately the formation of new collagen is completed, "says the specialist.

The indications of the Scarlet, Radiofrequency with Microneedles They are:

- Affirm and tone the skin, giving freshness and rest to the face.
- Define the contour of the face and lift the cheeks.
- Decrease the nasogenial furrows.
- Smooth wrinkles and expression lines.
- Reduce dewlap, bags and dark circles.
- Tone the skin of the arm, inner side of the thighs and other body areas that require it.

Radiofrequency with microneedles introduced in Latin America by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra is indicated for both men and women who want to improve their appearance without undergoing surgery. "To obtain good results, the sessions (lasting approximately 30 minutes) should be carried out at intervals of 30 days, approximately 4 sessions are recommended, the effect being maintained for more than a year if controlled maintenance is carried out," the expert warns.

La falta de frescura y tonicidad en el rostro pueden restituirse y ya no es necesario exponerse en forma temprana al bisturí. Existen actualmente prodigiosas técnicas que combinadas, resultan eficaces y poderosas, revirtiendo los signos del paso del tiempo y recobrando la luminosidad perdida.
Rejuvenating is possible and having splendid skin after 35 is no longer a distant dream thanks to the advancement of new technologies in the field of aesthetic medicine.

Finally, given so many treatments, it is essential to visit specialized and recognized centers to perform aesthetic procedures, in order to ensure excellent results. For this, the responsible doctor will establish a diagnosis and based on it will plan the appropriate and adjusted treatment for each person.
