The natural fat pads in the face provide volume and give cheeks that plump, youthful quality we all desire. Over the years, these pads gradually break down and descend, causing the face to appear older and more tired. This side effect of aging is a common concern for many women, which is why our experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Matthew White, uses a foundational approach to facelift surgery to effectively restore lost volume while maintaining a natural look.
As part of his signature facelift, Dr. White repositions the fat pads to counteract their downward slide over time. This is done in addition to addressing your fascia and ligaments and considering how your personal bone structure has evolved over time. When this foundational work is not done, surgeons may resort to overreliance on fat transfer to restore youthful facial contours, which ultimately results in an “overblown” appearance that many wish to avoid.
Although doctors have traditionally viewed facial aging as only skin-deep, research has shown that the face ages at different levels. Dr. White is considered a leader in facial aging, and with his foundational approach, he repositions your facial volume rather than overfilling areas where tissue has depleted. He has helped numerous men and women reverse the unwanted effects of facial aging with extremely natural results.
