Jaw

Soft Tissue Fillers

Not many of us think of our jaw as a problem area.  As we age, the volume in our lower chin begins to deplete and as this occurs, the jaw line softens and can become jowly. Using tissue fillers to revolumize the jaw will not only volumize the jaw itself, but will have positive effects on the surrounding structures like the corners of the mouth. There are several different tissue fillers that can be used in the cheeks for augmentation including hyaluronic acid fillers. The cheeks are often treated in conjunction with other areas of the lower face for facial rejuvenation.

Botulinum Toxin for Muscle Relaxation

The corners of the mouth can start to turn downward because some muscles in the jaw become overactive. This can sometimes lead to an angry or sad look.  The muscles can be controlled by careful placement of Botulinum Toxin A.  The results are seen within days, and can last for months.  Come in for a consultation with Dr. Searles to see what these products can do for you.

Skin Tightening

The upper lip is like a curtain in a theatre. As we age, the curtain becomes more lax, and vertical lines may become more apparent. Using skin tightening techniques, from the non-invasive Laser Genesis Laser system or the deeper Cutera Pearl laser resurfacing treatment, may create a smoother, younger appearance to the upper lip and the surrounding skin. Dr. Searles can help you decide which treatment suits your needs best.
