Taking Care of Gaunting
Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery | Aug 29, 2010 | Comments 0
As plastic surgeons, we can do quite a lot to improve gaunting. We can’t correct it quite as well as we can for the younger types of aging — drooping and wrinkling — but even if you have a lot of gaunting, we can still have you look terrific for your age.
Actually, some of your gaunting gets taken care of when we correct your droops and wrinkles. We can also perform some finesse procedures, designed specially to lower your hills and fill in the valleys.
Smoothing Hills and Valleys:
We can lower the hills by smoothing down the jutting bony eyebrows or reducing the now-too-big-and-droopy nose. We can often use your own extra tissue to fill in hollow temples, fill in hollow cheeks and make thin lips fuller.
We can also fill in the deep corners alongside the nose, and we have been getting good results filling in the hollows under the eyes. Sometimes we can partially fill in the hollow above deep-set eyes to make them look younger and brighter.
And there you have it … three types of facial aging … drooping, wrinkling, and smoothing and filling-in for gaunting.
