Ever since one of our patients was featured in New You Magazine for her incredible “Looking the Way you Feel” plastic surgery success story, we’ve been getting a lot questions about how exactly the doctors at CosMed Clinic were able to turn back the time, and give Roberta a younger look, that matched the way she felt on the inside.  CosMed’s team approach to facial rejuvenation produced incredible results for this 67 year old patient.

Below is a list of the facial rejuvenation procedures she had done  with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Quiroz and dermatologist Dr. de la Fuente at CosMed Plastic Surgery Center in Mexico.

Step 1: Full face and neck lift
One of the first places to notice effects of aging is the face and neck. The effects of gravity, sun exposure, free radicals, weight loss and daily stress can become visible in the form of deep creases between the nose and mouth, slack jaw line, and fat deposits in the neck. A facelift can turn back time and improve/reduce the effects of aging. By tightening underlying facial muscles and removing areas of excess fat, CosMed’s medical doctors can help you achieve a more youthful and naturally refreshed look.

Step 2: Dermabrasion around the upper and lower lips
Dermabrasion helps to smooth the skin around the mouth and, in the process, removes fine wrinkles.

Step 3: Lip Augmentation with her own fat vs. a synthetic filler
To enhance contour and give the face a more youthful look, we do a procedure called fat grafting or fat transfer with stem cells. Fat is removed by liposuction from elsewhere on your body, appropriately prepared and then injected into the desired area. While synthetic fillers may be advised in certain areas from some patients, we felt that using her own fat would provide the best and most natural results.

Step 4 Fraxel re:store laser full face
Fraxel can remove years from your appearance with no additional surgery required. The revolutionary Fraxel re:store™ laser treatment improves skin tone, reduces discoloration, wrinkles and fine lines resulting in an overall smoother skin texture.

Fraxel re:store laser treatment uses points of light to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of your skin. The treatment penetrates deep into the skin to remove old, damaged skin cells, stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, and replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin. Because the technology is so precise, Fraxel re:store treatment works not only on the face, but also on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest and hands. Fraxel re:storetreatment delivers dramatic results, fast healing and maximum safety. Safe and effective, the Fraxel re:store laser is cleared by the FDA and has undergone extensive testing in the lab and out in the field.

Step 5: Maintenace skin care with Tri Retinol Complex, Ultra Sheer Moisturizer, TNS Illuminating eye cream and Sunscreen SPF30 from Skin Medica

Ongoing maintenance with high quality skin care products is important for keeping skin beautiful. We developed a regimen specifically for Roberta to help her maintain her new youthful look.

Beyond the cost saving benefits of having plastic surgery in Mexico, CosMed’s  wholestic approach to beauty and well-being allows the highest quality analysis from medical professionals including plastic surgeons as well as a dermatologist in order to achieve the best possible results.
