Premature signs of aging not only make you look older than your actual age, but they also tend to communicate feelings that may belie your true emotions. It’s not uncommon for men and women to take on a stressed, fatigued, or angry visage due to reduced collagen and elastin production negatively affecting skin quality. These emotions are often communicated unintentionally through the development of:

• Frown lines
• Sagging or drooping skin along the forehead
• Creases along the brow, which may appear while the face is in motion or at rest
• Fine lines surrounding the corners of the eyelids, also known as “crow’s feet”

If you believe you constantly look exhausted or angry even while feeling fully rested, you may consider utilizing aesthetic treatments to bring your inner vitality to the surface. Dr. Wesley Schooler, an acclaimed board-certified plastic surgeon in Santa Barbara, provides both surgical and non-surgical solutions to help you look as refreshed and energetic as you feel. Potential treatments include: 

• Brow lift: As the most effective and long-lasting option to soften signs of aging in the upper face, brow lift surgery can be an excellent way to lift drooping brows and restore them to a more youthful, rejuvenated position. Frown lines and horizontal brow creases are also reduced in the process, giving patients the long-term facial rejuvenation they desire. 
• BOTOX^® Cosmetic: If you’re not ready for a procedure or you simply prefer to avoid surgery, BOTOX^® Cosmetic may be ideal. These quick, in-office injections temporarily relax overactive facial muscles, thereby smoothing frown lines and other wrinkles making you appear tired or displeased. 

Dr. Wesley Schooler understands the desire to continue looking rested and energetic as you age and offers several surgical and non-surgical treatments to alleviate a stressed, fatigued, or angry appearance.

At our state-of-the-art medical spa, we strive to provide patients with the most advanced cosmetic enhancement procedures available— not only to achieve the highest quality of results, but also to help ensure a comfortable and convenient treatment experience. Our team of aesthetic professionals is excited to introduce Revanesse^® Versa™ to our practice as a new non-surgical injectable to correct signs of aging, such as wrinkles, diminished facial volume, deep creases, and expression lines. The Revanesse^® Versa™ solution differs from other dermal fillers due to its unique chemical composition, which has been proven to cause less swelling and provide a longer-lasting result when compared to other minimally invasive techniques. Santa Barbara Plastic Surgery Center is thrilled to be the first practice in the region to offer Revanesse^® Versa™, and our plastic surgeon is excited to extend the benefits of this cutting-edge injectable to our patients.

Revanesse^® Versa™ is distinguished from other dermal fillers due to its meticulous manufacturing process. Produced in small batches, each syringe of Revanesse^® Versa™ is individually tested to help ensure a consistently high quality of the filler. Additionally, Revanesse^® Versa™ is marked by its uniform distribution of sphere-shaped particles, a unique composition that enables the solution to be broken down gradually by the body. This can not only extend the longevity of the results, but the smooth formulation can also leave patients with natural-looking volume enhancement. What’s more, recent studies have indicated that post-treatment swelling occurs 24 percent less often than with comparable hyaluronic acid-based fillers.

With Revanesse^® Versa™, board-certified plastic surgeon Wesley Schooler, MD as well as our team of aesthetic professionals, can help restore youthfulness to your facial features.
