• A face lift or neck refinement to reduce jowls and sagging skin.
• Special fillers and implants to improve facial contours and give your features a more balanced appearance.
• Resurfacing procedures utilizing the latest in laser technology to make your skin smoother, softer, and fuller.

You’re already on your way to becoming healthier! Now, consider taking the next step to a more confident “you” by learning how Drs. LaFerriere and Kienstra may be able to help you feel better in your skin. Call (888) 771-FACE to schedule a consultation today.

Not all nose improvements require surgery. Injectable treatments, including Botox and dermal fillers, can help reshape your nose to get just the right fit for your face. The benefits include a more balanced appearance, greater confidence, and minimal recovery time.

Drs. Kienstra or Laferriere will listen to any questions and concerns you may have and examine your nose for irregularities, skin thickness and color, and shape. This will help to determine what type of injection treatment is right for you and what part(s) of the nose should be modified to best meet your needs.

And it’s not just older men who are doing it.  Younger men, too, are viewing cosmetic procedures as a perfectly acceptable way to be more attractive or to correct features they consider unmasculine.

Why now?

For one thing, surgery that once required a hospital stay and weeks of downtime to recover is increasingly performed on an outpatient basis, with patients ready to re-enter their normal world after less time off from work.  Men aren’t in the habit of devoting time to a regular regimen of beauty care, but see quick, less invasive treatments, such as Botox® and dermal fillers that can be performed quickly during a short office visit, as attractive options.

Don’t let this happen to you!  Check the credentials and experience of the professional providing your injectable treatment. When you do, you will learn that Drs. LaFerriere and Kienstra:

• Are board-certified facial plastic surgeons
• Have performed more than 16,000 injectable treatments
• Have years of experience in achieving natural-looking results

Sculptra® Aesthetic is an important part of our lineup of injectable anti-aging facial skin treatments.  Call (417)887-FACE to schedule a consultation and learn what Sculptra and other injectable anti-aging facial skin treatments in the right hands can do to help you look as young as you feel.

“If it doesn’t look natural, it doesn’t look good.”

The best time to schedule a procedure depends on the downtime associated with that procedure and how long you should expect to wait for the best results.

For example, Botox® Cosmetic requires almost no downtime, but the effects typically take a day or two to become noticeable, and you should expect a 7 to 10 day wait for full results. You can expect immediate results from facial fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvederm®, but (depending on the area injected) there may be some bruising and swelling, so you should allow at least 3 days for recovery. You should plan on a 2 to 4 week wait for best results following a mini-facelift or a minimally-invasive surgical procedure to tighten skin around the eye.

“The goal is to look natural and refreshed without showing any signs of having work done,” says Jonathan Sykes, MD, President of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

That’s precisely what Drs. Keith LaFerriere and Matt Kienstra always say…If it doesn’t look natural, it doesn’t look good.

A significant portion of the meeting focused on facial volumization, a relatively new model in the rejuvenation of the aging face.  The face loses volume as it ages, with this deflation beginning during the 30s and accelerating at age 50 or so.  Fortunately, injectable fillers like Restylane®, Juvederm® and Radiesse®, as well as injectable volumizers like Sculptura®, are available.

“These injectibles are quite useful as stand-alone, non-surgical treatments,” Dr. LaFerriere reports, “but they can also improve surgical rejuvenation outcomes by allowing us to more finely tune volume.  This could make some additional surgical procedures unnecessary. It’s a very exciting concept.”

Dr. LaFerriere also participated in panels that addressed advances in mid-face rejuvenation and treating the ‘difficult’ face and neck.
