As patients age, there is greater volume loss in the face. Consequently, any treatment with fillers demands more volume as a rule of thumb; consider adding at least one syringe of filler for every decade of the patient’s age beyond forty. It is also important to inform older patients that they may have longer than average recovery from a procedure because of their age with slower resolution of bruising and swelling. However, if these precautions are taken, cosmetic surgery on the senior population can be the most rewarding part of a cosmetic surgeon’s practice.

Liquid Facelift San Diego, Del Mar, La Jolla
In this present cosmetic marketplace, saturated with “wrinkle-filling” alternatives, SCULPTRA, “The Liquid Facelift”, holds a unique and distinctive position.
SCULPTRA, originally created to counteract facial fat deficiencies in HIV patients, is a “volumizer”..a catalyst that restarts natural collagen production. When the age-depleted collagen in our faces is replaced, the result is a younger-looking, plumper, more vibrant appearance…. the look of youth.
Since this newly increased collagen build-up is the basis of SCULPTRA Facial Rejuvenation Therapy, visible improvement is not immediately apparent. However, once optimal results are achieved, they are expected to last a minimum of 2 years, and with the periodic touch-up, these results can be indefinitely sustained.
A CAUTIONARY WORD:
Although SCULPTRA is an exciting and innovative cosmetic tool, great results depend on the skill and expertise of the injector. Before you commit to SCULPTRA therapy, do your research, find a doctor who is knowledgeable and comfortable with the product.
Dr. Maurice Sherman is a Liquid Facelift Specialist in the San Diego, La Jolla and Del Mar, California areas. Dr. Sherman has made SCULPTRA therapy an option in his Del Mar, California clinic since it became available in the US, and his post-injection results have garnered national recognition. In his role as a national physician trainer, Dr. Sherman travels coast to coast to educate his colleagues in the methods and nuances of SCULPTRA injection.
If a non-surgical Facelift, a long-lasting, beautifully natural, pocketbook-friendly way to turn back the clock is what you’re seeking, the SCULPTRA alternative may be the answer.
Contact Dr. Maurice Sherman at (858) 350-8400 and ask for the SCUPTRA special @ $750 per vial, or drop by our website @ www.drsherman.com and request an appointment online

Facelift San Diego
Aging is no longer a contraindication for elective cosmetic procedures. It was commonly thought that elective procedures in the aging population, especially over sixty five, had too much risks involved. However, we have found that the senior population is just as likely to benefit with little or no more difficulty than younger individuals who are ten to twenty years younger. Procedures such as the abbreviated face lifts and laser treatment to the neck as well as local tumescent liposuction and fractionated CO2 laser skin treatment can be appropriate and safe in seniors. I do apply more stringent criteria to be eligible for an operation when a patient reaches the age of sixty-five. This means a more extensive medical evaluation, especially of the cardiovascular system is warranted along with a much more thorough history of medication use such as possible blood thinners or cardiac medications. Pre-operative blood work always entails a chem panel and a electrocardiogram. My oldest patient has been a eighty three year old woman who underwent successful face-lifting, but who was in very good health before the surgery, she received medical clearance from her physician and had no medical issues during or after the procedure.
