The most obvious sign of aging in the face is the loss of volume. Until recently, we would try to restore a youthful appearance by lifting the tissues that have the appearance of having fallen. We now know that a lot of that "fallen" appearance is actual <i><b><a href="http://youtu.be/duuQDHQoQ34" target="_blank">deflation. </a></b></i>Sure, there are factors such as the loss of elasticity and descent of tissues from gravity, however if only one of the factors is dealt with,  then you will never look like they did in the past. I use old photographs of the individual that I am considering for rejuvenation to determine what has changed so I can make the correct surgical and nonsurgical approach.  I used to like to start with photographs from high school her college graduation or perhaps a wedding photo and then see how the face progresses into the 30s and 40s. The majority of my patients come in to my office for facial aging in the 50s or 60s. I have seen quite a few patients take a proactive approach and get an opinion on what to do in their late 30s and early 40s. Sometimes in the individual's did not like there facial shape when they were young and liked the more sculpted look they developed in their early adulthood years. With the help of <b><a href="http://www.dr-pena.com/vectra-3d-imaging.html" target="_blank">Vectra 3D-( three dimensional photographic) system </a></b>we can analyze exactly what has taken place as the face changes over the years and make the appropriate changes.<br />
<br />
Using this technology I can map out the plan for restoring the desired shape and appearance to the face. The first building block is to restore volume in the critical areas such as the cheeks, the jaw line, and the brow and temporal area. Other areas of concern include the area around the eye especially the hollow of  the upper eyelid and the junction between the eyelid bag and the cheek (tear trough).<br />
<br />
Too many times patients feel their lips are too long. This sometimes is true but most often the problem is that the lip  loses volume and needs to get resculpted. In the lip it is particularly important to look at what the original lip volume was as well as the shape.  If one tries to change naturally small lips into <u><b><a href="http://youtu.be/Ym1-f9Tv7MI" target="_blank">full lips </a></b></u>the results can be rather obnoxious. The lip in particular loses volumes in two areas: the first being the actual lip volume and where the pink vermilion is visible in the front view and secondly in the lip line where the normal skin and the pink vermilion interphase. It is that second area of the lip line which is critical to treat with volume before addressing the overall shape of the lip. This lip line filling has a benefit of erasing fine lines that are often blamed on "smoking" or drinking through a straw. The volume loss in this area combined with loss of elasticity results in the spine lines which are often more visible when you put on lipstick and the lipstick goes up into these crevices. The 10X mirrors that are often used to apply makeup often exaggerate these lines and add to the magnitude of the concerns.<br />
<br />
 The cheeks and the areas just below it are often areas that are misunderstood by plastic surgeons and dermatologists.  The problem is that they  have a tendency to put too much volume into the cheeks in an unflattering exaggerated way. This is often made worse by the over stuffing of the lips creating a caricature of youth rather than restoring the youthful "natural appearance". Another area that loses volume and can easily be treated is the jaw line. Volume placed in front of the "jowl" and near the angle of the mandible can re-create the beautiful jawline and strengthen the chin that will set off the contrast between the face and the neck.<br />
<br />
Restoring volume to the orbital tissues ( eyelids) requires more study and more artistry. The tissues here are thin and a little bit goes a long way.  The temporal hollows can be restored to their natural youthful appearance with a little volume especially in the deep layers. The brow pad restoration can actually give the appearance of lifting the eyebrow.<br />
<br />
My favorite volume restoration has been <b><a href="http://youtu.be/HWSqY83k1vU" target="_blank">fat grafting</a></b> for many years. <i>Hyalouronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and </i><b><i><a href="http://dr-pena.blogspot.com/2014/01/voluma-in-naples-florida.html" target="_blank">Voluma</a></i></b> however are getting better and lasting longer. They are easily obtained, injected, and adjusted and even erased if needed.<br />
<br />
Sculptra is a collagen volume stimulator they can also be used in certain areas of the face to restore volume.  Under no circumstances should you let anyone inject silicone into your face or any other part of your body as the body's reaction can be quite unpredictable.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/duuQDHQoQ34?rel=0" width="100%"></iframe>
Only after you have restored the face to the proper volume can you consider lifting the tissues that have relaxed and now cause the rest of the evidence of facial aging. Facelifting in a natural way...ahhh, that we leave for another day.<br />

Dental Implants: The Game Changer

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6FAzUkjX3Ts?rel=0" width="100%"></iframe>
Over the past 10 years, the popularity of <u>Dental Implants</u> has absolutely taken off.  There are many reasons for this, however, I believe the main reason lies in their versatility and predictability.<br />
<br />
Dental implants are titanium tooth replacements which are placed into the jaw.  They are very similar in shape and size to the actual tooth roots they replace.  The procedure to place them is surprisingly comfortable, with the use of only local anesthesia, and very often the whole procedure takes about as long as a typical filling.  The advent of  Dental CAT scanners has taken much of the guesswork out of the procedure, allowing the dentist to plan the surgery virtually beforehand.  This translates into a much safer, faster, and more accurate outcome.  There are 3 major uses for dental implants in todays' world.  <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8BCaXhjdylYSi06LMy29kPiwTrWUwh3kZ4Htz5PGATLz66bmu-aJ4DCWE37uPfKQpe1xQD2D3piDYq0wLovrOObqT1YDdtqLSQBFSOa6FNwsIPEFIFv9dtadXIpg1Q94dNFl7zYY3BI/s1600/Naples+Dental+Implant.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8BCaXhjdylYSi06LMy29kPiwTrWUwh3kZ4Htz5PGATLz66bmu-aJ4DCWE37uPfKQpe1xQD2D3piDYq0wLovrOObqT1YDdtqLSQBFSOa6FNwsIPEFIFv9dtadXIpg1Q94dNFl7zYY3BI/s1600/Naples+Dental+Implant.png" width="200" /></a>Obviously,<i> Dental Implants</i> can be used to replace one or multiple teeth.  Either these teeth were lost previously, or perhaps they currently need to.  Implants can be placed into those sites, even sites where the tooth was just removed.  <br />
<br />
Typically, Dental Implants are used to anchor either crowns or bridges securely into the moth.  They mimic the natural architecture of the dentition, they are color matched to be in harmony with the other teeth, but most importantly, they are the strongest tooth replacement option available.  They are not subject to decay, root canals, or periodontal disease.  Patients choose this option over others also because the teeth are secured to the implants permanently, and they don't come out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGN_4AJQkBmCTb76kb3z6ZpStvJtA-D7utoFhCppOVK28sl8E1KkLNYjk9FJQYWrQXzXUNnmO7CGGdNBjqw1mElIer0h2D0cDftQfF7NFlk7m7HYsVIi1bbZ9n2NbaiEeKA3sX7vQbVW4/s1600/Implant+Denture+Hybrid.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGN_4AJQkBmCTb76kb3z6ZpStvJtA-D7utoFhCppOVK28sl8E1KkLNYjk9FJQYWrQXzXUNnmO7CGGdNBjqw1mElIer0h2D0cDftQfF7NFlk7m7HYsVIi1bbZ9n2NbaiEeKA3sX7vQbVW4/s1600/Implant+Denture+Hybrid.png" width="200" /></a></div>
<u><a href="http://www.dentistryofnaples.com/patient-services/implant-dentistry/" target="_blank">Dental Implants</a></u> also can be used to anchor a fixed hybrid dental appliance.  I know that that's a big word, but its pretty easy to visualize.  A fixed hybrid appliance is like a denture, except instead of removing the appliance after meals or at night, the appliance is "fixed" or attached to the implants with special screws that only a dentist could remove.  This option is often chosen when a patient is missing most or all of the teeth in an arch.  It offers the patient the confidence that the teeth will not slide around of flop out while eating and speaking.  And because it's fixed with screws, and not cement, it can be removed, if necessary, without damaging  it.  Typically, these appliances have been fabricated out of plastic, like a denture, but recently,  porcelain hybrids are available which offer greater strength, wear resistance, and increased aesthetics.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmO4BnEjA53a3RvU_psYehz3d00JLrqjE7U6gNKAcJqj3MWJFvk_KrfuVEy-5i8rOqWzXzy-_wpTF_fd_oG7fhFBBDtsGn-CdHbWMHJXTzMpmmHVjjuWQphq3soHJR4wGQzZeQ4A3B-do/s1600/Implant+Denture+Removable+.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmO4BnEjA53a3RvU_psYehz3d00JLrqjE7U6gNKAcJqj3MWJFvk_KrfuVEy-5i8rOqWzXzy-_wpTF_fd_oG7fhFBBDtsGn-CdHbWMHJXTzMpmmHVjjuWQphq3soHJR4wGQzZeQ4A3B-do/s1600/Implant+Denture+Removable+.png" width="200" /></a></div>
Lastly, Dental Implants are commonly used to secure complete and partial <u>dentures</u> in place.  Unlike the hybrid appliance, these implant dentures can be removed by the patient daily.  This allows the patients to very effectively clean not only the denture, but also the implants.  Special attachments, similar to "o" rings are placed into the denture, and these rings grab the top of the implants, and snap in.  This option is very popular because it requires only a limited number of implants to be placed, and allows patients to have the confidence of chewing and speaking without the teeth slipping.  This is a great service we offer for those suffering with loose fitting dentures.  Most patients who receive this treatment wish they would have done it years ago.  <br />
<br />
As you can see, Dental Implants are more than just a single tooth replacement solution.  Today, Implants are used to restore complete sets of teeth and everything in between.  I encourage you to contact my office for more information on Dental Implants, and how they might help you.  I'm a <b><a href="http://www.dentistryofnaples.com/" target="_blank">Naples Florida Dentist</a></b>, and my door is always open for new patients and second opinions.<br />

Long lasting Breast Lifts now possible

Manuel M. Pena, M.D. 3 big breast lifts, breast augmentation, SERI SCAFFOLD which is used in Breast Lift Mastopexy 9:15 AM

<br />
One of the most frustrating surgical endeavors that plastic surgeons undertake is the "Large volume breast lift". Either a large breasted patient wants to keep a lot of volume while lifting her breasts, or someone with saggy breasts and inelastic skin wants to be lifted and enlarged to a big size, Both cannot be dissuaded from going down the path of  inevitable frustration.<br />
<br />
The plastic surgeons (myself included) cannot convince the prospective surgical candidates of the wiser "moderate" size lifts.<br />
<br />
NOW we seem to have a solution that at least seems to give us long lasting (but probably not permanent) solution to <a href="http://www.dr-pena.com/breast-lift.html" target="_blank">BIG BREAST LIFTS</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For years the breast lift, augmentation has been the single most difficult common surgery that plastic surgeons perform. By creating two opposing forces (Lifting the breasts by shrinking the skin envelope and increasing the volume by adding an implant), we have put in motion a recipe for early relaxation and scars that may be less than optimal. There is a new material called <a href="http://www.dr-pena.com/breast-lift.html" target="_blank">SERI SCAFFOLD which is used in Breast Lift Mastopexy</a>.<br />
<br />
This is a fabric or mesh that is made from the silk threads. Turns out that silk is made from two proteins: one gives the fiber strength and the other makes it sticky. By removing the sticky protein and weaving the strength  protein a "natural' mesh support can be made that can be used to support your bodies tissues.<br />
<br />
The beauty of  SERI Scaffold is that it is eventually totally replaced by your body while maintaining it's strength! The material is replaced by a natural Type 1 (Good  collagen) 3 X the original thickness of the material. This natural collagen sheet remains for years! It has been used very successfully to maintain the shape of these large breast lifts for up to three years (and the results are still holding with very little stretch!).<br />
<br />
This has been used for repairing hernias as well as many other uses. The cost of the material is approximately $1000 per breast and that is inexpensive compared  to the cadaver skin and porcine and bovine products available for similar applications.<br />

<span class="s1">Before the advent of <a href="https://plus.google.com/105567995968562327941/about?hl=en" target="_blank">dental implants</a>, patients who faced the reality of losing a tooth were told one of three possible solutions.  The patient could have the dentist fabricate a porcelain bridge, manufacture a plastic removable partial denture, or simply leave the space vacant. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">When a porcelain bridge is fabricated, the adjacent teeth to the missing tooth are prepared, and shaved down so they could anchor the bridge.  A dental bridge traditionally has been the best option for replacing a tooth because it’s cemented into place, feels like normal teeth, can be matched to existing teeth, and only requires 2 appointments.  There are downsides to bridgework however.  Sometimes the adjacent teeth are healthy, pristine teeth.  Bridgework requires these teeth be shaved down unnecessarily.  Because these anchor teeth are natural teeth, they are subject to tooth aches, and cavities.  If a bridge gets a cavity below it, it usually means the bridge would need to be replaced.  Flossing around bridges can be tricky because all the teeth are attached, which could lead to possible cavities or periodontal problems.  </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Plastic partial dentures can be fabricated as well to replace a missing tooth.  Partials differ from implants and porcelain bridges because they are not cemented in, they are removable appliances.  Although this could aid in cleaning the appliance, it poses several challenges to the patient.  Eating is most challenging, due to the fact that the partial moves when pressure is applied.  This could cause soreness in the gums.  Food also seems to get under even the best fitting dentures.  The major advantage dentures offer is financial.  They are the most cost effective solution for tooth replacement.  But are they worth the aggravation?  That’s left up to the patients’ to decide.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Lastly, simply leaving a missing tooth empty is an option.  This is not usually advised because it can cause changes to one’s bite, decrease the chewing efficiency in that area, and can cause teeth to shift position, requiring more extensive treatment.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-nmyzrccbI" target="_blank">Dental Implants</a> are the superior choice patients should consider.  In most cases, the adjacent teeth may remain untouched, in pristine condition, negating the need to shave down those teeth.  Dental implants will not decay, which is a huge advantage over traditional bridgework.  Implants allow for routine flossing, which is a major advantage compared to bridgework.  The implants are engineered out of surgical titianium, which makes them overwhelmingly strong.  The new tooth which attaches to the implant is cemented, and is not removable.  This allows for natural feel, and makes chewing a breeze.  </span></div>

Postoperative patient's and patient's entering on the day of their schedule surgery will enter through the surgical drive-through door. This insures the ultimate in privacy for our surgical patients. Here you will be escorted into the preoperative room where you will be prepared for the upcoming procedure. If anesthetic he has been scheduled, you will meet and discuss this with the anesthetist as they formulate your anesthesia plan. After conferring with Dr. Pena in the final markings are placed, you are escorted into the operating suite. Dr. Pena has designed a state-of-the-art operatory with a giant window leading to a private garden. This scenario allows the patient to relax in this environment. This facility is accredited by AAAASF (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities) and Dr pena is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The ASPS is comprised solely of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons.<br />
<br />
After your procedure you will be taken to the recovery room where you will be carefully watched as you fully awaken. When this has been accomplished the individual you have appointed to take care of your during the first postoperative day will be asked to come in and discuss the instructions and precautions. You will then exit via the perioperative door. This is the same door you will use the next day when you come for your first postoperative day visit.<br />
<br />
