The process of facial aging is complex, but there are just three main characteristics that determine how old we appear:
-
- Skin deterioration
- Deflation
- Sagging

Internal factors, such as our genetics, and external factors, such as sun exposure and smoking, impact when this process becomes noticeable as well as the severity and proportion of the above three aging characteristics.
Even at rest, each person’s face suggests an emotion and as we age, the emotion is more often one of sadness, melancholy, worry, fatigue or anger and it may not correlate at all with the way we actually feel. These unwanted expressions often originate from our appearance around the eyes and mouth. That’s part of the reason why effective, natural rejuvenation in these areas is so important to restoring a youthful look.
Facial rejuvenation should provide a natural correction of the aging process without exaggeration or disproportion. Dr. Reid will help you identify which age-related changes you are demonstrating and your options for treatment. Often, natural results are most easily obtained by combining treatments and making small improvements all over rather than over-using a single treatment or over-treating a particular area of the face.
Facial rejuvenation used to be limited to operations that tightened skin, resected fat or both. We now understand the aging process better and in particular the importance of atrophy, or volume loss. A youthful attractive face does not have hollow eyes or flat cheeks; nor is it tight. Therefore, facial rejuvenation should restore volume and address any sagging without creating tightness.

Experience
Dr. Reid is an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. He frequently attends conferences relating to reconstructive and cosmetic surgery while maintaining an active interest in post-weight loss surgery.
Volume loss is an important component of the aging process and results in easily recognizable hallmarks of aging such as hollow upper eyelids, sunken temples and thin lips. Our best options for re-volumizing these areas are injectable fillers and micro fat grafting.

Mild to moderate superficial wrinkles and Fine lines can form on specific areas of the face such as around the eyes (known as crow’s feet), on the forehead, or between the eyebrows. These are known as dynamic wrinkles that become permanent over time with repeated facial expressions. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause these wrinkles thereby minimizing the appearance of wrinkles.
The experienced team at Dr. Owen Reid’s plastic surgery center is committed to providing comprehensive, individualized care, the highest level of safety, and optimal results as they guide patients through their journey toward achieving their cosmetic goals.
As the facial skin loses its elasticity with age, we begin to notice a “sagging” of the face. This sagging is usually most pronounced on the cheeks and at the jaw line (jowls). When the sagging cannot be treated with non-surgical options, a facelift may be needed. Dr. Reid will recommend a treatment plan appropriate for the level of correction that your desire at the time of your consultation.
This treatment involves the removal of excess fat by liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, hips or thighs which by itself provides some cosmetic benefit. The fat is carefully prepared before it is transferred in to target areas. The fat is injected in small quantities through micro-cannulas.
Replacing lost soft-tissue volume with your own fat couldn’t be more natural. Micro-fat grafting results in a soft, natural appearance and feel. Micro Fat Grafting provides a sustained improvement that ages naturally. There is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, problems which have complicated other permanent fillers.
Many patients are not seeking rejuvenation but rather a change in one or more facial features – a weak chin for example. In the past, creating ideal facial proportions and balance used to require surgical facial implants or orthagnathic surgery. Micro Fat Grafting now provides a lessinvasive alternative in these clinical situations.
The process begins with a consultation in our Richmond office. Dr. Reid will listen to your concerns and answer your questions. A standardized set of clinical photographs are taken after which you and Dr. Reid will review the photos and discuss his findings and recommendations. If your goal is to look younger, it’s very helpful to bring an old photo of yourself to the consultation.
Dr. Reid will present to you a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan; however, we understand that you may not be able to proceed with this treatment for a variety of reasons. If this is the case, we will work within your constraints to amend the treatment plan and provide a practical alternative.
Some treatments are available in the office and others require a private surgical facility. Dr. Reid operates at a private surgery centre in Vancouver.
