Last month I was glued to the TV watching the A-List actresses on the Oscars red carpet. I couldn't help studying their faces to understand why they all, even the not-so-young, looked so darn good. FaceLifts, maybe? A NeckLift here or there? Eyelid lifts? What they all seemed to have in common was fullness in the cheekbone area, beautiful, soft, youthful "apples" in their cheeks.
Have you noticed lately that that in pictures you look older, but can't pinpoint exactly why? Same eyes, same nose, same mouth, so what's different? It's the shape of your face, the straighter outline and you're missing that pretty fullness at the cheekbones.
As we age, our facial fat tends to sag in the the eye and cheek areas causing undereye "bags" and drooping jowls. Our lovely, chubby cheeks droop down to a noticeably aging jawline.
Look at the faces of "beautiful" women. They all have generous, rounded fullness in the cheekbones. The ideal outline of the perfect, youthful face is gently rounded at the cheekbone areas. The "apples" of the cheeks are raised and pleasantly plump. The loss of fullness in these areas is a sure sign of aging.
There are many secrets to a younger looking face that not only the stars know. The procedure to regain fullness and contour to your fabulous cheekbones is the Liquid Face Lift. A large molecule dermal filler, like Radiesse is perfect for replacing lost volume in the face. Injecting Radiesse into the upper cheek area will restore the "apples" of your cheeks. It will create a beautiful, defined cheekbone and lift the cheek to pull up unsightly jowls and nasolabial folds (smile lines) and lift the entire face for a more youthful look. A Liquid FaceLift with Radiesse, the longest lasting of all the dermal fillers will last almost a full year.
Hollywood glitterati, fearing the close scrutiny of the camera, do not want their appearance to change radically (well, except for Joan Rivers). They want the most natural, yet youthful look they can achieve without looking "pulled" or "windswept". The Liquid FaceLift is the perfect choice for a non-permanent lift without the commitment of a permanent change or the expense and recovery from a surgery.
Speaking of stars, Kathy, Judyann and Madelaine in our office will all be having Liquid FaceLifts early this month. Drop in and see if we're ready for our "close-up"!

Choice of Hospitals
For many years, Dr. Sheila Bond has had surgery privileges at Clara Maass, St. Barnabas and Mountainside Hospitals. As you know Dr. Sheila Bond has performed most of her surgeries at Mountainside Hospital. Facing the rise of hospital fees, we now are offering a number of hospitals for patients' convenience and financial consideration. While not all procedures can be done at every hospital, we will try to give you a choice so that you can decide which hospital is most economically feasible to make your surgery as affordable as possible.
When you come in for your consultation, we can discuss the best solution to liposuction more of your fat and less of your wallet!
Fill Painlessly
Just when we thought that we couldn't possibly love Restylane and Perlane any
more than we do, Medicis, their parent company, has released a new formulation
of both products with .03% Lidocaine. Patients claim that after the first
injection into an area, they feel almost no discomfort, as the Lidocaine takes
effect almost immediately, numbing the area completely.
Come in and try the new Restylane and Perlane at 10% off in April and May.
Fill your wrinkles without emptying your wallet!
