How Can You Fix Sunken Temples?

Sunken temples and hollowed-out cheeks are usually a result of volume loss, which is an unfortunate side of aging. People wanting to achieve a youthful look strive for a more heart-shaped or oval face with full cheekbones, framing a narrower jawline.  With age, there is a loss of collagen, fat, and bone to support the face. This makes the face appear thin and hollow around the upper parts, with sagging skin around the lower jaw.  You also tend to have less bone and muscle mass to support the skin. The temples are an area that many patients overlook when considering cosmetic treatments […]

Facial Liposuction vs. Kybella®: What’s the Difference?

Various surgical and non-surgical solutions can help you get rid of a double chin, creating a more sculpted, slimmer, and youthful face. Fat reduction with Kybella® is one option for resolving this commonly seen concern. Another option is to have a facial liposuction procedure. At Greco MD, we offer treatment with both Kybella injectables as well as facial liposuction as a means to help you get rid of excess fat. If you are uncertain about which option will be right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Greco to discuss your cosmetic […]

Facial Implants, Fillers, or BOTOX<sup>®</sup>: What is Best for Facial Asymmetry?

What treatment option is best to achieve facial symmetry for you is based on the type of change needed for your face. While beauty treatments are often focused on enhancing the skin and individual features, overall facial harmony is also vital. Faces that are symmetrical are usually considered more attractive. Dr. Timothy Greco is a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon. He uses facial implants, fat grafting, fillers, or BOTOX® treatment to correct asymmetries and help patients achieve a more balanced appearance. Facial Symmetry A perfectly symmetrical face would have identical left and right sides. If you were to draw a line down the center, both […]

The Best Procedures to Rejuvenate Your Neck and Décolletage

Although people tend to focus their skincare efforts mainly on the face, the skin on the neck and chest is also prone to damage and aging. The deterioration caused due to external forces, such as sunlight and smoking, is just as visible on your neck and decolletage as on your face. The skin on the neck is thinner, more delicate, and unable to retain moisture, as well as the skin on other parts of the body. Additionally, it is constantly stretched in different directions with each movement of your head, causing it to be more likely to loosen and wrinkle over […]

Rhinoplasty vs. Non-Surgical Nose Job: What Are the Differences?

Knowing the difference between a rhinoplasty and a non-surgical nose job is key to knowing which procedure you would want to consider. The nose is one of the key contributors to the symmetry and aesthetics of the face due to its central positioning. Unfortunately, not everyone is born with a nose they find attractive. In addition, trauma, genetics, and the effects of aging are all factors that may distort its shape. Dr. Timothy Greco specializes exclusively in procedures for the face, head, and neck. With such a focus, he often hears from patients wondering whether a “non-surgical” nose job can be an […]

What Treatments Are Best for Younger-Looking Eyes?

Treatments for younger-looking eyes focus on improving the damage done by stress, aging, smoking, and sun exposure. The thin and fragile skin around the eyes is particularly vulnerable to such factors. Although makeup and topical products can help to some extent, cosmetic treatments will be a more effective option if you’re looking to fix more severe symptoms of aging or skin damage. Patients consulting Dr. Greco for cosmetic procedures for the eyes may be looking to resolve eyelid droopiness, wrinkles, dark circles, or sunken eyes. However, each patient has individual needs based on the state of their skin, age, and aesthetic goals. Cosmetic […]

Are There Non-Invasive Substitutes for Facial Fillers?

If you’re not interested in having injectable fillers or you’re not quite sure about needles, you might want to explore non-invasive cosmetic substitutes. While we all love the look of youthful, supple skin, sometimes getting fillers just isn’t for everyone. In such cases, there are other options you can explore with similar benefits. The only real way to fix depressions and wrinkles in your skin brought on by a loss of collagen and elastin is to make the thinning areas fuller again. Fillers are soft gels added below the surface of the skin to plump up the skin and smooth out wrinkles temporarily or to add […]

3 Things You Should Know Before Having Fillers for the First Time

Facial wrinkles appear due to a depletion of collagen or a loss of elasticity. Soft tissue fillers can replenish the missing fullness of the skin to give it a smoother, thicker, firmer, and more youthful appearance.  Any kind of cosmetic treatment to change your facial appearance is a personal decision that you shouldn’t make hastily, even if the procedure involved is a minimally invasive one. It is vital to consult a board-certified facial plastic surgeon before making any final decisions. Find out what’s involved in the procedure, and learn what you can do to optimize your results.  Although facial fillers are one of the least invasive […]
