There are many reasons why people choose to have facial surgery. Aging is inevitable, and genetics can contribute to its effects as the skin loses elasticity and facial volume, creating hollow cheeks, sagging skin, and excess wrinkles. Facial surgery such as a facelift, browlift, or eyelid surgery can correct unwanted features and reverse signs of aging that detract from the appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lowenstein in Santa Barbara offers several cosmetic facial procedures that can help restore youth to your face so you can achieve your aesthetic goals.
As we age, the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin declines, making us appear much older than we feel on the outside. Non-surgical facial treatments can improve light to moderate fine lines and wrinkles, but for more severe signs of aging, a surgical procedure such as a facelift is required to correct them on a deeper level. Gone are the days when a facelift meant that you looked like every other celebrity in Hollywood. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lowenstein prides himself on a much more natural facelift, so you can age gracefully while still looking youthful.
Fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead can cause drooping of the brow, giving the face an angry or tired appearance. A brow lift can rejuvenate the face, tighten sagging skin around the forehead and brow, and restore youth to the eyes. A brow lift is often combined with other facial surgeries such as eyelid surgery and facelifts to improve the overall look of the face. Plastic surgeon Dr. Lowenstein in Santa Barbara performs both traditional and minimally invasive (or endoscopic) brow lifts to smooth the lines above the eyes and raise the eyebrows, resulting in a tighter, more firm forehead, brow, and eye area.
Renuvion by J-Plasma Skin Tightening is a new skin tightening procedure offered by Dr. Lowenstein at his private plastic surgery facility in Santa Barbara. Renuvion Plasma Rejuvenation improves crepey, saggy skin and wrinkles for overall improved skin elasticity. Renuvion by J-Plasma Skin Tightening uses Helium Plasma, a cutting-edge technology that tightens the underside of the skin for previously unsuitable results.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can rejuvenate the area above and below the eyes. As we age, it’s common to have excess skin in these areas, also known as dermatochalasis, which results in under eye “bags” and “hooding” of the upper eyelid over the eyelashes. The fat naturally found underneath both the upper and lower eyelid becomes more apparent over time and can result in an old and tired look of the face. Eyelid surgery by Dr. Lowenstein uses well-hidden incisions to access these fatty deposits which he then removes or replaces to their natural position.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive face treatment that uses ultrasound to lift and tone loose and saggy skin without any downtime or recovery. Ultherapy is the only treatment that can specifically target the skin tissue on a deep enough level that is usually addressed in a facelift without having to perform surgery. Through the use of Ultrasound imaging, Ultherapy allows Dr. Lowenstein and his staff to see the layers of tissue being targeted to ensure precise results.
Botox is an injectable used to smooth the fine lines that appear as we age. Botox, or botulinum toxin, can be used to treat the frown lines that form between your eyebrows when you squint and the horizontal lines that develop across the forehead. Botox is also an effective treatment for crow’s feet that appear around the eyes and over the forehead when you smile. At Montecito Plastic Surgery in Santa Barbara, Dr. Lowenstein and his staff are experts in Botox injections and will recommend the best treatment plan based on your individual concerns.
