Volume loss is one of the most important, and often overlooked, aspects of facial aging.

In this video, Dr. Erin Smith explains fat transfer, one of her favorite techniques for restoring natural volume to the face. This procedure uses your own fat, typically taken from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, and carefully places it into areas such as the temples, under eyes, and cheeks to create a softer, more refreshed appearance.

Fat transfer can be performed on its own or combined with procedures like a facelift or lower blepharoplasty to enhance overall results. Because it uses your body’s own tissue, the outcome blends seamlessly and feels completely natural.

Recovery is a key part of the process. Swelling is expected early on, with most patients looking presentable around two weeks, while final results continue to refine over the course of about three months.

If you’re considering facial rejuvenation and want to explore a natural approach to restoring volume, a personalized consultation is the best place to start. Dr. Erin Smith performs a high volume of facial rejuvenation surgeries each year, and many incorporate a fat transfer procedure.

A great example of how subtle, well-executed treatments can create a meaningful refresh.

This patient in her 30s came to Buckingham Center looking for a more youthful, rested appearance and had never tried a neuromodulator before. During her consultation, Sarah Morse, Aesthetic Nurse Injector and Laser Specialist, noted moderate to deep static and dynamic lines across the glabella, forehead, and outer eye area.

To address these concerns, Sarah used Dysport® to carefully treat the glabella, forehead, crow’s feet, and chin. By targeting the underlying muscle activity, she was able to soften existing lines while helping prevent them from becoming more pronounced over time.

Following treatment, the patient achieved a smooth, natural-looking result with noticeable softening of lines while maintaining full facial expression. She was extremely pleased with her refreshed appearance.

This patient in her 70s came to Dr. Edward Buckingham seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation and a refreshed appearance after having a previous facelift performed elsewhere in 2000.

To address her concerns, a customized surgical plan was created including a lower facelift, full face fat transfer, and CO2 laser resurfacing. This combination approach provided structural support while significantly improving overall skin quality.

At just 3 months post-op, her transformation shows a remarkable softening of deep wrinkles, improved skin tone and discoloration, and a beautifully refined jawline with the heavy jowling now eliminated. Her results maintain a natural, rested appearance that complements her features.

She has continued to maintain her results with Sarah Morse, Aesthetic Nurse Injector and Laser Specialist, through consistent BOTOX® treatments to the glabella, forehead, and crow’s feet, along with Revance® fillers. Earlobe filler was used to restore volume and support for earrings, while Revance Redensity® was placed in the lips to subtly enhance shape and smooth fine lines around the mouth.

She remains very pleased with her results and supports her outcome with a consistent medical-grade skincare routine.

Every face ages differently, and thoughtful, individualized treatment plans are key to achieving results that feel both natural and long-lasting. Explore your options with our team through the link below.

A meaningful transformation that restores definition where it matters most.

In this video, Dr. Hudson Frey walks through the results of a patient in her late 60s who underwent a deep plane lower facelift and neck lift. This approach allows for a more comprehensive repositioning of the deeper facial structures, creating results that look both natural and enduring.

Her outcome shows a beautifully refined jawline, a dramatic improvement in neck laxity, and a smoother transition through the marionette and mid-cheek areas. A prior neck scar that was causing visible tethering was carefully released, allowing the skin to lay more smoothly and evenly.

By lifting and repositioning the deeper fat pads, the cheeks regain their natural contour and highlight, bringing balance back to the face while enhancing overall harmony. Incisions are discreetly placed and heal exceptionally well, remaining virtually undetectable.

For patients experiencing heaviness through the lower face or looseness in the neck, this type of approach can offer a more structural, long-term solution tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Swelling is one of the most expected parts of recovery after facial plastic surgery, especially following a lower facelift. But there are ways to support and optimize the healing process.

In this video, Dr. Erin Smith shares some of the post-operative techniques she often recommends to her patients, including lymphatic massage to help reduce fluid buildup, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support tissue healing, and red light therapy to promote circulation and recovery at the cellular level.

Every recovery is unique, and having a personalized plan that incorporates the right supportive treatments can make a meaningful difference in how you heal and how quickly you return to feeling like yourself.

This patient in his late teens came to Dr. Erin Smith with concerns about the size and profile of his nose, seeking a result that felt more balanced while still looking like himself.

An open rhinoplasty was performed to refine the overall structure. The dorsal hump was carefully reduced, the nasal bones were narrowed to create a smoother contour, and internal cartilage support with a hidden stitch was used to reinforce the bridge and subtly elevate the tip.

His outcome reflects a significant aesthetic improvement with a softer, more proportionate nasal appearance, while preserving a natural look that fits his facial features. He looks like himself, just more refined and confident.

If you are considering rhinoplasty, a personalized consultation is the first step in understanding what approach is right for your anatomy and goals. Learn more at the link below.

This 39-year-old patient came to Dr. Edward Buckingham seeking a more lasting approach to facial rejuvenation after previously maintaining her results with Botox® and filler.

Although her skin remained in excellent condition, she had started to notice subtle changes including heaviness in the upper eyelids, early jawline softening, a deeper crease below the lower lip, and some looseness through the neck.

A customized treatment plan was designed to refresh and rebalance her features while keeping her natural look. This included a facelift, microliposuction of the chin and neck, upper blepharoplasty, and softening the crease below the lower lip with a touch of Restylane®.

Her results show a more defined jawline, a smoother neck contour, brighter, more open eyes, and an overall refreshed appearance that still feels completely like her.

If you’re beginning to explore options beyond injectables, a personalized consultation can help determine the most effective, longer-lasting approach for your goals.

Watch Sarah Morse, Aesthetic Nurse Injector and Laser Specialist, perform a customized combination of BBL™ and radio frequency microneedling, designed to improve tone, texture, and overall skin quality.

BBL™ works to reduce redness, pigmentation, and sun damage while delivering anti-aging benefits, creating a clearer, more even complexion. Using a strategic approach, Sarah performs full-face base passes followed by targeted spot treatment for areas of discoloration.

She then pairs this with radio frequency microneedling to tighten the skin, improve texture, and soften acne scarring by stimulating collagen at a deeper level.

By treating both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, this combination delivers smoother, firmer, and more radiant results over time.
