How does Dr. Velargo approach rejuvenation of the perioral area? In this Part 2 video, he breaks down the treatments most often combined to achieve natural, balanced results:

1️⃣ Lip Lift surgery to restore youthful proportion
2️⃣ SMAS Grafting to support & volumize the lower lip
3️⃣ CO2 laser or Phenol Peel to smooth fine lines & wrinkles
4️⃣ Nanofat Grafting (when appropriate) to enhance overall skin quality

In this video, Dr. Velargo explains how layering the right procedures…tailored to each patient’s anatomy & aging concerns, allowing for comprehensive rejuvenation around the mouth. By combining structural support, resurfacing, & skin-quality refinement, we’re able to achieve smoother texture, improved definition, & a more harmonious perioral appearance.

How does Dr. Velargo minimize Lip Lift scarring? It’s all about:

1️⃣ Proper surgical planning & precise technique
2️⃣ Meticulous placement of stabilization sutures at the alar base to prevent stretching over time
3️⃣ Planned laser scar treatments at 6 weeks & 3 months
4️⃣ Early use of toxin to reduce tension across the healing incision
5️⃣ Patients who are compliant with post-operative care & restrictions

In this video, Dr. Velargo demonstrates how careful stabilization of the alar base helps maintain scar integrity & prevent widening, along with how limiting the incision to the lower portion of the ala creates a more natural, refined outcome. These small but critical refinements (combined with proactive scar management) lead to consistently smoother, less visible scarring.

This transformation highlights the precision of Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty, a technique that reshapes & refines without the need for traditional bone-breaking.

Using Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty, Dr. Velargo reduced the dorsal hump, refined the nasal tip, & narrowed the bridge…achieving harmony & definition with less trauma & more precision than a traditional Rhinoplasty could offer. Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty minimizes downtime & bruising; but as you can see, this patient’s results one year later remain natural & proportionate…a true testament to Dr. Velargo’s technique & technology.

The modern Facelift is about more than just lifting…it’s about restoring structure & harmony. Dr. Velargo discusses his extended Deep Plane Facelift technique, which rejuvenates both the face & neck for refined, balanced, natural-looking results.

Many people don’t realize a Facelift naturally involves the neck as well. In this video, Dr. Velargo explains how the extended Deep Plane Facelift targets the deeper muscle layers & supporting structures of both the face & neck, as he truly repositions (not just tighten) the tissues. The modern Facelift is about anatomy, not just appearance, which involves an advanced approach that releases facial ligaments & lifts deeper structures. This technique improve contour, balance, and natural movement

Interested in learning if you’re a candidate for a deep plane facelift? Contact us today & schedule a consultation to explore how Dr. Velargo’s approach can help you look as vibrant as you feel.
