Renew & Rejuvenate

Restore your skin to its fresh, youthful state with the skilled professionals at Dr Felix Li Medical Aesthetics Clinic

It’s a fact: ageing is inevitable. Fortunately, there are many options you can explore when it comes to staving off its effects. But no one wants to look like they have had obvious work done. It’s all about achieving natural results and looking like a better version of yourself.

When it comes to reducing the signs of ageing, Dr Felix Li of Dr Felix Li Medical Aesthetics Clinic recommends dermal fillers. An effective non-invasive surgical facelift alternative, it can help restore lost volume and support through the retaining ligaments (responsible for holding the facial fat in place) of the face. The result is a youthful and refreshed appearance once more, along with slimmer and well-defined facial contours.

As we age, gravity starts to cause a laxity of the retaining ligaments. And when this happens, the pockets of fat get shifted out of place, resulting in the hollows and grooves we see.

Gravity doesn’t just move the fat downwards, but outwards as well. This leads to an inverted triangle of youth, where your once high, full cheeks, sharp chin and defined jawline are replaced with flat cheeks, saggy jowls and a widened jawline.

This is why, Dr Li explains, it is important to focus on “restoring soft tissue support and repositioning retaining ligaments with well-placed fillers that will lift and reposition facial fat to naturally improve both the hollows and grooves”. This will not only help you restore youthful facial contours, but will also help lay the foundations that will make your face more resilient against the ageing process and its most relentless enemy—gravity.

Once the foundation is set, dermal fillers can then be used to plump the cheeks and lips, and even redefine the chin and jawline.

In fact, Dr Li emphasises that without addressing the actual underlying causes and using fillers just to restore volume to sunken areas, like the cheeks, can result in a swollen, puffy or even bizarre appearance.

Ultimately, the benefits of a good filler treatment go beyond achieving desirable aesthetic outcomes; it can slow down the effects of gravity and ageing, and help you age gracefully.
