Four New Facial Fixes

Four New Facial Fixes
Aired on: September 14, 2011

We all have something about our looks we wish we could change (and if you don't, lucky you!). According to Dr. Youn, there are new plastic surgery techniques that could make it easier to do just that. "Surgery is changing," he says, "the ones we're going to talk about today are low downtime, minimal scars, [with a] quick recovery."

Wide jaw line: Dr. Youn says when people feel their jawline is too wide, it could be caused by a wide muscle in the area. He says Botox can be injected to shrink the muscle and give the appearance of a narrower jaw.

Permanent frown: "As we get older, some of us find that the corners of our mouth droop," he explains, "Gravity combines with genetics to give us a permanent frown." Dr. Youn says one possible solution is the grin lift, a 20-minute surgery typically done in a doctor's office.

Chubby cheeks: They may be adorable on toddlers, but chubby cheeks are not always appreciated by adults with this facial feature. Dr. Youn says a thinning procedure is a surgery that can be performed to remove extra fat from the jowls.

Double chins: No matter how slim you are, you can inherit a double chin from your parents. "The most effective way to treat a double chin is what I call 'the weekend neck lift,'" he says, explaining it’s a half hour liposuction procedure. He says most patients take a weekend off and go back to work the following Monday.
