Before and Afters – Buckingham Signature Chest Rejuvenation Package

*Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.

The providers at the Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery offer chest rejuvenation solutions for individuals in Austin & Sunset Valley, TX. Over the years, the delicate tissue between the neck to the breasts can start to show signs of age. Decades of sun damage can eventually lead to age spots and areas of hyperpigmentation that mottle the skin. Age-related volume loss, weight fluctuations and genetic disposition can cause this skin to become lax, wrinkle and take on a crepey appearance. While most women are primarily concerned about the fine lines and creases on their face, without even knowing it, the tissue on their chest can add years to their appearance.

Chest rejuvenation from Buckingham Center is a unique, specialized set of procedures designed to restore a younger, more attractive chest and décolletage. Using two cutting-edge techniques, Buckingham Center’s providers can quickly restore a smooth, youthful-looking chest without any downtime, scarring, or serious risk for complications. By combining the dermal filler Sculptra with a BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) treatment, providers can plump chest tissue, smooth wrinkles, lighten sunspots and dark areas on the skin. This combination treatment improves the overall appearance of the chest, décolletage and lower neck.

TYPES OF CHEST REJUVENATION PROCEDURES

Moxi Laser

During a Moxi treatment, the fractional laser divides the beam into thousands of microscopic zones, which allows the laser to target a fraction of skin at a time. Moxi Laser treatments are ideal for addressing variances in skin tone, pigmentation irregularities, fine lines and uneven skin texture. Furthermore, since the Moxi Laser does not damage the skin all over, and instead creates columns of thermal damage, the skin heals faster than with a traditional laser resurfacing treatment.

Sculptra

Approved by the Food and Drug Administration, Sculptra is a safe and effective dermal filler, used to restore the volume loss that often accompanies aging. Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra, is a biocompatible and biodegradable material, providing safe and long-lasting results. Injected immediately below the surface of the skin using a tiny needle, Sculptra encourages the body’s natural production of collagen. Over the following weeks, the skin’s contour and texture will significantly improve. While the benefits of Sculptra will appear gradually, the youthful results can last for up to two years.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE SCIENCE BEHIND SCULPTRA, READ DR. BUCKINGHAM’S ARTICLE ON POLY-L. 

BBL

Broadband Light Therapy, more commonly called BBL, is a noninvasive technique using Photorejuvenation to improve the quality and appearance of aging skin. BBL can dramatically restore younger-looking skin by reducing the appearance of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and broken capillaries. Each BBL treatment is gentle and painless. The provider will use a small handpiece, gently passing over the targeted tissue, emitting a concentrated pulse of light energy. The procedure needs no anesthesia, requires no downtime, and gets patients back to return to their normal schedule immediately after treatment. Best of all, the benefits of BBL will last for years to come.

An in-office treatment, chest rejuvenation sessions at Buckingham Center generally take 45 minutes. Depending on the extent of correction and desired results, patients will require approximately three Sculptra sessions and four BBL treatments, although this may vary. For the best results, each treatment should be spaced from four to six weeks apart.

Chest Rejuvenation requires no incisions and needs no downtime. Most patients are feeling well enough to return to work the same day as their treatment. While complications from the chest rejuvenation techniques are rare, side effects can include bruising, redness and swelling. These can easily be covered for the first few days and will normally resolve over the following seven to ten days. In some cases, dark spots may come to the surface of the skin after a BBL treatment. However, these are temporary as well.

Before scheduling your chest rejuvenation procedure, a confidential consultation with an experienced doctor will be arranged. At this time, the doctor will perform an examination of the skin and chest area. He will review your medical history and current medications, as well as discuss both short-term and long-term aesthetic goals. The provider will share a range of before/after photographs of recent chest rejuvenation patients, allowing for a clear visualization of the expected results. If the chest rejuvenation technique is right for your individual needs, a personalized treatment plan will be created, walking you step-by-step through the process.

Frequently Asked Chest Rejuvenation Questions

WHAT IS CHEST REJUVENATION?

Chest rejuvenation is a combination of Sculptra and BBL, used to restore smooth skin and an even tone to the chest and décolletage. Using Sculptra, an FDA-approved injectable filler, a Buckingham Center doctor will tighten crepey, wrinkled skin by kick-starting the tissue’s collagen production. Then, by adding a series of BBL treatments, the doctor will eliminate age spots and dark areas of hyperpigmentation. Together, Sculptra and BBL will bring back a more youthful, attractive chest.

WHAT IS SCULPTRA?

Sculptra is a unique dermal filler, created from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This synthetic compound safely encourages the body’s own production of collagen, slowly restoring shape and contour to aging tissues. Sculptra is approved by the FDA as a safe and effective tool for reversing volume loss in the skin.

WHAT IS BBL?

Broadband Light Therapy (BBL) is an innovative treatment using the science of Photorejuvenation to improve sun damage, hyperpigmentation, rosacea and broken capillaries. BBL operates similarly to Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, harnessing concentrated light-energy to meticulously targeted age spots and dark areas. Each BBL session is uniquely tailored to match the patient’s skin type and specific condition.

WHO IS THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR CHEST REJUVENATION?

The best candidate for chest rejuvenation is someone in overall good health, looking to restore youthful-looking tissue along the chest, décolletage and lower neck. Potential patients should understand the chest rejuvenation process and recovery. They should also hold realistic expectations for their final results. Prior to the procedure, a private consultation will be scheduled with one of Buckingham Center’s doctors to determine if chest rejuvenation is right for you.

HOW LONG DOES EACH CHEST REJUVENATION SESSION TAKE?

Chest rejuvenation, with Sculptra and a BBL treatment, will normally take an hour in the office.

WHERE IS CHEST REJUVENATION PERFORMED?

Chest rejuvenation is performed in a private, comfortable treatment room in our Austin office.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS AND POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS OF CHEST REJUVENATION?

Chest rejuvenation is a safe and dependable method for restoring a more youthful looking chest area. Complications are rare, as both Sculptra and BBL are non-invasive techniques, requiring no incisions or downtime. Side effects are minimal, but can include bruising, redness and minor swelling. These are easily concealed and will quickly diminish over the first week.

IS ANESTHESIA NECESSARY DURING MY CHEST REJUVENATION PROCEDURE?

Chest rejuvenation is not considered a painful technique; therefore, no anesthesia is needed. Sculptra is applied using a small needle, which may cause a fast pinch during the application. Nonetheless, a topical anesthetic is applied to the skin to help reduce any discomfort. Thus, BBL treatments are relatively comfortable for the patient.

HOW MUCH DOWNTIME IS REQUIRED AFTER A CHEST REJUVENATION SESSION?

No downtime is required after a chest rejuvenation treatment. Patients are normally back at work the same afternoon. While bruising, minor swelling, or redness may occur, this is easily concealed underneath clothing and will quickly resolve.

IS MORE THAN ONE CHEST REJUVENATION SESSION REQUIRED?

Depending on the extent of correction, most people will require three Sculptra treatments and four BBL treatments. Chest rejuvenation treatments should be spaced four to six weeks apart. This gives the tissue an adequate amount of time to heal in between treatment sessions.
