I worked with Dr. MacQuaid in the operating room for over four years and I can assure you that she possesses the talents necessary to consistently produce results of the highest quality. You will not be disappointed!” -JS
“While at Katzen, Dr. MacQuaid treated me with filler and did a FABULOUS job. I had been to other people for the same work with good results. But, Dr. MacQuaid’s were even better. Originally, I went to her for a consultation to see if I needed an eyelid lift. She very honestly told me “no”. I liked her honesty and tried her for the filler. I’m glad I did.” -anonymous
THE AGING FACE
Upper Eyelids: The skin on the upper eyelids is thin and loses elasticity as we age. This leads to excess skin and a tired appearance.
Lower Eyelids: The skin on the lower eyelids also stretches with time. The tensile strength of the eyelid decreases which results in a mild to moderate eyelid droop. Orbital fat protrudes which leads to a “puffy bag” on the lower eyelids. The volume around the eye also decreases leading to “hollowness” around the lower eyelids.
Eyebrows: With time, the soft fatty tissue beneath the eyebrows lessens. The fat in the temples also dissipates leading to a mild brow droop.
Midface: Loses volume and descends. Making the face look aged and tired. This creates lines around the mouth. A full midface creates a more youthful appearance.
Lips: Get thinner and lose volume as we age.
Nasolabial: The nasolabial lines is the line from the corner of your nose to the outer corner of the mouth. As we age, it becomes prominent because the midface droops and we lose volume.
Jawline: The jawline becomes less defined as we age.
