The skin becomes less elastic, volume decreases, and deeper tissues can sag. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can lead to several characteristics:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a tired look<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>loss of facial volume<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>folds around the mouth and nose<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sagging of the jawline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>slackening of the neck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facial rejuvenation focuses on restoring balance, contour, and freshness without losing the natural expression of the face.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is facial rejuvenation appropriate?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facial rejuvenation can be considered when changes in the face become bothersome and no longer correspond with how a person feels.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common complaints include:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>heavy eyelids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sagging cheeks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>jowls along the jawline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>loss of volume in the midface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a less defined transition between the jaw and neck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appropriate treatment depends on the anatomy, skin quality, the degree of sagging, and the desired result.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the face age?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facial aging does not only occur in the skin. Fatty tissue, ligaments, muscles, and bone structures also change gradually. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key changes include:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>loss of skin elasticity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sagging of deeper tissues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>loss of volume in the cheeks, temples, or jawline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>changes in the bone structure of the face<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, modern facial surgery focuses not only on excess skin but also on the underlying structures that determine the shape and expression of the face.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Options for facial rejuvenation<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the areas that have changed, various treatments can be considered.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drcolle.be\/en\/dienst\/facelift\/\" data-type=\"dienst\" data-id=\"760\">Facelift<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A facelift primarily corrects sagging of the mid and lower face.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure can help with:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sagging cheeks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>jowls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>deeper folds around the mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a less firm jawline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a facelift, the deeper tissues are repositioned and excess skin is removed in a natural way.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drcolle.be\/en\/dienst\/neck-lift\/\" data-type=\"dienst\" data-id=\"767\">Neck lift<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A neck lift focuses on the neck and the transition between the jawline and the neck.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This procedure may be indicated for:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>excess skin in the neck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fat accumulation under the chin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>visible neck bands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a less sharp jawline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A neck lift is often combined with a facelift to rejuvenate the face and neck as a single entity.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drcolle.be\/categorie-diensten\/ooglidcorrectie\/\" data-type=\"categorie-diensten\" data-id=\"52\">Eyelid surgery<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eyes strongly determine whether someone looks fresh, tired, or older.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An eyelid correction can help with:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>excess skin of the upper eyelid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a tired look<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>heavy eyelids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>limitation of the field of vision due to overhanging skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is a more open look, without changing the natural shape of the eyes.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drcolle.be\/en\/dienst\/lip-lift\/\" data-type=\"dienst\" data-id=\"798\">Lip lift<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With age, the distance between the nose and the upper lip can increase, making the upper lip less visible.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lip lift can:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>make the upper lip more visible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>improve the ratio between the nose and the lip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>refine the mouth region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure is often chosen when the upper lip appears longer or flatter.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drcolle.be\/en\/dienst\/facial-lipofilling\/\" data-type=\"dienst\" data-id=\"781\">Facial lipofilling<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to skin laxity, volume loss plays a significant role in facial aging.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In lipofilling, one&#8217;s own fat is used to restore volume in areas such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cheeks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>temples<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>jawline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This technique can give the face more softness and contour again, using the body&#8217;s own tissue.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drcolle.be\/en\/dienst\/chin-and-jawline-contouring\/\" data-type=\"dienst\" data-id=\"763\">Chin and jawline contouring<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chin and jawline play an important role in the profile of the face.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chin and jawline contouring can help with:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a receding chin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a poorly defined jawline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a less clear transition between the face and neck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a profile that appears less balanced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the anatomy, this can be achieved with lipofilling, a chin implant, or liposuction of the double chin.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combination of procedures<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facial aging is rarely limited to a single area. Therefore, treatments are often combined to achieve a natural and balanced result. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common combinations include:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>facelift and neck lift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>eyelid surgery and facelift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lipofilling combined with a facelift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>chin or jawline correction during profile correction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the consultation, it will be determined which combination best suits the anatomy and the desired result.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural result<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of modern facial surgery is not to change the face, but to restore the original balance and freshness.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A natural result takes into account:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the individual anatomy of the face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the balance between different facial zones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the preservation of expression and character<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a subtle correction of aging changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every treatment is therefore tailored to the patient&#8217;s face, not to a standard ideal.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal consultation<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a consultation, the following will be discussed in detail:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>which areas of the face have changed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>which techniques are possible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>which results are realistic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on this, a personal treatment plan is drawn up, tailored to your anatomy, skin quality, and expectations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we age, the face changes on multiple levels: the skin loses elasticity, volume decreases, and deeper tissues can sag.
