What Is Prejuvenation?

Happy Monday. I was going to make a reel about revision rhinoplasty versus primary rhinoplasty, how they're totally different animals, just not even the same surgery. We'll do that later. I want to talk about a different concept: prejuvenation.

Everybody knows rejuvenation, right? I mean, you let things go, things have sagged, skin has sun damage, etc. Now you get rejuvenated. Prejuvenation is preventing the need for rejuvenation, and it works so much better. If you do a little bit here and there throughout your life to prevent lines and wrinkles, to prevent skin damage, to reverse it as it's happening, you're going to delay the need for a major surgery later on in life. And if you do get a surgery, one, you push it back, and when you do get the surgery, you get a better result, better longevity, better long-lasting results. Versus somebody who's let it all go and all of a sudden wakes up at age 60 or 70 and says, now I want to rejuvenate.

So Botox earlier on in life, light chemical peels, lasers, BBL, which is the same as IPL but better, at-home skincare, fillers, and yes, fillers. Everybody's scared of fillers because of some nonsense going around Instagram about migration and longevity and stuff. Total nonsense. Fillers done properly, nano fat injections, micro fat injections, etc. All of these things help. Microneedling, Morpheus, all of this stuff helps.

And in 22 years of having patients ask me, what's the one thing? What's the one laser? What's the one product? There is no one thing. There is no one thing. People that look their best are doing everything all the time, but at different times.

You're not going to do 10 different things at the same time, but you're going to stagger them and do them at different times, and you're going to redo them, refresh them. You're not going to do microneedling three times and then never do it ever again. You're not going to just do Morpheus and then never ever do it again. You're not going to expect Morpheus to be the answer to everything. You have to do a lot of things at different times, but little things. Things that don't have a lot of downtime. Things that don't destroy everything.

Prejuvenation. That's the name of the game. That is aging gracefully. Doing nothing is not aging gracefully. That's just aging. Aging gracefully is doing this stuff so that you age well. Prejuvenation.
