With age, the skin can lose tissue elasticity and volume. This results in lax tissue that sags, and forms fine lines and deep wrinkles. As the fat deposits below the eyes and across the cheeks diminish, the face is left looking hollow, with sharp, tired features. Not only does the face look older, the appearance can become unhappy and unhealthy. Top Virginia Beach cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Kyle Choe, has an answer for the early signs of aging: Juvederm injectable gel.
