Skin Laxity as an Aesthetic Concern

As we age, our bodies’ natural collagen and elastin production declines. This leads to loose skin, a well-established mark of age. Patients now have a wide array of both surgical and nonsurgical treatments to remove excess skin, improve skin texture and tone, restore volume, and more. With Dr. Phelps’ expertise, you can find a procedure that delivers your skin-tightening and rejuvenation goals.

Our Philosophy

The Winnetka Aesthetic Studio treatment philosophy centers on the idea that meaningful rejuvenation requires more than just a quick fix. It requires an understanding of how the eyelids, brows, midface, neck, and skin interact to express emotions and exude confidence. Dr. Phelps and his team approach every patient with a detailed evaluation of structure, symmetry, and tissue quality to ensure that each recommendation aligns with the individual’s goals and facial proportions. This assessment allows us to create outcomes that feel natural, balanced, and consistent over time. Both Winnetka Aesthetic Studio and Chicago Oculofacial Plastic Surgery emphasize education and collaboration, offering their patients clear explanations about each treatment and addressing their concerns.

Treatments Offered at the Winnetka Aesthetic Studio

The Winnetka Aesthetic Studio offers aesthetic skin treatments that can enhance or entirely transform your appearance, including:

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to rejuvenate the eye area by correcting various aesthetic concerns in the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure targets droopy eyelids, saggy skin, puffy under-eye bags, and skin laxity, all of which can make your eyes appear tired or aged. Upper blepharoplasty removes the excess skin and contours the upper eyelid crease, which reduces the excess skin that droops onto the eye, while a lower blepharoplasty can address under-eye bags, excess fat, or laxity. (1) This procedure helps restore a youthful and refreshed appearance while tightening the skin around the eyes.

Face and Neck Lift

A face and neck lift is a surgical procedure that reverses signs of aging by removing the excess tissue in the face and neck while lifting the skin to create a tighter and more contoured appearance. (2) This procedure offers natural-looking and long-lasting results for patients seeking a more youthful appearance. Dr. Phelps assesses structural support, volume distribution, neck banding, and jawline definition to determine which techniques can provide the strongest results based on your anatomy. With his careful technique, Dr. Phelps helps patients reset the clock on their appearance with tight skin, sharp jawlines, and rejuvenated features.

Skin Rejuvenation

Skin rejuvenation services at Winnetka Aesthetic Studio provide a nonsurgical approach to a brighter complexion, tightened skin, smoother texture, and improved firmness. Treatments that rejuvenate the skin are resurfacing techniques, advanced skin care analyses, and options that promote healthier collagen activity. One of the most powerful and long-lasting skin rejuvenation treatments is carbon dioxide laser resurfacing. These treatments complement surgical procedures by maintaining the integrity of the skin and preserving a youthful appearance long after initial improvement. If you are struggling with lax skin, unwanted blemishes, poor texture, or more, then a personalized skin rejuvenation treatment can benefit you.

Brow Contour

Brow contouring can significantly influence facial expression after aging brings brow sagging and heaviness over the eyelids. Dr. Phelps offers a brow lift procedure that reshapes the eyebrows and smooths and tightens the forehead to create a more youthful and tightened appearance, and a browpexy, which is less invasive than a traditional brow lift and stabilizes and elevates the position of the brows. He delivers symmetry and refined eyelid structure that helps restore the natural shape and openness of the brows.

Fat Grafting

Changes in midface and periorbital volume can influence your facial contour and overall structure. Facial volume loss can have several causes, the most common being the natural aging process. Fat grafting to the face and eyelids helps enhance facial appearance by transferring fat from one area of the body to facial regions. Fat grafting can restore balance and enhance youthful contours by adjusting or supplementing natural volume. (3) This can also help the skin tighten, as added volume forces it to adapt to new contours.
