What Are Facial Aesthetic Treatments?
Facial aesthetic treatments are cosmetic procedures that can soften wrinkles, restore lost facial fullness, or improve the look of the eyelids. Some options are nonsurgical and involve injections. Others, such as blepharoplasty, are surgical procedures that can correct loose or sagging eyelid skin.
Milwaukee Eye Surgeons provides several options, including:
- BOTOX Cosmetic for expression lines and wrinkles
- JUVÉDERM fillers for age-related volume loss
- Blepharoplasty for sagging upper or lower eyelids
Your treatment plan depends on your facial anatomy, concerns, medical history, and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Weinlander can explain whether injectables, surgery, or a combined approach may be appropriate.
BOTOX Cosmetic for Facial Wrinkles
BOTOX Cosmetic can reduce wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement. These lines may appear between the brows, across the forehead, or near the outer corners of the eyes.
BOTOX Cosmetic works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. When those muscles contract less forcefully, the overlying skin can appear smoother. Results are not permanent, so maintenance treatments may be recommended if you want to keep your results over time.
This injectable may be a good fit if you are bothered by dynamic wrinkles but are not ready for surgery.
JUVÉDERM Fillers for Facial Volume and Softness
JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that can restore softness and fullness in areas affected by age-related volume loss. Hyaluronic acid is already present in the skin, where it helps retain moisture and support a smoother, fuller look.
Appointment length varies based on the areas being treated, but many filler visits can be completed in a short office appointment. Because JUVÉDERM injections involve little downtime for most patients, you may be able to return to work or other routine activities soon after your visit.
Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising can occur near the injection sites. To support healing, patients may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and direct sun exposure for the first 24 hours after treatment.
JUVÉDERM may be used for concerns such as facial folds, hollowing, or areas that have lost youthful fullness.
Blepharoplasty for Sagging Eyelids
Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, or fat from the upper or lower eyelids. For some patients, this procedure is cosmetic. For others, heavy upper eyelid skin may interfere with vision or make the eyes feel tired.
Because blepharoplasty involves the delicate eye area, it is important to work with a physician who understands both eyelid appearance and eye health. During your consultation, Dr. Weinlander can examine your eyelids, discuss your symptoms, and explain whether surgery may be appropriate.
Patients often consider blepharoplasty if they have:
- Loose or drooping upper eyelid skin
- Puffy lower eyelids
- A tired or heavy-eyed look
- Eyelid skin that affects peripheral vision
- Concerns that cannot be corrected with injectables alone

FAQs About Facial Aesthetics
BOTOX Cosmetic treats wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. JUVÉDERM is a dermal filler that restores lost fullness or softens deeper folds. Some patients benefit from one option, while others may be better suited to a combined treatment plan.
Injectables may help if your concerns are related to wrinkles, mild facial volume loss, or early signs of aging. Blepharoplasty may be more appropriate if loose eyelid skin, puffiness, or eyelid heaviness is the main issue. A consultation can help determine which option fits your anatomy and goals.
Downtime depends on the treatment. BOTOX Cosmetic and JUVÉDERM usually involve minimal interruption to your routine, though temporary swelling or bruising can occur.
