Why Do I Always Look Angry or Tired?
Premature signs of aging not only make you look older than your actual age, but they also tend to communicate feelings that may belie your true emotions. It’s not uncommon for men and women to take on a stressed, fatigued, or angry visage due to reduced collagen and elastin production negatively affecting skin quality. These emotions are often communicated unintentionally through the development of:
- Frown lines
- Sagging or drooping skin along the forehead
- Creases along the brow, which may appear while the face is in motion or at rest
- Fine lines surrounding the corners of the eyelids, also known as “crow’s feet”
If you believe you constantly look exhausted or angry even while feeling fully rested, you may consider utilizing aesthetic treatments to bring your inner vitality to the surface. Dr. Wesley Schooler, an acclaimed board-certified plastic surgeon in Santa Barbara, provides both surgical and non-surgical solutions to help you look as refreshed and energetic as you feel. Potential treatments include:
- Brow lift: As the most effective and long-lasting option to soften signs of aging in the upper face, brow lift surgery can be an excellent way to lift drooping brows and restore them to a more youthful, rejuvenated position. Frown lines and horizontal brow creases are also reduced in the process, giving patients the long-term facial rejuvenation they desire.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic: If you’re not ready for a procedure or you simply prefer to avoid surgery, BOTOX® Cosmetic may be ideal. These quick, in-office injections temporarily relax overactive facial muscles, thereby smoothing frown lines and other wrinkles making you appear tired or displeased.
Dr. Wesley Schooler understands the desire to continue looking rested and energetic as you age and offers several surgical and non-surgical treatments to alleviate a stressed, fatigued, or angry appearance.
