Understanding Facial Aging
As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and volume. This can cause wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and other visible signs of aging. While this process is natural, many people seek ways to rejuvenate their appearance and restore a more youthful look. Facial plastic surgery offers a range of procedures to address these concerns and enhance facial features.

Leigh Cornu2023-06-07 Not only is Colle a phenomenal esthetician and helped my skin look and feel better than it ever has in my life, I leave feeling better just having spent time with her. She is thoughtful, attentive, results motivated, kind and caring. She approaches any concerns I have with my skin as if they were her own and spends time and attention on making me , and my skin! feel and look the best it ever has. Can’t recommend her more! hayley andrews2023-03-24 I had the pleasure of working with Dr Barr for my recent rhinoplasty, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From our initial consultation, Dr Barr listened carefully to my concerns and worked with me to develop a plan that would achieve the look I wanted. She used photos to help me visualize the final outcome and ensure we were on the same page. The actual procedure itself was a breeze, thanks to Dr Barr's expertise and attention to detail. I was amazed at the transformation when I saw my nose for the first time at my first post-op appointment. Dr Barr did an outstanding job and exceeded my expectations. Overall, I highly recommend Dr Barr to anyone considering a rhinoplasty or other cosmetic procedure. Her talent, dedication, and compassion make her stand out among her peers, and I am grateful for her exceptional work K. C.2023-03-14 I traveled from Los Angeles to Salt Lake to have my blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) performed by Dr. Barr because I knew she was exceptionally qualified as an ENT facial plastic surgeon. I had a wonderful experience. Dr. Barr understood (better than I did) my desired outcomes and provided excellent alternatives to a mini-facelift (which I thought I needed). The blepharoplasty was amazingly pain-free with a local anesthetic, and I had minimal swelling and bruising. Because I work remotely, the only downtime I experienced was the afternoon of the procedure. A week after the operation, it was hard to tell that I had had any work done! Besides the blepharoplasty, my treatment included strategic filler, lightened melasma, and Kybella to shrink jowls. In addition, I started a round of EMface sessions (which I finished in LA) to lift and tone my facial muscles and skin. It's been a month, and the results are stunning. Because it takes the results of Kybella and EMface longer to fully appear, I feel like I am getting younger every day. All of the clinic staff I met were lovely. Elle guided me through the process and ensured that I always had the information and products I needed in her kind and timely manner. She deftly and efficiently provided laser treatment to help minimize bruising. Whitney conducted my EMface therapy, and her calm, confident approach created a relaxed environment during the sometimes bizarre sensations of the procedure. Dr. Barr had my best interest at heart when deciding which and how much of each product to use, and I would encourage anyone considering these types of treatments to get her opinion before having any work done. If I had known I was only a few weeks away from feeling this refreshed, I would have done it long ago! Jeff Motta2023-02-28 Very professional business and Rey was able to put me at rest and was very clear about what to expect and explained what I would experience with my procedure. I would recommend Rey Ilada to everyone. Thank you! V Vineela Maddukuri2023-02-28 Absolutely love it. Susan explains everything so diligently and recommends really good products. She never pushes me to buy them. She is very thorough in all the procedures. Kozy2022-10-04 Dr Lucy Barr did my rhinoplasty in April of this year and I’m over the moon with how amazing it is. Every step of the process was painless and I was given excellent care by her, her husband (Dr Sharma did my functionality surgery at the same time) and her staff. My results exceed my expectations. I’m so pleased! Dr Barr has also reconstructed my earlobes (I used to have them stretched big in the early 2000s) and I’ve also had laser work done on my pigmentation on my face. I see Susan for laser work, Chase for injections and Elle for facials. Every single member of this team is a gem. The office is clean and beautiful and every one is kind and the best in their field. Thank you for helping me to look my best, I genuinely love all of you. Diane Guido2022-09-21 I rarely make online comments/reviews, but I felt this was important. The experience I have had at Barr Aesthetics has been fabulous! Colle has been doing a Med-lite treatment with me, and it has truly made a difference in the overall texture and tone of my skin. Of course, everyone is different, but this has certainly done wonders for me. And, Colle has been such fun to meet with over the past couple of months (and so caring) that I just want to post something. Oh, also, they have a cute little sign in the front office that asks you not bring young kids with you to the waiting room....I so appreciate that! Thank you Dr. Barr, Colle, and the whole office staff for everything that you do! Diane
When Should You Worry About Aging Skin?
The first signs of aging become visible on the skin’s surface around age 25. And while with age comes wisdom, sometimes age comes with other side effects we don’t cherish as much.
In our practice, we most often see the signs of aging on the delicate skin of our clients’ necks and faces. Another natural result of aging is a loss of skin elasticity, also called elastosis, which is responsible for the formation of wrinkles and sagging skin. At Barr Aesthetics, we offer facial plastic surgery to address any concerns you have about your skin’s appearance.
In addition to the top layer of skin showing signs of aging, the connective tissue in our faces does as well. We see the effects of this in the ear lobes and even the tip of the nose. Some clients come into Barr because of drooping skin, and together we develop a surgical plan to improve elasticity and connective tissue integrity.
While some of these signs of age are simply cosmetic, others can affect the quality of life. It’s only natural to want to address these concerns, whether with plastic surgery or other means. Doing so not only gives back a feeling of youth but feelings of comfort in one’s skin again.
Other Natural Signs of Aging Skin
Elastosis isn’t the only sign that we’re aging; other common tells include:
- Skin thins, making veins more visible
- Loss of pigment cells (melanocytes) causing the skin to pale
- Existing melanocytes increase in size (resulting in “liver spots”)
- Skin bruises more easily
- Chronic dryness and/or itchiness
- Less active sweat glands
- New growths such as skin tags or warts
While some of these signs of age are simply cosmetic, others can affect your quality of life. It’s only natural to want to address these concerns, whether with plastic surgery or other means. Doing so not only gives back a feeling of youth but feelings of comfort in one’s skin again.
Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Plastic Surgery?
If you’re interested in pursuing facial plastic surgery to bring a more youthful look to your appearance, Barr Aesthetics can help you determine if you’re a good candidate. The recommendations from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons are as follows:
Non-smoker
Free from existing medical conditions that could hinder the body’s ability to recover from surgery
Ideally, those who undergo plastic surgery also have realistic expectations regarding what a skilled surgeon can perform. At Barr, we’ll discuss your goals and how we can achieve them together.
