Would botox soften my jaw line?

Botox for Jawline Shaping
Jun 24, 2016

Enlargement of the clench muscles (masseter muscles) of the lower jaw is common. Overuse of the clench muscles often occurs during sleep, and therefore reoccurs every night.Botox can reduce the intensity of the clenching and, with repeated use, can cause the masseter muscles to get smaller due to atrophy. In my clinic, I have never seen problems with speech or eating with my Botox protocol.Injectable fillers are often added to balance the overall shape of the face, after the masseter muscles…

Does Sculptra work well under the eyes to increase collagen?

Sculptra in the Cheeks Improves the Contour of the Lower Eyelid Region
Jun 23, 2016

Sculptra is a unique filler in that it stimulates your own body to produce new collagen. I often begin in the cheek region to replace what is missing and to “anchor” the upper cheek. After over 10 years of experience, I find that a strategic correction of the cheek contour can also significantly improve the appearance of the lower eyelid area.

Facelift scars; how long does it take scars near ears to go away?

Facelift Scars Improve with Fraxel treatments
Jun 21, 2016

In my practice, I treat all the facelift incisions with the Fraxel restore resurfacing laser, after surgery. The Fraxel restore has been studied and has been found to improve the appearance of surgical scars after several treatments. My patients are very receptive to the treatments and have good reviews of the outcomes.

Can a blephaplasy be done twice, 18 years apart? I heard somewhere it couldn’t

Repeat Eyelid Surgery and Aging of the Midface
Jun 10, 2016

Often, lower eyelid surgery can be successfully repeated. However, after 18 years there is also more aging present in the mid-face than ever before. With time and especially after menopause, a comprehensive approach to the effects of facial aging is also in order.I have seen that the cheek elevation which occurs with a facelift has more impact than repeat eye surgery.

Malar bags still present after lower blepharoplasty. Treatment?

Malar Bags are Anatomically Different than Lower Eyelid Bags
Jun 10, 2016

Most lower eyelid surgery is done when membrane holding the fatty tissue around the eyeball gets weak and allows the fat to bulge. The eyeball fat is soft and is above the lower bony margin of the eye socket. However, malar bulges on the cheek itself (there is bone directly under the malar bag) are not often corrected with lower eyelid surgery. Eyelid surgery itself causes some swelling and this can make the malar bag area look more swollen until the healing is complete.

What is best filler to use under eyes in the tear trough area and to help with a sunken look

Some Available Treatments for Under Eye Hollows
Dec 14, 2015

The ‘best’ way to get a correction with a filler for the under eye hollows is to have some who can understand your facial contours. It is best to consider the entire midface when choosing a filler for correction.Add Cheek Volume – loss of volume in the cheek is a common. Voluma or Sculptra are fillers which can support the cheek contours.Fill the Cheek-Eyelid Groove – Belotero is a very thin injectable gel filler and works well to soften the eye hollows. This filler does not have a…

Do you have any imaging that would show what I would look like after a facelift? How much is

Patients Find Computerized Imaging Helpful
Oct 21, 2015

Imaging is a useful tool for patients seeking a facelift. I
use my own hands to gently lift the tissues and then ‘overlay’ the lifted image
onto the before image. I find that if I lift too much, it distorts the
features. Therefore, the images created
in our consultation have a good likeness to the predicted results. People who
inquire about cosmetic surgery are ‘visual’ learners and much can be learned
from the imaging session. Patients often say they don’t relate to images…

I am booked in for a facelift – how soon after will I be able to drive?

Driving after a Facelift
Oct 21, 2015

An important task with driving is head turning. Usually after a facelift, which includes a necklift, there is some restriction with head turning which usually lasts from 5-7 days up to two weeks. Even then, it is a good idea to turn from your body as well as your neck. Of course, you should not drive if taking pain medications or sedatives.

Am I a good Candidate for Botox if I am only 32 and don’t have very visible wrinkles? I want

Botox for the Digital Generation
Sep 16, 2015

Botox has been shown to be among one of the most powerful ways to prevent wrinkles, along with consistent use of sunscreen and sunglasses. The younger generation has a real opportunity to delay the onset of skin wrinkles occurring in the upper face with a strategic program – and Botox is one of them.

Will Juvederm fillers fix my mental crease? If so, how will the fillers affect my chin shape

Sculptra is a Good Option for the Chin Area
Aug 4, 2015

Sculptra is a dermal filler which works over time to stimulate new collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. I offer Sculptra as a good option for those people who feel that gel fillers may cause some distortion when they smile. The good news with Sculptra is that the effects occur gradually so that the treatments can be precisely planned to create the proper amount of filling. Sculptra results are long-lasting, and the resulting growth in new collagen naturally contours the chin.

How to have a more defined jaw line?

Dermal Fillers Can Enhance the Jawline
Jul 23, 2015

Dermal fillers can provide a non-surgical enhancement to the jawline. The good news in using dermal fillers to augment the chin and jawline are:the patient can “try on” the new look, andthe result is instantaneous.Some of the dermal fillers are long-lasting, so it can be easy to maintain your result by having a maintenance injection as little as once a year.

Eyebags and long, flat face. What can be done?

Combination Treatments can Maximize the Results
Jul 13, 2015

I believe the best long-term answer for the fatty protrusion of the fat under the eyes is a lower blepharoplasty with orbital fat re-positioning. This procedure decreases the strong under eye shadows. Thereafter, fillers can make up the remaining volume with consistent results.

Should I add an upper blepharoplasty to my facelift?

Simultaneous Procedures at Surgery
Jun 24, 2015

In general, simultaneous procedures are an advantage to patients as they can recover from multiple procedures at one time.Some considerations for multiple procedures:Older patients and patients with other medical conditions need to discuss the total length of the operating time with their surgeon, andRecovery for multiple procedures will be slightly more than single procedures.

How soon after a facelift, neck lift and upper and lower blepharoplasty (subcillary incision

Fraxel Restore after a Facelift
Jun 24, 2015

I routinely perform Fraxel restore laser skin resurfacing to all of my facelft incisions starting 4-6 weeks after surgery. Fraxel restore is a non-ablative laser for skin resurfacing and can be adjusted in power and intensity (density). Fraxel restore is indicated to help remodel the healing tissue of incisions and scars.If the Fraxel is well tolerated on the incisions, a physician well-trained in the skin’s response to laser treatments can determine when is the right time to treat the…

How does PS know how much to cut?

Skin Removal with Facelift
Jun 24, 2015

The amount of skin removed during a facelift is determined after the underlying tissues are elevated and suspended. The ‘drape’ of the fabric of the skin needs to be taken in account as the skin of the face and neck is re-positioned prior to the removal of skin excess.Importantly, the stretched and pulled look of the past is not a desired outcome. Too much pull or tension on the skin can lead to difficulties in healing. I speak to patients in terms of tailoring the skin excess, similar to…
