Non-Surgical Procedures
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® is now the most widely performed cosmetic procedure in the United States. BOTOX® produces its effects by weakening the muscles that create wrinkles. It works in the forehead, in crows’ feet, around wrinkles in the mouth and for cording (turkey gobbler!) in the neck. It lasts for approximately three to six months. BOTOX® is injected relatively painlessly using a variety of techniques right in our office.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers may be used to create a more rested, youthful appearance by filling in some of the hollows of the face, such as the lines around the mouth, vertical lip lines, or even dark circles beneath the eyes. Common products used for treatment are Juvéderm®, Xeomin®, and Radiesse® injectables.
Surgical Procedures
Blepharoplasty “Eyelid Lift”
Upper and lower eyelid Blepharoplasty is a procedure that involves sculpture of the upper and lower eyelids. The upper eyelid crease can be recreated and made more graceful; the corners of the eye can be gently elevated if desired. The incisions are hidden in the eyelid creases, or on the back surface of the eyelid (conjunctiva), using a transconjunctival approach. If desired, the hollow beneath the lower eyelids (the tear trough) can also be filled in with fat. The procedure generally takes one to two hours. Sutures are placed that usually dissolve on their own. Postoperatively, there is surprisingly little pain with bruising that can last up to one week. Full activities may be resumed after a week.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Patients who feel they have drooping of the upper eyelids often have drooping of the brows. Brow drooping can be corrected with a procedure known as an Endoscopic Brow Lift. The brow lift is performed using a small telescope through five incisions, approximately one-half inch in size, hidden in the hairline. Patients can expect to be swollen for approximately five days. The operation is accomplished under monitored anesthesia with sedation. The procedure is often performed to remove upper eyelid skin and sculpture the fat pads in the upper eyelids (upper Blepharoplasty). The procedure is often accompanied by Endoscopic Mid-Facelift and occasionally by fat injection (lip sculpture).
