Fillers
such as Juvederm and
Restylane are a fast, safe,
nonsurgical way to reduce
the appearance of facial
lines and wrinkles. The
procedure is performed in
our office. Specifically,
you can smooth facial lines,
wrinkles and scars, and also
enhance the lip border in
just one treatment session,
and see immediate, visible
results!
Also consider the use of
your own fat! We can
harvest a small amount of
your tummy fat and re-inject
it into your lips or other
facial lines for a beautiful
contour and enhancement.
Remember, the fat is a graft
and some of the fat may not
last. At least some of the
fat graft should take and
has the potential to be
permanent.
The
advantages of fat injections
are:
- It's your own
tissue, therefore
rejection or loss of the
tissue is rare.
- The procedure can be
done under a local or
mild sedation.
- The results are
evident immediately and
should last for many
years to come.
- The recovery is
rapid. Some swelling and
a light bruise may
occur.
- Return to work the
next day.
Keep in mind that the
procedure may need to be
repeated to achieve the best
most long lasting results.
How do I get started?
Schedule a consultation
in our facility. You will
meet with one of our board
certified plastic surgeons.
We will assist you with the
decision of which procedure
or product to use.
Facial Fillers (Juvederm
& Restylane):
Excellent product for the
treatment of the nasal folds
and marionette lines and
fine lines around the mouth.
The lip can be enhanced with
these products. No skin
testing is needed. We will
apply a lidocaine topical
cream to begin the numbing
process. Can be done the
same day as your
consultation. Some swelling
and minor bruising can
occur. Hold your aspirin and
vitamin E for a few days
before this treatment.
Facial Implant by
SurgiSil:
This implant can be
placed into the upper and
lower lips for a more
permanent lip enhancement.
This is a patented, FDA
approved device that has
undergone extensive clinical
testing to ensure its safety
and efficacy. Perma Facial
implant is made of a soft,
solid silicone elastomer
using an injection molding
process to produce a
naturally contoured implant
with a smooth, non-porous
surface that cannot rupture
or deflate. Although
permanent, Perma Facial
Implant may be easily
removed at any time.
The procedure can be
performed in a simple office
setting under local
anesthesia. The entire
process can take less than
thirty minutes and normal
activity may be resumed the
following day. Perma Facial
Implants are available in a
variety of sizes to achieve
customized results.
