- BotoxFacial injections are among the most in-demand non-surgical treatments, because these they produce dramatic yet predictable results with virtually no downtime. There are several categories of facial injections, including neuromodulation, fillers, and submental fat reducers. Neuromodulation, which include Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, and Xeomin, work by relaxing the muscles that create folds in the brows and forehead to smooth out wrinkles. Fillers include hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane, Restylane Silk, Restylane Lyft, Juvederm, Juvederm Voluma, Sculptra Aesthetic and Radiesse, which have replaced collagen injections of the past that often caused allergic reactions and other adverse side effects. Additionally, patients may add volume through fat injections following liposuction of another area of the body or natural collagen stimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse. Below you?ll get a look at what these injectable options can do for your facial appearance.
- Brow LiftBrow Lift – The brow lift procedure, also known as a forehead lift, addresses frown lines and forehead lines that can develop as you get older. As skin loses elasticity, muscles in the brow and forehead cause the skin to fold, creating wrinkles that can dramatically age your face. A brow lift will restore a youthful appearance by raising the brows and smoothing out creases*.

- LiposuctionA. The desire to improve our body contours has been around probably since Adam and Eve ate that apple. There were a lot of crazy devices for improving weight and posture long before we ever had liposuction, most of which did not help much. Fast forward to today. We still have liposuction, which is really the gold standard for fat removal and even fat repositioning. But now are able to also improve muscle strength at the same time as the reduction of body fat.
- Breast AugmentationBreast – Augmentation, Reduction, Lift – While breast augmentation is the most popular breast reshaping procedure, some patients will find favorable results from a simple lift or even a reduction. Lift and reduction procedures reshape and reposition the breasts without adding volume*, though the breasts will often appear more perky and proportional following surgery. Breast augmentation presents a wide range of options with various implant types and incision placements to create the most natural results in both look and feel.
- Breast LiftHowever, if there is a lot of breast droop (ptosis), then they may need to have both new implants placed and a simultaneous breast lift.
- RhinoplastyRhinoplasty – Rhinoplasty and nose recontouring can both address problems in the nose, including poor proportions with other facial features, unsightly bumps or ridges, and crookedness of the nose.

- Chemical PeelsFacial peels help to revitalize damaged skin by removing the outermost layers of skin through chemical treatment. Chemical peels can be light-removing just the stratum cornea on the very surface, or they can remove several layers of skin for more intense treatment to address wrinkles, dark spots, and heavy sun damage. In our practice, we utilize several different facial peels to meet the needs of our patients.
