Despite the uniform excellent results, understanding the limitations of face/neck lifting and the need to utilize other procedures is crucial for success.

The surgery can take 2-4 hours, usually performed under intravenous sedation and without any discomfort. Following surgery, a dressing is applied to protect the face and is removed the day after.

BOTOX has enjoyed growing popularity over the last few years as an effective treatment for lateral crow’s feet and frown lines. Injected through the skin into the underlying muscle, BOTOX works by paralyzing the muscles responsible for causing the wrinkles. Since the muscle cannot continue to function, lines soften and in some instances, are eliminated. BOTOX is not permanent, lasting anywhere between four to six months. It is often used in conjunction with other skin refinishing treatments for maximum results.
BOTOX Risks & Reactions
Risks include an allergic reaction to the toxin, swelling, redness, bruising, numbness, and headaches. Rarely, a reduced blinking […]

Endoscopic face-lifts can rejuvenate the face using tiny incisions without any cutting and pasting of the skin.
In the past, many people waited until they were in their late 50s and 60s, with noticeably aging skin, before they even […]
