BOTOX IN HOUSTON TX

Botox is not only one of the most extensively studied aesthetic treatments, it is also the only approved prescription treatment used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and “crow’s feet”. Over time, repeated movements of the skin between the brows and muscles around your eyes cause the formation of lines.

With Botox, the frown lines and crow’s feet are reduced, not your facial expressions. With a small injection into targeted muscles, the movement of the muscles that make the lines appear is reduced, thus improving the appearance of the skin. A few days after injection, you will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet and frown lines between your brows. The expected results last approximately 4 months.

KYBELLA

The “double chin” can be addressed now with non-surgical injections of Kybella. Treatments vary depending on the targetted surface area. There are usually 2-4 injection sites using a cannula to apply the injection. Each treatment is 6 weeks apart and total treatments can vary between 2 to 6 treatments. Generally, the area that is treated with Kybella will not accumulate fat as the cells have been degraded.

Kybella is FDA approved for the neck but it has been found to work on that stubborn under-arm/bra fat as well! The active ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps in the breakdown and absorption of fat. The fat dissolves and is then excreted by the kidneys and intestines.

Treatment involves injection of the acid underneath the skin in the area of excess fat. Injections take 4-5 minutes. After treatment, there can be some pain, swelling, and bruising for a few days. Most patients will need 2-4 vials of Kybella injected into each area over a span of 2 visits (6 weeks apart) to obtain optimal results.

FILLERS

Aging is a part of life, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a natural looking treatment regimen. Here at Lift Plastic Surgery, we offer a wide array of injectable treatment options for the restoration and improvement of the face. Some of the products we offer include: Restylane, Voluma, Vollure Volbella and Juvederm.

Restylane, a hyaluronic acid, has several targeted treatments for facial tissue. Their new Refyne and Defyne products are designed for mid-to-deep injections for the correction of facial wrinkles and folds such as “smile lines” (nasolabial folds). It is formulated to act like your body’s own naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, and ads restorative volume to the shape of your facial expressions. Volbella XC and Restylane Silk is specifically formulated to soften and fill the fine lines around the mouth and lips. It can also add structure and definition to your lips for a fuller, more plump look. Restylane Lyft was developed for use in nasolabial folds, for cheek augmentation, and correction of age-related midface changes.

Voluma XC is used to lift and contour your cheeks. As we age, we not only lose fat and collagen, but the overall tissue volume of our face as well.

Juvederm, also a hyaluronic acid, also has multiple products which allows customization of your treatment plan. Juvederm and Juvederm Ultra are used in the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Adding the volume back not only maintains your youthful appearance, but also makes your results looks soft and natural.

The expected results last for:

Restylane, Juvederm, Volbella: up to 1 year

Vollure XC: up to 18 months

Voluma XC: up to 2 years

How many treatments are required to see a result?

Usually 2-3 treatments that are 4-6 weeks apart

What is recovery like?

Naturally, there is some swelling occurs that occurs over the first 48-72 hours as water is drawn to the area, and then gradually subsides. Bruising may occur, but should resolve within 5-7 days.
