Board Certified Female Plastic Surgeon Specializing in Non-Surgical, Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Treatments
People of all ages experience constant effects from gravity, sun exposure, and stress. Both young and older patients can benefit from subtle interventions on a regular basis to restore, treat, and maintain a youthful and attractive appearance.
The addition of volume is an important adjunct in all patients undergoing facial rejuvenative procedures. In addition, patients who have undergone facial cosmetic surgery can maintain long-term results with regular non-invasive maintenance procedures.
To discuss non-surgical cosmetic treatments available at our Henderson, Nevada, office, please call 702-260-7707 today. Dr. Brown and her team are pleased to serve patients throughout the Las Vegas area.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
A common and popular injectable material that decreases muscular activity and when placed in certain areas on the face, reduces wrinkles, smoothes skin texture, shapes eyebrows, and appears to lift and tighten the skin. It can be used in younger patients to prevent deep wrinkles from developing and to lift and shape eyebrows. Asymmetries with respect to eyebrow position may be improved with BOTOX® Cosmetic. Frown lines and an angry look can be corrected.
Older patients benefit from BOTOX® Cosmetic to improve the appearance of wrinkles, creating a smoother, tighter appearance, eyebrow elevation, and a refreshed, well-rested appearance. It is also used as an adjunct to surgery to maintain results after certain surgical procedures, such as brow lifts and facelifts. It has no associated “down-time”, it is extremely safe, cost-effective, but effects are not permanent, lasting 3-6 months, so touch-ups are required. It can also be used to treat excessive sweating from the armpits, and may have a role in improving headaches.
Injectable Fillers
Many products are available to restore volume to the face, and fill wrinkles, depressions, or skin surface irregularities. Fillers plump up creased and sunken areas of the face providing a smoother, more youthful appearance. Some of the common fillers currently being used at Desert Hills Plastic Surgery Center are:
Often times, a combination of fillers is advised as some products work better in certain areas. Most products (with the exception of Bellafill and fat which can be long-lasting) are not permanent, which may be ideal; facial contours are always changing as a result of aging, gravitational forces, weight fluctuation, and facial movements. For this reason, touch up or maintenance procedures are required for long-lasting effects.
Common areas treated include the:
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette or oral commissure creases and depressions
- Vertical lip lines
- Lips
- Smile lines
- Jaw line, including the pre-jowl area and chin
- Cheeks
- Temporal hollows
Dr. Brown utilizes a three-dimensional approach to enhance the contours of the face naturally with the addition of volume, in addition to “wrinkle-filling”.
How much do injectable fillers cost? The price varies. Depending on the filler and the treatment areas, they cost between $800 and $1,200 per syringe at our practice.
Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation can be done as an isolated procedure or as part of general facial rejuvenation surgery. It can correct genetically thin lips or atrophic lips as a result of aging, lip asymmetry, volume differences between the upper and lower lips, as well as provide volume to reduce wrinkles around the mouth.
There are various methods to enhance the lips. Filler substances can be surgically placed or injected to increase lip volume. There are many different filler substances available, both natural and synthetic. All of these materials can also be used to fill wrinkles or facial contour irregularities.
