Would I be a good candidate for lip filler?
Lip Filler
Nov 14, 2016
Elizabeth,

Hi there, from just looking at your pictures you have beautiful lips, but I can see your concern. Usually lips are proportioned smaller on the top and bigger on the bottom ,but with time and aging this can all change. We tend to lose volume and that beautiful rosy color, but that's where filler can correct some of those losses. I would suggest you make a consultation with the injector of your choice. By doing this you can discuss your options that best fits your...

What lasts longer; a filler or fat grafting and what is more price efficient?
Filler or FFG
Nov 14, 2016
Alex,

This is a great question and what I always suggest to my patients is to first get a filler to make sure you like that look. And since product filler isn't permanent it will give you an idea as to what fat grafting will look like, but with a temporarily result. I am a advocate for facial fat grafting, because it does deliver a longer lasting result with minimal tweaking. Although as time goes on aging takes over meaning you might need a tone up from time to time, but nothing...

Why do doctors put more lip filler in the upper lip than in the bottom lip?
Lip Injections
Nov 14, 2016
Hi Layla,

To answer your question it really just depends on the injector. Most of the time the Dr./nurse injector will put most of the product in the lower lip due to the fact that most people's upper lip in smaller in size to start with. A lot of clients don't want the done up look with tons of product in their lips. The more subtle look is key or the more "natural look" with slight enhancement due to aging. With future appointments I suggest you talk it out with your injector to make...

I'm a kidney transplant patient (3+ months), is it safe to get a small amount of Botox between my eyeb
Botox and Kidney Transplant

Spudmom,

There is no contraindication getting Botox, but you always want to consult with your transplant doctor/team to make sure you aren't on any medication that will cause concern.

Chipmunk Cheeks - botox or buccal lipectomy?
Botox or Buccal Lipectomy?
Oct 27, 2016
This is a common problem that creates a square jawline and can be treated with Botox for hypertrophy (or growth) of the masseter muscle which lasts 3-4 months, or excision (or removal) through an intraoral (inside the mouth) incision. This is more predictable, but carries the risk of nerve injury or dry mouth.
