PLASTIC SURGERY
QWHAT ARE SOME OF THE LATEST ADVANCES IN FACIAL REJUVENATION?
I’m a plastic surgeon who has practiced in the area since 1998. At no other time in my career have there been so many great procedures and technologies for facial rejuvenation. I have fallen in love with some of the non-surgical injectable treatments I use. They are neuromodulators such as Xeomin, Botox, Belotero, and Radiesse.

Belotero is excellent for fine lines and lip enhancement; Radiesse significantly improves deep folds around the mouth; Botox reduces facial wrinkles; and Xeonin helps improve crow’s feet, forehead creases, and frown lines between the eyebrows while also restoring lost volume around the mouth.
In addition to injectable treatments, I also perform a mini face and neck lift with smart liposuction of the neck and jowls. As we grow older, the effects of gravity play a role in developing a turkey neck. That means we have sagging jowls and sagging, loose, and wobbly skin on the cheek. Your neck gives your age away, but unfortunately the neck is one of the most widely neglected parts of our body. My procedure is performed using oral sedation and local anesthesia— which eliminates both the risks and costs of general anesthesia.
Here’s something else my patients appreciate. Whether they are receiving an injectable or undergoing a mini face and neck lift, all procedures are performed in the comfort of my office. Eliminating the hospital admissions process makes the overall experience less stressful and more convenient for patients.
