Happy National Botox Day! 💉
Botox isn’t just about smoothing fine lines and wrinkles; it has many additional medical benefits too!
Benefits of Botox include:
✨ Migraines: Botox can help reduce the frequency of migraines, especially for people who experience headaches 15 or more days per month.Â
✨ Excessive sweating: Botox can help with excessive sweating, also known as Hyperhidrosis, by paralyzing the muscles around sweat glands.Â
✨ Eye problems: Botox can correct physical eye problems like lazy eye, crossed eyes, and rapid eye blinking.Â
✨ Neck spasms: Botox can help with neck spasms, also known as Cervical Dystonia, which can cause the neck muscles to contract uncontrollably.Â
✨ Jaw tension: Botox can help with jaw tension and TMJ by reducing muscle activity in the masseter muscle.

✨ Post-surgery care is key to achieving your best results! ✨
Here are a few tips to help minimize scar visibility:
1. Follow Post-Operative Instructions Carefully!
This typically includes keeping incisions clean, avoiding strenuous activities, and wearing recommended tissue-healing support garments if needed.
2. Use Silicone-Based Products!
Applying silicone sheets or gels can reduce scar thickness and discoloration. These products create a protective barrier to maintain moisture levels and promote smoother skin regeneration.
3. Massage Gently!
Once cleared by your plastic surgeon, gently massaging the scar tissue can improve circulation and flexibility to soften or fade scars.
4. Protect from Sun Exposure!
Exposing healing scars to sunlight can cause darkening and prolong the healing process. Use SPF, a broad-spectrum sunscreen, and cover the area appropriately when spending time outdoors.
5. Consider Advanced Treatments!
Treatments like laser therapy or microdermabrasion may benefit persistent or prominent scars more. These treatments can enhance skin texture and color, making scars less noticeable. Always consult with your plastic surgeon before pursuing additional treatments.
Remember, patience is part of the process! ❤️

Ever wonder how plastic surgeons create custom facial implants? 🤔
Plastic surgeons will use a CT scan of your face and work with engineers to surgically design and plan the custom implants. The models and implants are created with a 3D printer, which are then used in the operating room. The implants can be made with a number of different materials, for example titanium or PEEK (Polyetheretherketone). The main advantage of Virtual Surgical Planning is being able to customize the surgical plan to the patient’s anatomy and goals. ✨

Liposuction VS. Tummy Tuck, what’s the difference? 👀
Although they can target similar areas, they target different needs. Let’s talk about it! ✨
✍️ Liposuction is ideal for removing stubborn fat deposits, offering targeted sculpting without major surgery. This procedure removes unwanted and excess fat from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck through tiny incisions. This is a less invasive procedure and has a quicker recovery time as compared to a tummy tuck. A liposuction is usually performed on people who are close to their ideal weight and have firm skin.
✍️ A Tummy Tuck goes deeper, targeting abdominal muscles and removing excess skin for a firmer, smoother appearance. A Tummy Tuck is the common term given to Abdominoplasty, a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen through a larger incision. The goal of this procedure is a smoother, flatter, well-defined abdomen and, in some cases, to restore weakened muscles of the abdomen. It’s typically performed on people who have lost a significant amount of weight or have gone through pregnancy.

Can you spot the difference between the before and after? 🔍
This patient wanted and underwent a subtle, natural-looking lip lift to improve the height and proportions of her upper lip and the amount of tooth show. Post-op, the surgical site scar is nearly invisible, lying flat and soft against the skin. The difference might be subtle, but the results speak for themselves! đź‘„

Can you believe we removed nearly 5 pounds of breast tissue? 🌸
Breast reduction, also known as a reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess fat and glandular tissue from the breasts to reach a size that is proportionate to other parts of the body. This transformative procedure can equally be useful in alleviating discomfort from overly large breasts. The weight of excess breast tissue can lead to physical issues, such as back problems and neck pain. From reducing back pain to enhancing everyday mobility and confidence, breast reduction can be a life-changing step toward feeling more comfortable in your body. ✨

Check out this incredible transformation! 💪 This patient wanted to improve the contour and aesthetics of his lower face, jawline, and neck—especially on his profile view. His primary concerns were a poorly defined jawline and excess skin around the neck.
After undergoing neck liposuction and a sliding genioplasty, the results speak for themselves!

Fall and Winter 🤝 The Best Seasons for Plastic Surgery
Why are Fall and Winter the best times to get plastic surgery?
1. Less Sun Exposure
— Reduced sunlight is favorable for minimizing hyperpigmentation and promoting scar healing.
2. Loose-Fitting Clothes
— Wearing layers of loose clothing in the colder months allows for more protection of surgical areas and easier concealment of bandages and compression garments, making the recovery process less noticeable.
3. Reduced Swelling
— Cooler temperatures help to minimize swelling after surgery and speed up the recovery process.
4. Holiday Time Off
— The holiday season usually provides extended time off from work or school, which is beneficial for post-operative recovery
At our clinic, patient care is our top priority, and choosing the right time for your procedure is part of that commitment. Thus, we optimally recommend the fall and winter time to plan, undergo, and recover from plastic surgery. 🍂❄️
