Here at My Plastic Surgeon USA, we believe that results will speak for themselves. As you may have heard, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” and we often find that cliche to be the truth. Most patients first judgments of a plastic surgeon are based not only on their education and background, but on the results seen in their previous patients.
Finding an example of a prior patient who had a similar issue as the one you are struggling with and being able to see their results, either good or bad, can be very powerful. It is recommended that if you find a result you are especially happy with and desire a similar outcome, that you print off the picture to bring it in to your consultation. Visual aides are always a good idea to ensure proper clarity in communicating what you want with your doctor.

There are many surgical procedures designed to reduce the signs and turn back the hands of time. While surgical procedures can produce some truly amazing results, they are not for everyone. Non surgical procedures such as BOTOX injections offer rejuvenating effects in a minimally invasive procedure.
Taking less than 15 minutes to administer, your plastic surgeon will inject BOTOX at predetermined points on the face. Blocking the nerve impulses that control the muscles in the face, BOTOX temporarily prevents muscles from contracting and causing deep lines and wrinkles. BOTOX is an extremely effective treatment for frown lines, crows feet and deep lines in the forehead. BOTOX will make your skin appear smoother, giving you a refreshed look.
Patients that undergo BOTOX injections often report that the natural looking results leave people commenting that they look “refreshed” or like they just returned from vacation. While the results are subtle, the effects can be truly amazing. BOTOX injections will need to be repeated every few months to maintain optimal results. A consultation with a plastic surgeon will be needed to determine if you are a candidate for BOTOX injections. My Plastic Surgeon USA can help you find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area.

The skin around our eyes is one of the areas of the face that changes the most as we age. In the most extreme cases, excess skin on the upper eyelid or brow area can even impair vision. Of course, more common is the sagging, wrinkling and puffiness of the upper and lower eyelids. When this happens this can cause the appearance of being sleepy or upset and as we all know, how we look oftentimes directly effects how we feel and the way we are perceived.
You could be a good candidate for Blepharoplasty- otherwise known as Eyelid Surgery- if you are in good health, have heavy or dropping eyelids, bags under your eyes, and have realistic expectations. These conditions should be discussed between you and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon of choice. Once you have found your Surgeon and scheduled your procedure, you should expect it to take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours with a complete recovery time of up to 10 days.
