Out with the old; in with the new. Dr. Patrick Sullivan shares some dramatic lunch-hour transformations.

Botox

Injections of Botox into this sixty-year-old patient’s forehead area smoothed lines, caused the central brow to come down to a more normal position and slightly lifted the outer brow. Used properly, Botox doesn’t “freeze” the face—expression lines still form when a patient raises their eyebrows or scrunches their eyes.

Blepharoplasty

Cosmetic eyelid surgery to reduce lid drooping or under-eye puffiness can often be done in an office operating room in less than an hour. For this fifty-six-year-old man, a small incision was made to reposition the fat causing under-eye bags and move the fat down to fill the circles. The incision is made inside the eyelid to prevent external scars.

Botox + blepharoplasty

As with the patient above, fat was moved from under the eyes of this fifty-nine-year-old via a tiny incision and repositioned to fill the circles. An injection of Botox softened forehead lines and also relaxed the muscle that was causing an abnormal elevation of her right brow.

Chin and neck re-contouring

This sixteen-year-old patient sought a chin more in proportion with the rest of her face. Liposuction reduced the fullness below her jawline, while natural fat taken from a tiny incision in her belly button was injected in threads into the front portion of the jawline to reshape her chin in under an hour.
 before and after. filler.
Filler

A small injection of this sixty-one-year-old patient’s own fat gently plumped lips and softened lip lines. Patients who want a subtle, long-lasting to permanent result opt for natural fat instead of temporary fillers like Juvederm.
