Nonsurgical procedures, such as liquid facelift and eye bag treatment, continue to grow in popularity these days. However, there are some cases in which surgery cannot be substituted. Only surgery can remove excess skin and significantly lift sagging tissue. Natural changes from age and sun damage affect ligaments, skin, bone, muscle, and fat. These tissue …
Men and women may have various complaints about their chins. A double chin and weak chin are common, but we also treat a number of patients who complain about a dimpled or wrinkled chin. That's where "chin dimple BOTOX®" can help my Washington, DC-area patients; it smooths the skin by relaxing the muscle. In this …
The neck and jawline is often an area of concern for patients. Terms such as a double chin, excess fat, "no neck", weak chin, "turkey neck", sagging tissue, etc have been used to describe their undesired appearance.

While some nonsurgical treatments such as Botox® may require relatively less thought and time, patients considering cosmetic surgery should allow adequate time and preparation before proceeding with elective surgery. Everyone considering cosmetic surgery has sufficient time to do adequate research beforehand. Don't rush into surgery. These are just some of the questions to ask, but there …
Women have always outnumbered men in the plastic surgeon's office. An estimated 1 man comes to an aesthetic office (ie. dermatology, plastic surgery, med spa, etc) for every 9 women. Whether its a facelift, eyelid surgery, or Botox®, women simply seek to improve their facial appearance more frequently. This discrepancy between men and women, however, …
Patients want to look better, but still themselves. They may first try nonsurgical treatments with Botox® or cheek injections to help treat and prevent wrinkles. We see many patients from all age ranges who benefit from nonsurgical, office treatments. However, has plastic surgery gone away? No, not yet. There still isn't a good nonsurgical method to address …
