Dermal Fillers Before & After Case 148

The field of cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery has grown exponentially from non-surgical treatments such as wrinkle relaxers (ex. Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®) and facial fillers (ex. Restylane®, Juvederm®). Wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox, are commonly used to smooth the skin around the eyes and also used to reshape the face for "facial sculpting". Facial fillers, such as Restylane®, work differently than the wrinkle relaxers by adding volume and reducing shadows and depressions.

This younger woman wanted cosmetic treatments in multiple areas to enhance her natural beauty. The numerous positive online reviews for plastic surgery led her to seek a consultation with Washington DC facial plastic surgeon Dr. Chaboki. She received the following non-surgical facelift procedures:

• Restylane® injection tear trough and midfacial areas to reduce under eye dark circles and augment her cheeks
• Juvederm® lip augmentation to enhance her lips
• Botox jaw reduction to reduce the excess volume of the lower face

These non-surgical procedures may be performed at one visit or over several visits, based on patient preference.
