Dermal fillers and Botox treatments are popular choices for many, yet they operate differently due to their unique ingredients and mechanisms. Dermal fillers, containing hyaluronic acid, restore volume and smooth wrinkles, enhancing skin elasticity. In contrast, Botox, with botulinum toxin, temporarily paralyzes muscles to reduce wrinkles by inhibiting muscle contractions. While their roles differ, combining fillers and Botox can yield superior outcomes. To sum up, combining filler and Botox treatments is feasible and often beneficial, tailored to individual needs. At She’s Plastic Surgery, we prioritize the use of safe, certified injectables for all procedures. Thank you for considering us.

If you are in your 50s, you may notice a gradual loss of skin elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles on your face.  Addressing sagging skin and facial wrinkles from the root cause is crucial.  For those experiencing significant facial skin sagging, a facelift surgery may be recommended. During this surgery, the surgeon creates an incision that starts above the ears in the hairline, continues down and around the front of the ears, and ends behind the ears in the lower scalp.  Following the procedure, noticeable improvements can be seen in your drooping cheeks, mouth corners, nasolabial folds, and chin.  The result can last for a long time since both the facial skin and fascia are lifted altogether.  After a facelift, the surgical area is less noticeable than eye surgery as it can be concealed with your hair. 

Lateral canthoplasty is a surgical option suitable for individuals with small or close-set eyes.  Many patients express concerns about the possibility of tissue re-adhesion at the corners of the eyes following this procedure. Yes, there is a possibility of re-adhesion. However, it's essential to note that skilled surgeons always take this into consideration during the procedure.  Additionally, in cases where both lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty are performed simultaneously, the risk of re-adhesion is reduced. This combined approach not only enlarges the eyes horizontally and vertically but also minimizes the likelihood of tissue sticking back together. We strongly advise consulting with a highly experienced plastic surgeon before considering any eye surgery to address concerns and explore the most suitable options.

Many clients choose to have surgical and non-surgical treatments simultaneously.  Among those considering both, some wondered whether it is possible to undergo double eyelid surgery only 1 month after receiving forehead Botox injection.  Is there any relation between forehead Botox and double eyelid surgery? And is it possible to proceed with the surgery shortly after a forehead Botox treatment?  Forehead Botox is a procedure designed to reduce forehead wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the frontalis muscles. Following the treatment, you may experience a sensation of heaviness in the eye area and notice droopiness in your eyebrows. If you are contemplating double eyelid surgery after getting Botox, it is advisable to wait at least 6 months before scheduling the surgery.  Additionally, it is crucial to check the duration of the Botox effects and consult with your surgeon before considering the eyelid surgery. 

We always advise our patients to avoid saunas for about a week after undergoing laser treatment, even though it's a simple procedure. But why? Well, after laser treatment, your skin is a bit irritated. Even if you can't see any bruises, there are tiny wounds on your skin. Exposing these wounds to high heat, like in a sauna, increases the risk of infection or inflammation. For optimal results and a smooth recovery, we suggest not using saunas or intense workouts during the first week after laser treatment.

Lifting procedures are effective for lifting sagging skin and improving elasticity.  Many clients inquire about the possibility of undergoing another lifting treatment shortly after their first session. So, is it advisable to have lifting treatments in quick succession? If the redness on the skin has disappeared after the initial treatment, it is generally acceptable to have more sessions. However, the noticeable effects may be limited. Lifting procedures exert strong stimulation on the skin, and undergoing frequent treatments may risk further damage. Therefore, the most effective approach is to receive treatments at regular intervals.

During consultations with us, many clients inquire about the possibility of raising their nose bridge and tip to their desired extent. So, how high can the nose be raised? The appropriate height of the nose bridge and tip is determined based on your overall facial proportions and the shape of your nose. When performing rhinoplasty, the surgeon considers more than just the height and shape. It is crucial to find a height that compliments your facial features and contributes to creating a balance for your face. Consulting with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine the ideal nose height that suits you perfectly and enhances the overall harmony of your face.
