To Anyone with a Fear of Needles - You Are in Good Hands Here!
My first visit to Aesthetics Hawaii was SUPER pleasant! The receptionists were very welcoming. Jenn took the time to talk to me, explain the TMJ botox procedure, show me how effective it can be, answered my questions and concerns, and was really relatable and approachable. She took note that I'm afraid of needles and was patient the entire time. When Dr. Yew came in, he had already gone over...
This made a big difference in achieving a natural youthful look
Doctor Yew and his team are amazing. The office is well run and the staff is always kind. At my first appointment with Doctor Yew, I wanted under eye fillers, but he explained why I didn’t need them (I don’t). In my past experience other injectors would just take my money and do it, but Doctor Yew is different. He cares about the individual and only recommends for a true need. I’ve been going...
Great RHA1 treatment for upper lip lines - loving the results
I was given the RHA1 for my upper lip lines by Dr Yew and it looks great! He explained the procedure step by step and put me at ease. The numbing process is always important for comfort and I felt very comfortable during the procedure with numbing and breathing exercises he shows you before starting the process! I’m loving the results and plan on getting more treatments with Dr Yew!!
6 months and the results look good- natural and long lasting
I’ve been seeing Dr. Yew for a few years now and am always happy with the results. I’m in my late 30s and most recently came in with concerns about signs of aging on my face. Dr. Yew and his assistant took their time to explain the causes and treatment options. Dr. Yew even talked me out of some unnecessary treatments that I was considering such as lip and facial fillers. I ultimately dec...
New to Botox - he put me at ease and answered all my questions
Dr. Yew is amazing. I am new to Botox and fillers. He put me at ease, answered all my questions, and did not push any procedures that I did not want. His philosophy is take it slow. Build a foundation for a more natural look. Highly recommend! As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

A: Botox is safe and most side effects are transient and related to the needle injection - e.g. swelling, redness and sometimes mild bruising. However, if not placed correctly - especially in the upper forehead - it's possible to have eyebrow "spocking" or "heaviness", eyelid droop or ptosis. Please the attached video link for more detailed information regarding safety and side effects:
A: Botox is an excellent option to help slim the trapezius muscle for 3-4 months. ($900 per session is expensive and I would seek an experienced provider that can target the affected trigger muscles. We have had good results with as little as 40 units total. There is NO permanent way to slim any muscles that are constantly being used. Please watch the attached video link for education on our YouTube Patient Education channel.
A: Your have breat bone structure (cheekbones and jaw shape). With aging - the lower part of the face may become fuller than the cheekbones. If that happens - it's due to the jaw muscles (masseters) getting larger from normal use (eating, talking, clenching, grinding, etc...) If the temples are getting larger - you may experience tension headaches/migraines. It's important to find an experienced provider - so ask them how long they have been injecting jaw muscles. Ask them how many units they are injecting and why. If it's not injected correctly - you can get a crooked smile for 4 months. Please see the attached video link regarding Botox/TMJ and facial slimming.

A: It's a good idea to ask questions whenever it involves your body and injectables. Given the increasing number of injectors - I suggest asking first:
How many years have you been injecting full time? The more years - the more experienced.
Ask to see the vial or syringe Expiration Date to make sure you are getting what you requested.
At our practice - each provider shows every patient the vial or syringe with the expiration date so they know what they are getting.
