Life changing chin liposuction! Recovery very quick & with very little pain
I have been insecure about my chin for my entire life. No matter how in shape I was, I always had a double chin. Getting chin liposuction from Dr. Garcia has truly changed my life. I feel more confident and am not constantly worried about how my profile looks. Dr. Garcia answered all of my questions and he and his staff made me so comfortable during the procedure. Recovery was very quick and...
Face and neck lift - wanted work done for the past 15 years
I am just starting this for right now and will add more later. I had a facelift one week ago. I am just posting my before photos, which—when I first saw them I was in denial that I actually looked like that—it wasn’t how I saw myself. You usually see your front view. Anyway, it became clear to me that all those times in the past 20 years when someone would ask about my grandchildren ( I don’t...
I Was Amazed at my Results
I wanted to have the bags removed from under my eyes. As a woman of color, I was extremely nervous of discoloration or uneven results I seriously struggled to make a decision. The staff was very assuring and extremely patient with me. I am very happy I completed the surgery. I enjoy not being asked if I am tried or having to pile makeup on my eyes anymore.
Dr. Garcia is the best facial surgeon around
I found Dr Garcia through RealSelf. I was really nervous and on the fence still about having a botched first rhinoplasty. I did a ton of research for about 5 years before going with Dr Garcia. I lived in Connecticut at the time of finding Garcia and his team. I had a online consultation and I was extremely impressed with Garcia’s knowledge. He knew exactly what I wanted. I moved down to G...
I could not have a better doctor than Dr. Garcia!
Dr. Garcia was referred to me by my friend who had a very successful procedure done seven years ago. Her results have always looked very natural and she still looks great. From beginning to end my experience was very professional and personable at the same time. The staff catered to my every need and I felt 100% safe. The in-office surgical suite was very convenient and the anesthesia/surgical...

A: Hello! I wouldn't suggest Kybella as this is indicated for fat pockets under the chin. If your concern is jawline definition, Ultherapy could be a great option for you. This treatment uses ultrasound to tighten the underlying muscles of the face and neck which can cause a drooping appearance as one ages. Another option to consider is FaceTite. This technology uses radio-frequency to tighten the underlying skin tissue. Since these treatments use 2 different technologies, they can be used in conjunction with one another to give beautiful, natural looking jawline definition without surgery.
A: In looking at your picture, it appears as though you could get noticeable improvement in your nasolabial folds with some filler. These lines, which are also referred to as smile lines or parenthesis, become more prominent as we age due to our facial volume descending. These can be improved upon by adding some volume to the cheeks which causes a slight lift making these folds less noticeable. They can also be treated by injecting the folds making them less deep. I find that patients are usually happy with treating both areas at the same time as this gives a more balanced, natural look. However, it really depends on each patients' individual anatomy. You always have the option of starting with one area adding more filler when desired.
A: Juvederm Voluma is a longer lasting filler with results lasting up to 2 years. However, there is more to consider when selecting a filler. When selecting a filler, injectors consider not just the duration of results, but also the firmness of the filler, how deep it needs to be injected, and whether or not it will look natural in an area of the face with a lot of movement. Due to it's specific properties, Voluma can provide beautiful results in areas such as the cheeks and temples. The under eyes require a filler with different properties such as Volbella.
There are a lot of options for fillers. I would recommend consulting with experienced injectors in your area and allowing them to make recommendations for which fillers will work best for your areas of concern.
A: When injected, Botox will migrate slightly from the injection point. In a clinical study, researchers found that Botox migrates 1.8 square centimetres from the injection point give or take 0.65 square centimetres. Injectors are aware of this an take it into account when injecting. Experienced injectors know which areas of the face to avoid to prevent any unwanted effects of Botox.
If you are considering getting Botox, I would recommend meeting with some experienced injectors in your area for a consultation so that you can discuss any concerns you may have prior to treating. I have found that it is not uncommon for first time patients to have some questions and concerns prior to their first treatment, and then are very pleased with their results.
A: Hyaluronic acid lip filler such as Juvederm does not migrate. Either it was injected in the area above the lip or you are noticing some post treatment swelling. Swelling should subside within 2 weeks of being treated. Juvederm Ultra is my filler of choice for adding volume to lips and I have had great results with this product. The issues you are experiencing may have more to do with the injection technique than the product used. I would recommend looking for a provider with great reviews, asking your provider for before and after pictures of their work , and having an in-depth consultation prior to receiving injections again.
