Hi! Belotero is a GREAT choice when it comes to undereye fillers. The reason why we prefer to add Belotero to the undereye is because, since it is a clear gel, it will not cause a tyndall effect when placed superficially. It is a hydrophobic filler and does not absorb as much water as some other fillers can. Using a hydrophobic filler under the eyes is very important due to the delicate structures surrounding. For some added support, it is recommended to add filler to your cheeks as well in order to build a base for the undereye. I would start with about 2mL in the mid cheek and 1 syringe of Belotero to the undereye!

Hello! It is not recommended to add filler to the chin a couple days AFTER chin liposuction. Liposuction under the chin will cause a decent amount of swelling, making you look fuller than before the actual surgery. This will throw off how you truly look and what the final outcome will be. It is best to wait a full 4-6 weeks minimum prior to adding chin filler and chin liposuction. Once cleared by your surgeon, you should be good to go!

I would recommend some sort of Hyaluronic Acid filler to your full face in order to provide structure and appropriate facial proportions. My go-to lip filler product to inject is Restylane Kysse. It is the perfect hybrid product that will provide structure and natural volume. For chin denting and structure, I always suggest the combo of neurotoxin (Botox or Dysport) + HA filler to the chin to soften out asymmetries. Number of syringes used will be determined upon in-person assessment with an experienced provider. While treating these areas of concern may improve the lower third of your face, it is VERY important to address the entire face as a whole in order to see a well-balanced and natural result. Most often times, I need to add volume to the cheeks so that the lower face can be more pronounced!

ANSWER
Every single person has asymmetries of the face to some degree. It is common for one side of the mouth to show deeper lines compared to the other side due to sleeping positions, excess sun exposure from driving, etc. However, there is a solution for you, and that is dermal HA fillers + neurotoxin to the mentalis muscle (chin). I would suggest starting to 1-2mL of HA fillers to soften out smile lines around the mouth. You can also benefit from a little bit of Botox to the chin which will help soften chin dimpling caused by muscle contraction!

Frown lines can be very pesky and difficult to provide a full correction when they are severe. I would recommend to treat the surrounding muscle groups like your frontalis and orbicularis oculi muscle (crows feet). Doing so will help to relax the accessory muscles that contribute to severity of frown lines. FDA suggests that you treat the upper face with about 64 units in total for optimal results. If there is still no improvement after increasing dosing, my suggestion would be to try out different Neuromodulators such as Dysport or Daxxify to see if optimal results can be achievable.

ANSWER
Hi Kaylee! It looks like you would be a great candidate for filler injections. This treatment can last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months (this typically depends on how quickly the patient metabolizes the product and which product is used). Filler would be a great option to reduce these lines, and give you the more youthful and lifted appearance that you are looking for. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. Viewing before/after photos to gauge expected results is always a great way to start the process. Make sure to schedule a Cosmetic Consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options and "try on" different sizes. Your BCPS will take measurements to decipher which size would be best for your body and breast shape.

ANSWER
Thank you for your question. Your results to appear to be normal, and you have a great result. My recommendation would be to replace the current implant with a high profile, highly cohesive gel implant to provide you with the round, firm look that you are hoping for. Visit your original surgeon for revision options. I wish you the best of luck on your surgical journey.

ANSWER
Thank you for your question. From the limited amount of information provided, you appear to be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck. If you have any separation of your abdominal muscles (rectis diastasis) a full tummy tuck would be the only surgical option to remedy that issue. Best of luck to you on your surgical journey.
