I've had wonderful consultations and treatments with Nicole DeVincentis. I was interested in improving my skin's appearance, especially my very wrinkled neck and forehead. I didn’t know much about the different treatments and Nicole immediately put me at ease while she explained what was available. She gave me her suggestions and she was never pushy. Following her lead, I’ve had con...
Nicole is fantastic! I went to see her to get my tear troughs filled for the first time, and she made me feel extremely comfortable! She is very knowledgeable and professional and the procedure didn’t hurt one bit. She is so easy to talk to and knowledgeable about all injectables, and will always give her honest opinion!
I am constantly getting compliments on my youthful skin. No one ever guesses that I have injections, and it is all because of Nicole’s natural hand! From Botox to Filler, she truly works wonders. It takes a special eye to individualize injectables in each of your patients, and Nicole does just that. She is an absolute artist at her work, the Picasso of facial aesthetics. Nicole will never o...
Nicole is an ARTIST. From the moment you meet her, you’re put at ease. She looks at your face the way an artist looks at a blank canvas. She knows what she’s doing and has TALENT. She is a MASTER INJECTOR and there isn’t a thing I wouldn’t trust her to do. Her technique is flawless and has an eye for a natural but GLORIOUS result.
A: Hi. Thank you for a great hot topic question!
I do a lot of tear troughs in my practice and I think most importantly experience is the first most important thing to look for. The type of filler used, is something the injector will decide based on many factors. For me personally it is ONLY Belotero or plain Restylane. I find that other Hyaluronic acids are either too hydrophylic(they pull too much water in) or they ball up and get lumpy which is my experience there with Vollure due to the technology used in making that line of fillers.
In terms of Cannula vs. Needle-it really depends. I do a lot of needle mostly for the deep work that I want strictly on the bone, and if superficial work is also needed, then I may use cannula. Each and Every case is unique and will require a custom plan. Your case though looks very straightforward from what I can see, and I would most likely bolus you with Belotero or Restylane on the bone with a needle.
Best,
Nicole DeVincentis
A: Thank you for great photos to work with!
Asymmetry is something we all deal with and little tweaks can make a great difference. The eyelid ptosis is not something I feel would be properly treated with injectables.
For the jawline, and overall balancing of proportions of a few features, mostly chin, and lips-could be effectively treated with fillers and I think you would be thrilled with the results. I would recommend Radiesse to the jawline and chin, and Restylane Kysse to the lips.
Looking forward,
Nicole DeVincentis
A: Thanks for a great question! I believe Ultherapy would be great for you in terms of a subtle lift by collagen building. I do not see this as a great Kybella case! But more than that, I feel that a little bit of filler to your lower face-mostly next to the chin and in the pre jowl sulcus would be the best solution for your concerns.
A: Thank you for a great question.
Some injectors use one brand specifically, others use many. In my practice and opinion, it is best to have a large variety of choice because all lips are different. Some lips have a lot of empty pockets with deflation, and need a soft filler, and then need something firmer for creating a sharp defined border. Other lips are full and tight and just require a reshaping and that requires a firmer type of filler. There are also some amazing choices from the Restylane family that offer a few different properties together in one product, and are the right fit for some lip issues. Every one needs a unique approach! Make are you in the right hands with someone very experienced and a master at lips!
A: Hi!,
I think some very subtle changes with botox and filler can accomplish what you would like to change. The pictures I see are beautiful though! We all have things we would like to tweak and in the right hands, a few little things here and there can really make a difference. Please have some consults with experienced injectors to see where you are comfortable and insist on small amounts, because you are already beautiful.
