Hand Rejuvenation with Injectable Fillers and Fat

Do your hands give away your age? In many people, the hands are just as revealing as our faces about our age. But our faces understandably get much more attention and the hands are often forgotten. (but not unseen by others) As we age, our hands (particularly women) loose that once plump fullness and youthful Read More…

Reshaping the Aging Lower Face

  A smaller lower face has been shown to be more attractive and youthful looking. Recent research has shown that, as we age, the lower jaw continues to grow more so than the rest of the face. Therefore, there is a change in the shape of the face as we get older that in some Read More…

The Use of Fat Graft Injections to the Face for Volumetric Augmentation

  While now nine different synthetic injectable fillers exist for the cosmetic treatment of facial lines and wrinkles, none of them are permanent. As they are all artificially-created materials, the body will eventually absorb or break them down so their plumping effect dissipates with time. Fat from your own body remains as a very appealing Read More…

Fat Injections to the Face – A Concept Which Continues To Intrique

  Despite the many off-the-shelf injectable fillers which currently exist, none of them can promise permanent results or complete biocompatibility and lack of any type of foreign-body reaction in everyone.

Fat Injections for Calf Augmentation

  Augmentation of the calfs is most consistently done with a synthetic implant. Most patients who seek calf augmentation are typically body builder types, those born with very thin calfs who have been unable to build them up, or sosmeone with significant calf asymmetry. Despite an implant’s predictable improvement in the size and shape of Read More…

Fat Injections for Buttock Augmentation

  Buttock augmentation is most consistently done with a gluteal implant. Despite its predictable improvement in the size and shape of the buttocks, buttock implants are not without complications. Intramuscular implant placement makes recovery more uncomfortable and having to sit on the implant predisposes it to positional shifting and the formation of fluid collections and Read More…

Patient Classification for Lipodissolve Injections – The Key to Success

  LipoDissolve offers an alternative non-surgical treatment option for select fat problems. While liposuction, when it was originally in the United States in 1981, was to be used for ‘spot reduction’ (and we know its application has been extended well beyond that initial use), successful use of LipoDissolve really depends on the spot reduction concept.
