Non-Surgical Chin And Cheek Augmentation

 

 

 

The Youthful Face

 

The youthful face is shaped in a V with the base of the triangle at the eyebrows and the point of triangle at the chin. In youth the cheeks create facial structure and lift the tissues.  Prominent cheek bones are a hallmark of a beautiful face. 

As we age, our cheeks flatten and hollow out, and midface tissues begin to drift downward with gravity, nasolabial folds deepen, the lower eyelids lengthen, and the tissues accumulate at the chin and jawline inverting the V-shaped face of youth. In the aging face the point of the triangle is between the eyebrows and the base of the triangle is at the chin and jawline which emphasizes the jowls and causes a loss of facial harmony, balance and beauty. 

 

Dermal Fillers

 

Injectable fillers are the cornerstone of facial sculpting and allow for three-dimensional augmentation of the chin and cheeks providing contour enhancement. Dermal fillers such as Voluma®, Restylane® Lyft and Radiesse® have been created to correct aging changes. Volume restoration in the cheeks creates a healthy and youthful appearance and recreates the facial V-shape of youth. Adding volume to the chin to correct mild to moderate chin recession or a weak chin can also be accomplished with these dermal fillers. 

 

About Chin Augmentation

 

The chin and jawline are important components critical to the perception of facial attractiveness that conveys beauty and youth. A well-contoured chin and jawline are desirable and are a defining feature of masculinity and femininity.  Men who seek to enhance a masculine feature will desire a well-defined chin. Women, especially those with an oval or heart shaped face, may desire to strengthen the chin and jawline to improve facial contours.

A weak or recessive chin may be a natural feature or the result of aging. A weak chin can make your nose look larger. Nonsurgical chin augmentation can improve the appearance of your nose, and jawline, improve the look of sagging jowls, a thick neck, unbalanced profile and an asymmetrical chin. The goal of chin augmentation is to improve or restore the contours and proportions of the face to enhance beauty. 

Surgical chin augmentation involves a chin implant which provides a permanent solution. Many patients desire improvement but prefer nonsurgical augmentation to avoid the risks and expense of surgery and recovery. Chin augmentation is also an option for patients considering a chin procedure to test out a new chin before surgery.

 Nonsurgical chin augmentation is a good option for patients who are unhappy with their chin because it is not in proportion with or is out of balance with the rest of the face, or is asymmetrical, lacks definition and redefine the chin

    • Improve the appearance of a recessive chin

    • Fix an out of proportion or asymmetrical chin

 

About Cheek Augmentation

 

Facial rejuvenation begins with the midface. To restore or enhance midface volume, which is lost with aging, women may desire cheek augmentation. Cheek augmentation provides lift and definition; and restores a youthful appearance and femininity. 

 A majority of individuals have a shorter, fuller side of the face, and a longer, thinner side. The fuller side is usually the more attractive side in youth and even appears younger with age. Cheek augmentation can also be used to improve facial symmetry for a more harmonious appearance.

 Cheek augmentation is commonly accomplished with a surgical procedure to insert implants over the cheek bones to add volume to the middle third of the face. However, with the evolution of facial fillers Dr. Hashemi can now restore cheek volume and enhance contours to improve facial aesthetics.

Subtle Lip Fillers: A Natural & Affordable Alternative to Lip Implants

Subtle Lip Fillers: A Natural & Affordable Alternative to Lip Implants

Subtle Lip Fillers: A Natural & Affordable Alternative to Lip Implants

 

Lips are a bit funny. Like the eyes, we’re drawn to them as the center of personality and the focus of overall facial beauty. They define and bring out our inner selves. So much depends on their fullness, shape, and contour. You can tell a lot about a person’s youth through their lips.

That’s probably why lip implants have become so popular.

In fact, over 18,000 people underwent lip augmentation surgery in 2020, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

But traditional lip implants can be expensive – $2,000 to $4,000, on average. And because lip augmentation is purely cosmetic, the procedure isn’t typically covered by insurance. 

But with subtle lip fillers, you can achieve similar results without the need for expensive and invasive surgery. Instead of an implant, biodegradable hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the lips to add plumpness and volume, as well as smooth out any wrinkles.

The result is rounder, beautiful lips that look younger and more attractive.

Traditional Lip Implants

In traditional lip implants, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon surgically injects silicone or harvested fat into the upper and lower lips. Typically, one of two types of silicone implants is used – Advanta Lip, a synthetic Gore-Tex material, or PermaLip, a solid silicone material that looks soft and natural.

Incisions are made in the outer corners of the mouth, with the implant inserted into the pocket. The incisions are made along the natural lip line to hide scarring.Traditional lip implants can also use fat deposits harvested from the patient’s own body through liposuction.

The fat transfer is collected, purified, and inserted into the lips through tiny needles.

Augmentation Through Subtle Lip Fillers

While lip implants have historically been surgical, subtle lip fillers offer a natural and affordable alternative that doesn’t require surgery or downtime.

Instead, biodegradable hyaluronic acid fillers are applied to the lips to bring out roundness, plumpness and shape. These injectable fillers are scientifically formulated to alleviate aging changes in the lips, including the loss of volume, color, and elasticity. 

Restylane Kysse and Juvederm Ultra XC are lip injections designed for lip augmentation. They bring shape and volume to the lips for a younger, more attractive smile. Both hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine to ease recovery and enhance comfort following the procedure. 

Juvederm Ultra XC is an advanced dermal filler designed to smooth out the lips while adding volume and hydration for skin elasticity. It smoothes fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, restoring contours and volume for fuller and more youthful lips. Its effects last up to a year. 

Restylane Kysse is a subtle lip filler designed with “XpresHAn technology” to bring flexibility and expression to the lips with natural-looking volume. It brings out lip texture and color with a rich, round fullness that’s expressive and natural. This lip enhancement filler alleviates upper lip lines (lipstick lines) while smoothing out the smile with a healthy fullness that’s young and attractive.

Subtle lip fillers produce beautiful results, but an ongoing treatment plan with injections every  12 months is encouraged to maintain youthful elasticity. 

Lip Augmentation as an Art Form

There’s a subtle art to lip augmentation. You want to enhance the youth and appeal of the lips with natural beauty. This can be easier said than done. Too much lip treatment creates an artificial, unnatural appearance that can impact natural lip movement. Smiles can seem fake or forced.

Lips have their own 3D structure comprising height, width, projection, angles, and curvatures. The lips must be augmented in perfect balance, sculpted to ideal definition, blending the best beauty characteristics. 

Dr. Hashemi is a leader in cosmetic dermatology and has the technical and aesthetic skills to create a fuller, younger, and rounded smile without the need for surgery.

She’ll utilize the latest and most advanced HA fillers in and around the lips in just the right combination to bring out the results you are looking for. The result is a plump set of lips with smooth vertical lip lines for a perfect smile and mouth.

It All Begins with a Personalized Consultation

 

First, Dr. Hashemi will begin with a personalized consultation that reviews your medical history and any conditions that might make lip augmentation unsafe or inappropriate. You may not be a good candidate if:

  • You are pregnant
  • You are allergic to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid fillers
  • You have inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea
  • You suffer from bleeding disordersThe Difference Between Subtle Lip Fillers & Lip Implants

Next, Dr. Hashemi will study your facial expressions at rest and in motion. She’ll evaluate your facial symmetry and how it ties into the natural features of your lips. She’ll discuss your goals for lip augmentation and recommend a cocktail of injectable fillers specifically designed to your ambitions. She’ll discuss the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.

Dr. Hashemi is board certified dermatologist trained in the art of lip augmentation. If you are a good candidate, she can help enhance your natural beauty with youthful, rounded lips that bring out the inner you. Look years younger with lips that accentuate your personality and glow.

The Non-Invasive Butt Lift: Sculpt a Beautiful Butt – Without Surgery!

The Non-Invasive Butt Lift: Sculpt a Beautiful Butt – Without Surgery!

The Non-Invasive Butt Lift: Sculpt a Beautiful Butt – Without Surgery!

Are you considering a Brazilian butt lift? In the age of celebrity Instagram, many people crave a perfect, beautifully toned butt that’s sexy and alluring. Unfortunately, age and gravity are not always on our side. Pregnancy, significant weight loss, and genetics can reduce the roundness and plumpness of the buttocks, leading to a flatter, unappealing derrière. Some have turned to surgical Brazilian butt lifts to tone up their beauty.

It’s an expensive and invasive procedure in which fat is harvested from other areas of the body and transferred to the buttocks. It’s also one of the most dangerous cosmetic surgeries available. Surgical butt lifts are not ideal for skinny people who might not have enough fat to harvest. The fat also tends to be absorbed into the body over time – multiple treatments are often needed to achieve desired results.

Fortunately, those who wish to avoid the pain and inconvenience of surgery can still achieve a sculpted, beautiful butt through more natural means. A non-invasive butt lift, also known as a butt shot, provides derrière augmentation using dermal fillers. Butt injections are a way of achieving a fuller, younger-looking beauty without the need to recover from surgery.

What is a Non-Surgical BBL?

A non-surgical BBL uses dermal filters to enhance the buttocks with volume, shape, and curve. The result is a beautifully sculpted derrière without anesthesia, scars, or major recovery. Get a more rounded, younger and attractive backside without going under a knife.

What Kind of Fillers are Used in a Non-Invasive Butt Lift?

The dermal fillers used in non-invasive BBL include Radiesse and Sculptra.

Radiesse is an injectable biostimulatory filler that lifts and contours the buttocks, adding plumpness and shape while reducing cellulite. Its effects are immediately satisfying, with results that will last for years.

Sculptra is another dermal filler made of Poly-L-Lactic Acid that naturally stimulates collagen production for more boosted, rounder buttocks with great definition and curve. Multiple butt shots are usually required, but the results are long-lasting and beautiful. Your body naturally produces collagen, leading to a fuller and younger appearance.

What is the Difference Between a Surgical and a Non-Surgical Brazilian Butt Lift?

Safety is a critical difference between a surgical and a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift. A traditional Brazilian butt lift is considered by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to be one of the riskiest cosmetic surgeries. Surgical butt lifts have an alarming rate of mortality – as high as 1 death for every 3,000 performed, far surpassing other cosmetic surgery procedures.

Recovery time is another major drawback. You can expect the swelling from a surgical butt lift to last six weeks. Sitting is limited and painful. Regular activity, desk work, and even relaxing in a chair can be difficult and somewhat excruciating. 

While a non-invasive butt lift may require several procedures to achieve the desired effects, no recovery time is needed. You may feel some slight soreness for a few days, but you’ll still be able to sit, work, and live comfortably following the procedure. 

 

Why Consider a Non-Surgical Brazilian Butt Lift?

Through a non-invasive BBL, we can create a beautifully sculpted, toned and enhanced backside without surgery. A butt shot treatment specially designed for your unique needs can minimize sagging pockets of fat, add curves and body, sculpt and firm the buttocks for a sexy, hourglass figure. Butt injections add youth and form for a beauty that will turn heads.

A system of butt shots can help tighten and lift saggy butt cheeks for perfect form. It builds, tightens, and rounds out gluteal muscles. Dimples are minimized, and curvature is added to enhance the shape. 

In addition to a sculpted derrière, you’ll also boost your self-confidence with a perfect body that looks younger and more attractive. Your transformation can enhance other areas of your life, such as social likeability, satisfied well-being, dating, and career success. 

What’s a Non-Invasive BBL Procedure Like?

First, we gently numb the areas to be treated. We then inject the dermal fillers. The entire butt shot procedure takes about an hour. Each treatment is uniquely customized to your body’s needs and the desired effects. Injections are applied to the exact regions that need plumping and contour. There’s an art to the process that only a trained and experienced cosmetic dermatologist can achieve.

Radiesse is injected more on the surface of the skin, while Sculptra injections use a cannula or needles. Once injected, the dermal fillers are gently massaged and evenly distributed for ideal placement to achieve the best shape. 

Dr. Pantea Hashemi has years of experience performing non-invasive BBLs to deliver ideal results. She’s a dermatologist who has helped numerous men and women achieve younger, fuller, sexier bodies without the need for surgery. 

It all begins with a consultation with Dr. Hashemi. She’ll listen to your concerns, goals, and desires for your body. Every patient is unique – each procedure must be customized to your needs and ideals. Injections into the upper buttocks fill in missing volumes. Injections into the sides can bring out the hips. Butt shots in the center of the buttock will add lift and shape to round out the projection. Whatever your goals for your body, Dr. Hashemi can design a custom approach to bring out the ideal you.
