Botox - Overview
Tired of that angry look between your eyes? Not interested in an invasive procedure like a Brow Lift, Facelift or Endoscopic Forehead Lift? Fed up with those crow’s feet or forehead lines? The Botox treatment is an injection that temporarily paralyzes specific facial muscles to prevent wrinkles from forming.
People who do not like their crow’s feet (lines besides their eyes) or lines between their eyebrows (glabellar area) or their foreheads lines benefit from Botox® injections. The effect of the Botox® begins about 4-7 days after the injections and lasts for approximately four months. The results can be very impressive!
Botox® treatments last about 4 months, with very noticeable results. Current literature suggests that regular Botox® injections over a period of approximately ONE years will cause muscle atrophy.
Dr. Berman is one of the few plastic surgeons who actually enjoys and does his own Botox injections. He does not relegate this task to another member of his team. He enjoys doing these and believes it allows him to be artistic with these injections. In addition, it is an opportunity to get to know his patients better.
The most common areas are the glabellar area (area between the eyebrows) where the 11’s occur. Also the crows feet and parts of the forehead are common. Often, if the Botox is injected carefully and in a small amount, you can experience an elevation of the lateral third of the eyebrow, which many women like.
Less common areas to treat, but still can be very effective include: the bunny lines at the side of the nose, the excessively wrinkled chin and in very small doses the upper lip and the downturn of the mouth.
