| Botox®
at Contemporary Plastic Surgery |
|
| Botox, a bacterial product, is
useful for limiting the activity of certain overactive
facial muscles which lead to unwanted deep wrinkles.
Originally used for the treatment of crossed eyes, Botox
is now used for limiting the action of muscles of the
face which cause frown lines of the nose and forehead,
crows foot lines, and wrinkles around the mouth. The
mechanism of action is reversible weakness of targeted
muscles. The injections are relatively painless, when
done slowly, and show their effect within 7 days,
lasting 4-6 months in most patients. Botox in the small
doses used for cosmetic muscle relaxation is very safe,
and effective. Side effects are minimal, and
complications, such as allergic reactions, are rare.
When Botox is used on specific muscles around the eyes,
and over the lower forehead, the results can mimic the
results of a brow lift in patients without marked excess
skin. |

| Is
Botox®
Right For Me? |
|
| Having a treatment with BOTOX®
Cosmetic is one way that you can invest in your
appearance. Talking with your physician will help
determine if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you. BOTOX®
Cosmetic was the most popular physician-administered
aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth
year in a row (surgical and nonsurgical combined). The
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
estimates that almost 3.3 million treatments were
performed in 2005 alone—that's an increase of almost 16%
over 2004. |
|
| BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only
treatment approved by the FDA for the temporary relief
of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in
people 18 to 65 years of age. With one simple 10-minute
treatment, results can be seen within a couple of days
and can last for up to 4 months. Individual results may
vary. |

The BOTOX®
procedure |
|
|
|
|
The doctor begin by applying a topical anesthetic cream to
the areas that will be treated. This effectively numbs the
area so that there is little to no pain.
Each injection takes a few minutes and there may be slight
redness or in some cases bruising at the injection site.
Within three to five days results will begin to appear. What
to expect? A complete smoothing of lines is typical and
dynamic wrinkles are effectively, albeit temporarily,
exiled. |
