Botox-Fillers
Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation procedures are highly sought as more patients demand less-invasive, yet effective, procedures to mitigate signs of facial aging with minimal downtime. Nonsurgical procedures accounted for 82% of plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States in 2011, with 4,030,318 botox injections followed by 1,662,480 hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections.
The youthful face has smooth contours, few wrinkles at rest as well as animation, and appropriate soft tissue fullness. With age, the skin accumulates solar damage and shows uneven pigmentation and loss in dermal thickness and elasticity. Wrinkles ultimately form due to a combination of these skin changes, gravitational descent of soft tissues, and repeated muscular contractions. Transverse forehead lines appear with repeated brow lifting by the forehead muscle, vertical lines form in the glabella with repeated contraction of the glabella muscles, and crow’s-feet appear lateral to the eyes from the concentric movement of the eyelids muscle.
Further caudally, malar fat pads descend with gravity, starting a constellation of changes, including the appearance of deepened nasolabial folds as well as jowling and resultant prejowl sulcus formation. Perioral wrinkles form due to a multitude of concomitant factors. Loss of lip volume combined with continued lip muscle motion lead to a stellate-type pattern of vertical rhytids around the mouth.
With this knowledge plastic surgeons can combine botox and dermal fillers to achieve a smooth and line-free face.
