8+ Things You Should Know About Botox

You probably know at least one friend or coworker who has had Botox, and they probably love what it has done for them. Have you been considering Botox? If you’ve been thinking about Botox, you may have some questions. Here are some Botox facts!

What you need to know about Botox

1. Botox works by blocking signals between the nerves and the muscles, which keeps muscles from contracting and relaxes and smooths out wrinkles.

2. It is a neurotoxin, which sounds like a bad thing to inject into your body. However, it is very safe when it is used correctly, has been used in cosmetic procedures for decades, and has been used successfully with millions of patients.

3. It is used to reduce the appearance of lines around the mouth, frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. However, it has medical uses, too. It is used to treat neck spasms, lazy eye, chronic migraines, and overactive bladder.

4. The procedure to get Botox is noninvasive, nonsurgical, and quick. It is done in the doctor’s office and there is no downtime afterwards, although you should avoid strenuous activity such as a trip to the gym.

5. Most patients say that there is very little pain – just a bit of a pinch. You may be bruised a bit afterward, but this will fade within a few days.

6. The effects of Botox can last as long as 6 months, although it may take a couple of weeks to really see these effects. After your Botox has worn off, it is safe to get more injections.

7. Botox can be combined with other procedures, depending on the results you would like to see. Your doctor can help you decide which other procedures are right for you.

8. Botox is a great way to reduce wrinkles and get younger, smoother-looking skin if you have tried at-home creams with no results, but you aren’t quite ready yet for a surgical procedure such as a face lift.

Facial Procedures for Men

Plastic surgery is all about looking good and giving people the confidence they need and deserve to have. And it’s not just for women – men want to look good and feel confident, too! At the Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center, men have a variety of procedures to choose from to help them look and feel their best.

Brow lift

You may not even realize how your brow can affect the rest of your face. Lines and saggy skin can make you look older than you are and perpetually angry or worried. With a brow lift, excess skin is removed and the remaining skin is tightened for very youthful results.

Neck lift

The neck is another area that is often ignored when people are considering a plastic surgery procedure, but, like the brow, how the neck looks can really make a difference to the rest of the face. If the neck has excess fat, it can cause unsightly “turkey wattles.” During a neck lift, excess skin and fat are removed and the neck muscles are lifted to get rid of wattles and give you a smooth, younger-looking neck.

Eyelid surgery

Excess skin and fat around the eyes can make your eyes look puffy, tired, and old. Eyelid surgery gets rid of that excess tissue to make eyes look younger, brighter, and more alert. It can also be done for medical reasons – too much skin around the eyes can reduce your field of vision, which is not only annoying but can be dangerous.

Facelift

More and more men are opting for this procedure because it comes with dramatic results. It removes wrinkles and tightens sagging tissue, leaving you with refreshed, toned, and younger-looking skin. A facelift is also the perfect time to get other things done, such as a brow lift, ear surgery to reshape the ears or make them smaller, or eyelid surgery.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to look younger and feel your best. More and more, men are deciding to have plastic surgery and are loving the results they see. Contact Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center in Chester, New Jersey, to discuss your plastic surgery options. Call (908) 879-2222 for an appointment today!
