Sometimes plastic surgery can sound intimidating, or like something meant only for celebrities. However, plastic surgery does not have to be scary, and it may be the perfect way for you to keep your appearance youthful. As we age, we tend to long for the good old days when our cheeks were full and our lips were perfectly plump. But this does not have to be a long lost dream. Through easy, nonsurgical procedures like Botox and fillers, you can achieve the look you have been craving. The only question is, which one should you choose?
What is Botox?
Botox is an injectable solution made from a “refined bacterium”. The nonsurgical procedure is performed by inserting a fine, thin needle into the targeted area. Some of the most common areas Botox is used on include forehead, brow, and cheeks. Botox works by relaxing the muscles in the targeted area to keep them from repeating the actions that cause wrinkles or lines to appear. The entire procedure can be performed in a matter of minutes, and requires very little if any recovery time.
What are fillers?
Filler is really just an umbrella term for a variety of nonsurgical procedures, like Botox, which help to rejuvenate the face. While each has its own nuances, most every filler works by quite literally filling in the space left by wrinkles and lines. Fillers are very versatile, and they are commonly used on areas such as the mouth, forehead, or nose. Like Botox, fillers can be injected in less than an hour and require no recovery time.
So which one do I choose?
When it comes to choosing a product that best suits your cosmetic needs, it is important to consider what part of the face you are fixing, how long you want the results to last, and when you want to see the results. Each product has its own specifications, and they have various ranges in all of these categories. Whether it be 4 or 12 months in lasting results, or immediate or gradual results, each product has their own benefits.
The best way to know which product is best for you is to consult a doctor. To schedule an appointment or to get more information, contact Buinewicz Plastic Surgery in Bucks County, PA and Hunterdon County, NJ at (215) 647- 9668.
