5 Reasons to Consider Injectables Instead of “Regrettables”

Remember the mullet? Spandex? That awful date with “that” guy or girl? We’ve all done things we’ve regretted. Sometimes it feels good to play the rebel or do something drastic, but other times …  not so much. Hopefully, the sum of our regrettables has consisted of easily reversible or repairable issues. It probably goes without saying that any facial plastic surgery procedure should first be met with serious contemplation (or any plastic surgery option for that matter).

Thankfully, the precision associated with most injectables narrows the scope for regret. Let’s explore some wonderful ways that injectable facial procedures are happily un-regrettable solutions to some of our biggest aging annoyances.

A Crash Course In Injectables To Improve the Signs of Aging And More

Perhaps you’ve heard that injectables like Botox, in addition to fillers such as Juvederm, have been successful in improving signs of aging, but you’re unsure as to whether you are a candidate for an injectable facial treatment. What makes Chadwell Facial Plastic Surgery a favorite among patients, is that Dr. Chadwell not only offers a variety of injectables but also has years of education and experience that make him a true stand out in the field of facial plastic surgery and nonsurgical treatments. Here is a list of injectables and how they work:

Botox® and Dysport®

These injectables work to arrest the movement of muscles and help them relax, the result: smoother skin, with the diminishment of wrinkles. Botox and Dysport can effectively treat:

• Frown lines
• Crows feet
• Other fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead area
• Lip lines
• Horizontal or vertical lines on the top and sides of the nasal bridge
• Neck bands

Restylane® and JUVÉDERM®

These are dermal fillers.They are composed of hyaluronic acid and designed to restore volume and fullness to the skin, in order to minimize visible, moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. They are most commonly administered to target:

• Wrinkles and smile lines from the nose to the corner of the mouth
• Marionette lines (extending down from the corners of the mouth)
• Hollow appearance beneath the eyes and in the cheek area
• Folds in the jowls

RADIESSE®
RADIESSE® is another filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite and is injected into similar areas as Restylane to produce similar results as other lip enhancement and volumizers.

In addition to plumping up the face, injectables can add volume to places like our lips, that can sometimes seem to disappear (right along with our youthful energy).

Restylane® Silk
A filler to enhance the look and feel of lips.

Sculptra® Aesthetic and Restylane® Lyft
These are volumizing injectables that can help:

• Improve sagging cheeks and jowls
• Lack of facial volume and hollowing around the cheeks and temples
• Lines and folds around the corners of the mouth

Injectables Should Be Positively Unforgettable in Results – Not Regrettable

To ensure that injectables are the right procedure for you, Dr. Chadwell will schedule a consultation to go over your past and present medical history. Often, as long as you are in overall good health and have reasonable expectations, you are likely a candidate for injectables.

Injectable treatments can significantly improve the signs of aging and serve as the perfect alternative for those unsure about, or not quite ready, to undergo more invasive facial plastic surgery procedures. Contact us today to learn more about how to get unforgettably amazing results.
