Injectable Facelift

Actual Patient: Dawn A - 63 year old Caucasian Female Before & After having Visia Analysis, Sculptra, Botox, Restylane & Microdermabrason

Just when you thought it couldn't get easier, looking your best is now as simple as 1-2-3!

Dawn A. is a perfect example of satisfied patient, who now looks years younger with only three visits to our office. Together with Cory Felber-Kahn, PA-C, they agreed upon a course of non-ablative treatments to improve Dawn's overall appearance. Using the latest Visia equipment, Dawn's skin was analyzed and mapped out to show her sun damage, wrinkles and skin imperfections, thus setting the course for her treatment.

Dawn's first visit was scheduled for Sculptra® injections to fill in hollow areas of the face, since we lose precious facial fat as we age. Her next appointment focused on improving muscle-driven wrinkles, and therefore Botox® injections were given. Finally, her last and third visit to see Cory included Restylane® injections (for static wrinkles) and a full-face microdermabrasion to exfoliate and polish her skin.

The overall result: A more rested, youthful, glowing appearance! All without surgery...No downtime… No anesthesia! The best part of all, it comes at a fraction of the cost of surgery!

While these non-ablative options are ideal for those with hectic schedules, there remains no replacement for permanent improvement inherent with surgical options. Whether you are looking for a permanent solution, or a temporary improvement, Marina Plastic Surgery Associates has the answers for you!

Pick the Perfect Nipple

Nipple Repair A new online poll at www.NippleRepair.com features a gallery of areolas and nipples and challenges you to weigh in on the perfect size and projection of this most sensitive area. While the poll gathers the popular vote, the site also allows women a chance to see how their own nipples compare to others and learn about the options for surgical nipple enhancement, which can be especially helpful for those who are self-conscious or worried about their own nipple size and shape.

BOTOX Buyers Guide

Nipple Repair So by now, you've heard that there was a "BOTOX Scare" in Florida. The patients who became ill in that case were given massive doses of an unregulated, unlicensed and unapproved bulk botulinum toxin that the DO (Doctor of Otolaryntology) attempted to mix on his own to save money. BOTOX®, made by Allergan, played no role in this unfortunate incident.

Dr. Stevens and Dr. Stoker both believe that this tragic incident should inspire everyone to make smart buying decisions. They advise:

Choose a medical office under the direction of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, with practitioners who are specially trained to administer BOTOX® Cosmetic
Demand the only FDA-approved and licensed botulinum toxin type A medical product in the United States, BOTOX® by Allergan.
Beware of "BOTOX Bargains." You get what you pay for; some doctors may dilute true BOTOX® to cut costs, which means less lasting results.

As a patient you should have the peace of mind of knowing that your doctor is adequately trained and using the correct product.
