Saving Face...No Need For A Knife! ((botulinum toxin type A). "Non...),Health

"Non-surgical facial contouring is an essential part of facial rejuvenation and facial aesthetics," said Trevor Born MD, a plastic surgeon from Toronto, Canada and New York City. "There are many options, and the results with fillers can be fabulous, with minimal downtime."

With the increasing number of products becoming available, it is essential that practitioners understand the nuances of the different agents and the importance of selecting the proper agent based on the patient, area of the face, and other factors. "Knowledge of facial anatomy, for example," said Z. Paul Lorenc, MD, a plastic surgeon with a practice in New York City, "is crucial in minimizing possible complications in non-surgical facial rejuvenation."

Despite the growing popularity of non-surgical cosmetic treatments, facelifts are still a main component of many surgical practices, with over 132,000 procedures performed in 2008 according to ASAPS data. And it need not be a "one or the other" proposition: cosmetic surgery results can be enhanced by both pre and post-operative non-surgical procedures.

"I routinely use non-surgical modalities to maintain a great surgical result post-surgery," said Dr. Lorenc. "As aesthetic plastic surgeons, we are able to offer patients a comprehensive approach for facial rejuvenation, from non-surgical options to surgical correction."
