Plastic Surgery Injection Options
Aazdak Alisimo
It seems like everyone is getting plastic surgery today - from the rich and famous in Hollywood to soccer moms in the suburbs. Whether people are just becoming more and more dissatisfied with their bodies or there is more pressure to look good, more people are going under the knife.
Some of the most impressive plastic surgeons in the world are not using scalpels and knives to do their sculpting, instead, they are using hypodermic needles and injectable substances. This new type of plastic surgery is being completed in offices from Paris to Los Angeles.
Most of the injectable plastic surgery options are aimed at combating age - that is, they are good for either filling wrinkles or reducing their appearance. The most popular of these substances is actually derived from a toxic and deadly poison - botulism. You might know it as Botox.
The most common of these surgery-free plastic surgery techniques is Botox. This popular injection is made from the botulism toxin, and it is injected into patients who are worried about wrinkles - particularly in the brow line. This injection freezes the nerves in the area.
Injections of Botox in this area can "freeze" the muscles around these wrinkles, causing a smoother appearance and relaxing the wrinkled area. Patients who get this sort of injected plastic surgery often look younger without needing a face lift or other plastic surgery treatment.
The purpose of smoothing brow muscles is to release the wrinkles that develop here - often called frown lines. While Botox is excellent at removing these wrinkles, it is not meant for use on wrinkles in other areas of the face, and will not work on these areas lower on the face.
Restylane is another injectable plastic surgery item that can help with wrinkles. It consists of hyaluronic acid - a compound which can help fill in areas of the skin that are wrinkled due to age. This substance is most often used in areas around the mouth and lips, to fill in lines that form here.
There are other injectable plastic surgery items - collagen, and other chemicals and fillers that can be used to plump lips, fill in other wrinkles and smooth the texture of your face. All of these treatments can be discussed with a board certified plastic surgeon, who can let you know if they are right for you.
While not all plastic surgery can be done with injections, there are many alternatives to traditional plastic surgeries that include the many injectables that are available on the market today. Exploring these options may help you delay major surgery.
