Now a Non-Surgical Approach to creating a more youthful Facial Contour and expression by minimizing Facial Wrinkles.

Various fillers can be utilized to eliminate wrinkles, creases, and to fill in defects to create a more youthful facial contour. Whenever possible, fat transfer from the inner thigh or abdomen is used to fill in nasolabial folds or to augment the lips, cheeks, and lower eyelids. These areas are also augmented with collagen, which usually results in a smoother contour. Other fillers that can be used to create a more youthful facial contour include: Gortex Strands, Soft-Form, and Alloderm. These latter substances are used when a more lasting result is desired, or upon patient request.

Botox is a substance that is derived chemically from an inactivated neurotoxin called Botulinus. This treatment is safely used to inactivate muscle activity that can create wrinkles in the forehead, the vertical 'globular' folds between the eyebrows, and the "crow's feet" area near the eyes. By inactivating these muscles, a smoother and more youthful contour of the skin can be established.

The Collagen and Botox procedures are performed in Dr. Beltran's office and usually take only about twenty minutes.

The Fat Transfer procedure is performed in a sterile operating room environment.
