Aesthetic injections are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles and/or add volume to various parts of the face. These injectables fall into two general categories; fillers and neuromodulators. Dr. Frankel is a leading expert on utilizing injectables to treat a wide variety of issues and has published several original studies and lectured internationally on the subject. Injectables are commonly used to elevate the eyebrows or modify their shape and treat various wrinkles around the upper one third of the face. Other uses for aesthetic injections include lifting the corners of the mouth, filling in folds, elevating the cheeks, improving the jawline, rejuvenating the earlobes, eliminating dimples in the chin, and treating some types of scars. Many people choose injectable fillers as an alternative to invasive plastic surgery, or in combination with other procedures to enhance their rejuvenation results. In addition to manufactured injectables, fat transfer may also be appropriate in situations where a large amount of volume is required. This involves harvesting fat cells from one part of the body and injecting that fat elsewhere. There are advantages and disadvantages to fat injections and Dr. Frankel will discuss this with you at your consultation.
