Browlift and Eyelid Surgery in Men

Male surgery is not the same as for the female client. The aesthetics in men is very different and one consideration is that we do not want to feminize their look. Men’s eyebrows are typically low slung and generally men do not show a lot of their upper eyelid skin.

In Wayne Newton’s surgery, it is more than the missing moustache that changes his look. His newly elevated brow looks youthful, but the amount of eyelid which shows now is too different from his previous look and emphasizes the difference in the size of his eyes.

Dr. Szachowicz really believes in the value of education before any male has rejuvenation surgery. Even for the famous, a more restrained & conservative approach retains the character of the person far better than a dramatic change.

Juvederm Ultra lip and line filler has just launched its new product upgrade – it now contains lidocaine, an anesthetic. This makes the injection of the gel filler much more comfortable, both at the time of placement and for some time afterward. Some people have reported that they don’t require a dental block placed before the injection of the new Juvederm into sensitive areas, like the lips. 

So come try out the new, more comfortable Juvederm. Whether this is your first experience with gel fillers, or if you want to experience gel fillers with the lidocaine within, try Juvederm Ultra.

Fraxel Re:store is Safe for Patients of Color

June 8th, 2009

 We are grateful to everyone who allows the sharing of their images before and after treatment. We often get requests to show more images of people of color who undertake the most popular treatments such as Fraxel skin resurfacing.

We are proud to show the before and after images of a 66 year old man with a history of acne when younger. As he matured, the acne became more noticeable.

He wanted a procedure which would improve the texture and quality of his skin without damaging his pigmentation or give him a patchy tone to his skin.

After a series of five Fraxel re:store treatments, his pigment became even a smooth and the deep textural scarring was softened.

Our office is starting our fifth year with Fraxel re:store skin laser resurfacing with good improvement in people of color. Out treatment protocols have been tested over time. Dr. Szachowicz teaches as a consultant for Fraxel on both the re:store and re:pair skin resurfacing lasers.

Video Imaging During Rhinoplasty Consultations

This woman just wanted to reduce the bump on her nose so that her facial proportions appear more harmonious. During her consultation, video imaging was used to help simulate the appearance of a conservative rhinoplasty, and educate her on the nose surgery procedure itself. The image was brought into the operating room to act as a map and reminder of the result that was discussed in the consultation. The third picture is her result at one year, which is very close to her predicted result.

Video imaging helps as a communication tool during the consult. Of course, the image cannot be a guarantee; but just to have the same vision that is in your mind communicated to your surgeon is extremely helpful in getting to the results you anticipate.
