Discover The Ease and Convenience of Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Joel Beck

When it comes to living your life, you don’t want to settle for second best because you’re self-conscious about your chin. But before you consider expensive surgeries and chin implants, consider a better and more natural-looking alternative: non-surgical chin augmentation.

A Better-Looking Chin – Without The Invasive Surgery

At the Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery in San Mateo, California – also serving the greater Bay Area including San Jose and San Francisco – Dr. Joel Beck and his talented medical team specialize in non-surgical chin augmentations. Unlike other chin procedures, a non-surgical chin augmentation doesn’t involve implants at all; in fact, the stunning results can be achieved with dermal fillers like Radiesse.

While Radiesse’s more popular use is to restore the volume and smoothness of the face – while also diminishing fine lines and wrinkles – Radiesse can also subtly shift the look of your chin, thus restoring balance to the face. After a consultation with Dr. Beck – where you’ll outline the exact results you’re looking for – Dr. Beck will inject Radiesse into specific areas of your chin. These injections can build up and shift the profile of your chin, thus creating a more balanced and symmetrical look.

The non-surgical chin augmentation procedure is performed over the course of two visits, which take between fifteen to twenty minutes each. After each procedure, you may experience swelling and tenderness in the treatment areas; however, this is relatively minor and most patients go back to work the next day looking naturally flawless.

It’s important to note that the results of your non-surgical chin augmentation will only last between nine to fourteen months. Therefore, be sure to keep up with your appointments, as this will ensure your new symmetrical chin becomes a permanent feature on your gorgeous visage.

Discover the Stunning Results of Non-Surgical Nose Jobs

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Joel Beck

If you’re unhappy with the general shape and appearance of your nose, you may have briefly toyed with the idea of getting rhinoplasty, or a nose job. Yet maybe the cost of getting a nose job held you back from going under the procedure, or the idea of spending several weeks in recovery stopped you from consulting a plastic surgeon.

No matter what your reasons, you don’t want to undergo an invasive procedure to get the nose of your dreams – but nevertheless, you still want it.

That’s where Dr. Joel Beck and his talented team come into play. At Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery in San Mateo, California – also serving the greater Bay Area, including San Jose and San Francisco – we understand your desire to achieve an ideal nose shape without undergoing surgery. That’s why Dr. Beck, a board certified plastic surgeon, has developed an innovative way to produce stunning results with non-surgical nose jobs.

The Secret Behind Non-Surgical Nose Jobs

So what’s the secret, you might ask? Simple: instead of using invasive procedures to re-shape the nose via rhinoplasty, Dr. Beck uses dermal fillers to subtly shift and re-shape the appearance of the nose. Dermal fillers like Juvederm, Radiesse and Restylane are typically used as anti-aging treatments and injected into the face to diminish the look of fine lines, wrinkles and creases.

Juvederm, Radiesse and Restylane are also used to increase facial volume and define the contours of the face – which is exactly why these injections are used within non-surgical nose jobs. During the non-surgical nose job procedure – which typically takes between twenty to thirty minutes to perform – Dr. Beck will inject these filler materials on and around the nose to create the look you desire. Recovery time is virtually non-existent, which means you can come in on your lunch hour and come out with a significantly improved profile – even your sunglasses will fit better!

Discover A Better Alternative to Rhinoplasty

This is a perfect procedure for patients who are looking to smooth out sharp nose angles, fill in depressions, or change the angle of the nose tip. The overall goal of the non-surgical nose job is to restore symmetry to the face; however, it’s important to note that these results are not permanent. That’s why it’s important to schedule appointments every six months to one year, depending on the fillers used during your procedure.

If you’re ready to discover a better alternative to rhinoplasty, visit Dr. Beck at Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery today.

Did Megan Fox Get a Little Plastic Surgery?

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Joel Beck

Although Megan Fox does not admit to having had any plastic surgery to her face or body – we seem to believe otherwise. If you pay close attention to pictures of Megan Fox a few years ago compared to today you will notice a subtle difference in her nose and a definite difference in her breast size. Do you think Megan Fox has had rhinoplasty or did her make-up artist do a really great job at contouring her nose? Do you think she has had a breast augmentation or is she just wearing a really great push-up bra?? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

3 More Reasons to Love Botox

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Joel Beck

Everyone loves Botox for its ability to treat facial wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines. However, most people are unaware of the amazing potential of this toxin, and the issues it can help treat. Check out our top 3:

Urinary Incontinence

According to Botox Cosmetic, botox can treat overactive bladder symptoms such as a strong need to urinate with leaking or wetting accidents (urge urinary incontinence), a strong need to urinate right away (urgency), and urinating often (frequency) in adults when another type of medicine (anticholinergic) does not work well enough or cannot be taken.

Severe Underarm Sweating

Botox has been proven to effectively treat severe underarm sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. If you have used topical medications and they did not work well enough, then contact your insurance provider to see if they cover Botox as a form of treatment – you may be able to get all or most of your Botox treatments covered!

Chronic Migraines

Migraine sufferers who have a headache for 4 or more hours a day,15 or more days a month can now turn to Botox as a form of treatment. The treatment consists of injections to 7 key areas of the neck and head. To learn more about this treatment process visit Botox Cosmetic.

The Top 5 Plastic Surgery Procedures in 2012

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Joel Beck

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) there were 14.6 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States in 2012. This infographic highlights the rise in plastic surgery procedures since 2000, a 98% increase in procedures performed, and indicates that facial procedures saw the most growth in 2012. Botox and fillers were the top 2 minimally invasive procedures performed in 2012 – and we must say, we are not surprised! These days people are seeking out the less invasive facial procedures to hold onto their youth, and these dermal fillers are the way to go.

With the rise of social media, people are feeling more compelled to keep up their physical appearance. Do you think social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram have anything to do with the rise in facial plastic surgery procedures?

Look Younger with the Liquid Facelift

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Joel Beck

Have you heard the hype about the liquid facelift, also known as the lunchtime facelift? The buzz about this popular facial rejuvenation treatment is partially due to the fact that it is a non-surgical procedure and requires minimal downtime – that equals two pluses in the plastic surgery industry!

Many celebrities are turning to this form of a “facelift” because it is a quick way to restore facial volume and reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles and deep creases. Jill Zarin, former housewife from The Real Housewives of New York, shares her love for the liquid facelift in a video featured on US Magazine. Watch Jill get a liquid facelift!

How is a Liquid Lift Performed?

A liquid facelift incorporates Botox and dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Perlane and Sculptra. It may also involve a fat transfer. Depending on the goal of the particular case, the application of these products and the specific techniques used varies by patient.

Dermal fillers add volume to areas of the face such as the under-eye area, the lips and the cheeks. Dr. Beck injects the dermal fillers at specific points to improve the overall appearance of the face.
Botox smoothes lines and creases caused by years of facial muscle movement by paralyzing strategic muscles around the eyes, eyebrows and forehead.
Fat transfer involves harvesting the patient’s fat from a donor area of the body where it is more plentiful (e.g., the abdomen, hips or thighs) and injecting it into the face to add volume. Dr. Beck uses the fat to smooth deep-set wrinkles, enhance thin lips or augment the tissues in the cheeks or chin. Fat transfer is a great option because it is completely natural, and the results last a very long time. Also, there is no risk of allergic reaction.
