BOTOX Cosmetic vs. Dermal Fillers

    TAMPA, FL, April 17, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As age starts to draw lines on your face, you'll want to consider your options for returning your skin to a more youthful appearance. Not every solution is right for every face, so it's important that you talk with your Tampa area plastic surgeon about whether BOTOX Cosmetic or dermal fillers are right for you.

The BOTOX Cosmetic Solution

BOTOX Cosmetic reduces the appearance of wrinkles because it relaxes the muscles of your face and prevents them from being overactive. As your muscles relax, the wrinkles and folds they created when tensed will start to smooth out and reduce the signs of aging.

BOTOX Cosmetic is most often used to treat wrinkles in these areas:
- Crow's feet at the corner of your eyes
- Lines across your forehead
- Vertical lines between your eyebrows
- Wrinkles on the side of your nose, often called "bunny lines"
- Wrinkles around your mouth, referred to as "lipstick lines"

The most common cosmetic procedure performed by plastic surgeons, BOTOX Cosmetic is safe and effective. BOTOX can be a great alternative for younger patients who aren't quite ready for a face lift.

The Dermal Fillers Option

Dermal fillers rejuvenate your look by using biologically compatible injectables to fill out areas of your face that suffer from volume loss or wrinkles.

Dermal fillers are used to enhance areas, such as:
- Thin lips
- Cheek bones
- Depressions under your eyes
- Lines around your mouth
- Receding chin

In general fillers are very effective and produce few side effects. You should make sure that your plastic surgeon is skilled with injecting fillers and has a very good understanding of facial anatomy so that the placement of fillers enhances your natural beauty.
