BOTOX® Cosmetic - Fine Wrinkles Around the Lips

To view before and after photos of BOTOX Cosmetic treatments offine wrinkles around your lips

Fine lines and wrinkles around your lips can be caused by smoking, puckering, sun damage, and genetics. These lines can be relaxed and softened with BOTOX® Cosmetic.

For deeper wrinkles and lines in this area Dr. Edwin F. Williams recommends a combination of BOTOX® Cosmetic and a soft tissue filler treatment like Juvederm or Restylane. After treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic muscles around the mouth are relaxed and no longer forming lip lines. With the addition of a soft tissue filler any residual lines are filled in and softened giving the youthful appearance our patients desire.

He wants to have surgery but I feel he is too young.

November 19th

My 8-year-old son is constantly teased because of his large ears. He wants to have surgery but I feel he is too young, is still growing and may regret having surgery in the future. What can I say to him to deter him from wanting this?

Obviously, a decision to have surgery on a child's ears should be a well informed decision and something that both the parents and the child wish to proceed forward with. In our experience, children at the age of 5 or older are good candidates for the surgery. This is the age when they begin to experience some degree of teasing at school and become more aware of their body image. At the same time the ears themselves have grown to close to their final adult size and therefore the surgery can be done safely and effectively at this age.

One of my ears has always been slightly larger than the other.

One of my ears has always been slightly larger than the other. I now have the financial ability to undergo otoplasty to fix my issue. What is the usual recovery time for such a procedure so that I can give my job notification?

Typically the recovery after otoplasty is approximately one week. There still may be some residual tenderness and mild degree of swelling after the procedure however most patients are able to return to work after one week.
