Dermal filler use is much more scientific now than it was in earlier years and the products available for injection keep getting better and better. Our focus is now on the whole face, the proportions of the face and the specific structures that have changed. Dermal fillers are used in many different locations to restore lost [...]

"Are you tired?" "What are you so mad about?" "You look sad today." How often do you hear questions like that and think "I'm not tired" "I'm not mad about anything" "I feel fine" ?

I think you'll agree these are definite festoons. Click here and here for examples of less advanced changes.This is another person who received Dr. [...]
In an earlier post, I talked about that diagonal line that runs from the inner corner of the eye downwards and outwards on the cheek.
