If one understands that wrinkles of the skin are caused by the slow weakening of a patient’s deeper dermal structure over time, then it is obvious that replenishing, or filling in, the base of wrinkles will result in repair. The goal of the hyaluronic-acid fillers (Restylane and Juvederm) is to act as the liquid building block, filling smoothly and naturally the unwanted wrinkle or fold. Of the utmost importance in administering fillers is retaining the harmony and natural proportions of the face. Overzealous use and subsequent overfilling of natural and normal anatomic structures can produce unsightly results. It is therefore advisable to have these procedures done by board-certified plastic surgeons due to their thorough training and extensive knowledge of the deep anatomy of the body and its natural proportions. Dr. Weintraub’s patients return to him because his well-trained eye and over two decades of experience produce results that are natural and beautiful. The loyalty of his patients is based on the trust he will never make them look “overdone” or “freakish.” Used in conjunction with Botox, Dr. Weintraub also performs “Liquid Facelifts,” which not only erase the angry expressions from your face, but also help to revolumize the face and can, in fact, stave off the need for a traditional facelift until much later in life. Tired, sagging facial skin, thin lips, wrinkles and folds can all be corrected with fillers. The face is left refreshed, revolumized, with the smoothness and beauty of your teenage years.
