Results: Depending on the age, shape/morphologic features of the face, and goals of the patient, some or all of these treatments maybe combined to have an excellent outcome while maintaining a natural look. Toxins will address dynamic wrinkles and bulky masseter muscles. Fillers can reshape, give structure or provide volume. Lipolysis can reduce superficial fat, usually the jowl and submental fat. Threads can tighten the skin of the neck, elevate the mid/lower face as well as reposition fat. The other injectable treatments can either be done before, after, or the same day as the thread treatment.
Conclusion: In order to achieve, safe, beautiful and natural-looking outcomes, proper assessment, careful planning, and timely execution must be done. Injectable treatments in combination become powerful tools in aesthetic practice.
