Upper Face and Temples
Before & After Gallery

Procedure: Earlobe Filler

Provider: Monica Bonakdar, MD

Patient Information: 45 Year Old Female

Dr. Bonakdar Explains: This patient came did not like her flattened, deflated earlobes. She could no longer wear earrings. Clips would fall off and pierced earrings did not look pleasing. Aging affects the entire face, even your earlobes, which can wrinkle and thin as collagen production decreases. I injected dermal fillers into the earlobes and in front of the ear with cannula. This reflates the lobe and disguises the wrinkles. The patient is very happy that she can wear earrings again.

Procedure: Correction of Forehead Creases

Provider: Monica Bonakdar, MD

Patient Information: 49 Year Old Male

Dr. Bonakdar Explains: Static lines on the forehead and between brows that are present at rest are unresponsive to neurotoxins, such as Botox. These lines have developed over time because of hyperdynamic facial muscle movements break down internal skin collagen within the skin folds with constant movement. Filler treatments can address this issue and restore the forehead back to its original state. Botox can help minimize deeper etching of these static lines. Botox and filler can work hand in hand to reverse unwanted signs of aging.
