Procedure Botox® / Dermal Fillers

As we age, our skin tends to lose its elasticity, which can result in wrinkles, creases, fine lines, and other visible signs of time’s passage. What if there was a simple, non-surgical way to minimize those signs?

At Moraitis Plastic Surgery, we know that many of our clients long to have full, healthy lips. Ideally without the need for any kind of surgical intervention. Moraitis Plastic Surgery is pleased to provide lip enhancement through VOLBELLA™, an FDA-approved injectable filler that is available from JUVÉDERM®.

BOTOX® is a therapeutic agent derived from bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum; Also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A. It is produced under controlled laboratory conditions. Originally used for the treatment of blepharospasm (eye spasm) and strabismus (misalignment of the eye), the FDA approved BOTOX® as a cosmetic wrinkle remedy in 2002.

As aging begins to cause changes on the face, fine lines, wrinkles, and folds will inevitably appear. But thanks to the advancements in today’s non-surgical anti-aging techniques, you do not have to live with those changes—or go under the knife to improve them. Jennifer Carney, PA-C at Moraitis Plastic Surgery in Palm Harbor and Clearwater, has the training and skill to effectively reduce the appearance of the classic signs of aging through the use of dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE™ XC.

JUVÉDERM® is a cosmetic filler that is colorless and is comprised of hyaluronic acid gel. JUVÉDERM® adds volume to facial tissue, softens wrinkles and folds, and enhances the fullness of lips. JUVÉDERM® has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid which makes it smoother.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel is the first and only dermal filler that is FDA-approved, which instantly adds volume specifically to the cheek area. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC provides a subtle lift, which helps to restore contour and delivers a more youthful profile, for up to 2 years.

Kybella® is a synthetic deoxycholic acid injection used to improve the appearance of submental fat, also known as a double chin. Palm Harbor and Clearwater patients who are unhappy with or self-conscious about the fat under their chin can greatly benefit from this treatment, as well as those who do not wish to undergo surgery.
