    Lower Facelifts: Minimally-Invasive vs. Surgical (With Before & Afters)

    Concerns about the jowls, jawline, double chin, and neck are top reasons Joplin patients come to Dr. Talon Maningas for anti-aging procedures. Because each patient has unique goals and needs, Dr. Maningas offers both surgical options—the classic facelift and neck lift combination—and non-surgical, which provides a different pathway to a younger-looking appearance.

    How to Best Maintain Your Facelift Results and Investment Over Time

    A facelift is the ideal procedure to turn back the clock on aging and offers long-lasting, transformative results.

To help you protect your investment, Joplin cosmetic surgeon Dr. Talon Maningas shares how you can maintain your facelift results over time. First, follow postoperative care instructions The longevity of your results begins with your postsurgical care. We provide patients with very detailed aftercare instructions to support a speedy recovery and optimal results, as following these protocols is foundational to enjoying an outstanding outcome.

    4 Reasons Dermal Filler May Fade Faster Than You Expected

    Most facial fillers last somewhere between 6-18 months. If your injector gave you an estimate, but your results seem to be fading faster than you expected, here are some reasons this may be happening. 1. You received a filler with a shorter duration Each filler formula has a slightly different molecular structure that affects how long it lasts when injected—usually anywhere from 6 to 18 months or longer. For example, Juvéderm Volbella usually lasts about 12 months, while Juvéderm Vollure can last up to 18 months. If you received a longer-lasting filler in the past, but your injector used a filler with a shorter duration for your touch-up, then...

    What is the Golden Ratio of Facial Aesthetics?

    From Nefertiti’s stunning profile to the Parthenon of Rome, beauty has historically been recognized in harmonious proportionality. Some people have taken this idea a step further, suggesting that an ancient mathematical equation called the Golden Ratio can be used to assess a person’s attractiveness. In this month’s post, we’re taking a thorough look at the Golden Ratio (also referred to as the Divine Proportion) and whether or not it should be used as a benchmark for facial beauty. What is the Golden Ratio? The Golden Ratio is 1: 1.618, and the full equation states that when a line is divided into two parts in a ratio of 1: 1.618,...
