Heard All the Buzz About the BOTOX Lip Flip? Here’s What it Can and Can’t Do.

Heard All the Buzz About the BOTOX Lip Flip? Here’s What it Can and Can’t Do.

Lip fillers have become ubiquitous over the last few years, and Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Kysse™ have become household names. As a result, injectors have begun to pay more attention to the very delicate lip area. The cosmetics world even found a way to enhance the lips with BOTOX®, the injectable usually used to treat wrinkles. This procedure is known as the Botox lip flip. You have probably heard about the lip flip, a specialized injection of the popular toxin that gives the upper lip a little extra zhuzh. While it’s no substitute for lip filler, the lip flip is a useful nonsurgical option that can help achieve many...

Nora Ephron Hated Her Neck. We Bet She Would Have Loved this Technology.

In the 2006 book I Feel Bad About My Neck, Nora Ephron writes candidly about the tribulations of aging—specifically, the neck. “There are scrawny necks and fat necks, loose necks, crepey necks, banded necks, wrinkled necks, stringy necks, saggy necks, flabby necks, mottled necks,” she writes of herself and her fellow women friends who she meets for lunch, all of them outfitted in neck-concealing turtlenecks and scarves.

Woman Gets Results from RF Assisted Liposuction at Maningas Cosmetic Surgery

6 Ways RF-Assisted Liposuction is Better than CoolSculpting

Liposuction can do so much: we can use it from chin-to-toe to achieve body contours our patients didn’t believe were possible.

But while CoolSculpting may be a catchier, more “newsworthy” body contouring procedure, we advise our Joplin body contouring patients to go with the one that works every time: BodyTite™ RF-assisted...
