Customizing Your Injectable Treatment by Area & Concern

Non-surgical aesthetic treatments offer a versatile and effective solution for a variety of cosmetic concerns. Injectables, in particular, can be highly beneficial for targeting specific areas with precision to help achieve a more youthful and refreshed look. These treatments provide a flexible, customized approach to rejuvenating facial features without the need for surgery. 

At Holzman Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Holzman specializes in tailoring non-surgical injectable treatments like neurotoxins and dermal fillers to meet the unique needs of each patient. Whether you’re aiming to smooth lines, restore volume, or enhance certain facial contours, these treatments can be strategically applied to areas where rejuvenation is most desired. 

Common Facial Areas Treated with Injectables

Upper Face: 

• Forehead Lines: Horizontal forehead wrinkles can be addressed with neurotoxins, creating smoother, more even-looking skin. 
• Glabella (Between the Eyebrows): Wrinkles and lines in this area, often referred to as “frown lines,” can be smoothed with neurotoxin injectables, offering a more relaxed and refreshed look. 
• Crow’s Feet: Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes can be minimized with neurotoxins, softening the expression and giving a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. 

Mid-Face:

• Tear Troughs: The under-eye area can be treated with filler injections to reduce dark circles and hollows, often resulting in a brighter, more rested appearance. 
• Cheeks: Loss of volume in the cheeks can lead to a hollowed or sagging appearance. Dermal fillers can help restore fullness, providing lift and definition. 
• Nasolabial Folds: Also known as “smile lines” or “parentheses,” these run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Fillers can smooth the area and restore volume.

Lower Face: 

• DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris): The corners of the mouth can be lifted with neurotoxins to correct downward-facing lines and restore a more cheerful, balanced look. 
• Lips: Dermal fillers can create a subtle lip enhancement by improving their shape, symmetry, and volume. To create the look of a fuller, more defined upper lip, neurotoxins can provide a “lip flip” by relaxing the muscles in this area.
• Perioral Lines: Fine vertical lines around the mouth, often called “lipstick lines” or “smoker’s lines,” can be softened with dermal fillers.
• Masseter Muscle (Jawline): Neurotoxins can soften the appearance of a square jawline by relaxing the masseter muscle, providing relief for teeth grinding and jaw tension. 
• Platysma Neck Bands: These vertical bands, often visible in the neck area, can be diminished with neurotoxins, resulting in a more toned and youthful neck profile. 
• Earlobe Rejuvenation: Over time, earlobes may sag or thin. Filler treatments can restore volume, which can enhance their shape and firmness.
