Are you sick of deep lines on your face and wish you could get a quick fix for the signs of aging around your mouth and eyes? You may think that Botox is your only option, but in fact there are other injectable cosmetics that plastic surgeons, such as Dr. Mar Bishara, use to treat some lines on the face. That’s why it’s important for individuals to understand the difference between injectables like Botox and facial fillers, like Juvederm.
What Botox does:
Botox and Xeomin are injectable medicines used to treat “active” facial lines, meaning those that have only recently formed. The medicine in injected into facial areas with wrinkles. Botox won’t result in a loss of the ability to show emotions on the face – the intention is to make subtle changes that will stop lines from forming while promoting a natural appearance.
What fillers do:
Dermal fillers are used to treat “firmly established wrinkles,” reports ASAPS. In addition to treating deep wrinkles, these cosmetics can alter the appearance of soft tissue – for example, they may be injected into the lips to make one’s pout appear fuller. Dr. Bishara will be able to tell which one is best for your personal desires.
Having a thorough consultation with us, in our Mansfield or Southlake location, before you agree to an injection can help you pick the best option. Dr. Bishara’s main focus is to help patients restore or achieve their ideal appearance in order to feel confident about the way they look. Please call our office at (817) 473-2120 to schedule a consult and see whether Botox or fillers are right for you.

Banking your fat and adult stem cells at BioLife Cell Bank is Easy through Bishara Cosmetic Surgery. Simply undergo your liposuction by a surgeon accredited with BioLife. Instead of having your liposuction body fat being disposed of as medical waste, BioLife Cell Bank gives you the opportunity to store it indefinitely and use it multiple times throughout your life, along with the adult stem and regenerative cells it contains. Scientist around the world have discovered that adipose (fat) tissue is a great source for adult stem and regenerative cells. Adults stem cells are undifferentiated, non-embryonic prototype cells that can mature and take on the identity of other body cells like fat, bone, tendon, nerve, muscle, cartilage, and more. These remarkable, regenerative cells are up to 500 times more abundant in your own body fat than in bone marrow or blood, according to Ray Zale, Chief Operating Officer for BioLIfe Cell Bank. Breakthrough technology and techniques have been designed that enable BioLife Cell Bank to safely process and then cryogenically store undamaged adipose tissue with its adult stem cells intact, for future use. This isn’t some far-fetched concept. Adult stem cell therapy is real, and it is safely and effectively used today, including use in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. If you are using your own banked fat for fat grafting versus having a fresh batch removed via liposuction, you can save money over time instead of relying on man-made injectable fillers. Man-made fillers last about 6 months or so and require repeated, regular injections for aesthetic maintenance. For a long time people have wanted body enhancing procedures like breast augmentation that didn’t require the placement of implants. With adult stem cell therapy boosting the potential of transferred fat, it makes it much more viable to use your own body fat to augment breasts, create shapely contours to the buttocks, and more. This gives you a natural alternative to implants that comes directly from you instead of man-made, synthetic, foreign material like silicon. Fat transfer also offers the benefits of minimal incisions and therefore minimal scars, less trauma, and faster recovery, compared to the placement of implants. There is a real advantage to being able to store fat and stem cells, and have them readily accessible for later use for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. When is the best time to harvest and store adipose tissue and adult stem cells? Experts agree the sooner the betters.

Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp is proud to announce that the FDA has approved the use of the Restylane hyaluronic acid dermal filler to incorporate lip augmentation. Restylane was formerly approved to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from the nose to the nasolabial folds. The new label will now include an indication for submucosal implantation for lip augmentation in patients over the age of 21.
Chairman and CEO of Medicis Jonah Shacknai, is pleased with FDA’s decision to expand the Restylane label to include lip augmentation. Restylane is now the first and only hyaluronic acid dermal filler approved in the United States for lip augmentation. 180 patients were evaluated during the study for six months. Safety was measured by adverse events reported throughout the study and patient diaries kept for two weeks after lip augmentation treatment.
Furthermore, Medicis designed nine lip safety assessments which were preformed at various intervals throughout the six month case study, including 72 hours after each treatment and again at two weeks after each treatment.
