Chow Center for Facial Plastic Surgery

Nineteen years ago today, I was scheduled to fly across the country to be best man at my best friend’s wedding. I never made it there. I was one of the lucky ones. #neverforget #NineEleven

Not everyone wants a massive size change to their #lips . Sometimes, a subtle but significant change is preferred. This patient of mine is a good example. She wanted to alter the shape of her , so she would no longer have a thin pursed lip appearance. Careful use of #filler helped to produce a fuller, more relaxed shape. She was extremely happy to have natural looking lips that did not look swollen or tube-like! #lipfiller #facial #plasticsurgery #makeup #botox #juvederm #restylane #kysse #sgv #arcadiacalifornia #chowcenter

Want to improve that #jawline without surgery? Although I am a double-board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, I enjoy offering the full spectrum of complimentary treatments for the face and neck. For this patient, who wanted a #nonsurgical #facelift with minimal down time, we chose #Ultherapy and good skin care. I design a customized treatment plan for each of my patients according to her or his needs. Even treatments such as Ultherapy can be uniquely tailo...red for each individual. I don’t believe in a generic paint-by-numbers plan, where everyone has the same treatment performed. While patients may share similarities with one another, each of us is unique in our anatomy, genetics, and cosmetic goals. I always take the time to personally communicate with my patients to learn their aesthetic concerns, and I formulate a plan specific to each patient. This patient was thrilled within two weeks, although results can take several months before appearing. The after photos were taken at 2 months. #facial #plasticsurgery #beauty #necklift #nomakeup #skincare

Horizontal #wrinkles on the #forehead form when we raise the eyebrows to express ourselves (or look up!). Over time, more permanent wrinkles begin to form. Through the judicious use of #Botox on this patient of mine, I was able to smooth her forehead without making her eyebrows droop, which can be a common side effect when getting Botox treatments to the forehead. Because I am a #doubleboardcertified #facial #plasticsurgeon, I have an intimate understanding of the anatomy of ...the #face. By learning your aesthetic goals first, and then explaining the benefits of Botox and #fillers, I can be much more precise in my treatments. #fashion #makeup #beauty #smoothskin #nowrinkles #plasticsurgery

Many patients have asked me what procedures are the most popular these days. While I have performed a lot of forehead lifts and eyelid lifts, #Botox still remains as popular as ever. In this patient of mine, you can see the deep furrows between her eyebrows, giving her an angry, stressed, and tired appearance. After her treatment, she looks relaxed! She has gotten rid of the lines, even though she’s squinting with effort to make the same expression. The treatment generally ta...kes a few minutes at most, though I always spend much more time explaining the procedure. I also usually use topical numbing cream to make the experience much easier, particularly for first time patients. If you would like to learn more about this procedure, call us at (626) 447-3223 #facial #plasticsurgery #beauty #wrinkles #fashion #chowcenter #elevens We have #jeuveau and other #neuromodulators available, too!

Happy Independence Day! A throwback to a few years ago, when my daughter first learned to accessorize! #july4th #independenceday #family
