The doctors at the Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery offer Belotero solutions for patients in Austin & Sunset Valley, TX. With treatments like Belotero Balance, doctors help men and women release their inner beauty. Balance is a non-surgical procedure that refreshes the skin, improves its overall appearance and reduces signs of aging. If aging is getting you down, a simple Balance treatment may boost your self-confidence and restore your youthful appearance. Buckingham Center’s doctors specialize in providing smooth, natural-looking results for men and women.

THE BELOTERO BALANCE

PROCEDURE

Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid injectable filler that adds volume to smooths lines and wrinkles. The amount of hyaluronic acid in our skin is naturally depleted as we age, and Belotero replenishes this important substance during a simple in-office treatment. Each treatment produces instant results, discreetly enhancing facial contours and replacing lost hyaluronic acid. The treatment also moisturizes and hydrates the skin, which creates a radiant Belotero Balance glow.

FILLERS AND BELOTERO DIFFERENCES

Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid filler that is similar to Restylane and JUVÉDERM, but it is constituted differently to treat superficial lines and wrinkles without appearing lumpy or creating a bluish hue that is referred to as the Tyndall effect. Belotero Balance is ideal for redefining the lip border, as well as for treating the wrinkles and lines that develop around the nose and mouth. In addition, Balance can address:

  • Frown lines in the glabellar region
  • Crow’s feet/Periorbital lines
  • Lines on the bridge of the nose
  • Nasolabial folds and smile lines
  • Perioral lines around the mouth and lips (i.e., pouting lines)
  • Marionette lines/folds around the mouth and chin (i.e., laugh lines)
  • Forehead lines (i.e., worry lines)
  • Under-the-eye hollows or circles

EXPECTATIONS

Belotero is an excellent dermal filler that is used to restore a more youthful and radiant appearance. The moisturizing and rehydrating benefits of Belotero Balance provide a healthy glow. Each treatment is customized to match the patient’s requests, and the doctor discusses the expectations with each patient during their consultation. Belotero smooths and fills lines, wrinkles, and folds, and the results last for approximately six months.

RECOVERY

Belotero Balance requires little to no downtime or recovery period. The results are instant, and patients can immediately return to their regular work schedule and activities. Some minor bruising, swelling and redness can be experienced initially, but these symptoms quickly fade. Patients enjoy quick, natural-looking results that fade away lines and signs of aging.

CONSULTATION

One of our doctors meets privately with the patient. After reviewing their medical history, the doctor asks about the specific goals and cosmetic concerns that brought the patient in for the consultation, and you can ask the things to know about Belotero you are most concerned. The doctor then completes a detailed facial analysis and provides each patient with a personalized treatment plan based on his or her goals. In addition, the doctor explains the advantages and disadvantages of each recommended surgical or nonsurgical procedure, including Belotero Balance. Although the Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery offers several exceptional dermal fillers, our doctors will only suggest the filler that is best for the patient. If Balance is recommended, the injections may be completed during that visit.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE PROCEDURE

Professional nurse injectors perform Belotero Balance treatments at the Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery in Austin, Texas. Balance injections are administered with a very fine needle to smooth moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. The procedure takes about 45 minutes, and the results are seen instantly as the lines and wrinkles are filled. Balance quickly and evenly integrates into the skin to provide subtle, smooth and natural-looking changes. Buckingham Center’s nurse injectors strategically fill wrinkles, folds and hollows that are pre-determined during the consultation, giving each patient the more youthful and refreshed look that they desire.

*Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.

The medical professionals at the Buckingham Center feel that successful facial rejuvenation treatments and plastic surgery result from the development and maintenance of good rapport between the patient, the nurses, doctors and staff during the consultation and future appointments. The consultation will include a complete facial analysis to determine the best procedure to bring about the desired results, and all questions relating to the patient’s specific concerns will be addressed.

Prospective patients are encouraged to call the office to schedule an appointment at their earliest convenience.

THE IDEAL BELOTERO BALANCE CANDIDATE

The ideal Balance candidate is a male or female who is in generally good health, over the age of 21, and has moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles or volume depletion. The ideal Balance candidate has reasonable expectations and understands that a filler provides great improvements but cannot achieve the significant or lasting benefits of a surgical procedure. Balance may also be performed in conjunction with an additional surgical treatment, such as an eyebrow lift or rhinoplasty. The medical professionals at the Buckingham Center never pressure patients into having additional treatments.

FILLER COST

Financing packages are available that fit most budgets, and Balance is priced similarly to other popular fillers. The cost will depend on the number of injections and vials of Balance that are needed.
