The options for cosmetic enhancement have changed drastically over the last few decades. The emergence of safe facial fillers and other cosmetic injectables and treatments have reduced the need for surgical procedures. Dr. Alexander Rivkin and our exceptional team of cosmetic experts at RIVKIN Aesthetics offers a wide assortment of non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures at our facility in Los Angeles, CA.
Plastic surgery was once the only way to dramatically change the appearance of the face. Lost volume under the skin and reduced skin elasticity could only be changed by removing and tightening skin. Changing the shape of facial features required implants inserted under the facial tissue. With innovations in cosmetic injectables and other non-surgical treatments, many of the same changes to the face can be accomplished without plastic surgery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Yes, it is safe for you to receive hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane, even with a history of colitis. To ensure the best outcome, it's important to consult with an experienced injector who specializes in facial aesthetics.
-
If you've had a hyaluronic acid-based filler like Juvederm, Restylane, or Belotero injected, it can be fully or partially dissolved using hyaluronidase, an injectable enzyme. Depending on the amount that was injected and needs to be dissolved, multiple injection points may be required. These injections can cause some discomfort as they may create a slight burning sensation when entering the skin. To help with the needle pricks, you can ask your injector to apply numbing cream beforehand. Overall, the procedure is usually quick and well-tolerated.
-
Yes, you can enhance your bridge and make your nose resemble its pre-surgery appearance. It's recommended to wait for 6 months after the procedure for the tissue to settle. A suitable filler for this purpose is Voluma, which is a hyaluronic acid filler known for its natural look and lasting effects of around 1 to 1.5 years. If desired, Voluma can be dissolved with an enzyme injection at any time. After one or two sessions of Voluma, you can consider transitioning to a permanent filler like Bellafill, so you won't necessarily need ongoing injections. It's important to note that non-surgical rhinoplasty is a complex procedure with higher risks compared to regular filler injections. Therefore, it's crucial to choose an experienced injector who specializes in this specific procedure.
-
Many people achieve a nice lift with Botox. When Botox is injected in specific areas, you can experience a lift of a few millimeters in your brows. This lift can help open and elongate your eyes. We recommend having a consultation with an experienced injector in person. Since the effects of Botox are temporary, there's little risk in giving it a try to see if you're happy with the results.
-
Considering fillers before opting for surgery is a wise approach whenever feasible. These fillers offer temporary results, which allows you to visualize how the outcome will look. Later, if you desire a more permanent solution, you can choose surgery. If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with the results of the fillers, there's always the option to dissolve them using hyaluronidase (if your injector used a hyaluronic acid filler).
To ensure the best possible results, it's crucial to seek an experienced injector who specializes in facial aesthetics. Their expertise will play a significant role in achieving the desired outcome.
-
While it's essential to determine the best treatments for your specific needs, I believe certain options can deliver the results you desire.Fillers can be highly effective when injected into the appropriate areas. Simply targeting the visible issues like marionettes or nasolabial areas may not address the root problem and can result in an unnatural appearance. Our faces have fat distributed in different segments, and the rate of volume depletion can vary from one area to another. When performing a "liquid facelift," I concentrate on the cheeks, pre-auricular space, temples, and peri-oral areas as they greatly benefit from volume replacement. Focusing on these regions can lead to a more balanced and rejuvenated look.
