If you’re dissatisfied with the look of your nose, or you literally would like to sleep better or breathe more easily, take a moment to explore whether rhinoplasty is the right procedure for you.
Wrinkles are often associated with aging, but some wrinkles, called dynamic wrinkles, form due to repetitive facial expressions -- like furrowing your brow. But thankfully, you’re not stuck with these wrinkles and creases. Botox is a minimally invasive injectable designed to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
In addition to reducing the appearance of pesky wrinkles, Botox can also boost your self-confidence and help you look as young as you feel. If you’re ready to refresh your appearance but not sure what’s myth versus fact regarding Botox, don’t hesitate to reach out to a friendly member of our team.

During your consultation, Dr. Furze determines the severity of the dynamic wrinkles and the most effective number of Botox units to smooth wrinkles without sacrificing the ability to contract your facial muscles naturally.
Remember, Botox is designed to gently relax the facial muscles.
You’ve probably heard that you can’t perform daily activities after your Botox injections, but thankfully, that isn’t true. When compared to more invasive procedures like face lifts or chemical peels, Botox is one of the simplest procedures with zero downtime required. That means you can return to work or tackle your errands immediately after a Botox session.
Note: Even though there is no downtime, it can take anywhere from 24-48 hours for you to notice results.
Since 2002, Botox injections have been FDA-approved for cosmetic uses in healthy adults (male or female) aged 18-65*. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Botox is the number one requested minimally invasive cosmetic procedure -- over 7 million procedures are done each year.
*Dr. Furze offers Botox to individuals aged 21 and up.
Botox does contain onabotulinumtoxinA, but when diluted, the injections are considered safe. According to the FDA, Botox consists of only three ingredients:
The most common side effects are temporary redness or bruising. Good news -- you can reduce post-injection bruising by avoiding foods and supplements that thin the blood. Green tea, fish oil capsules, and vitamin E are some of the biggest culprits. If you’re considering Botox, let us know what supplements you take during your consultation.
If you’ve been contemplating Botox, start your journey with a consultation to find out if Botox is right for you. At Alexis D. Furze, MD, FACS, Dr. Furze and our team of professionals are ready to help you reach your aesthetic goals with minimally invasive procedures.
