Which Aesthetic Treatment Is More Suitable?

In an age of overwhelming information and growing confusion, knowing what to accept and what to ignore has become very important. Today, I want to underline several issues related to my field: aesthetic surgery.

Collagen filler or fat grafting?

The answer can be both — but the essential question is what we are doing for whom. Collagen-based fillers can be successful for restoring small volume deficits, while fat grafting becomes more important and necessary in markedly deflated, volume-depleted faces.

Brow lift or botulinum toxin?

A common confusion is mistaking the secondary brow-elevating effect of botulinum toxin for its main purpose. We use botulinum toxin primarily to treat dynamic expression lines. Even patients who undergo brow suspension or facelift surgery may still benefit from botulinum toxin for mimetic wrinkles.

If the main issue is brow descent, then a brow lifting approach is needed. These are not interchangeable treatments.

Silicone breast implant or fat injection to the breast?

My preference is usually silicone breast implants for breast augmentation. Breast enlargement with fat transfer is possible, but indications, expectations and achievable volume differ. The right choice depends on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
