Q: Should I have Botox or fillers?

A: It depends. If the wrinkles are secondary to facial expression and animation, Botox is the answer. If the lines are present when the face is relaxed, fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm will do the trick. Sometimes you may need both. Every treatment should be tailored to the needs of the individual. Having realistic expectations of what can be achieved is important. Sometimes laser or surgery is the optimal treatment.

Q: I’ve had sinus problems for a long time and have heard about a balloon dilation procedure that is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery. Can you tell me more about that?

A: Balloon sinus dilatation is similar to balloon angioplasty for the sinuses. Balloons are inserted into the sinus openings and then inflated, thereby opening the sinuses without the removal of bone or tissue like traditional sinus surgery. It is much less invasive than traditional surgery with little or no downtime. There is also no packing and it can be done in the office, avoiding the need to go to the hospital and undergo general anesthesia. Balloon sinus dilatation comes with five-year results that show significant improvement in patients’ sinus symptoms.
