Make Your Studs Proud With Earlobe Rejuvenation

 

Those chunky gold earrings you insisted wearing nearly every day for a whole summer, yup, those were probably the culprit. If heavy earrings mixed with aging left your lobes like that song lyric you sang a kid: “Do your ears hang low …” don’t stress. There’s a way to fix the earlobe droop chunky earrings or aging left in their wake. And it’s as easy as a syringe of fillers. 

Over time, the weight of heavy earrings and/or loss of collagen because of aging can weigh your earlobes down, causing the skin to sag and lose volume. Oftentimes, it makes earlobes lose elasticity, causing “sagging”, “flat” or “droopy” earlobes, which can also make wearing earrings difficult. If this is something you’ve experienced, stop hiding your ears behind your hair. It’s time for a lobe lift. Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at Smith & Co. is ready to help you make your studs proud again with earlobe restoration.   

Danielle Smith’s earlobe restoration is designed to replenish your earlobe volume loss. smith & co.’s earlobe rejuvenation procedure is simple and uses dermal fillers to restore volume loss. While each patient varies in their specific needs, Danielle Smith will work with you to develop a treatment plan that best meets your needs. 

Who is a good candidate for earlobe rejuvenation?

Anyone experiencing volume loss that causes sagging, drooping or a flat appearance to their earlobes is a candidate for earlobe rejuvenation. While this is a natural part of aging, earrings that lack a good backing can speed up the process.   

What if I have torn earlobes?

Patients experiencing a torn earlobe will require a simple surgical repair. Dermal fillers to re-volumize the earlobe may be required after the simple surgical repair.  

Treatment options for drooping earlobes

Danielle Smith, Miami Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner, uses dermal filler for earlobe rejuvenation. This procedure can be completed in as little as one treatment session. Dermal fillers used will vary based on the patient’s needs. The amount of volume loss you have experienced will determine the amount of volume replacement you require.  Your specific needs and expectations will determine the course of your treatment plan. Danielle Smith NP will work with you to develop a plan that works best for your earlobes. 

Pre-Procedure Instructions for Earlobe Rejuvenation

If you are considering earlobe rejuvenation in Miami Beach, Danielle Smith, NP and Miami botox and filler specialist at Smith & Co., can complete the procedure at the time of your consultation. To ensure you are ready for your appointment with Danielle Smith NP, make sure you have not consumed any Aspirin-containing products prior to the procedure. If you have to take Aspirin due to a medical condition do not stop taking it until you speak with Danielle Smith NP first. Avoid drinking alcohol, especially red wine, one week prior to your procedure to help minimize bruising.  

You should bring a list of your current medications to your appointment and be prepared to provide a brief overview of your past medical history. For other appointments, if you have a specific request regarding your chest/ cleavage rejuvenation, be ready to address these (ie, fine lines, sagging skin, deep folds, sun spots, or discoloration).  At the time of your appointment Danielle will discuss your treatment options with you to best accomplish your desired results while maintaining an overall aesthetic balance.

Post-procedure instructions

Immediately after the procedure, you can expect mild tenderness and swelling to your earlobes. The tenderness and swelling will subside in a few days. Patients who are considered easy bruisers or who take blood thinners may experience some mild bruising, these too will resolve on their own in a few days. To speed up your recovery you can take Arnica supplements right before and for a few days after the procedure.  Danielle Smith NP has done extensive research on the effects of Arnica on the reduction of post-procedure bruising, swelling and pain and offers supplements for purchase on site if you forget to pick some up. Danielle Smith NP recommends avoid touching your ears as much as possible and earrings are not permitted for around six weeks. You can resume your normal activities the next day. It is OK to use makeup, moisturizer or sunscreen over that area, but try not to be too aggressive in your application.

Follow-up expectations

Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co. has all of her patients follow up in two weeks to evaluate your results and ensure you are completely satisfied with the procedure and take your post-procedure photos. Should touch ups be required they would be performed at this time.

Lip Shape

written for the fellow aesthetic provider. 

Whenever a patient wants to change the shape of their lips, I always try to explore their thought process to understand why they are asking for this.  Historically this would be a red flag in patient selection, however in today’s society with access to social media,  are generally better informed and have a much better understanding of their options.   

As a provider you always want to evaluate whether the results they are seeking are anatomically possible and that expectations of process and progress are reasonable.  Education and transparency are key here.  Be honest and open with your patients, let them know exactly what to expect...how much product, cost, over what time frame, and possible worst & best case scenarios.  

In this case we injected 2 syringes of Juvéderm Ultra Plus, over 2 visits 3 months apart.  This after photo was taken 6 months after the 1st treatment. 

I injected body, Cupid’s bow, philtrum columns, and small anchor points from the corners of both the top and bottom lip.

Amazing results...as always 👻.  Our patient wanted to soften her look without looking “puffed up” or “over done”.  By using Restylane, a thin yet resilient product, I was able to use a superficial retrograde injection style then I layered microdropplets of Restylane right into the wrinkle.  This combination provides 1) Plump & Correct - soft plumping to the fold without over bulking 2) Support & Prevent - by creating a gentle support structure to work against further creasing 3) Repair & Restore - direct delivery of HA and other inflammatory goodies to enhance your own collagen growth in the area of the damaged skin (the wrinkle/ scar).

Youthful skin starts within

Sculptra® Aesthetic works subtly and gradually over time for a more youthful-looking appearance. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Sculptra Aesthetic helps stimulate your skin’s own natural collagen production to help restore its inner structure and increase facial volume that has been lost to aging.1-3Sculptra Aesthetic is intended for use in people with healthy immune systems as a one-time treatment regimen of up to four injection sessions that are scheduled about three weeks apart.

Collagen by the numbers

Collagen is a key structural component of smooth, healthy-looking skin. As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases. In fact, you lose about 1% of collagen per year after the age of 18.5 This is when you may start to notice the formation of wrinkles. Luckily, Sculptra Aesthetic can help, even if decades of collagen loss have already occurred.

YOU LOSE ABOUT 1% OF COLLAGEN PER YEAR AFTER THE AGE OF 18.5

One of the primary reasons for visible facialaging is loss of collagen, a fibrous protein in thedeep dermis that gives structure to skin andsupports the functions of elastin and hyaluronicacid (HA). Elastin is an elastic protein that maintains skin shape, while HA cushions and lubricates to keep the skin hydrated. More collagen enables the presence of more elastin and HA.

Facial aging overview

Facial aging actually begins in your 20s, when skin firmness begins to decrease as a result of both internal (genetics and natural aging) and external (sun exposure, smoking, stress, etc.) factors.1

 

botox news!

Botox Is Finally Approved by FDA for Use in the Forehead Area

Article from New Beauty Blog by Tatiana Bido , Special Projects Editor | October 03, 2017

With new uses of Botox Cosmetic being explored every day (like a cure for depression, a temporary fix for a gummy smile and the unfortunately named Scrotox), it’s hard to believe the drug isn’t already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for all of its many indications. Even though the substance has been around since the '50s and '60s, it was only in 2002 that Botox Cosmetic received approval for treating frown lines and facial wrinkles (and it was just approved for use on crow’s-feet in 2013). Now, the FDA has approved the brand for use to treat forehead lines as well, making it the only neuromodulator on the market approved for use in wrinkles in three areas of the face—forehead lines, crow's-feet and glabellar lines.

see me.jpg

If it seems like Botox Cosmetic has been treating forehead wrinkles for a very long time, that’s because it has. Doctors have been using the drug to treat forehead lines “off-label,” meaning outside of its FDA-approved use, for decades. Once a drug obtains FDA-approval for one condition, a licensed physician can legally prescribe it for other conditions that they believe can benefit from the drug. The recent FDA-approval for the use of Botox Cosmetic in the forehead area just means that the drug has passed numerous clinical trials and is proven to do what doctors and patients around to the world already know it can, temporarily banish lines and wrinkles.

"As a physician, I've been using Botox Cosmetic since it was FDA-approved in 2002, but for years my patients have also inquired about how to treat forehead lines. With this latest indication for Botox Cosmetic, I have an FDA-approved product I already know and trust, that can improve the appearance of the forehead," says Boca Raton, FL, oculoplastic surgeon and lead clinical trial investigator, Steven Fagien, MD. 

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 7 million Botox Cosmetic treatments were administered in 2016, making it the number-one noninvasive cosmetic treatment in the country. And with younger patients turning to the injectable for preventive measures, we forsee more FDA-approved uses in the years to come for the treatment Time Magazine called “The Drug That’s Treating Everything.”

Restylane Refyne & Defyne

Danielle Smith NP-C Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Co-Founder of smith & popov in Miami Beach, Florida is proud to announce smith & popov as one of the first offices in the United States to offer Restylane's newest dermal filler REFYNE and DEFYNE.  "Galderma choose us as a strategic partner to help them role-out the newest addition to their portfolio" says Danielle Smith NP-C.

defyne forward thinking.jpg

Galderma, the pharmaceutical company behind injectables like Restylane, Sculptra, and Dysport, recently announced the FDA approval of two new fillers: Restylane REFYNE and DEFYNE. The first was approved to treat moderate wrinkles and folds around the mouth and chin, while the latter is meant to plump and fill deeper-set lines. Both Restylane REFYNE and DEFYNE have been studied to last up to 12 months.  

Dermal fillers work to plump wrinkles and folds, but what makes Restylane REFYNE and DEFYNE so special? They have shown to provide much more natural looking results than what was previously thought possible. These natural results are a direct result of the Flexibility of the product. Galderma preformed ground breaking clinical trials to measure the "Xstrain" or "flexibility" that make Restylane REFYNE and DEFYNE so unique.

"The best aspect of Restylane REFYNE and DEFYNE is the ability to correct wrinkles and areas of volume loss without distorting patients natural expressions." says Smith. "Many of my patients come in looking for preventive or corrective treatment but the biggest concern is they want to keep their natural expressions. They want to look like themselves, just better, more youthful and refreshed." Shares Smith. Restylane REFYNE and DEFYNE are the first fillers available designed specifically with that intent in mind.  

Restylane REFYNE and DEFYNE are still composed of the same great Hyaluronic Acid (HA) as Restylane, but this time Galderma increased the cross linking. The cross linking of the molecule directly affects the G' (G Prime or lifting power) of the molecule. In the case of Restylane REFYNE the cross linking is at 6% which makes it more adaptable for softer more superficial layers; whereas Restylane DEFYNE has 8% cross linking which makes it ideal for deeper layers requiring more support and projection. This new technology is called XpresHAn.

Restylane Defyne & Refyne

As skin loses elasticity with age, the lines that run from the sides of your nose toward the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corner of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines) appear more noticeable. Restylane Refyne & Defyne is a specifically formulated hyaluronic acid dermal filler made with XpresHAn Technologyâ„¢ that helps correct these lines for a more natural look to your face.3† The unique cross-linking of the gel in Restylane Refyne is also designed to help support your natural expression—for real-life results that help maintain natural movement when you're smiling, frowning and even puckering up.

kybella contour

Melt Fat & Contour your Jaw Line

If you are interested in a nonsurgical way to reduce fullness beneath your chin, kybella may be right for you.  Kybella is a first-of-its-kind injectable treatment for adults with submental fullness that destroys fat cells under then chin to improve your profile. 

contour queen.jpg

What is Kybella?

Kybella is a prescription medication used to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to sever fat below the chin (submental fat) also known as "double chin".

KYBELLA® may be right for you if:

  • You’re bothered (unhappy, self-conscious, embarrassed) by fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness
  • You feel the condition makes you look older or heavier than you actually are
  • You don’t want to have surgery
  • You eat well and exercise, but submental fullness does not go away

HOW KYBELLA® WORKS

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA®destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH KYBELLA®

Before starting treatment, your healthcare specialist will examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. Then, your specialist will tailor your treatment to the amount of fat under the chin and your aesthetic goals.

How is KYBELLA® administered?


Treatment can only be administered by a KYBELLA®-trained healthcare specialist. At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile.

How many KYBELLA® treatment sessions will I need?

Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.

Will I need time to recover?

aesthetic consult

Danielle Smith Miami Aesthetic Nurse practitioner treats all of her patients with the utmost respect and consideration for their needs and wants above all else.  Danielle Smith NP takes a unique approach in providing her patients care by conducting a thorough Aesthetic Assessment of her patients prior to recommending any services.  Some patients may come in with a request for botox because they want to eliminate certain wrinkles, however the Aesthetic Assessment may reveal that the patient actually requires filler or may just need some slight modification to their skin care regime.   As a new patient you can expect to spend at least 30 minutes with Danielle Smith NP during the review of your

Aesthetic Assessment.  At this time you will see how Danielle will become not only your provider but your EDUCATOR, your ADVOCATE, and your COLLABORATOR.  

Danielle Smith NP-C most often accomplishes her results with a combination approach to attack the problem from multiple vantage points.  Danielle Smith NP-C, treatment plans usually involve a consortium of Dermal Fillers, Botox and/or Skin Care Products.  Each patient's needs are extremely different, which is why Danielle Smith NP takes the time to specifically assess each patient to determine your specific needs and expectations.  Your aesthetic goals will determine the course of your treatment plan.  The amount of volume loss that you have experienced will determine the amount of volume replacement that you require.   Danielle Smith NP will work with you to develop a plan that works best for you.  Plans can either include a single procedure or treatment, or a series of small volume additions.  Danielle Smith NP-C will also address your skin care regime with you to optimize your skin care, prevent further aging and being to restore any skin damage.

 

THE PATIENT INTERVIEW

The first question Danielle Smith NP will ask when you come in for your complementary consultation is 

"When you look in the mirror, what bothers you the most?"

When you Danielle Smith NP-c comes to see you for your Bedside Botox appointment, make sure you have thought very carefully about this question and your answer.  If you cannot pin-point one thing, that is okay, a general answer will work as well.  The point is to give Danielle insight into what bothers you the most.  The second question Danielle Smith NP-C will ask you is, 

"What would you consider a successful result?" 

In other words, what do you want to accomplish? Do you want to look better than you ever have, or do you want to just erase a few years off your features?  The difference is between changing your topography and between enhancing/ rejuvenating what you already have.  The best example of this is with a Lip Augmentation (or using dermal filler in the lip/mouth region).  Lip Augmentations can be used to highlight the borders of your lips giving you more definition and helping to soften wrinkles around the mouth as well as helping to turn the corners of your mouth upward (enhancing/rejuvenating).  Or Lip Augmentations can be used to provide a new fuller, plumper look that you have never had before (changing topography).  If you are unsure, that is okay as well, Danielle Smith NP-C will assess your wants, your needs, and your goals and help you develop and design a treatment plan that works best for you.  

 

MEDICAL BACKGROUND

Danielle Smith NP will have you fill out a Past Medical History form upon arrival prior to any procedures or prep.  During the consultation she will also review this with you to make sure she has a complete medical picture prior to recommending any treatments or products. 

 

SKIN CARE PRACTICES

As an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner, Danielle Smith NP-C will want to discuss your current skin care products and regime.  Be sure to take note of your current products so she can discuss them with you to ensure they are the best possible products for your skin care needs.  You will want to mention how often you receive other treatments as well, including facials, peels, masks or other cosmetic procedures and how they worked for you.  

 

THE CONSULT

After Danielle Smith NP has determined your wants, your needs, and your goals, she with preform the Aesthetic Assessment by evaluating your natural/ baseline Aesthetic features.  This will include your: 

·       Natural topography 

·       Physical signs of aging: Skin Changes, Fat Pad Loss, Bone Loss

·       Skin : Skin Type, Color, Texture, Elasticity 

·       Skin damage: Scarring, Sun Spots, Aging Spots, Acne

·       Symmetry 

·       Wrinkles in rest and Animation 

·       Volume loss: depth of skin folds, hallowed areas

 

At this time Danielle Smith NP-C will also assess your Pain tolerance.  Some patients are much more sensitive than others.  If you have had procedures before, she will ask you how you handled those, if you experienced discomfort, how you were able to manage it, and if you required extra anesthetic.  The discomfort associated with these procedures is extremely short.  After the procedures you may have some mild tenderness in the area, but nothing will require pain medication to relieve the symptoms.  At most Tylenol may be needed for the first day or so.  The purpose of assessing your pain tolerance, is to gauge how much local or topical anesthetic you may require prior to the procedure.  

 

LIFESTYLE CONSIDERATIONS

Danielle Smith NP is very considerate of how these procedures may affect your plans.  There is little to no down-time associated with these procedures.  However, you may experience some tenderness, redness, bruising and swelling in the area for a few hours to days depending on the procedure and your skin type.  If you are wanting to get procedures done so that you are ready for a specific event, make sure you schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before that event to ensure that you will look your best.   Don't forget it takes botox anywhere from 3-7days to take full effect.  Danielle Smith NP-C prefers to see her patients for follow ups, 2 weeks after procedures.  At this point everything will have settled and allows her to see your true results and determine if additional procedures should be layered on at this point.  

 

PLAN DEVELOPMENT

Toward the conclusion of your Aesthetic Consult, Danielle Smith NP-C will sit with you and explain the results of her Aesthetic Assessment.  She will identify areas of concern and how best to approach both a corrective and preventative treatment plan.  Danielle’s plans can range from something as simple as altering your skin care regime, to a few injections of botox once or twice a year, to a series of treatments with filler to recontour and replenish volume loss.  Danielle Smith NP will discuss the plan with you and the two of you will collaborate to determine how to structure the best plan to best meet all of your needs.   This includes your personal considerations such as financial abilities, sensitivity, time schedule, current skin care products, and so on.  She will then keep this plan in your chart to refer back to on each visit.  At each visit, Danielle will revisit your plan and make adjustments accordingly.  You will also receive a generalized outline of the plan with specific instructions and tips related to each aspect of the plan via email after your appointment.  This will become your tailor made Anti-Aging guideline, so follow it closely.  If at anytime you have questions or concerns about the plan, the products, or the procedures feel free to email Danielle directly at danielle@bedsidebotox.com

 

PHOTOS

Once a plan has been decided on, Danielle Smith NP-C will take your "before" pictures to establish and document your baseline.  These pictures will be kept in your chart for future reference.  Each time Danielle Smith NP-C comes to see you, we will take your photos.  This allows us to tract your progress through your regeneration.  The quality that Danielle Smith NP is so highly acclaimed for is not just her honest and holistic approach, but also her mastery for drastic but subtle changes.  Often times patients say their friends comment on how fantastic they look, but that they cannot seem to identify what the change is.   You too may find that you can't quite put your finger on a single change but rather on an overall enhancement of your natural features, noting that you look amazingly refreshed and rejuvenated.

HAND REJUVENATION HIDE YOUR AGE

These areas are constantly exposed to the same elements as our faces, but are often forgotten when it comes to skin care.  As we age the skin on the back of our hands become thinner showing veins and tendons resulting in a translucent and fragile appearance.  At the same time our skin becomes thinner, it also looses collagen and elastin resulting in a sagging/wrinkled appearance.  The best way to restore this skin on our aging hands is to replace the volume loss of our subcutaneous tissue with dermal filler.  Through a series of volume replacement treatments coupled with a skin care - restoration regime you can achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance to your hands.   The number on treatments required depends on the extent of volume loss in your hands.  Danielle Smith NP will work with you to design a treatment plan that best meets your needs.  Patients are able to enjoy immediate results that will only continue to improve as you progress through the treatment process.  à image of hands

Facial Contouring | Rebalance Yourself                

When you smile, laugh, frown or look puzzled, you contract the muscles of your face. Over time, these contractions produce permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows and on the forehead. These lines can make you look older, sad, angry or tired.  Dermal fillers can not only prevent you from deepening these lines, they can also erase these marks of aging, add volume and improve the facial contour, leaving you looking younger and refreshed.

Dermal fillers are FDA-approved and safe for use by most patients.  Many of the fillers are made from substances found naturally in the body, or synthetically made to mimic natural substances or stimulate collagen production. These fillers are injected directly into the skin of the targeted area to restore volume, enhance the shape of the face and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

If you are considering Hand Rejuvenation by Danielle Smith NP of Miami, Florida it can be completed at the time of your consultation.  To ensure you are ready for your appointment with Danielle Smith NP, make sure you have not consumed any Aspirin containing products prior to the procedure.  If you have to take Aspirin due to a medical condition do not stop taking it until you speak with Danielle Smith NP first.  Avoid drinking alcohol, especially red wine, 1 week prior to your procedure to help minimize any bruising.  You should bring a list of your current medications to your appointment and be prepared to provide a brief overview of your past medical history.  If you have a specific request regarding your chest/ cleavage rejuvenation, be ready to address these (ie, fine lines, sagging skin, deep folds, sun spots, or discoloration).  At the time of your appointment Danielle will discuss your treatment options with you to best accomplish your desired results while maintaining an overall aesthetic facial balance.  

POST PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS

Immediately after the procedure you can expect to have some mild tenderness and swelling to your neck/chest.   The tenderness and swelling will subside in a few days.  Patients who are considered easy bruisers or who take blood thinners may experience some mild bruising, these too will resolve on their own in a few days.  To speed up your recovery you can take Arnica supplements right before and for a few days after the surgery.  Danielle Smith NP has done extensive research into the affects of Arnica on the reduction of post procedure bruising, swelling, and pain and offers supplements for purchase on site if you forget to pick some up.  Danielle Smith NP recommends that you avoid touching the back of your neck/chest or manipulating it as little as possible.  You want to avoid sleeping on your side or wearing push-up bras for at least a week.  You will need to sleep lying on your back.  Avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day after the procedure.  You can resume your normal activities the next day, but to ensure the best results continue to avoid excessive manipulation of the neck and chest for about a week.  It is okay to use make up, moisturizer or sunscreen over that area, but try not to be too aggressive in your application.  Hylauronic Acid is a hydrophilic substance and will pull water into it, considering this it is important to keep your skin moisturized after the procedure.  You will also notice that when you eat excessively salty foods you may experience mild swelling, this is also related to the hydrophilic properties of the hyaluronic acid.  

FOLLOW UP EXPECTATIONS

Danielle Smith NP has all of her patients follow up in 2 weeks to evaluate your results and ensure that you are completely satisfied with the procedure and to take your post procedure photos.  Should touch ups be required they would be preformed at this time.
