How does lip flip help lips appear bigger? Who is a good candidate for this?
Neuromodulator is a useful tool to inject into the upper lip to help reduce the muscular contraction of the border resulting in a vertical lift and plumping to the upper lip which increases the amount of red lip show at rest and upon smiling which makes the lip appear bigger.
Most people are good candidates for this procedure aesthetically however, patients that have the upper lip significantly more forward than the bottom lip are not ideal candidates as they will result in an even larger imbalance between the upper and lower lip that is not aesthetically pleasing. A very small dose of non-spreading neuromodulation like Xeomin is the best option for a great result. If the dose is too high the patient will have difficulty holding liquids and food and will also have difficulty speaking.
Here is a great example of a Lip Flip with Xeomin injection for Lip Volume performed at Rejuvent:
This patient did not want filler injections but wanted more lip volume. Instead of filler, she opted for Xeomin, which helped flip her lip giving the appearance of a fuller red area.
How does lip filler help lips appear bigger? Who is a good candidate for this?
Filler helps lips to appear bigger by adding volume to the red lip. Volume most time is added with Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers like Restylane and Juvenderm fillers.
Most people are good candidates for lip filler, however thin lips are only going to accommodate small amounts of filler naturally. The size of thin lips will only be increased by a small amount with filler which is the best option because if too much filler is placed the patient will look noticeably abnormal with awkwardly forward protruding lips. Lips have distinct anatomical subunits, the proportions of which must be maintained when placing the filler otherwise the lips will appear artificial. For thin lips, we recommend at least two sessions for best results.
Here is a great example of a thin lip transformation with 2 sessions of filler injections performed at Rejuvent:
This patient had two sessions of filler injections and her lip volume looks natural and ideal for her face.
What can help the lip area and maintain the lip treatment?
I have been using Clinicians Complex Lip Enhancer multiple times daily for 17 years and this product has dramatically helped maintain the plumpness and health of my lips, and it has prolonged the results of the small amounts of filler I’ve had injected in my lips through the years. – Dr. Kelly Bomer
These patients’ before and after images show how much more volumized the lips can look with Clinician’s Complex Lip Enhancer.
Rejuvent Medical Spa in Scottsdale is the #1 place in Arizona for Lip Enhancement and lip volume. Our patients enjoy natural results that are both long-lasting and complementary to their facial features. Both Dr. Kelly Bomer and Dr. James Bouzoukis are ExpertInjectors™.
Dr. Kelly Bomer loves Microneedling and often recommends it to her patients. Here is what Dr. Bomer recommends before and after Microneedling treatment:
Before Micronnedling: The skin should be calm and exfoliated, but not peeling prior to the treatment for the best outcome with Microneedling. Microneedling must not be performed on inflamed acne as this could induce an infection in the skin called cellulitis. It is okay to continue applying your skincare up to the day of the treatment without stopping as long as the skin remains calm. The skin should not be sunburned, or peeling before the treatment. Remember to hydrate before any skin treatment!
After Microneedling: It is best to stop retinol and retinoids like Retin-A for a few days until the skin feels not irritated and is mostly normal. Glycolic and other AHA’s can be used lightly the day after the treatment as long as they were well tolerated before the treatment. Extra moisturizers loaded with peptides and vitamin C products are great after Microneedling. Most importantly, do not get fresh sunshine on recently microneedled skin. The skin must fully heal after the treatment before the skin is exposed directly to the sun. The time for healing varies significantly depending on the depth of the treatment and the skin’s condition prior to the treatment.
At Rejuvent, Microneedling is a very popular cosmetic procedure and our aestheticians use the Rejuvapen device. This skin treatment has gained significant traction in the world of skincare and beauty because of the lack of downtime and its impressive results.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a specialized device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which ultimately results in improved skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, diminished acne scars, and enhanced overall skin tone and appearance.
Schedule your Microneedling with Rejuvapen at Rejuvent in Scottsdale today. During your first appointment, our aesthetician will go over your skincare goals and will give you her suggestions to maximize your results, including before and after tips specific to your skin.
Welcome to another informative article on the world of cosmetic enhancements! Today, we’re diving deep into the exciting realm of Liquid Rhinoplasty with filler (Nose Filler) – a minimally invasive procedure that can transform your nose and enhance your overall facial aesthetics. If you’ve ever wondered how you can achieve a more balanced and symmetrical nose without surgery, this article is for you.
What is Liquid Rhinoplasty with Filler?
Liquid Rhinoplasty, also known as a non-surgical nose job, is a cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers to reshape and enhance the appearance of the nose. Unlike traditional surgical Rhinoplasty, this technique involves no incisions, minimal downtime, and immediate results. It’s a popular choice for individuals seeking to correct minor imperfections or enhance the overall appearance of their noses.
The Benefits of Liquid Rhinoplasty:
1. Non-Invasive: Liquid Rhinoplasty is performed without any surgical incisions, reducing the risk of scarring and complications associated with traditional Rhinoplasty.
2. Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, there is little to no downtime, meaning you can return to your regular activities almost immediately.
3. Immediate Results: You’ll see the results of your Liquid Rhinoplasty right after the procedure, with continued improvement over the following days.
4. Reversible: One of the advantages of using dermal fillers is that the effects are reversible. If you’re not satisfied with the results, a skilled injector can adjust or dissolve the filler.
The Procedure:
1. Consultation: At Rejuvent, your journey begins with a consultation with a qualified and expert cosmetic practitioner who will assess your facial features and discuss your goals. They will determine if you are a suitable candidate for Liquid Rhinoplasty.
2. Preparing for the Procedure: On the day of your appointment, one of our doctors will cleanse the treatment area and apply a numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
3. Injection: The dermal filler, typically composed of hyaluronic acid, is strategically injected into the targeted areas of your nose to achieve the desired shape and symmetry.
4. Sculpting and Perfecting: One of our doctors will sculpt and refine the filler to ensure a natural-looking result that complements your facial features.
5. Recovery: You may experience some mild swelling or bruising, but this usually subsides within a few days. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Read our tips for the best post-procedure experience.
Maintaining Your Results:
The effects of Liquid Rhinoplasty can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. To maintain your results, it’s essential to follow your practitioner’s post-procedure care instructions and schedule periodic touch-up appointments.
What is the most important thing to look for when getting a Liquid Rhinoplasty with filler?
By far the most important thing you can do to get natural results is to use an experienced and expert Medical Doctor injector. Why? Because the nose area is very complex and delicate, with a lot of vasculature that impacts your entire face. This is not a procedure for inexperienced providers. At Rejuvent, Dr. Bomer, and Dr. Bouzoukis are the only ones who inject filler and are the only ones that perform Liquid Rhinoplasties. The nose is a very delicate area and you must find an expert to inject it – This is extremely important as using the wrong practitioner can leave you with lasting issues Both our doctors are Ear, Throat, and Nose MDs and experts in facial anatomy. Trust the experts!
Let’s examine a few of our Before and After Results:
Hook Shape Improved with Nose Filler
This patient had a Liquid Rhinoplasty and her nose was sculpted with dermal fillers. She did not have surgery and after two filler treatments achieved the nose and profile she was looking for. The hook shape is gone and she has a more feminine and refined look to her nose.
Droopy Tip Improvement with Nose Filler
This patient desired improvement in the appearance of her nose and wanted to correct the droopy tip of her nose. Restylane Lyft was placed in the nasal tip as well as above the hump, resulting in a more elegant, natural profile with no downtime.
No Surgery – Incredible Results
This patient wanted to improve the appearance of her nose without undergoing surgery. A liquid, non-surgical rhinoplasty was performed, placing the filler Restylane Lyft on her nasal tip, as well as above and below the hump. The tip is lifted slightly, her nose is straighter on profile and the overall appearance is more refined.
Liquid Rhinoplasty with filler is a fantastic option for individuals looking to enhance the appearance of their noses without the commitment and downtime associated with surgical rhinoplasty. If you’re considering this procedure, consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner to discuss your goals and expectations.
Remember that while Liquid Rhinoplasty offers excellent results, it’s essential to choose a skilled and reputable practitioner to ensure a safe and satisfying experience. Your journey to a more beautiful, balanced, and confident you begins with a consultation – so why wait? Explore the possibilities of Liquid Rhinoplasty today!

Botox is a wonderful tool to relax wrinkles and rejuvenate your face. BOTOX® was the world’s first approved botulinum toxin type A treatment and it is the first and only treatment FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better. The treatment requires minimum to no downtime.
How are wrinkles formed? A lot of factors can contribute to wrinkles, they can happen when there is a reduction of collagen and elastin fibers which can change the structure of the skin, skin damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment can weaken the skin, the unavoidable genetics and aging, and repeated muscle contractions. Muscle contractions like frowning, raising your eyebrows, squinting, and laughing, can gradually result in deep wrinkles and facial lines like crow’s feet, glabellar lines, forehead lines, chin tension, gummy smile, bunny lines, downward pull on the corners of the mouth, and Platysmal Bands on the neck.
How does Botox work? Botox works beneath the surface of the skin to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity so the wrinkles on your face can relax and fade away.
5 Signs You Might Get Bad Botox Results
Sign 1: Your provider uses fake Botox
This one is very scary. Real Botox is sold and manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics. There are a lot of fake copies out there and you should avoid them at all cost! As NewBeauty says “you should only go to a board-certified plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or dermatologist to get any kind of injectable done.”
At Rejuvent Medical Spa, we get our Botox directly from Allergan and we are listed as providers on their website. Before you visit your provider, check that they are listed and authorized specialists. Research Botox providers by zip code and state – or by zip code. Our city and state are Scottsdale, AZ and our zip code is 85260.
Sign 2: You go for too “good of a deal”
This one happens a lot. Groupon Botox deals are the worst! Specials that are too good to be true, usually are, and can damage your face!
Dr. Grossman on NewBeauty says “Maybe that practitioner isn’t using branded products—remember the chiropractor in Florida who sent people to the ICU injecting boot-leg product imported from China? Discounts are typically a sign that the injectors are using a blanket treatment protocol for everyone. There are so many people who inject these days who do not fully understand facial musculature and the science behind how Botox works. Botox should not be treated like a product you are purchasing, for which you are trying to get the best price, but rather like a procedure you are having done, for which you want the best result.”
Experience matters. We understand that everyone wants to save money, so at Rejuvent, we pass our savings from Allergan directly to our patients. We also offer referral pricing, and award LuxePoints on all Botox treatments.
Sign 3: Your injector uses a “template” approach
This one is very common with Botox injectors that took a weekend course. These providers are not medically trained or experts in facial anatomy and inject using a template that might not work for everyone. Beware of these injectors as the results often show a “frozen look”.
So how can you avoid it?
The best thing to do before your schedule your Botox appointment is to investigate before and after results on your provider’s website. Not on their social media accounts. Did you know that we see hundreds of images on Instagram and Facebook that are fake, or belong to other providers? To see real before and after photos, stick with the provider’s website and request to see photos in-office before your injection appointment. When you arrive at the office look at the staff, do they look frozen?
At Rejuvent, we have one of the largest before and after photo galleries in the state. We have been photographing our patients for analysis of results since 2004.
Sign 4: Your injector doesn’t take YOU into account
Wrinkle Relaxer injections are not a “one-size-fits-all” scenario. An experienced injector should be analyzing your face and facial movements before the injection, they should ask you questions about your wishes and take into account your specific needs and your facial structure and anatomy. If the Botox injector is following a cookie-cutter approach, your Botox results might look better on someone else’s face!
At Rejuvent, both Dr. Bomer and Dr. Bouzoukis are facial anatomy experts, they use Dr. Bomer’s technique and they have trained Linda Esposito to achieve the same results they achieve. Both doctors are MDs, and ENTs (Otolaryngologists) and are expert injectors, specializing in facial anatomy. They customize the treatment to your skin after analyzing clinical photographs taken before injections.
Sign 5: Your provider does not analyze your face correctly
“Not looking natural” is a vague term, but Scottsdale, AZ, facial plastic surgeon Kelly Bomer, MD, breaks it down in regards to neuromodulators: “My definition of ‘Bad Botox’ is a result that looks unnatural at rest or while moving. It is important to ask about retaining natural movement of brow elevation when actively raising the brow and normal cheek elevation when smiling. A common ‘Bad Botox’ result is the ‘Spock Brow,’ where the tail of the brow is unnaturally high and spiked and the medial brow is unnaturally low. And for the crow’s-feet area, if Botox is injected in a pattern that lowers cheek elevation, one can get a look of hollow eyes and chipmunk cheeks.” This often happens with inexperienced Botox injectors.
The above excerpt is from NewBeauty.com. Dr. Bomer is a contributor to NewBeauty magazine and she is part of their Brain Trust panel.
At Rejuvent, our Botox injectors take several clinical photographs to see how your skin moves so they can customize the injections to YOUR face!
What to avoid when getting Botox? Avoid inexperienced injectors, injectors with no proof of their results, cookie-cutter injection treatment, fake Botox, injectors that only use Botox instead of using Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, injectors without facial anatomy expertise, and ‘too good to be true’ specials.
