Volbella

Volbella, a newly-approved injectable filler, promises full, smooth, kissable lips – all in a single comfortable treatment. Let’s face it: our society is obsessed with full, bee-stung lips à la Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence. In fact, in 2015 the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) conducted a national survey asking more than 1,000 women which celebrity’s lips they would most like to have. Jennifer Lawrence came in first place, followed by Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Garner, Angelina Jolie, Kylie Jenner, and Beyonce. “We live in the age of the selfie, and sometimes the feedback from these images is not always good,”says  Dr. Gentile, who has 30 […]

So what about fillers?

Fillers are fun. Fun for me means extraordinarily safe and extraordinarily effective. This was not always true. Twenty five years ago we used bovine collagen. It lasted six weeks, had to be over corrected, and looked un-natural for two weeks.  Human collagen came next and other than reduction in sensitivity reactions, did not add much benefit.  None of that is the case now. Hyaluronic (HA) acid changed everything. It is made in a lab, no longer using animal or human sources.  Chemically, it is essentially just like what is naturally in your body.  HA’s are clear gels. Over correction is […]

The precision of fractional co2 laser technology

Laser energy is incredibly powerful and can provide amazing benefits for the health and appearance of your skin. The key to the excellent results laser treatments can provide is the complete and precise control we have over the entire process. Fractional CO2 laser technology can provide dramatic improvements to the texture, tone, and appearance of your skin. The term “fractional” means that the laser targets and treats numerous microscopic areas of the skin while leaving other areas undamaged. This allows for faster healing. Thanks to this amazing and precise technology, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Gentile is able to remain in total […]

What to expect from your neck lift

Before undergoing any surgery, it is important to understand what to expect. A neck lift will adjust and tighten any misshapen and wrinkled area of the neck. Sometimes these aesthetic neck issues are a result of age, and gravity and other factors can also cause this. A neck lift can also improve the jawline and can remove a double chin, resulting in a more youthful appearance for the area. The procedure will not prevent further symptoms of aging in the neck, but it will help to enhance and revitalize the appearance of the neck. Dr. Richard Gentile is highly skilled in facial plastic surgery […]

Facelifts – should i abstain from smoking?

In order to guarantee the success of your facelift, it is crucial that you cease smoking. Tobacco use before and after surgery places your health and recovery at great risk. Nicotine use tightens blood vessels, reducing the blood supply to the face. During a facelift, the tissue being lifted is constrained, and so without proper blood circulation, this can lead to severe post-surgical scarring and can cause the wounds to reopen. If the skin tissue is severely weakened, it may even die. Surgeons require a patient to refrain from tobacco use for a minimum of two weeks, but most require longer in […]
