Botox is by far one of the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic treatments. Why is it so popular? First and foremost, it does what it says it does, which is to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and furrows. Other things that make Botox so popular are its relatively low cost when compared to surgeries such as a facelift, its relative painlessness and the speed at which it is performed. The down time from treatment is all but nonexistent, the results are long lasting, and the procedure is safe.
How Does Botox Work?
Scientists have known for a long time that the botulinin toxin interferes with signals sent by a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. One of the things acetylcholine regulates is muscle contractions. Doctors found that when the muscles beneath a wrinkle are paralyzed, the wrinkle smooths out.
Botox is a purified and diluted version of the botulinin toxin. It is delivered by very fine needles while the patient rests in a treatment chair.
After the treatment, the patient can go home or even return to school or work. Some doctors recommend that the patient not lie down for a few hours after their session, then sleep with their head elevated.
Similar to Botox
Dysport, like regular Botox, is made from type A botulinum toxin. Dysport appears to act faster than regular Botox, but Botox appears to be longer lasting. Dysport is less expensive than Botox and is especially good at treating moderate to severe glabellar lines.
Xeomin is also made from botulinum toxin type A, but unlike Dysport it does not have as much of a protein load and does not need to be refrigerated. Xeomin also takes longer to start to work.

Couldn't be HAPPIER - LOWER BODY LIFT AND BREAST LIFT W/O IMPLANTS
by BARBARA M.
Category: reviewsI was referred to Dr. Flores by another plastic surgeon who is amazing. However, he was honest enough to say that what I needed was best being done by Dr. Flores as he was the best in what I needed. I thought what I needed what a tummy tuck and in fact he told me I needed a lower body lift. Therefore, I went ahead scheduled the appointment and the day of my appointment I was a little concerned as I had never met. I finally met him and his staff and let me tell you he's AMAZING!!! Answers all your concerns with such patience and shows so much caring! I didn't hesitate to schedule my surgery. Results could not be any better and would not hesitate to refer him to my friends as he's truly an artist. His office team are great! If I could give me 100 STARS i would not hesitate.
Forever grateful to Dr Flores and his amazing staff!

Category: reviewsThere are not enough stars on this review for me to show my appreciation for Dr. Flores and his amazing staff! I have been his patient since 2014, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an amazing person, and the best plastic surgeon! After having my double mastectomy, Dr. Flores did an amazing job with my reconstruction. After having a recurrence with cancer, he has been by my side every step of the way, and making sure all my needs were met. I am beyond happy with my breast reconstruction and hands down can say that Dr Flores and his wonderful staff have been a beacon of hope for me. He is by far the BEST plastic surgeon in Miami, and I will recommend him and his practice hands down every time !! Thank you for all you have down for me, I am forever grateful!

He inspires confidence and has a calm, professional demeanor. Most importantly, his skill level is top-notch.
