BOTOX is a cosmetic treatment that has a number of alternative uses. It’s best known for smoothing away signs of aging like wrinkles, lines and creases. The effects are temporary, but long-lasting. It’s become a trusted and common procedure for those wishing to look younger without surgery. Read on to learn more about the procedure and whether it might be right for you.
About BOTOX
The active ingredient in BOTOX is actually the same toxin that causes botulism. Fortunately, when used in tiny amounts, this bacteria can actually offer a number of benefits. It can soften an array of lines and wrinkles of the face. Crow’s feet, forehead furrows and frown lines respond quite well to the medicine in BOTOX . This medicine works to stop targeted facial muscles from contracting, allowing the wrinkle above to be released. You’ll see a softer, smoother appearance once the process takes full effect.
How It Works
A small amount of BOTOX is injected into the muscles of the target area or areas using a very thin needle. Any discomfort is quite minimal due to the tiny size of the needle. Patients often compare the sensation to that of a bug bite. The medicine in BOTOX actually blocks the nerve impulses from reaching the targeted muscles. The activity in these muscles is reduced, preventing them from contracting. When this pressure is removed from the wrinkles and lines above, they are then released, leading to a smoother appearance.
What to Expect
The procedure can usually be performed in just 15 to 30 minutes, and you can resume your everyday activities immediately. It is a good idea to avoid strenuous exercise for a day or so, along with alcohol use and exposure to heat. You may not see results immediately. It can take between one to seven days for the full effect to take place. Sometimes, up to two weeks is needed. This is a gradual process. It’s normal for the medicine to take time to do its job. Your BOTOX treatment should last approximately four months before requiring a maintenance session. It’s possible for the time between sessions to increase after the facial muscles become accustomed to Botox treatments. Clients often report longer time between follow-up sessions after the first year.

Category: reviewsI went to Dr Jaime Flores looking for a second opinion after a long journey of Six surgeries and a questionable medical management.He healed an open wound I had and set me on the wright path for a complete recovery.He performed a DIEP Flap to reconstruct my right breast with excellent results and a fraction of the pain and limitations I had to deal with in my previous surgeries.His confidence, expertise, professionalism,compassion and wonderful bedside manners make Dr Flores the best surgeon I could ask for. I wish I had met him before.All the stars for Dr Flores and his excellent team.My endlessly gratitude for this exceptional Doctor and marvelous human being.
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. I'm so grateful for the care I have received, and would highly recommend Flores Plastic Surgery to anyone!
