Dr. Clavin has been performing cosmetic plastic surgery for over 35 years. Even though he is a surgeon by trade, he has noted that there are many ways a patient can get a very desirable result by having an injectable, chemical peel, or laser treatment instead of actually having surgical intervention. In today’s modern world, there is a whole variety of safe, proven materials that can help the facial appearance. These include Botox, hyaluronic acids, for which two of the better known ones are Juvederm and Restylane, and fat grafting. The latter procedure, fat grafting, has been used by Dr. Clavin for 30 years with exceptional results, which are permanent and help both in the nasal area as well as facial area and even in body areas. Even though there are large numbers of doctors that are using a variety of injectables, Dr. Clavin feels that your best chance for success would be with a surgeon who actually operates and does cosmetic surgery. The reason for this is that a physician who is performing plastic surgery and is well-trained has spent years honing his aesthetic eye and understands contouring. With that particular aesthetic eye, the physician can better visualize the result achieved using an injectable, such as Juvederm, Restylane, or fat. Dr. Clavin actually encourages many of his patients to have an injectable rather than surgery if they wish to have no downtime, wish to save a significant amount of money, and do not mind coming back once a year to have a touch-up. Basically, it is a win-win situation and is a tremendous adjunct to the whole field of plastic surgery. Therefore, a qualified plastic surgeon can save the patient a considerable amount of money if they wish to have one of the alternatives to actual surgical intervention, which include a variety of peels, laser skin treatment, Botox, and injectables.
