Botox/ Dysport Treatments

Botox® and Dysport are procedures using Botulinum Toxin which were developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for Botox® and Dysport injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Botox® and Dysport treatments have proven to be one of the most popular non-surgical forms of facial rejuvenation worldwide.

Reasons for Considering a Botox/ Dysport Treatment:

Excessive facial wrinkles.
Large wrinkles or furrows in your forehead.
Small wrinkles or “crow’s feet” around your eyes.
A vertical “frown line” between your eyebrows.

General Procedure

The procedure works by altering the facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to wrinkles. A cream with local anesthetic will be placed on your skin prior to treatment, and ice will be immediately applied upon completion of the Botox®/ Dysport treatment. Typically a small amount of Botox®/ Dysport is injected into the area of the wrinkle. Botox®/ Dysport works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them. The result is the underlying facial muscles relax and the skin begins to smooth out. The effects of a Botox®/ Dysport treatment will last approximately three months after which the patient may choose to repeat the procedure.

Recovery Process

Patients generally return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, however following the post-procedure guidelines will dramatically reduce the length and intensity of the recovery period. Patients should avoid engaging in heavy physical exercise, applying cosmetics, or laying down flat for a minimum of 4 hours after the injections. It is also advisable to avoid rubbing or massaging the injected area for at least 24 hours.

Testimonials

Having been a longtime patient of Dr. Mirzai I know that they are always the first to bring in new technology and procedures to the Islands. They do extensive research and travel worldwide to make sure they are in the leading edge. Therefore I was thrilled but not surprised when Dr. Mirzai told me about two new procedures being exclusively offered by Hawaii Plastic Surgery Assocates. The first a new treatment for frown lines that lasts months longer than Botox! And does not involve injecting toxins! The second a revolutionary facelift without the surgery, anesthesia, or downtime of a traditional facelift. The procedure is called Thermi-lift, is minimally invasive and takes about sixty to ninety minutes. There is some swelling after, but gone within forty-eight hours. Some results are seen immediately! With the full benefit visible in about three months. I decided to have it done right away and am so pleased with the results! I look better, feel better and did not have to take any time off work!
Thank you Dr. Mirzai

Deb

I had been experiencing severe neck pain and numbness in my arm and fingers from all the strain of my large, heavy breasts. After meeting several months of appointments with my primary care physician and physical therapist, breast reduction surgery was the recommendation to improve my symptoms. My primary care physician referred me to a doctor in Honolulu. There were not many doctors who performed this operation in Maui, of course only implants!

I went to the consultation in Honolulu with the referred doctor. To say I was shocked by his prognosis, is an understatement. He didn’t care to listen to my concerns about the surgery or that I may potentially want to breast feed when I have kids. He made me feel like I was deformed. He actually talked about removing my nipples and tattooing them on. Needless to say I was out of there. It was obvious that he had his own agenda and it didn’t match mine.

After meeting Dr. Mirzai, I was impressed from the very start. He has a wonderful countenance and was very informative about my options. He explained the procedure in detail, the pros and the cons, and everything else in between. He agreed that my breasts were too heavy and felt like he could help me get back to a normal life, without me loosing my womanhood. Michelle, his assistant, was also wonderful. She followed up with me very quickly and made sure that I had everything that I needed regarding the insurance, surgery, prescriptions, appointment…etc. She’s definitely an asset!

The surgery was a huge success, no complications. He removed 2 ½ lbs from each breast and my neck pain and finger numbness are all gone. I didn’t loose my nipple sensations, and there is a strong possibility that I will be able to lactate, when the time comes. They definitely improved my quality of life.

I just want to say a BIG MAHALO to Dr. Mirzai, Michelle and all of his staff for all of their friendly and professional service! I would recommend Dr. Mirzai and his team for anyone who needs this operation. Please feel free to e-mail me at tj.moore@clearwire.net with any questions about my surgery.

Warmest Aloha, T. J. Moore
