And now on to Stage 3 of Facial Sculpting: Dermal Fillers! If you read my previous post, “The 4 Stages of Facial Sculpting,” you know my approach to sculpting; I do it in stages, instead of jumping right in and going to town on your face. These stages can take anywhere from 6-12 months!

Botox® is stage 2 because I’m looking to smooth out the appearance of wrinkles or skin laxity in the neck after we have sufficiently treated under chin or jowl fat with Kybella™.
