Botox has always been one of the most popular anti-aging procedures in the country. Board certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Mark Pinsky and Dr. David Lickstein perform this procedure to soften the wrinkles and deep folds on the face.

Botox is commonly used to fight the aging process and enhance one’s appearance. However, the injectable fluid has other uses, including the treatment of neuromuscular disorders.

In the past few years, board certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Mark Pinsky and Dr. David Lickstein have seen an increase in the number of patients who consider nasal surgery to enhance their looks or turn back the clock.

By John Gever, Senior Editor, MedPage Today
People who’d had their noses surgically reshaped had a somewhat more youthful appearance afterward — whatever their age, researchers said.
Independent raters who examined before-and-after photographs of mostly young and middle-age individuals undergoing cosmetic rhinoplasty indicated that, on average, the patients looked 1.5 years younger in the “after” pictures (P<0.001), according to Ali Sepehr, MD, and colleagues at the University of Toronto.
