I Don’t Want to Look Like I’ve had Surgery, Should I Still Get Botox in New Jersey’s Eminence Medical Aesthetics?
Botox is designed to smooth out skin to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Although the treatment does change your skin in this aspect, it will not drastically change how your face appears the same way plastic surgery does. With Botox your skin will look rejuvenated without making you look completely unnatural.
Plastic surgery comes with a large list of risk, considering it is an invasive procedure. With plastic surgery the skin is pulled tightly over the bone, and then cut to produce a firmer appearance. This process is risky since there are many other factors involved. The recovery time for plastic surgery can last for weeks, and sometimes months. Botox is much safer than plastic surgery because it is non-invasive, and requires no recovery time.
