Award Winning Plastic Surgeon Proudly Celebrating Over 30 Years In Practice

Dermal Fillers and Botox® Cosmetic Enhancement This Holiday Season

Injectables and Fillers in Philadelphia, PA

As the holidays approach, men and women are in a time crunch. As the demands of overtime hours, gift shopping and wrapping, and other duties overwhelm you, it is easy to find yourself at the bottom of the totem pole – not only feeling exhausted, but seeing it in your reflection too. If you fantasize about a fresh, youthful appearance, look no further.

Dr. Emily Pollard to the rescue!

In your search for a provider who specializes in cosmetic treatments, rest assured that Dr. Emily Pollard is an award-winning, board-certified Philadelphia plastic surgeon. She is here to provide you with top-notch, professional service.

Fillers and Injectable Options

Dermal fillers, also known as wrinkle fillers, are soft tissue fillers that have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). These products bring the skin to life, erasing wrinkles and other signs of aging – without the hassle and downtime of surgery.

As men and women strive to turn back the hand of time, facilities offering filler and injectable treatments are collectively growing.  As you come to a decision on your choice of provider, consider Dr. Pollard’s cosmetic expertise in the following areas:

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic injections target the areas between your eyebrows, your forehead, and your eyes, relaxing the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. If you have crow’s feet, lines around your mouth, or deep creases in your forehead, Dr. Pollard considers you a candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic injections. This treatment, which last an hour, requires no surgery – or downtime. Enjoy immediate results for up to six months.

Juvederm®

Juvederm® is a specially formulated injectable filler that contains hyaluronic acid (HA), which is naturally present in your body. With time, your skin loses its HA. Hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin and allows it to retain a youthful volume. Dr. Pollard injects Juvederm® into the skin with a fine needle, targeting deep creases, wrinkles, and fine lines. The non-invasive treatment requires less than an hour of your time. After your session, you can immediately resume your work or recreational activities. Results can last up to a year.

Restylane®

Restylane® treats wrinkles and lines and is also used to enrich the volume of cheeks and lips, without surgery. Also containing hyaluronic acid, Dr. Pollard injects the affected area. As the skin becomes more hydrated, visual enhancements will appear right away and continue to improve in a matter of days. Your session will be complete within a few minutes, will not interrupt your daily activities, and you’ll be able to enjoy these benefits for up to six months.

Perlane®

Dr. Pollard recommends Perlane®, another product containing HA, for patients who desire fuller lips or cheeks, or a more youthful appearance. Comprised of larger particles, the gel substance is more effective on severe lines and deeper creases. The treatment is non-invasive, completed in less than an hour, and doesn’t interfere with your normal schedule. Results last up to six months.

Dysport®

Dysport® effectively relaxes line-forming muscles, reducing laugh and frown lines and wrinkles. This injection only takes a few minutes and does not interfere with your work or recreation time. Ultimate cases completely erase these creases in some patients. Enjoy immediate results and full enhancement within a week, and reap the benefits for up to six months.

Sculptra®

Sculptra® targets your body’s natural ability to produce collagen, which is essential for healthy skin. With age, collagen levels decrease, and leaving us with wrinkles, lines, and skin folds. Dr. Pollard also recommends Sculptra® to increase cheek volume. Sessions don’t even require an hour of your time. This non-surgical treatment is quick, and you can immediately resume your daily duties as normal.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® is another non-surgical solution to complement your body’s natural collagen in replenishing your skin’s health. This option treats severe wrinkles and deep creases. Almost magically, Radiesse® creates a supportive wall, accomplishing a two-fold result: 1) stimulating natural collagen production and 2) reducing severe lines and folds. Enjoy a short session and immediately return to your regular schedule without interruption. Radiesse® results in long-lasting enhancement, sometimes permanently.

Breast Augmentation Vs Breast Lift

Whether you are a warrior who has survived breast cancer or gravity has won the battle, you have come to the right place. Dr. Emily Pollard is an award-winning, board certified Philadelphia plastic surgeon. A woman’s breasts are a treasure of her heart and soul. Dr. Pollard understands this and she, along with her impeccable staff are here to guide you through the process of feeling whole and feminine once again.

Dr. Emily Pollard and her attentive staff can help you make the proper choice from the following two options.

Breast Augmentation

Maybe you desire a larger cup size, or you feel your breasts are not proportionate to your hips. Perhaps you aren’t pleased with the shape and volume of your breasts, or you’re suffering from loose skin. In cases like these, Dr. Pollard recommends breast augmentation.

Breast Lift

On the other hand, maybe you are very pleased with the shape and portion of your breasts. Maybe you love their size and don’t require a larger bust. The weight of bigger breasts, however, can cause them to sag over time. If your breasts appear deflated and sag, a breast lift is the procedure Dr. Pollard will recommend.

Plastic surgery goes much deeper than cosmetic changes. When you find a procedure that you’re comfortable with and follow through with the surgery, you will enjoy endless benefits – including a new, improved confidence that goes beyond physical image.

Liposuction or Tummy Tuck?

Body Countouring in Philadelphia, PA

Has the tautness of your skin’s elasticity been weakened by significant weight loss, surgery or pregnancy? Is loose, flabby skin making you feel uncomfortable? If so, it’s time to consider either a tummy tuck or liposuction from Pollard Plastic Surgery.

If you’re ready to eliminate that extra skin and fat around your midsection, you’ve come to the right place. Dr. Emily Pollard is an award-winning, board-certified Philadelphia plastic surgeon. She and her professionally-trained staff are here to educate you with strategic solutions that are perfect for your body.

Liposuction or Tummy Tuck? Which surgery is best for me?

Both liposuction and tummy tucks offer solutions for anyone who has a small amount of fat that has become difficult to eliminate. If your muscle tone is great, and you’re active and eat a well-balanced, healthful diet, liposuction is the perfect remedy in Dr. Pollard’s professional opinion. However, if you have loose skin that won’t tighten up, a tummy tuck is the procedure she will recommend.

Vaser® Lipo

Perhaps you have lost weight the old-fashioned way, through improved diet and exercise, yet you simply cannot eliminate those last few inches of fat – no matter how you target it. If you are looking to lose a couple of inches and firm up, liposuction via Vaser® Lipo will work beautifully for you.
The Vaser® Lipo system uses minimally invasive ultrasound technology for precision body contouring. It can be used to eliminate fat from many areas of the body, from love handles to thighs. Vaser® Lipo produces eye-catching results in just one procedure and the technology provides many benefits versus traditional liposuction treatments. Using precision contouring, Vaser® Lipo can help you to finally achieve that look you’ve always wanted.

Tummy Tuck

If you have persevered through countless crunches and other fat-burning exercises while ensuring your diet is healthy, and still cannot obtain a firm, toned tummy, Dr. Pollard recommends the tummy tuck.

A tummy tuck is a surgery that eliminates not only additional fat but also skin that has lost its elasticity, allowing separated, weak muscles to replenish. The surgical term for this option is abdominoplasty. Once you have healed from your tummy tuck, your tummy will have a firm, smooth appearance.

Age Management With Minimally Invasive Dermal Fillers

The quickest and easiest way to healthier and younger looking skin are minimally invasive dermal fillers and neurotoxins – called liquid facelifts. A liquid facelift is a technique for injecting advanced dermal fillers, such as JUVEDERM®, Radiesse® and Restylane® to lift and contour facial features. A non-surgical liquid facelift can be done to accomplish any of the following:

  • Gentle lift of individual (or overall) facial features
  • Reduced wrinkles, creases, line or folds
  • Restoration of natural, curved facial contours
  • A more rested, energetic look

With treatments that take less than an hour and are performed right in-office, liquid facelifts require no downtime and can be seen in just a few days. Dr. Pollard offers:

A great and easy way to refresh and update your look, dermal fillers address a multitude of skin conditions and problem areas. Each filler – from Botox® to Radiesse® – is just a quick procedure to refresh your entire look, while giving subtle yet noticeable results. Dr. Pollard has a very natural hand. If you’re considering a liquid facelift, schedule a consultation with Dr. Pollard. She can help you decide what fillers are best for you.

 

The Skinny on Body Contouring

Body Countouring in Philadelphia, PABody contouring is a great alternative when diet and exercise fail. Sometimes diet and exercise are not enough to remove the unsightly bulges on your thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, and other areas. Body contouring procedures at Pollard Plastic Surgery include surgical and minimally invasive procedures:

These surgeries can help you get the body you want. To maintain your new look, you’ll need to maintain a healthy lifestyle to enhance your results. Each procedure is not a way to lose weight, but a catalyst to kick start healthy results. Exercise not only burns calories, but boosts your metabolism – which is important because your body naturally slow downs your metabolism as you lose weight. A higher metabolism helps your body burn calories at a faster rate, even while you are resting.

To discuss body contouring procedures and how you can ensure your results last a lifetime, schedule a consultation with Dr. Pollard.

Getting Your Body Ready For Summer

Body Countouring in Philadelphia, PAMany people dread bathing suit and shorts season – for good reason. If you are not happy with your body, it can be hard to show it off and feel comfortable in clothes suited for the summer heat.

To gain that confidence to enjoy a summer day at the beach, many patients explore tummy tucks, liposuction, and breast enhancements. A tummy tuck will tighten abdominal muscles and get rid of loose skin. It restores weakened or separated muscles, creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. Liposuction sculpts the body and removes unwanted fat from areas such as the inner and outer thighs, waist, hips, back, knees, upper arms, chin/neck, and abdomen. And finally, for many women, a breast enhancement is the icing on the ‘cake’ of a great body. Breasts may either be lifted to a perkier position or augmented to restore lost volume.

If you want your new and improved body in time for summer, you need to remember that you’ll need one month for your body to heal and for the results to settle. You can discuss the option to have the surgeries simultaneously with Dr. Pollard. You shouldn’t rush the surgeries just to be “ready” for summer, of course, but with careful planning and Dr. Pollard’s expertise, you can be ready for summer.

Putting Your Best Face Forward With A Chin Implant

Genioplasty (Chin Implant) Before and After Pictures Philadelphia, PAGenioplasty (Chin Implant) Before and After Pictures Philadelphia, PA

Today more than ever it is obvious the importance we place on prominent facial features.
A strong or a weak chin can influence judgment on the strength of one’s character, leadership
and attractiveness, according to Business Week. So what can you do when the chin you
were born with is less than indicative of the one you want to convey?

Fillers can temporarily produce similar results, but a chin implant is likely the most popular
way for men and women to surgically balance out the features of the face. In fact, reshaping
your chin via a surgical implant can not only improve your chin, but can also improve your
jawline, make your neck more prominent and correct some facial asymmetry or deformities.
And did we mention it can immeasurably improve your ability to FaceTime or take a decent
Selfie?

Getting a chin implant is a surgical procedure meant to reshape the size of your chin by
inserting an implant to enhance and rejuvenate the contours of your chin. An implant
(silicone or polyethylene) will be used to improve the chin features.

Chin implant procedures are typically done under general anesthesia. A cut will be made on
either the inside of the mouth or outside under the chin, creating a pocket in which to insert
the implant in front of the chin bone and under the muscle. Once the implant is in place, it’s
secured to the bone with sutures or screws, and then the opening is stitched up to heal.

Some of the pros are: “Hey! Check out my gorgeous chin!” a renewed sense of confidence,
and facial symmetry. The procedure is also relatively quick to perform and offers nearpermanent
results. Scarring is minimal and barely noticeable, and you should be able to
resume your usual activities after 7 – 10 days.

Having a heart-to-heart with Dr. Pollard, she will help you decide whether a chin implant is
right for you.

Botox Myth Busters

What is Botox/Dysport?

  • Botox is a drug made from a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin. It is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions and cosmetically remove wrinkles.

How does Botox work?

  • Botox is injected into muscles, where it blocks nerve impulses to those tissues. The muscle activity that causes the frown lines is reduced, and a smoother look results.

Am I going to have that frozen look after receiving Botox?

  • After your injection you should look refreshed. Friends will notice ‘something different’, but they should not be able to tell you had something done.

Will Botox get rid of all my wrinkles?

  • Facial lines that exist when your face is totally relaxed are not very good candidates for Botox, they would need dermal filler. Botox works best on areas of a contracting muscle – between the eyes, forehead, and crows’ feet.

Will I see immediate results?

  • You will normally see improvement within a few days; maximum effect usually takes 10-14 days. At 2 weeks, whatever effect has occurred should be considered the maximum effect.

Is Botox Painful?

  • Any injection can hurt, although the needles used are very small and pain is usually minimal.  A cold pack can be applied before and after treatment to ease discomfort.

How often should I get Botox?

  • Most people see effects for 3 to 4 months, but several factors can affect that, and treatments can be adjusted.

Will I get bruised or swollen after treatment?

  • Most commonly, people will have redness at injection site; rarely some people may experience slight bruising or temporary uneven texture.

What happens if I think results should be more visible?

  • Every person and every muscle reacts differently.  Your injector may be conservative on the first treatment. If you would like a more dramatic look, you can receive additional injections at an additional cost.
