BOTOX and dermal filler injectable treatments at Center for Cosmetic Surgery in San Diego are offered by Dr. Sassan Alavi's surgical practice as a complement to the clinic's surgical portfolio, providing non-surgical facial rejuvenation options for patients who want to address early or moderate signs of ageing without downtime. BOTOX Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is injected in small doses into targeted facial muscles to temporarily relax the muscle contractions responsible for dynamic expression lines — wrinkles that form from repeated facial movements and deepen over time as skin loses elasticity. Common treatment areas include the glabellar frown lines between the brows (the '11s'), horizontal forehead lines, and crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes. The clinic also uses BOTOX for the platysmal bands of the neck — the vertical cord-like prominences that become more visible with age as the neck muscles separate and become more prominent, often called 'neck rings' or 'tech neck lines.' BOTOX in the neck (the 'Nefertiti lift') can temporarily soften these bands and produce a subtle lifting effect on the jaw margin. Results from BOTOX at this clinic are stated to last approximately 3–5 months, after which the treatment is repeated to maintain effect. Dermal fillers offer a complementary approach: whereas BOTOX relaxes muscles to soften dynamic lines, fillers add volume to areas of structural loss or deep static lines that persist at rest. The clinic uses Juvederm, a family of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers available in varying viscosities suited to different treatment zones — nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip volume, cheek projection, and tear troughs. Bellafill (PMMA microspheres in bovine collagen) is a longer-lasting filler indicated for nasolabial fold correction with results associated with lasting up to five years; it stimulates collagen synthesis around the PMMA microspheres for sustained volume. Injectable sessions are brief — most appointments run 15–30 minutes — with minimal recovery time. Pricing is by consultation.
