Non-Surgical Services
At St. Charles Plastic Surgery, many of our patients seek cosmetic options that will enhance their natural attributes with minimal downtime. For this reason, we are pleased to offer a wide variety of non-surgical services, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, at our facility near Chicago and Naperville.
Featured Non-Surgical Procedures
BOTOX® COSMETIC
BOTOX® Cosmetic injection treatments have helped many of our patients look years younger, often over their lunch break!
Unlike more complicated surgical procedures, wrinkle reduction with BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can be done right in our St. Charles office. You can receive this simple and effective treatment in just one visit and should begin to see the results in a few days.
Following a treatment session, you will be able to enjoy smooth, younger looking skin for up to four months. BOTOX® Cosmetic injection treatments may be ideal for patients who are not quite ready for face lift surgery or blepharoplasty, but who still desire a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
BOTOX® to Reduce Excessive Sweating
BOTOX® injection treatments are available at our office for the relief of excessive sweating. People who suffer from excessive sweating live with constant fear of embarrassing odor and clothing stains. People with hyperhidrosis often get caught in a cycle of feeling nervous because of their excessive sweating, which causes them to sweat even more.
BOTOX® injections are among the most effective non-surgical treatments for hyperhidrosis.
TISSUE FILLERS
Tissue fillers can be used to enhance lower facial lines, and to reduce wrinkles in certain places. Ask Dr. Ghaderi which treatment is right for you.
Tissue fillers take minutes to inject and the results can last for months or years, depending on the type of filler you choose and your body.
MOLE REMOVAL
Mole removal is a fast and easy procedure with the technology available at St. Charles Plastic Surgery. In addition to being unsightly and embarrassing for some people, moles can eventually become cancerous.
If you notice that a mole is growing or changing shape, particularly if it is rough or asymmetrical, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ghaderi, or see your family doctor right away.
NUTRITION SERVICES
What you eat affects every organ, including your skin. In order for you to both achieve and maintain the best results from Dr. Ghaderi’s care, you need to be receiving proper nutrition during your post-surgical recovery. Our staff nutritionist is a registered and licensed dietitian who can not only help you recover faster from treatment, but who can also improve and preserve your results from Dr. Ghaderi’s care.
Services offered by our nutritionist include:
– Weight Loss and/or Weight Maintenance Programs
– Nutrition Education for Disease Prevention and Specific Disease States
– Realistic Meal Plans & Menu Ideas
Following nutritional guidelines can enhance the results of various facial plastic surgery procedures. Plastic surgery patients who have undergone breast procedures can also benefit from proper nutrition. For example, many breast lift, breast reduction, breast reconstruction and breast augmentation Chicago patients notice faster healing and less post-surgical discomfort when following our nutrition advice. Proper diet is especially important for tummy tuck and liposuction patients who desire to maintain their body contouring results.
If you are interested in comprehensive nutritional counseling, please ask for an appointment with our registered dietician, Ms. Linda Truver.
