BOTOX® COSMETIC
Botox treatment is a revolutionary approach to reversing the affects facial wrinkles. Crow’s feet, worry lines and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past. These are referred to as dynamic wrinkle lines and all are treatable with this procedure. Cosmetic denervation is the process of injecting botox into the tiny facial muscles that create the wrinkles.
BEFORE SURGERY
To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history prior to surgery. In addition, a complete examination of your eyes is made in order to decide the most effective injection sites. All issues and concerns will be discussed.
The areas that will be treated are marked and digital photographs are taken in order to determine the amount of improvement after surgery.
THE BOTOX PROCEDURE
Botox injections are performed without anesthesia because it is virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment’s effect. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience as dramatic of results. Botox is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.
POST-OPERATIVE INFORMATION
After the operation patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. Normal activities can be performed immediately. Possible side effects are temporary weakness of nearby muscles or in rare cases an eyelid may droop. Botox is completely reversible so any side effect is only a temporary condition. The doctor will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.

Dr Michaelis is the best doctor I could ever ask for. He painlessly removed my wisdom teeth and believe me I was scared. I would highly recommend him.

Reviews because I believe in privacy but Dr. Michaelis deserves a lot of credit on this because I was very hesitant to seeing a oral surgeon , but I know i needed to. He put me at ease and described in great detail on what he will be doing and why it was important. Based on his demeanor and confidence and my research on him it was a no brainer as he is one of the best if not the best oral surgeon in California. I am beyond happy with my results

My 10 year old daughter had to have four teeth extracted. Dr Kriwanek made her ( and I) so comfortable about the procedure. He and his staff were amazing. Not an ounce of pain and healed up perfectly. Highly recommend Dr. Kriwanek!

I highly recommend Dr. Thomas Michaelis for dental implants. I have had four implants, the first more than eight years ago, and all implants are still perfect. Also, Dr. Michalis is pleasant and caring.

Dr. Kriwanek is an outstanding doctor! He is knowledgeable, professional and did an amazing job with my bone graft and implants. I was comfortable during both procedures and felt minimal discomfort during my recovery period. The entire staff was compassionate, caring and answered all my questions. They did such a great job that I felt compelled to write this review. Thank you so much for making this a positive experience.
