What to Expect with Blepharoplasty Surgery (Eyelid Lift)
Sagging eyelids caused by excessive skin and fatty tissue can make a person look tired all the time, as well as appear much older than they are. Drooping eyelids can also interfere with one’s vision. Thankfully, blepharoplasty surgery – also called eyelid surgery or an eyelift – can reverse the effects of aging on the eyes.
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure in which excessive skin and fat are removed from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Sometimes called an eyelid lift, blepharoplasty has become so popular in the last few years that it is now in the top five most common cosmetic surgeries.
Excess or sagging skin around the eyes can make a person look tired and add years to their appearance. But blepharoplasty surgery can shave off years and provide a refreshing dose of self-confidence. Dr. Ali is a board-certified plastic surgeon at AMAE Med Spa in the Troy MI area who has performed hundreds of blepharoplasty surgeries. In this article he offers important information about Blepharoplasty surgery, to help you decide if an eyelid lift is right for you.
Anti-Aging Benefits of Blepharoplasty
As the years go by, the skin produces less collagen and elastin. This results in sagging, drooping and loss of the “snap back” that skin had when we were younger. Genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure and even gravity all play a roll in determining how and when a person’s eyelids will begin to sag and droop.
And when extra skin or fatty tissue around the eyelids is present, the muscles around the eyes can have a more difficult time keeping them lifted. Vision can become partially blocked over time by droopy eyelids, and saggy eyelids and “bags” can make a person look and feel old and tired.
But blepharoplasty can reverse this issue, by surgically removing excess and/or stretched skin and fat around the eyes. The result is a more youthful, rested appearance – as well as improved vision in many cases!
All blepharoplasty treatments begin with an initial consultation. Dr. Ali will go over everything the patient can expect throughout their procedure.
Blepharoplasty for the Upper Eyelids
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure which does not require general anesthesia (being “put to sleep”), and does not need a hospital stay. The eyelid area will be thoroughly numbed, so that patients will feel no pain or discomfort. The procedure itself is relatively straightforward in the hands of a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali.
In upper eyelid blepharoplasty, extra skin and fat are removed by way of a small incision made at the natural fold where the eyelid creases. Once the excess tissue has been eliminated, the incision is closed with tine stitches, so that scaring will be concealed in the crease not be clearly visible.
Blepharoplasty for the Lower Eyelids
The process of lower eyelid surgery is very similar. However, the tiny incision will be made directly behind the patient’s lower eyelid – so no scarring will be visible. Any excess fat and tissue under the skin will be surgically removed, leaving behind no baggy pockets beneath the eyes.
Blepharoplasty Preparation
As with any surgical procedure, it is important to properly prepare to achieve the best results and the fastest recovery. Even though blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure with minimal risk, results and recovery can be greatly improved by keeping a few things in mind beforehand.
First of all, patients are advised to stop smoking if at all possible. While we understand that this is challenging, the healing process will be much faster and easier if the patient can avoid cigarettes for at least three to four week prior to surgery.
Patients taking blood thinning medications (including aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Excedrin, Advil, and certain types of herbal supplements) are generally advised to stop taking them for at least one week prior to, and one week following surgery, as these can cause excess bleeding during and after surgery. However, this should be discussed with your prescribing physician. Never stop a medication without your doctor’s approval.
Also, inform Dr. Ali of your medical history. Don’t be shy. Any situation which might affect the procedure or outcome should be discussed during your initial consultation. Dr. Ali will prescribe any medications you may need for pain or infection prevention beforehand, so you can pick them up before surgery.
Finally, make arrangements for someone to drive you home after the procedure is complete, as you will be unable to drive home.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelift) Recovery
Blepharoplasty surgery takes approximately an hour from start to finish for a single eyelid. For those who may choose to do both eyelids at once, this time can be doubled.
It is common to feel some minor discomfort following the procedure. This can last as long as a few days but can typically be treated with over-the-counter pain medication. In some instances, Dr. Ali can prescribe strong pain-relieving medications. This is usually done at the time of the consultation, so that medication may be picked up prior to the surgery.
The presence of any bruising or swelling may last as long as a week before subsiding. A simple cold compress or ice pack should help.
Alternatives to Blepharoplasty Surgery
Every patient is different – and has different desires and beauty goals. An eyelift can be a fantastic solution for regaining a youthful look and removing vision obstructions. But for patients whose cosmetic concerns are wrinkles, rather than sagging lids, an eyebrow lift may be a preferable alternative.
If surgery does not seem like a good fit, talk to Dr. Ali about CO2RE, Profound, Morpheus8 or ThermiEye skin tightening. These nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedures can also rejuvenate the face and eye area using energy based treatments rather than surgery.
Similarly, Dr. Ali can suggest other procedures that can be used to compliment blepharoplasty. Botox, for example, is often used in addition to an eyelid surgery for patients who want to also get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. Some patients might want to consider dermal fillers, or advanced laser and radiofrequency procedures as well.

Why Skin Needs Hyaluronic Acid & How to Get More of It
/in Skin Care /by adminWhy Skin Needs Hyaluronic Acid – And the Best Way to Get It
Hyaluronic acid is one of those ingredients in skincare products that every manufacturer is touting. In fact, you can barely turn on the TV or scroll the web without seeing multiple adds for something containing hyaluronic acid or “HA”.
So, what is this miracle product, and is it as important (and effective) as everyone is saying? Is it really an acid? And how (and where) should one apply it?
In this article the skincare experts at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa discuss everything you need to know about hyaluronic acid (HA) – including how you can naturally increase your body’s own production of this amazing substance!
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance that is produced by the body. Its primary job is to hydrate the connective tissue that maintains the skin’s strength and elasticity. 50% of the body’s HA is found in the skin – with the rest being found in the eyes, lips and joints.
What makes hyaluronic acid so amazing is that it can retain over 1,000 times its weight in water, so it is super hydrating. It holds in the moisture that supports a bright, youthful complexion by keeping skin cells plump and strong. There is really no other substance that can help boost moisture levels in the skin like hyaluronic acid does.
Getting Enough Hyaluronic Acid
Many people wonder why they need to get hyaluronic acid from skincare products and treatments if the body already produces HA naturally.
Unfortunately, as we age, the body’s production of natural hyaluronic acid decreases. Babies are born with very high amounts of hyaluronic acid, which is why their skin is so soft, smooth and plump. But by the time we reach the age of 40 the HA levels in our body have already decreased by one-third.
So, people turn to high quality beauty products that contain HA – including moisturizers and night creams –to prevent dry skin and help stave off the effects of aging. Maintaining high levels of hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture and elasticity in the skin, to fight the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging or dull skin.
And, don’t be concerned that HA is an acid. Not all acids strip cells and cause irritation. In fact, hyaluronic acid is actually a type of sugar molecule!
How to Get More Hyaluronic Acid
There are 3 way to improve and increase the amount of HA in the skin – to restore plumpness and elasticity and to fight the signs of aging.
#1. Topical Hyaluronic Skincare Products
When applied directly to the skin, hyaluronic acid will hydrate the skin cells for a plumper appearance that can also minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
HA also has some antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from UV sun exposure and other harsh environmental or chemical exposure.
However, it is important to purchase hyaluronic acid skincare products from a reputable, medical grade brand such as Elastin or ZO. This is because, hyaluronic acid molecules are often too big for skin absorption if they are not formulated properly.
#2. Hyaluronic Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid can be injected directly into the skin and facial tissue, using dermal fillers to help fill wrinkles, and plump thinning or sagging areas of the face.
Popular facial fillers Juvéderm and Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid formulas. And because they are made of a naturally occurring sugar molecule, they are extremely safe, as well as natural looking and feeling, when injected into the skin.
Hyaluronic acid facial filler injections can last from a few months up to an amazing two years – depending on which formula is chosen and where it is injected.
#3. Aesthetic Treatments that Stimulate Hyaluronic Production
The most effective and long-lasting way to maintain high hyaluronic acid levels in the skin is through medical grade skin care treatments that actually stimulate the body to start producing more of its own HA.
At AMAE Med Spa we offer several Laser, Radiofrequency and Microneedling treatments that can activate the body’s natural hyaluronic acid production process – for dramatic and long-lasting anti-aging results.
Topical creams can provide excellent temporary improvements in skin over time. And fillers can offer immediate, impressive skin plumping results that typically last from 6 months to a year. But when you restore the body’s own HA production with laser or radiofrequency treatments you are actually causing the skin to rejuvenate itself from the inside out for continuing improvement.
Our CO2RE and IPL laser treatments, as well as our revolutionary new Profound and Morpheus8 radiofrequency procedures, all deliver thermal energy deep into the dermis (lower layer of skin) to renew production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
This rebuilds and repair the skin on a deep cellular level – smoothing wrinkles, tightening sagging skin, and plumping hollow, flat contours. And the tissue then continues to produce hyaluronic acid, so results are continuing and very long-lasting.
Hyaluronic Acid Products & Treatments
Hyaluronic Acid is known to prevent and reverse the signs of aging – often giving it the nickname ‘fountain of youth’. It helps reduce wrinkles and promote tighter, smoother younger-looking skin by hydrating the cells.
HA also works on all skin-types, even those with oily skin. Additionally, it is safe for all skin tones and colors – even darker skin. And it is also gentle enough for those who have sensitive skin.
If you would like to “turn back time”, schedule a consultation at AMAE Med Spa in Birmingham, MI and see whether hyaluronic acid skincare products, HA dermal fillers, or one of our advanced laser or radiofrequency treatments is right for you!

Seven Gorgeous Celebrities Who’ve Had Nose Jobs
/in Rhinoplasty /by adminSeven Gorgeous Celebrities Who’ve Had Nose Jobs
A “nose job” – technically called rhinoplasty – is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. A nose job can include reshaping, narrowing, straightening, or smoothing out the nose – or re-sculpting the tip, or changing the appearance of the nostrils.
A skilled, board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali can refine the size, shape and proportions of a nose to complement the rest of the facial features, while also respecting the patient’s ethnic heritage, and ensuring that they still look like “themselves.”
Even small changes to a nose can make a large difference in how the nose and the entire face looks. And MANY celebrities credit their success in movies and on television to the difference made by a good “nose job”.
In this article we list seven of the most beautiful female celebrities who owe their gorgeous looks to rhinoplasty surgery!
#1. Jennifer Aniston Had a Nose Job
Topping the list is perpetually youthful Jennifer Aniston. In a 2007 interview with People Magazine, she admitted to having a nose job and said it was “the best thing I ever did”.
She coyly claimed it was for medical reasons. But if you look at her before and after pictures, there is no that doubt she likely would not have been cast as America’s sweetheart “Rachel” on the TV show Friends for 10 seasons without the dramatic change in her appearance.
#2. Lisa Kudrow Had a Nose Job
Speaking of Friends, Jen’s costar Lisa Kudrow also had a nose job – at the age of 16. In 2013 she told The Saturday Evening Post that her rhinoplasty was “life-altering”.
“I went from, in my mind, hideous to not hideous. I did it the summer before going to a new high school,” the actress known for playing beautiful, bewildered Phoebe stated.
#3. Kaley Cuoco Had a Nose Job
Big Bang Theory bombshell Kelly Cuoco played the heartbreaker across the hall that all the guys swooned over. She spoke candidly in a 2016 Women’s Health article, discussing her nose job and her breast augmentation surgery.
“Years ago, I had my nose done. And my boobs—best thing I ever did.” She went on “As much as you want to love your inner self… you also want to look good. I don’t think you should do it for a man or anyone else, but if it makes you feel confident, that’s amazing,” she told the magazine.
#4. Tyra Banks Had a Nose Job
The name Tyra Banks is synonymous with Super Model. In her 2018 memoir, Perfect Is Boring, she discussed having a nose job early in her supermodel career. She also told People Magazine about the decision to have rhinoplasty: “I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose. I feel I have a responsibility to tell the truth,” she said in the interview. “Fix it or flaunt it—I think women should be able to do both.”
#5. Jillian Michaels Had a Nose Job
Fitness Guru Jillian Michaels is another gorgeous celebrity who had a nose job. in a recent interview with People Magazine she said she had it done at age 16, after years of being bullied for having “a nose the size of a softball”. She is quick to acknowledge the rhinoplasty surgery made her feel more confident and changed her life.
#6. JLO Had a Nose Job
Wait! What? One of the most beautiful women in the world had a nose job? That’s right “Jenny from the Block” underwent rhinoplasty!
But, while younger women like Kelly Cuoco tend to be relaxed and upfront about plastic surgery, more mature “Gen X-ers” like 51-year-old Jennifer Lopez still tend to be a bit more coy. JLo says the nose job early in her career was just to correct breathing issues. But the before and after photos don’t lie!
#7. Cameron Diaz Had a Nose Job
Rounding out our list of gorgeous nose-job recipients is the stunning Cameron Diaz. While most people assume the “Charlie’s Angels” actress was born with her good looks, the truth is that she also has admitted to having had a nose job.
And, although she is another Gen X-er who claims the nose job was “purely medical” due to a surfing accident, the before and after photos show a smaller more refined nose post-surgery. Which just goes to show that rhinoplasty surgery can remedy breathing problems and improve the appearance of one’s nose, all at the same time!

Nose Job Techniques: Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty
/in Nose Job, Rhinoplasty /by adminThe Difference Between Open & Closed Rhinoplasty – –
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has performed hundreds of rhinoplasty surgeries – giving women and men the beautiful and natural looking noses that they love!
But, as with any surgery, an incision does have to be made during rhinoplasty – in order to access and modify the cartilage that shapes the nose. So, one of the primary concerns that Dr. Ali’s patients have is the degree of scarring they may experience after a nose job.
The type of surgical technique that is used to perform the rhinoplasty will determine where and what type of scarring may be possible. And, every person’s skin heals slightly differently.
However, in the hands of a skilled board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali, the potential for visible, lasting scars is greatly reduced – while ensuring the most attractive and natural nasal contour. Additionally, modern advancements in surgical technology have made surgical procedures much less invasive – reducing the degree of scarring greatly.
In this article we explain the different types of rhinoplasty surgical techniques, the incisions involved, and the potential for any scarring.
Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty
“Closed” rhinoplasty is a type of rhinoplasty in which all of the surgical incisions are hidden within the inside of the nostril. This technique is great, since it avoids a potentially visible scar. However, it also significantly reduces the surgical access area for the surgeon, which limits their ability to utilize many of today’s most effective rhinoplasty techniques.
“Open” rhinoplasty, uses a small (4mm) trans-columellar incision, to connect the right and left nostril incisions- which allows the nasal skin to be folded upward. This gives the surgeon much greater access to the nasal structure, enabling them to modify and/or strengthen the skeletal framework using more advanced and complex techniques.
Although the open rhinoplasty incision initially leaves a small visible scar, it is very tiny (4 mm) and it often fades completely in the months following surgery. And, in cases where substantial revisions of the nose are needed, the advantages in contouring gained by the open approach are well worth the limited risk of a tiny scar.
Endonasal Rhinoplasty: A Closed Nose Job
A closed rhinoplasty is also called endonasal rhinoplasty. Parallel incisions encircle nearly half of the nostril lining, but no part of the incision is seen externally. But, because the right and left nostril incisions are disconnected, the entire operation must be conducted through narrow surgical openings which limits access visibility.
Also, because access to the nasal framework requires vigorous stretching of the skin, some distortion of the nasal cartilage is possible. In many cases the considerable challenges and technical limitations of endonasal rhinoplasty makes it an inferior choice – even though it avoids visible scaring.
External Rhinoplasty: An Open Nose Job
An open rhinoplasty is also called an external rhinoplasty. The small bridging incision, (trans-columellar incision) offers the surgeon direct visibility of almost the entire nasal framework. There is no stretching, so distortion of the nasal cartilage is minimize. Most skilled plastic surgeons agree that the small visible columellar scar (which fades over time) is worth the improved accuracy and effectiveness of the open rhinoplasty approach.
For these same reasons, open rhinoplasty is also my preferred approach for primary (non-revision) rhinoplasty since it improves diagnostic accuracy and facilitates precision re-engineering of the misshapen nose. However, the technical demands of open rhinoplasty are rigorous, and substantial dedication and commitment to this approach are required to achieve consistently superior results.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
For patients desiring only minor or subtle changes to their nose, a third non-surgical alternative is now available. Dr. Ali is also skilled in the injection of facial fillers to remedy small cosmetic issues in the nose, including smaller bumps, slight asymmetry, etc.
The advantage of a filler or “liquid” rhinoplasty is that there in no downtime or recovery period – other than some slight swelling that dissipates in a few days. And because there are ni incisions, there are no scars and no pain afterwards. However, unlike a nose job – which is permanent – non-surgical “liquid rhinoplasty” results typically last from a year to two years.
Birmingham’s Top Rhinoplasty Surgeon
In the expert hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, the open rhinoplasty approach often offers technical advantages over closed rhinoplasty. And because the scar is so small and “beneath” the nose, it is not visible from most angles when looking at the face.
But for patients only requiring minor revisions or adjustments to the nose’s structure, closed rhinoplasty may be the best option. And for men and women who only desire minor revisions to the appearance of their nose, non-surgical liquid rhinoplasty with fillers can be an excellent alternative.
Birmingham area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men love their noses and improve their confidence with rhinoplasty surgery. Schedule a consultation and take the first step toward getting the nose you have always wanted – and look and feel like the best version of “you” that you can be!

Top Detroit Plastic Surgeon Dispels Nose Jobs Myths
/in Nose Job, Rhinoplasty /by adminTop Detroit Plastic Surgeon Dispels Myths About Nose Jobs –
Many of us look in the mirror and wish we could tweak our features. And while you can make your teeth straighter with braces, or your eyelashes longer with mascara, changing the appearance of your nose takes a little bit more work.
The good news is that modern rhinoplasty techniques have replaced the old ideas of a “nose job” that you probably still have – and changing the shape of your nose is much easier and far less painful than most people think.
As one of the the Detroit area’s top rhinoplasty surgeons, Dr. Ali put together a list of 5 common “myths” about today’s more advanced (and much more comfortable!) “nose jobs.”
Nose Job Myth #1. Everyone Will Know You Had Plastic Surgery
FACT: A Good Nose Job is Subtle & Natural
Early nose jobs left people with noses that were unnatural looking and clearly surgically altered. Today’s rhinoplasty techniques are more subtle, refined and artistic – leaving patients with a more attractive version of their existing nose, that is balanced, proportionate to their other facial features, appropriate for their bone structure, and that doesn’t erase their ethnic heritage.
Old rhinoplasty techniques involved removing nasal cartilage. This often lead to an unnatural look, and sometimes structural collapse and even deformities. Modern board certified plastic surgeons, like Dr. Ali, sculpt and reposition the existing cartilage without removing it – ensuring a nose that is both natural looking and structurally sound.
In other words, today’s nose jobs create a more beautiful nose without changing who “you” are. In most cases, people will comment on how great you look – but not even realize that you’ve had your nose done!
Nose Job Myth #2. Most Celebrities Are Born Beautiful
FACT: Many Celebrities Have Had Nose Jobs – Even Though They Deny It!
Models’ and actors’ faces are their bread and butter – but very few of them were born with movie-star facial features. And because these celebrities want us to believe that they were “born beautiful” very few publicly talk about their nose jobs.
But if you look at before and after photos of the world’s biggest stars you will see that many of their noses are straighter, smaller or more refined than when they began their careers. Jennifer Anniston, Tyra Banks, Cameron Diaz, Kaley Cuoco, Jillian Michaels and JLO are all celebrities who ADMIT to having had nose job surgery.
And, if you look at Before & After Photos, Britney Spears, Scarlet Johansen, Blake Lively, Kim Kardashian, Katie Holms, Penelope Cruz, Kylie Jenner, Natalie Portman, and even The Queen Be, Beyoncé appear to have had nose jobs!
The list of celebrity nose jobs is almost endless. But because they are done by skilled plastic surgeons, they simply create a more beautiful version of the nose that looks completely natural – and is not a glaringly “noticeable” nose job.
Nose Job Myth #3. You’ll Look Like You’ve Been in a Prize Fight
FACT: Modern Surgery Techniques Make Recovery Easy
In the early days of rhinoplasty, less sophisticated medical techniques lead to horrifying pictures of nose job patients – immobilized in hospital beds, head wrapped in bandages, eyes swollen shut, and big black eyes. And TV programs and movies still sometimes perpetuate this erroneous stereotype for comedic effect.
The truth is, you will leave our medical facility after your nose job on the same day with only a small nasal cast – usually a lightweight aluminum bridge – to stabilize and protect your nose during the initial recovery phase.
There will be some slight bruising and swelling around the nose – but the majority of our patients do not develop “black eyes” at all. And while everyone heals differently, you will certainly be “presentable” enough to go out in public the very same or next day.
Nose Job Myth #4. Your Nose Will Be Packed Full of Gauze after Rhinoplasty
FACT: Splints Replace Packing in Modern Nose Job Surgery
Some people avoid considering a nose job, because they erroneously fear that their nasal cavities will be pack with miles of gauze, making it uncomfortable to breath. Again, this is a misconception!
In modern rhinoplasty soft silicone splints are typically used to stabilize the internal structures of the nose during the first week of recovery. These splints actually help facilitate open airways and better breathing while you heal.
Nose Job Myth #5. Rhinoplasty Is Very Painful
FACT: Nose Jobs Can be Almost Painless
Recovery from any medical procedure is a very personal experience and can differ greatly from person to person. But a nose job is among the least painful surgeries – because it primarily only involves manipulation of the cartilage and does not impact muscles, bones or deeper tissue. Additionally, advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques mean much smaller incisions and much less discomfort – both during and after rhinoplasty surgery.
Use of long-term anesthetic during your nose job procedure means you will not feel a thing. And medication prescribed afterwards will fully manage any pain or discomfort after the surgery.
Depending upon how extensive the procedure, some patients even report experiencing little or no pain following surgery. And all of our patients unanimously agree that any short term discomfort was well worth having a beautiful nose on their face for the rest of their lives.
Top Nose Job (Rhinoplasty) Surgeon | Detroit Area
If you are hesitant about considering a nose job, your concerns are likely based on myths and misconceptions about rhinoplasty that arose from procedures performed back in the 1950s. Today’s rhinoplasties are very routine, yielding exceptional outcomes with very little downtime or discomfort. And the results last a lifetime.
So there’s no reason to wait to get the nose you’ve always! If you live in the Detroit area, call all top rated, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali for a consultation today.

Juvéderm Volux – The New Filler for Defined Jawlines
/in Facial Filler /by adminFirm & Define Your Chin & Jaw with Juvéderm Volux
A defined jawline helps make a man or woman look youthful and attractive – with young, tight that doesn’t sag or droop. Conversely, sagging skin in the jaw, neck or chin can add years to a person’s appearance. For this reason, the lower face and jaw is one of the most commonly requested areas for aesthetic treatment at AMAE Med Spa and Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, MI.
For decades, the only way to tighten sagging jowls was with a surgical facelift or neck lift. More recently, state-of-the-art nonsurgical laser and radiofrequency skin tightening treatments have entered the market – achieving jaw defining results without the downtime of surgery.
But this month there is more exciting news. Juvéderm, the number one facial filler manufacturer in the world, has announced a new dermal filler specifically for jawlines. New Volux is a highly effective jaw filler that can immediately help achieve a more defined jawline with a just few injections – with no surgery, no downtime and no waiting months for results.
Volux – the newest product in the Juvéderm Vycross family of hyaluronic dermal fillers – recently won New Treatment of the Year at the Global MyFaceMyBody Awards. It will be available for use in Med Spas later in 2021.
In this article the facial filler experts at AMAE Med Spa and Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, MI explain everything you need to know about the new Juvéderm Volux jaw filler that we will be offering as soon as it becomes available later this year.
Juvéderm Volux for a Defined, Sculpted Jawline
Over the past 10 years, dermal fillers have made drastic improvements in their formulations and their versatility. Once used merely for filling fine lines and wrinkles, the new generation of facial fillers can now be used to actually restore the foundation of the face. The effects of jaw fillers can be seen all over social media, and in photos of some of world’s the top influencers and favorite celebrities.
Jaw fillers are thick consistency dermal gel injections that used not just to “fill” but to shape and contour. In the hands of a skilled medical injector, Volux jaw filler is actually a fast and relatively simple procedure, that yields immediate results – which are just some of the factors behind its popularity.
In addition to increasing definition, jaw fillers can decrease the appearance of sagging skin, as well as reduce fine lines and wrinkles. But Juvéderm Volux takes this a step further, because it was specifically designed for use on the chin and jawline.
Some people are born with “weak chins” or receding jawlines. But, as a person ages, they also lose both subcutaneous fat (padding under the skin) as well as loss of bone and muscle mass. And, to complicate matters even further, skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag with age. But Juvéderm Volux offers an effective and long-lasting solution to these problems.
How Juvéderm Volux Fills & Defines Jawlines
Let’s get scientific for a moment. Juvéderm Volux is an injected dermal implant created specifically for the jaw and chin. It’s comprised of a unique, concentrated hyaluronic acid formula in the form of a thick homogenized gel. Once injected, Volux will “set” and replicate the appearance of bone in both look and feel.
Juvéderm Volux Jaw Filler for Men
A strong, square jawline has always been part of the masculine ideal. And Volux is now a great choice for men seeking a stronger, more pronounced chin.
In the past few years, men have become more aware of the benefits which can come from cosmetic enhancements. The ease, affordability and immediate results of minimally invasive Juvéderm Volux jaw filler injections, make it an attractive alternative for men looking to achieve that striking and strong jawline.
Juvéderm Volux Jaw Filler for Women
Celebrities like Angelina Jolie have made sculpted, angular features – including a defined jawline – a defining characteristics of female beauty and attractiveness in current popular culture.
So, women may also find Volux jaw fillers appealing to replenish what genetics, age, and gravity have taken away from them.
Juvéderm Volux and Other Treatments
Underneath the chin sits a pad of fat cells – called submental fat. Volux can be combined with other aesthetic treatments – such as Liposuction, CoolScultping or Kybella – to reduce or remove unwanted fat cells. These procedures can be used to remove a “double chin” and then Juvéderm Volux can be used to strengthen and define the appearance of jaw.

Celebrities Who Have Had Plastic Surgery
/in Plastic Surgery /by adminCelebrities Who Have Had Plastic Surgery
In the famous words of Dolly Parton, “If I see something sagging, bagging, or dragging I’ll get it nipped, tucked or sucked!” Almost everyone has something that they would like to change about their body – and at AMAE Plastic Surgery we help our Troy, Mi area patients make these dreams a reality.
While plastic surgery used to be a “big secret” among actors and a-listers, influencers and celebrities now openly admit to their delight with using surgical enhancement to get the face and body they have always wanted.
So, who are some of the most famous people to recently have had plastic surgery?
Real Housewives Who Have Had Plastic Surgery
While they might not be like the housewives on your street, the “Real Housewives” from Bravo TV are known for having cosmetic procedures done on the regular. From The Real Housewives of New York, Sonja Morgan and Leah McSweeney have both been upfront about their procedures. Leah, on Instagram wrote, “I can’t wait to show off the new and improved girls” following her breast augmentation in December of 2020.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann from Real Housewives of Atlanta has been an open book on multiple procedures, from tummy tucks to lip injections, and more. And while some ant to go “all out” many celebrities just “want a tune up,” like Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes. The NeNe Leakes approach to a more subtle “surgical tweakment” is one we regularly see at AMAe Plastic Surgery in the Troy, MI area.
Other Reality Stars and Plastic Surgery
The Real Housewives aren’t the only reality stars who have had plastic surgery. Former Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham has been open about getting lip fillers, breast augmentations, a nose job (rhinoplasty), and vaginal rejuvenation procedure.
From the Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise fame, Amanda Stanton has said after breast feeding her second child, that she finally opted for a breast augmentation after waiting years to have one.
Celebrity Breast Implant Surgery
Many times, plastic surgery comes from necessity. That was the case for Angelina Jolie, who possesses the BRCA1 gene, which increases the risk of developing breast cancer. Jolie had a preventative double mastectomy with reconstructive surgical breast implants to remove the risk.
Ariel Winter, star of the ABC comedy series Modern Family, underwent a breast reduction in 2015 from size 34F to a more proportionate and comfortable size 32D. Winter told Glamour Magazine, “I had a lot of back problems. I really couldn’t stand up straight for a long period of time.” Once her neck began hurting so badly that it was causing difficulty with her spine, she knew it was time to turn to plastic surgery to relieve her pain.
But other celebrities – like Aussie rapper, Iggy Azalea and The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco – are just looking to enhance their appearance. Azalea told Vogue magazine in April 2015 she had gotten breast implants after thinking about getting them “her entire life.” Kaley Cuoco told Cosmopolitan that getting breast implants was “the best decision I ever made.”
Celebrity Nose Job Plastic Surgery
For other stars, their nose takes center stage … of their face, and of their plastic surgery experience. Jennifer Aniston has said her rhinoplasty surgery was the “best thing I ever did”. And Disney Channel star Ashley Tisdale – known for her roles in High School Musical and the Suite Life of Zack & Cody – also had a nose job allegedly to fix a deviated septum in order to help her breath better.
Supermodel Tyra Banks preaches natural beauty, but, as she revealed in her memoir, Perfect is Boring she also elected to have rhinoplasty surgery. And after her nose job she became one of the most successful and highest paid supermodels in the industry!
Other notable celebrities who have had nose jobs include Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling, and fitness star Jillian Michaels who said, “I had my nose done when I was 16 years old, and I’ll be honest, it did change my life.” In an even bigger “glow up”, Hills star Heidi Montag, at 23 years old, had a head-to-toe makeover with 10 cosmetic procedures in one day including Botox, chin reductions, and a nose job!
Celebrity Plastic Surgery for Eyes
One of the first things most people notice about someone is their eyes. Hairspray actress Amanda Bynes was born with unusual webbing between her eyes. She decided to have this birth defect surgically removed. And, The Talk co-host Julie Chen, early in her career, wanted her eyes to look bigger. So, she opted for plastic surgery as a solution. In 2013 she said, “And after I had it done, the ball did roll for me,” referencing her “eye job” procedure.

What to Expect with Blepharoplasty Surgery (Eyelid Lift)
/in Blepharoplasty /by adminWhat to Expect with Blepharoplasty Surgery (Eyelid Lift)
Sagging eyelids caused by excessive skin and fatty tissue can make a person look tired all the time, as well as appear much older than they are. Drooping eyelids can also interfere with one’s vision. Thankfully, blepharoplasty surgery – also called eyelid surgery or an eyelift – can reverse the effects of aging on the eyes.
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure in which excessive skin and fat are removed from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Sometimes called an eyelid lift, blepharoplasty has become so popular in the last few years that it is now in the top five most common cosmetic surgeries.
Excess or sagging skin around the eyes can make a person look tired and add years to their appearance. But blepharoplasty surgery can shave off years and provide a refreshing dose of self-confidence. Dr. Ali is a board-certified plastic surgeon at AMAE Med Spa in the Troy MI area who has performed hundreds of blepharoplasty surgeries. In this article he offers important information about Blepharoplasty surgery, to help you decide if an eyelid lift is right for you.
Anti-Aging Benefits of Blepharoplasty
As the years go by, the skin produces less collagen and elastin. This results in sagging, drooping and loss of the “snap back” that skin had when we were younger. Genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure and even gravity all play a roll in determining how and when a person’s eyelids will begin to sag and droop.
And when extra skin or fatty tissue around the eyelids is present, the muscles around the eyes can have a more difficult time keeping them lifted. Vision can become partially blocked over time by droopy eyelids, and saggy eyelids and “bags” can make a person look and feel old and tired.
But blepharoplasty can reverse this issue, by surgically removing excess and/or stretched skin and fat around the eyes. The result is a more youthful, rested appearance – as well as improved vision in many cases!
All blepharoplasty treatments begin with an initial consultation. Dr. Ali will go over everything the patient can expect throughout their procedure.
Blepharoplasty for the Upper Eyelids
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure which does not require general anesthesia (being “put to sleep”), and does not need a hospital stay. The eyelid area will be thoroughly numbed, so that patients will feel no pain or discomfort. The procedure itself is relatively straightforward in the hands of a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali.
In upper eyelid blepharoplasty, extra skin and fat are removed by way of a small incision made at the natural fold where the eyelid creases. Once the excess tissue has been eliminated, the incision is closed with tine stitches, so that scaring will be concealed in the crease not be clearly visible.
Blepharoplasty for the Lower Eyelids
The process of lower eyelid surgery is very similar. However, the tiny incision will be made directly behind the patient’s lower eyelid – so no scarring will be visible. Any excess fat and tissue under the skin will be surgically removed, leaving behind no baggy pockets beneath the eyes.
Blepharoplasty Preparation
As with any surgical procedure, it is important to properly prepare to achieve the best results and the fastest recovery. Even though blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure with minimal risk, results and recovery can be greatly improved by keeping a few things in mind beforehand.
First of all, patients are advised to stop smoking if at all possible. While we understand that this is challenging, the healing process will be much faster and easier if the patient can avoid cigarettes for at least three to four week prior to surgery.
Patients taking blood thinning medications (including aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Excedrin, Advil, and certain types of herbal supplements) are generally advised to stop taking them for at least one week prior to, and one week following surgery, as these can cause excess bleeding during and after surgery. However, this should be discussed with your prescribing physician. Never stop a medication without your doctor’s approval.
Also, inform Dr. Ali of your medical history. Don’t be shy. Any situation which might affect the procedure or outcome should be discussed during your initial consultation. Dr. Ali will prescribe any medications you may need for pain or infection prevention beforehand, so you can pick them up before surgery.
Finally, make arrangements for someone to drive you home after the procedure is complete, as you will be unable to drive home.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelift) Recovery
Blepharoplasty surgery takes approximately an hour from start to finish for a single eyelid. For those who may choose to do both eyelids at once, this time can be doubled.
It is common to feel some minor discomfort following the procedure. This can last as long as a few days but can typically be treated with over-the-counter pain medication. In some instances, Dr. Ali can prescribe strong pain-relieving medications. This is usually done at the time of the consultation, so that medication may be picked up prior to the surgery.
The presence of any bruising or swelling may last as long as a week before subsiding. A simple cold compress or ice pack should help.
Alternatives to Blepharoplasty Surgery
Every patient is different – and has different desires and beauty goals. An eyelift can be a fantastic solution for regaining a youthful look and removing vision obstructions. But for patients whose cosmetic concerns are wrinkles, rather than sagging lids, an eyebrow lift may be a preferable alternative.
If surgery does not seem like a good fit, talk to Dr. Ali about CO2RE, Profound, Morpheus8 or ThermiEye skin tightening. These nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedures can also rejuvenate the face and eye area using energy based treatments rather than surgery.
Similarly, Dr. Ali can suggest other procedures that can be used to compliment blepharoplasty. Botox, for example, is often used in addition to an eyelid surgery for patients who want to also get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. Some patients might want to consider dermal fillers, or advanced laser and radiofrequency procedures as well.

Why More Men are Considering Plastic Surgery
/in Plastic Surgery /by adminWhy More Men Are Getting Plastic Surgery
Originally, the vast majority of plastic surgery patients were women. But the number of men who are now undergoing cosmetic procedures is surging.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the total number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed among men prior to the pandemic was almost one and a half million annually. That figure now represents close to 10 percent of the total number of cosmetic surgical procedures. And while 10% may not sound like a lot, it is triple the number of men undergoing plastic surgery in 1997.
In a survey conducted by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS)in June of 2020, almost one third of the men questioned said that they were “extremely likely” to consider a cosmetic procedure in the future. Almost 50% of the men surveyed said they would consider a cosmetic surgery treatment to feel more confident. And 25% said that they would undergo plastic surgery because they wanted to “look younger” in order to remain competitive in the workplace.
What to Look for In a Men’s Plastic Surgeon
Obviously, men’s anatomy is very different than a woman’s. Additionally, male skin is thicker than female skin, and men have more oil glands, as well as a higher ration of muscle to fat. For this reason it is extremely important for a man who is considering plastic surgery to find a surgeon like Dr. Ali who is specifically trained and experienced in working with male anatomy.
The details and nuances of plastic surgery procedures can often differ dramatically between the sexes. For example, when performing rhinoplasty (nose job) surgery, a small “turned up” nose may meet certain ideals of feminine beauty. But a larger, stronger more “masculine” nose shape is necessary to look balanced and attractive on a man’s face.
A similar example of the divergence of treatments between men and women is Botox injections. Most men will require larger doses of Botox to get the same effect as a woman, since male muscles are generally much larger and stronger.
Dr. Ali has helped thousands of men in the Birmingham, Detroit, and Troy, MI areas look and feel like younger more attractive versions of themselves with plastic surgery procedures.
Most Popular Men’s Plastic Surgery Procedures
According to 2017 statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the most popular plastic surgery procedure for men is liposuction. This is then followed in popularity by eye-lift surgery, male breast reduction, tummy tucks, and face-lifts.
Non-surgical cosmetic treatments to which men gravitate are led by Botox – the world’s number one cosmetic procedure. Facial fillers are also growing in popularity among men – especially with the addition of new facial fillers – such as new Juvéderm Volux – that are tailored to a man’s needs. Volux, for example, is specifically formulated to add shape, volume and definition to the chin jawline – making very popular among our male patients. And, Kybella injections can banish a man’s double chin non-surgically, and without downtime.
Plastic Surgery Works When Nothing Else Does
Many men try to enhance their bodies – and reduce problem areas – by working out, and dieting or eating healthy. But in many cases, nothing works because fat placement on the body is often the result of genetics, aging and/or hormone decline.
But cosmetic surgery such as liposuction, a tummy tuck or male breast reduction, can permanently remove stubborn fat that nature has cruelly placed in unwanted areas. These men’s plastic surgery procedures can get rid of fat almost anywhere on the body – including hereditary or hormonal fat that does not respond to diet or exercise.
We have also helped hundreds of men lose unwanted fat and get the slim toned body they want with non-invasive CoolSculpting. This revolutionary, non-surgical procedure can reduce fat by up to 24% – with no exercise, no dieting, and no downtime.

Permanently Get Rid of Back Fat with Liposuction!
/in Liposuction /by adminHow Liposuction Banishes Back Fat–
As people are finally beginning to reenter society after the pandemic, many individuals now find that they are facing unsightly fat deposits in unusual places. The pandemic weight gain -sometimes called the “Quarantine 15” – has resulted in many men and women experiencing unwanted fat in new places on the body due to the past year of isolation and inactivity. And one place where fat readily accumulates – and then is almost impossible to remove – is the upper back.
“Back fat” – also called “bra bulge” or “bra rolls” – can be particularly difficult to banish because it often consists of a layer of adipose tissue under the skin (subcutaneous fat) that is “hard fat” rather than the visceral fat or “soft fat” that occurs around the abdomen.
If you are a man or women suffering from back fat, AMAE Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Oakland County has the solution. To reduce fat that has accumulated in the upper or lower back, liposuction is an ideal (and often the only) effective treatment. Some of the most dramatic results from liposuction can be seen when it is applied to the back.
Back liposuction can permanently remove back rolls, bulges around the bra, and other fatty lumps in the back. Patients can remove up to 11 pounds of fat in a single session with liposuction, and experience and an overall slimmer, smoother and more proportionate physique. Clothes (and bathing suits!) look better – and patients have a new sense of self-esteem and confidence.
Am I a Candidate for Back Liposuction?
Back liposuction is an ideal treatment for stubborn pockets of back fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. Many women have a hereditary predisposition to developing back fat that is not their fault – and liposuction can be the “miracle” that finally gets rid of it once and for all.
In fact, the back is one of the best areas of the body for liposuction. During back liposuction, an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali can use a more aggressive approach than they can on breasts or thighs. This because there is less excess skin on the back, and the skin on the back is less sensitive than in other areas of the body.
Although patients will typically lose several pounds of fat, back liposuction is not a weight loss method, per se – and is not safe or effective for people who are obese. However back liposuction IS a highly effective “inch loss” method that can take several inches of unsightly bulges off of the body.
How Back Liposuction is Performed
In performing back liposuction, a tube-like device called a cannula is gently inserted into the fat layer of the back. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali gently moves the cannula slowly back and forth to break up the fat cells and release them from the walls. These fat cells are then sucked out through the cannula.
Dr. Ali performs minimally invasive tumescent liposuction, so only local anesthetic is used – and patients are not “knocked out”. This modern liposuction technology means smaller incisions, barely visible scars that fade quickly, faster healing, less discomfort and better results than older, more invasive forms of liposuction.
Dr. Ali approaches the fatty tissue in the back from multiple angles, skillfully sculpting the body to achieve the most proportionate, smooth, consistent and natural-looking results possible.
Because back skin is thick it can be prone to drooping. So, the middle and upper back are usually liposuction at the same time, as a unit. This enables Dr. Ali to achieve a smooth, sculpted, proportionate appearance. For patients with large amounts of excess skin remaining that doesn’t “snap back” AMAE Plastic Surgery also offers several state-of-the-art, non-invasive skin tightening treatments that can be used in conjunction with liposuction.
Even better, because the body can never produce new fat cells, once the back fat is removed by liposuction it can never come back. SO, unlike dieting and exercising – which can be an endless roller coaster of gaining losing and regaining fat – back lipo is permanent.
Oakland County’s Best Back Liposuction
Dr. Ali considers all of the factors affecting your case, including your skin’s elasticity, the proportions of your entire body, and your appearance goals to achieve liposuction results that are not only beautiful, but are 100% uniquely “you”.
Get the shape you’ve always wanted – and look and feel better in your clothes and out of them – with back liposuction. Financing options are also available.
