 Enjoy free area of dysport when 2 or more fillers are purchased by 3/1/2019Smooth wrinkles and refresh your features without having to go under the knife. Achieve natural results now with Dr. Sonny O’s well-honed liquid lift skills. “I like that he took the expertise of a plastic surgeon and applied it to how he could refresh my features, turning back the clock without giving me that ‘real housewives’ fake look. I’m not opposed to doing the surgical lift on my big decade birthday,” shares a Timeless Now patient. “For now, Dr. O’s Liquid Lift targeted my jawline, cheeks and darkening eye troughs for an instant refresh.” The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that the number of minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments increased 200 percent since 2000, with Botox/Dysport and fillers at the top of the list. “A lot of our patients find caring about their appearance part of remaining vital, confident and having the exterior reflect how they feel inside,” says practice manager, Kylene Surowiec. “They look to us to keep pace with rapidly advancing treatments associated with less down time. It is not so much about whether they will treat the signs of facial aging, but rather what method of treatment they will decide to use.” Enter, the Liquid Lift and the Timeless Glow signature offerings. liquid liftsWrinkle-smoothing injectables are non-invasive cosmetic treatments with low-downtime that freshens and smooths wrinkles. They temporarily freeze the facial muscles and treat the lines formed from repetitive facial movements like squinting and smiling. Dr. O prefers Dysport for the Liquid Lift, “Dysport smooths more evenly to provide a naturally soft look that is less expensive, and patients don’t stop seeing its benefits after prolonged use.” Dysport is a protein extracted from Clostridium Botulinum, a bacterium. It has a low protein concentration and therefore offers a better spreading effect as compared to Botox. Even spreading provides a more natural and softer look to the forehead. It is injected into the facial muscles that, when constricted, cause the glabellar lines (known as the frown lines) between the eyebrows, the smile lines or crows feet for the eyes, as well as the forehead lines disappear. Over time Botox injections are no longer effective as they cause an immune response in patients. Because Dysport uses lesser amount of proteins than Botox, patients elicit a milder immune response and the injectable continues to work over time. Two syringes of Restylane soft-tissue hyaluronic fillers are customized in their use depending on the patient’s unique facial aging symptoms. Facial contouring is what sets Dr. O’s liquid lift apart. Targeting the cheeks, jawline, chin, and marionette folds, the Liquid Lift is a non-surgical procedure in which dermal fillers are injected into the face to enhance different angles and temporarily lift facial features. “When I determine each patient’s best tactic for shedding years from their face, the contour of the jaw line and cheeks are so important. Subtly defining lights and shadows that develop from sinking, sagging and other typical aging signs and symptoms can greatly improve overall facial appearance,” Dr. O naturally-contours lips versus creating a large puffy lip. Natural-looking results around the mouth area are achieved using Juvéderm Volbella XC to softly plump and contour lips (not volumize) and smooth marionette lines. Say good-bye to the “duck lip” days. timeless glowA signature hybrid of Intense Pulse Light (IPL) to even skin tone and enhance collagen with injectables to smooth lines is the foundation of Dr. O’s Timeless Glow. While the Liquid Lift is an overall refreshment of the face by defining facial contouring and line smoothing, the Timeless Glow concentrates on the quality of your skin. It focuses on bringing back youthful glow, decreasing pore size, boosting collagen development and simultaneously smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Patients vary of the number of units needed for smoothing and IPLs recommended.

 Many believe plastic surgery is solely about appearance. What some may not realize is that some procedures spark much more than just a physical change. Dr. O explains, “People come to us with an area that has concerned them, usually for years. While we see an improvement in one’s appearance after a procedure, we also see an improvement in their self confidence and their self esteem,” says Dr. Sonny O of Dr. Sonny O Plastic Surgery. A recent article from Australia examines the correlation between plastic surgery and self confidence. It states, “It’s no secret that plastic surgery has the ability to make a profound impact on the lives of patients... plastic surgery is undoubtedly one of the most impactful and commonplace disciplines within the modern medical field.” These impacts on a patient often occur inside and out. The article continues, “Whereas in the past appearance-altering procedures might have been seen as a narcissistic luxury, they are now widely accepted as perfectly normal and are encouraged as a means of living a better, more fulfilled life.” Helping patients feel beautiful both inside and out for 14 years, Dr. Sonny O practices facial and body cosmetic surgery in the Charleston area. After thousands of unique procedures involving the latest techniques in facial and neck rejuvenation, Dr. Sonny O is a nationally trusted plastic surgeon in facial artistry. He states, “People come to us with an area that has concerned them, usually for years. Once they address that concern with plastic surgery, patients seem happier and lighter. They hold their heads a little higher because they feel better about their appearance and therefore are more confident. This is the most rewarding part of the job!” Dr. Sonny O is committed to uncovering each patient’s natural beauty. Located in Mt. Pleasant South Carolina, Dr. Sonny O Plastic Surgery provides face, body and breast rejuvenation with a full range of surgical and non-surgical solutions. Personalized consultations and customized plans are designed for each patient with Dr. Sonny O.
To schedule an appointment, www.drsonnyo.com.  The patients have spoken and they want natural looking results in 2019. In a recent article from Plastic Surgery Practice, many physicians highlighted natural results as a trend for the upcoming year. Dr. O agrees and has helped patients in the past achieve natural results through various procedures. Some of those include Timeless Lift, FaceTite and more. Timeless LiftThe Timeless Face Lift is a neck lift that provides an enhancement and tightening of the skin for a more youthful appearance with less anesthesia and recovery time required. With local anesthesia only, Dr. O uses an artistic eye to lift critical areas affected by aging such as the neck, eyes and brow. Recognizing that less can sometimes be more, the Timeless Face Lift is sometimes referred to as a mini lift that refreshes features and can help diminish signs of aging. Timeless Lift can erase lines and wrinkles, redefine your neck and jaw line, and reduce loose skin with natural looking results. facetiteOne non surgical procedure that can help achieve natural looking results without much downtime is FaceTite. Says Dr. O, “This is the latest technology and it targets lower face and neck region. The recovery is very quick. The patients get good noticeable results.” FaceTite can redefine the jawline and delivers results previously only achieved through more extensive excisional surgical procedures. Powered by Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis, FaceTite delivers rapid and uniform heating of the entire soft tissue matrix to eliminate fat and tighten up loose skin. Perfect for patients 40 and up, the procedure takes less than one hour and is performed under local anesthesia sometimes with oral medication so patients remain comfortable. After the procedure, patients see immediate result with continued gradual improvement as new collagen is produced. product: skinceuticals |

Often Dr. Sonny O combines products like these with surgical and nonsurgical treatment options to help skin stay refreshed. He customizes to each patient. For Laura, he suggested the Timeless Glow. This is a comprehensive line of procedures and products that can help minimize the look of wrinkles by utilizing facial laser skin resurfacing combined with Dyport or Botox® Cosmetic with fillers such as Restylane Silk and Refyne.
Laura began with 6 IPLs (photofacials) on her face. An IPL is a non-ablative intense pulse light that has helped many women improve the appearance of their skin. The major benefit is that it is a completely non-invasive procedure, and patients experience zero to minimal down time while still achieving impressive results for visible skin rejuvenation.
In addition to photofacials, Dr. O suggested the injectible Dysport for Laura for lines on her glabella and forehead. Dr. Sonny O has been utilizing injectables like Dysport and Botox to help revitalize the faces of women and men for more than a decade. This was combined with Restylane Lyft for her cheeks and Restylane Silk and Refyne for her lips to rejuvenate areas that had volume loss and add instant hydration.
Laura’s Timeless Beauty is both inside and out. She often helps patients feel their best. To schedule a customized consult, purchase products, or schedule the procedures like the Timeless Glow, contact Dr. Sonny O at 843-388-4939 or schedule here.

Dr. Sonny O, a well-regarded plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience, shares the top treatments and surgeries trending in 2018. Here are his top five:
RadioFrequency (RF) Technology for Minimally Invasive Face and Body Results without the Scars
“For those patients who do not want to have surgery, but still want to address facial sagging and aging as well as trouble spots on the body such as the abdomen, knees, arms, and thighs, RF treatments are a wonderful option." states Dr. O. In particularly for women in their 40s and 50s with signs of aging that are less advanced. FaceTite is a radiofrequency procedure that is non-surgical and has no scars. BodyTite is a radiofrequency procedure that is also non-surgical. It can be combined with liposuction to enhance results. Both treatments increase collagen production over time.
Many women won’t wear sleeveless tops or skirts; BodyTite RF treatment is the perfect treatment to address these concerns. FaceTite RF is a better alternative than Kybella for those with the double chin as it removes the fat and tightens loose skin at the same time in one treatment. These treatments are giving women the confidence to uncover their knees and arms and take the perfect selfie.”
Pairing Laser with other Treatments
to Enhance Results
“We’re seeing a lot more lasers and treatments being used together for a unique, signature outcome, such as our Timeless Glow. We combine Intense Pulsed Light and injectables to get a noticeably refreshed result. For the Timeless Lift, we often combine laser resurfacing in the lip region and other challenging areas that show aging with our mini lift. How the doctor you choose addresses your areas of concern by combining different modalities is more important than just whether they have the laser technology. In a consultation we consider what the patient needs and then combine treatments to get there in a beautiful, natural way.”
Nonsurgical and
minimally invasive treatments
“As advances in plastic surgery continue, more and better nonsurgical options also grow in popularity. New and improved technologies are developed to refresh, tighten, lift, erase, and rejuvenate the skin. From body sculpting and fat melting with our SculpSure laser technology to providing liquid lifts by combining fillers and injectables, innovations in noninvasive procedures for our patients will continue be a priority for my practice.”
Body surgery on the rise
“Plastic surgery, especially breast and body contouring procedures, are the best way to achieve dramatic results. While noninvasive options provide results, they remain incremental and less significant than surgical alternatives.
We are seeing more interest in abdominoplasty and liposuction than ever. Combining treatments such as the new BodyTite RF procedure with liposuction enable me to achieve signature results for many patients. The consultation is a critical place to begin to see what is best for each patient.”

Non-surgical facelifts, the liquid lift
“Fillers can be used to subtly improve the shape of the nose, decrease troughs that age the eyes and address a myriad of imperfections concerning to patients. A mixture of fillers and injectables enable a well-trained facial plastic surgeon to create an overall refreshed and natural look – without surgery. Of course, results need to be maintained and entrusting your facial outcome to a subspecialty trained facial surgeon is recommended.”
Patient testimonial - unfiltered IPl Story
Ah, youth. Sun tanning on the roof with baby oil. Baking in tanning beds. Does anyone remember that? My skin does. It remembers it with pigmentation and wrinkles. That cute spray of freckles across my face morphed into ugly sun spots. My teenage self would never have walked around with my nose white with zinc. My headed to 50 soon self is left with redness and newfound sympathy for Rudolph. The pesky wrinkles appear in silent judgement of the hats not worn and the driver side of my face not shielded. This year I decided not to let my juvenile sun exposure mistakes get the better of my current, savvier skin care routine. Intense Pulse Light (IPL) to the rescue.
What is an IPL or Photofacial?
Cutting through the noise of many unproven anti-aging treatments, IPL has a proven track record for the following:
In addition, the efficacy of IPL in the treatment of acne grades 1-4 showed a 49.19% reduction after 4 sessions (1). Often referred to as IPL Photofacial or Fotofacial, intense pulse light treatment is a 30-minute procedure in which intense pulses of light are used to penetrate deep into the skin. IPL™ photorejuvenation then causes collagen and blood vessels below the epidermis to constrict, reducing redness and age lines.
The procedure involves minimal discomfort, while the redness and swelling that sometimes occur after treatment disappear shortly. Translation. It hurts like heck for a short, tolerable period of time. Grin and bear it applies. Most benefits of a photofacial/ fotofacial occur gradually in the weeks following treatment. For even greater cosmetic enhancement, patients combine the IPL with injectables. Dr. Sonny O, an experienced plastic surgeon, performs injections. Sandy Clay, LPN, a 20-year veteran of lasers and IPL treatments, performs the IPL. The combination is called Timeless Glow.

Check out my before and afters. This is just after 3. I’ll send the after 4th one soon. The 4th is where I saw the biggest collagen uptick. Treatment 1 & 2 I saw the most skin toning, and spots and redness reduction. Treatment 3 was the easiest with the least swelling. I saw more of a radiance effect with that treatment. However, that’s when Sandy decided to turn the level up on me a little more for the 4th! Holy collagen production.
IPL in Laymen's Terms
- It is an affordable option that achieved noticeable results. Use “ Friends” to receive the $99.00 IPL.
- You should never, never do IPL unless the provider has experience. Sandy does. It means she uses the correct level matched to your skin. It also means she is fast and effective. During the treatment you will appreciate the fast part – later, the effective aspect. View the video attached to meet Sandy and see her walk through the treatment with a patient.
- It is not a laser. Unlike a laser which emits one specific wavelength of light, IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light onto the skin’s surface to correct a wider area of damaged skin cells with each pulse.
- It takes more than one treatment. Buying a package of three or four is smart. IPL treatments are typically conducted as a series of treatments at intervals, and the skin begins to take on a more youthful and clear appearance with each session. How many treatments are required to achieve the desired results will vary for each patient’s initial level of skin damage. Red headed (before the grey came) and freckle faced, I needed 4 treatments. **My pics above are only after 3. I am planning on three more to keep stimulating the collagen and evening my skin tone. A few stubborn spots need another jolt.
- Downtime is minimal if at all. After my first treatment I went to Thanksgiving dinner with a large group. The IPL brings the dark spots to the surface creating a “peppering” effect. It is oddly satisfying to see the sun damage rise to the surface and, over the course of two weeks, fall off in the sink. My first treatment had the most peppering. My 4th treatment has the most visible collagen production. I called Kylene, the nurse manager, and said, “I have these small swollen places almost like bad bug bites this time, is that normal?” She responded enthusiastically. “That’s great – that means you are stimulating Collagen!” Well, yay! Bring on the swelling. Those little swollen pockets went down in a day. I could see the difference in the areas that responded.
- It hurts. Yep. It does. Sandy is fast. It hurts so good though. Find your happy place and go there. And, I’m buying three more. It’s doable.
- Less than an hour in and out. If you combine with injectables (Timeless Glow), get an even better result! Dr. Sonny O does the injections. I like that it’s the doctor and he looks at the face as a whole result – versus just spot treatment. Natural results. He does lean toward using a lot, so specify if the units are over your comfort level. I did. Scheduling can be worked out with the staff as injectables and IPL are done at different times, not simultaneously.
- Protect yourself afterwards. IPL can be done on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, shoulders and more. Anywhere you chose to attack sun damage and aging with intense pulse light should be protected by sunscreen following. I keep a hat in the car now and always include sunscreen on my face before starting the day. Reapply frequently if doing an outdoor activity. Talk to Laura, Dr. Sonny O's skincare concierge, about some good sunscreen options. It’s time to invest in a good product. Remember, you’re all grown up now. Discounts apply.
- Bank it. Want the discount, but aren’t ready to do the procedure. Buy it and bank if for later.
IPL procedures are proven safe and effective. No anesthetic is required. Sandy’s sessions include a very nice cool down to calm the skin. In many cases, Photofacials offer near-instant results. You can customize the treatment to your specific skin problems and treat larger areas of skin simultaneously as desired. Thank you Hunter Kerrison for sharing your story.
