PERFECT mask for at home spa day
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients - Mix the cinnamon, brown sugar and coffee grounds in a small bowl.
Step 2: Add the Pumpkin - Slowly blend the tablespoon of pumpkin into the mixture. Step 3: Add the Honey - Adding the honey and pumpkin last will ensure there aren’t clumps of dry ingredients. Step 4: Stir - Blend the ingredients until the cinnamon, coffee and brown sugar have all made contact with the pumpkin and honey. Step 5: The Spoon Test - For a spa-day style mask, your mask should hold up on a spoon. Tip: For a quick, exfoliating scrub that you can use daily, add an extra tablespoon of pumpkin puree and replace the teaspoon of cinnamon with a half a teaspoon of yogurt (dry skin) or apple cider vinegar (oily skin). Step 6: Apply Mask - Use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to apply a thin layer of the mask to your face. Wait 10–20 minutes or until the mask starts to dry–you’ll feel it tighten. Step 7: Rinse- Splash water onto face, gently exfoliating as you rinse. Wipe off any remaining mask residue with a warm, damp cloth. Share your pictures on Social Media with your favorite mask and be entered to win a complimentary dermaplane session.

 Dr. Sonny O Plastic Surgery recommends the new advancement, InstaLift, for the mid face lift. Not a traditional lift surgery nor a noninvasive short term technique such as injectables, the InstaLift is a new type of procedure that provides patient an intermediate alternative to facelift surgery for the midface. Completing the picture, the new InstaLift provides excellent outcomes for middle face aging. Facial aging reflects the cumulative effects of time on the skin, soft tissues, and deep structural components of the face. Skin textural changes and loss of facial volume can flatten and age the face over time. Why does this occur? The combined effects of gravity, progressive bone resorption, decreased tissue elasticity, and redistribution of subcutaneous fullness create a flattening of youthful features in the mid face area. When assessing the best treatment for patients, Dr. O divides the face into three parts:
The midface is an important factor in facial aesthetics because perceptions of facial attractiveness are largely founded on the synergy of the eyes, nose, lips, and cheek bones (central facial triangle). The InstaLift is a minimally invasive treatment that restores a youthful 3-dimensional mid face. The facial rejuvenation is a result of improved threadlift techniques.
Learn more about how the InstaLift works, expected outcomes and who is a candidate. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Sonny O to determine what facial aging solution is best for you.
 When 58 year old Ann Sports looked in the mirror, she saw what she calls a “tired” face looking back. She describes, “I woke up in the morning and I saw baggy eyes and a turkey neck.” After recently losing weight, she decided to address her concerns. She says, “I feel healthier than I ever have before, I want my face to look as good as I feel.” Some of the first signs of aging appear in the face and eyes. Ann’s two sister-in-laws had experienced the same aging effects and both had turned to Dr. Sonny O for help. She explains, “They were both pleased with the procedures. The staff has always been very helpful, and Dr. O is really great. I shared my concerns with Dr. O and he recommended the Timeless Lift and Timeless Eye procedure.” The Timeless Face Lift 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.
As for her baggy eyes, Dr. O suggested the Timeless Eye Procedure. He explains, “As we age, the muscles and tissues that support your eyes weaken, skin loses its elasticity, and in general you just look tired. The goal of this type of procedure is to help restore a more youthful and rested appearance.”
Ann has advice for anyone wanting to look and feel years younger, “I would tell anyone that wanted to get these procedures done to come see Dr. Sonny O. Just like my sisters and myself, you will be pleased with your results.” Dr. Sonny O has practiced facial and body cosmetic surgery for more than 18 years. After performing 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 is committed to uncovering each patient’s natural beauty. For more information: Schedule Your Consult Today  An impending high school reunion had one recent patient of Dr. Sonny O looking in the mirror and not happy with her reflection.

This is exactly what Tracy was looking for, “I could hold my neck back and see it was taking years off of my face. Dr. Sonny O and the Timeless Lift came highly recommended by two people.” The Timeless Face Lift 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. The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Sonny O and his team. Tracy explains, “My first consultation was very thorough. I met with several people. They explained the procedure. I trusted Dr. O. I liked what he said, and what he showed me.”  
As far as the high school reunion, Tracy can’t wait to see her former classmates. “I am getting ready to go to the reunion and I am so looking forward to this. I am so thrilled with the results.” Specializing in facial plastic surgery procedures, Dr. Sonny O is board certified in plastic surgery and leads the market locally and nationally in experience.

The lift procedure is customized to address the patient’s concerns.” Tracy agrees, “I am so thrilled with the results. After the procedure my husband walked in the room and tears came to his eyes and he told me, ‘honey you look exactly like you did when I first laid eyes on you.’”

Enjoy free area of dysport when 2 or more fillers are purchased by 3/1/2019
Smooth 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 lifts
Wrinkle-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,”
says Dr. Sonny O of Timeless You Dr. Sonny o Plastic Surgery.
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 glow
A 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!”

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 Lift
The 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.
facetite
One 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
h.a. intensifier
One product that Dr. O’s team recommends to help enhance natural beauty is the SkinCeuticals H.A.Intensifier. In some instances, it not only enhances but replaces volume loss. Kylene explains, “H.A. Intensifier increases hyaluronic acid by 30%. This is the same ingredient found in fillers. You start losing this naturally in your 20's and by your 50's it is gone. This product is a great way to replenish it.” The same ingredient found in fillers, this product topically enhances what the fillers provided by Dr. O address internally.
