Botox® and Fillers Not Enough Anymore? When to Consider Plastic Surgery

A mature woman holds her wrinkled forehead, contemplating plastic surgery Many patients begin their aesthetic journey with nonsurgical treatments like fillers and Botox®, also known as “tweakments.” These options work beautifully to soften lines, restore subtle volume, and refresh the face without downtime.

But over time, some people notice that injectables don’t deliver the same level of improvement they once did. When that happens, it may be time to explore more comprehensive, longer-lasting surgical solutions.

In Aventura, Dr. Baotram Tran works closely with each patient to understand their goals and help them decide whether continuing injectables or transitioning to surgery will yield the best outcome. With more than 15 years of experience and double board certification, she believes in open, honest conversations so you can make the most informed decision.

Why Injectables Eventually Reach Their Limit

Fillers and Botox work extremely well for certain signs of aging, especially early on. They can smooth fine lines, restore small areas of lost volume, and create subtle lifting effects.

But as facial tissues change more deeply with age, injectables might not be strong enough to address issues like:

  • Sagging skin along the jawline
  • Deep nasolabial folds
  • Prominent marionette lines
  • Drooping brows
  • Loose or hooded upper eyelids
  • Heavy, sagging neck skin

Injectables can temporarily camouflage these concerns, but they can’t tighten skin or reposition deeper facial structures.

When Plastic Surgery Makes a Meaningful Difference

For patients who want more dramatic, longer-lasting rejuvenation, facial plastic surgery offers results that injectables cannot achieve.

facelift can tighten deeper tissues, refine the jawline, and restore a more youthful contour that looks natural, not “filled.” Dr. Tran’s approach focuses on subtlety and balance, addressing signs of aging without changing your facial character.

brow lift may be the right choice if you’re noticing heaviness in the forehead or a tired-looking expression that Botox can’t correct.

For concerns around the eyes, such as drooping or undereye bags, eyelid surgery can remove or reposition excess skin and fat, brightening and opening the eye area in a way injectables can’t replicate. Dr. Tran is also known for her beautiful, natural-looking Asian eyelid surgery results, carefully tailored to each individual’s anatomy and desired crease style.

Dr. Tran takes time to evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your long-term goals, and talk about surgery timing. Our patients often say they appreciate her balanced approach. Dr. Tran never pushes surgery, but she’s here to support you and help you decide whether it’s the right choice.
