Dr. Joel Aronowitz: I'm so such a baby. I have feelings. Bridget called me sensitive Sally the other day. Was it Sally or Sophie?”
Bridget: “Sally and I don't understand why you keep bringing it up.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “I'm just saying.”
Bridget: “Are you sensitive about it?”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “I'm kind of proud.”
Bridget: “Are you sensitive about it? About being sensitive? I mean, I asked if I needed to apologize.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “You don't have to apologize for anything.”
Bridget: “No, I feel bad.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “You don't look like you feel bad.”
Bridget: “Well, I'm sorry if I like offended you when I called you sensitive Sally.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “It's just something that we need to discuss, you know? And you know, there's only one way you could ever offend me. Yes, but we're not discussing that. I feel like this video has gone really off the tracks. Off the rails. Okay. So everybody's been home a lot lately. And when you're at home, basically, the only thing you do is what you were just doing is like staring at your phone and either working on your phone, working on the computer. And when you work on the computer, your eyebrows come together like that. And you get this deep line here, which...”
Bridget: “You know what? I have to say something. Mine just never goes away.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “Okay.”
Bridget: “You're... Well, it does... That's so annoying.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “When we inject the neurotoxin directly into the corrugator muscle, it goes away.”
Bridget: “Yeah, but mine drinks it.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “Yes, it does. It makes your expensive employee. So one thing you may want to do now that we're all coming out quarantine here is to consider having a little Botox. The other thing the Botox will do is if you can't do this, it's hard to be as tense. And as you relax that muscle and you can't tense it up, you'll actually feel more relaxed. So I think we should give you Botox. Like why don't you get it? I have had Botox. I'm sure. But like, why don't we do it? Like that is like... Bridget... I honestly kind of can't even imagine you without some lines on your forehead. Yeah. You know, you know that they did a contest looking for the world's worst patient. And I won. We should do... What if the Botox goes, you know, into my diaphragm and I can't breathe?”
Bridget: “You're gonna be okay. Yes. Okay.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “Have you ever done this before?”
Bridget: “Yes. So today we have a patient. Dr. Aronowitz is going to get Botox. Now he tells me he's gotten it one time. How did it feel? Did you like how it looked? I never look at myself. All right. Not obvious. Good. Start rolling. This is for cold. I'm gonna prep. Oh geez. This thing is cold. Dr. A, tell your fans what you're doing.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “I'm using a little chill roller here because if you chill the tissue, it anesthetizes. That means it makes it not hurt.”
Bridget: “You're gonna be fine. I'm just gonna give you a little bit. How long does it take to work?”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “It'll take about five to seven days to really take full effect. Are you doing this because you think I'm not bleeding?”
Bridget: “No, I'm doing this because I think it'll relieve some tension like to life.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “All right.”
Bridget: “You just want your... No, you gotta do a little bit here. Where? Like the whole forehead. I would not let anybody but you do this. I know. All right. Can you get your arm up again? I don't talk like this to normal patients. And I'm definitely not a normal... Rest your head back. Chin down. Chin down. That's good. Okay. Make an angry face and furrow. Oh boy. All right. Relax. It's hard to get angry. See? It didn't even hurt.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “I didn't feel a thing actually.”
Bridget: “Really?”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “I didn't. Up there. It's not as cold. You're doing great. Have you injected yet?”
Bridget: “Yes. These are getting those pesky 11 lines.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “Yeah. I'm a baby. You know I'm a baby. I'm just so excited about this.”
Bridget: “I won't do your whole forehead because you can't have no lines.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “You're killing me.”
Bridget: “You're fine. All right. One more. Where?”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “One more where?”
Bridget: “Let's do a little up here.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “Am I bleeding?”
Bridget: “No.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “You know what? You're so good. I don't feel a thing actually.”
Bridget: “Yeah. Because I'm gentle. Do you know what it is? I think to not make it hurt, it's the speed at which you go into the person's forehead. I'm delicate. Dainty. You know? All right. One more. You're so patient. Does it hurt? Did you have lunch? Yeah. Did you?”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “A little bit.”
Bridget: “I just want to make sure you're not going to get hypoglycemic. In the afternoon you get hypoglycemic.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “What if my wife doesn't recognize me? Botox. Botox and there are other brands of botulism toxin. It's a drug that disconnects the nerve from the muscle so it paralyzes muscle temporarily. After three or four months the receptors are replaced so the effect of the drug wears off and it comes as this little vial with just a minute amount of botox so it's not enough to really hurt somebody like paralyze them. It's enough to only paralyze small areas and it's good for the nasal glabella, these frown lines, the forehead lines that are coming from the muscle elevating, contracting all the time, these little crow's feet lines that we get. Some PAs get a little line here on their nose, on the side of their nose when they crunch like that and smile. I'm not saying which PAs but there are PAs that that happens to and that little nasalis muscle can be paralyzed with botox. Botox is a wonderful drug when used properly, very safe and it really does something that almost no other treatment can do. If you're thinking about trying it, it's a good way to put your toe in the water in terms of plastic surgery It's very safe and highly effective, not that expensive and if you don't like it, it's fine because it wears off after just three or four months. So if you're thinking about trying it, I'd say do like I did and give it a whirl. Come over here. Monica, there are a lot of uses of botox besides like Bridget just gave me a little bit here in my bleeding. No you're not. Okay. And there are a lot of uses of botox besides just the lines on your forehead. There are lines here, there are lines on the nose, even the chin. There are the platysmal. Do you have platysmal bands? Can you do this? I do.”
Monica: “No.”
Dr. Joel Aronowitz: “Yeah. Bridget has one of everything. There are other uses. For example, if somebody has a very anal fissure, which is a tear and the muscle gets very, very tight, you can use botox to loosen that muscle up so that that fissure can heal and the patient can be comfortable going to the bathroom. You can use it for people that have an esophagus that's too tight. Sometimes a baby has an esophagus that's too tight. Sometimes people have a spasm of the muscle. There's a spasm called torticollis where the muscle here gets too tight and causes the neck to be pulled in one direction and you can use it to paralyze that muscle. Some women who have breast reconstruction, can they turn you around and show your back? So this this muscle here is a big flat muscle like the pectoralis except it's on the it's on the back side not on the front side. When we bring that around the front it contracts when you're lifting your arm and stuff and that doesn't look right with breast reconstruction. You can use it to paralyze that muscle. So there's a lot of places where it's useful to paralyze muscle. Do you know that? No, I know. I think you probably knew. You know a lot. So thank you Monica for helping. So Botox and filler, two parts of the same sort of injectable pool things that we can use for non-surgical improvements.
Totally different though. Botox paralyzes muscle and causes the wrinkle to flatten out because we paralyze the muscle. Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane etc. Fillers fill in areas that are depressed, build up areas where we've lost fat through aging or injury and that's a whole separate thing. So fillers on the one side and Botox on the other side. All good ways to non-surgically improve the face. And the third one is all kinds of facial treatments on the surface like lasers and IPL, micro-needling, dermabrasion, that sort of thing and laser treatment on the face. So that's a whole other subject that we'll take up some other time. So I hope you learned a little something, enjoyed it and we'll see you later directly from Aronowitzland.”
