The Madison and Milwaukee area’s Parkins Plastic Surgery team recommends this injectable treatment for patients who are bothered by expression wrinkles such as crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines. Unlike topical skincare products, BOTOX® works directly on the wrinkle-causing muscles. How does it work? The injectable contains a diluted neurotoxin that disrupts messages from the nerves so that specific facial muscles can’t contract. The skin on the face appears smoother and the patient looks […]

Aging isn’t a bad thing, it’s the most natural process we go through. For many people, we begin to lose skin elasticity and collagen in our mid 20’s-early 30’s.

Excess sugar, […]

Cosmetic surgery isn’t a decision to be made lightly, and there are certain steps you will need to take before you undergo tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, or any other surgical procedure. One of the questions we get asked a lot at Parkins Plastic Surgery is, “What BMI should I be for plastic surgery?” Our Milwaukee-area team believes that patients should educate themselves as much as possible on all of the aspects of the procedure they are considering, and that includes learning about BMI, which stands for body mass index.
