There are some things you can compromise on, but your plastic surgeon isn’t one of them. A dermatologist in California was recently reprimanded for injecting non-FDA approved Botulinum toxin into ten patients. The doctor and nearly a hundred colleagues tried to save money by buying the black market Botox without realizing it wasn’t approved for use in patients.
These findings highlight how important it is to find a reputable, board-certified plastic surgeon. If you live in the Seatte area and are interested in Botox or other cosmetic procedures, Dr. Gottlieb is a well-respected surgeon with extensive experience.

In the past, people who wanted to rid their faces of unsightly wrinkles had to commit to cosmetic surgery. But with the advent of Botox by Allergan, they have the option of banishing signs of aging with just a few injections. And people are flocking to this less costly and less invasive option in droves. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, surgeons performed 99,196 facelifts in the United States in 1997 while Botox injections lagged behind at 65,157. But last year, facelift surgeries had increased slightly to 138,153 while Botox injections skyrocketed to nearly 2.8 million.
Like many plastic surgeons, Dr. Jourdan Gottlieb does a lot of Botox injections for those in the Seattle area who want to reduce their facial wrinkles.

What is ArteFill?
ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable injectable filler for the correction of wrinkles known as smile lines. It contains 20% tiny round and smooth particles (PMMA microspheres) and 80% purified bovine collagen gel with 0.3% lidocaine, an anesthetic.
How does ArteFill work?
ArteFill is a dual-acting injectable wrinkle filler. First, ArteFill visibly corrects the wrinkle. Then the microspheres provide the permanent support your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction.
How is ArteFill injected?
ArteFill is injected underneath the wrinkle, just above the skin’s fat layer. ArteFill provides the soft, supportive foundation that your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction.
How is ArteFill different from temporary dermal fillers?
All temporary fillers are eventually absorbed by the body. That’s why they require frequent repeat injections. ArteFill is different. The unique microspheres in ArteFill are not absorbed by the body. These microspheres provide the permanent support your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction. Now, with ArteFill, you can get the lasting wrinkle correction you want in just one or two treatments. Where the results of temporary fillers end, the long-lasting benefits of ArteFill continue.
