Botox & Dermal Fillers

Adam Schaffner MD Plastic Surgery NYC administers a full range of neuromodulator and dermal filler injectable treatments for facial rejuvenation without surgery. Neuromodulator options include BOTOX, Dysport, XEOMIN, Jeuveau, and Letybo for softening dynamic expression lines across the forehead, glabellar complex, and crow's feet. Dermal filler options span the full Juvéderm and Restylane families, as well as Bellafill, BELOTERO, Radiesse, Revanesse Versa, and Sculptra, addressing volume loss in the cheeks, lips, perioral area, and jawline. Treatments are performed by or under the direct oversight of Dr. Schaffner in his Midtown Manhattan office.

Neuromodulator and dermal filler injectable treatments at Adam Schaffner MD Plastic Surgery NYC are offered as both standalone treatments and as adjuncts to surgical procedures, providing a full spectrum of non-surgical facial rejuvenation options from one of New York City's most credentialed plastic surgery practices. The injectable neuromodulator portfolio includes five FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A formulations: BOTOX Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), XEOMIN (incobotulinumtoxinA), Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs), and Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg). Each agent works by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, preventing the targeted facial muscle from contracting fully and allowing the overlying skin lines — etched by years of repetitive expression — to soften. Primary treatment zones include the frontalis muscle for horizontal forehead lines, the corrugator and procerus for glabellar frown lines, and the orbicularis oculi for crow's feet. Additional applications include the masseters for jaw slimming, the brow depressors for a chemical brow lift, the platysmal bands for neck rejuvenation (Nefertiti lift), and the lip border for a subtle lip flip. The dermal filler portfolio spans the spectrum of hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate formulations. Juvéderm VOLUMA and Restylane Lyft provide structural support for cheek volume restoration; VOLURE, Defyne, and Refyne address nasolabial folds and marionette lines with natural-feeling flex; VOLBELLA, Restylane Silk, and Restylane Kysse provide precise lip definition and hydration. Radiesse, a calcium hydroxylapatite filler, is used for deeper structural filling and collagen stimulation. Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is a biostimulator rather than a volumiser — it works over a series of sessions to gradually increase collagen density across the face, restoring a more youthful skin thickness and firmness rather than immediate volume. Bellafill contains PMMA microspheres that provide both immediate correction and a permanent scaffold for ongoing collagen support. Kybella (deoxycholic acid), while technically not a filler, is also available for non-surgical reduction of submental fat. All injectables at the Manhattan practice are administered in the context of a thorough facial assessment, with injection planning guided by Dr. Schaffner's surgical understanding of facial anatomy, proportions, and the vectored changes of ageing.
