Belotero

The PPSD Approach

Although administering injectables may seem simple to some, it actually requires a high degree of accuracy, artistry and experience in order to achieve natural-looking results. At PPSD, our NC Belotero physicians possess the elite skill and training necessary to gracefully accent your strengths while diminishing flaws. With locations in Gastonia, Belmont, Hickory, and other surrounding cities, PPSD is one of the largest integrated plastic surgery and dermatology practices in the nation. Yet, our commitment to outstanding skin care demands that we offer the same individualized attention you would find at a small, specialized boutique.

Treatment begins with a private consultation in one of our beautiful office suites where your doctor will walk you through the procedure from start to finish. He or she will review your medical history and prior procedures, and ask about your goals for your appearance.

Examining before and after photos together will help to align expectations for both surgeon and patient. This is also an excellent time to discuss any other procedures you may be interested in, as the doctor can easily administer additional dermal fillers as part of a more comprehensive anti-aging makeover.
