First of all, it just goes to show that my mommy was right – I am special!
Actually, it is great to see the continued attention that non surgical facial sculpting is receiving.
These procedures have been adoopted faster than I even expected back in the day (6 years ago) when it was all getting started.
Fillers and Botox have redefined the relationship that the average person has with the aesthetic field.
The last six years have seen a non surgical revolution and I look forward to all the new stuff we have yet to discover!

Hi Dr. Rivkin.
I too read some of the risks of using artefill. I have heard that since aretefill is fairly new, some doctors will not use it until they can see the long term effects (5-10 years down the line).
I have heard some people having great results with you with the semi-permanent fillers for their non surgical nose job. I had a rhinoplasty done, and although I like my results, there are a few minor changes I would like to make in the areas close to the tip. I as considering artefill to achieve permanent results.
Just a few questions:
Do you still use artefill for the non surgical nose job?
Over how many patients have you used aretefill on for the non surgical nose job?
Are they really permanent, or only permanent for up to 5-10 years. (If they do last only 5-10 years.. that means they do eventually dissolve correct?)
Will aretefill migrate?
If I don’t like the result, what can be done to remove/correct this?
What is the price range for this procedure?
Thank you in advance for your help!
hi,
yes, i use artefill with a great success rate for the non surgical nose job procedure. the only trouble is that people have to come in for multiple touch up procedure, as the artefill does tend to settle down after the injection.
i have done about 100 artefill nose procedures and everyhting has gone really well – the only frustration has been the multiple (3 to 5) touch ups needed before permanent results are achieved.
the material does not dissolve, so the results should really be permanent. i do not think that it is a 5 year procedure, but i can’t tell you for sure that you would not need a small touch up after a few years. however, i have not had to do these long term touch ups and i’ve been using artefill for 3 years now.
artefill will not migrate.
$2000 – no charge for touch ups.
hope that helps,

Hi Dr. Rivkin,
I was wondering, after having an ArteFill injection, are you prevented from doing anything you did before the ArteFill injection?
More Specifically: Can you work out and excerise intensly?
Can you take any medications or pills such as Advil, Tylenol, Zyrtec (I take Zyrtec at least once a month).
Thank You
Hi,
Nope, you can do anything you want!
Afterwards, I wouldn’t take Aspirin or Ibuprofen for a couple of days. Also, I wouldn’t manipulate the area very much for a few days, but you can touch it and wash your face – that’s all okay. Keeping the area clean is important for the first day or two especially.
Hope that helps
