ANGELA WILLIAMS                                         (VOICE-OVER)

 

SUPER:   Dallas   :02-07                                     With beautiful teeth, Angela Williams

                                                                                                wants to minimize what she calls

a gummy smile by making her lips

                                                                                                fuller.

 

SUPER:   Angela Williams    :12-17                                ("The top lip, we'll give it more volume

                     Restalyne Patient                                            so I won't see as much gum. So I'm hoping

                                                                                                that's what we can do.")

 

MARINA LANTSMAN                                     Marina Lantsman has a different problem.

She hopes to reduce vertical lines of aging by enlarging her upper lip.

                                                                                               

SUPER:   Marina Lantsman  :26-31   ("The upper lip lines, that's actually my

                     Restalyne Patient                                            concern. I want to reduce the lines around

                                                                                                my lips.")

 

INJECTIONS                                                                         Both women are undergoing

                                                                                                injections of Restylane, a new

                                                                                                filler material that has replaced the

once popular collagen.

 

SUPER:   Dr. Kevin McBride                             ("Restylane is hyaluronic acid, which

                        Oral Surgeon  :43-48                    sounds fancy but it's the same material

                                                                                                or chemical that's in our bodies.  It's

                                                                                                sort of like a lubricant and a glue that's

                                                                                                throughout all the tissues that helps hold

                                                                                                the tissue together.")

 

 

 

TWO-SHOT                                                                          Dr. Kevin McBride is an oral

                                                                                                and maxillofacial surgeon who

                                                                                                performs many cosmetic

                                                                                                procedures including lip enhancement.

 

DR. MCBRIDE                                                      ("It's a plumping agent, a filler.  It will

                                                                                                fill in lines and depressions.")

                                                                                               

MORE INJECTIONS                                                            While Restylane tends to last longer

                                                                                                than collagen, its effects are still temporary.

 

DR. MCBRIDGE                                                   ("You'll get nine months or maybe more

                                                                                                from Restylane.")

 

ANGELA WILLIAMS                                         ("It was a lot easier than I expected.")

 

ON CAMERA                                                                       (STAND-UP CLOSE)

 

SUPER:  Dr. Linda Niessen  1:25-1:30              Restylane costs about 500 dollars

                Baylor College of Dentistry                                for each treatment and lasts six to

                                                                                                nine months.

                                                                                                And you should ask for an anesthetic

                                                                                                to make the procedure less painful.

                                                                                                For Baylor College of Dentistry,
