Migraine sufferers the world over have longed for the day when a more permanent cure would come along. Aside from pain medication, few solutions have ever been offered. That is, until now. What if along with removing and preventing wrinkles through popular Botox or Brow Lift procedures, they could also offer a more long term solution to preventing migraines? Supporters claim this can be done by removing or paralyzing the glabellar muscles between the eyebrows- something commonly done in Brow lift and Botox treatments.
Patients who’d previously experienced Migraines and then received Botox injections for its aesthetic value were among the first to start questioning the connection between the two when they noticed their Migraines had ceased to exist. As this is still a relatively new discovery, there are more studies and tests to be done to understand the extent of impact this may have for Migraine sufferers.

There are many reasons men and women come in to see Dr. Jones. A common complaint is dissatisfaction with the nose. There are both functional and aesthetic reasons for people to be unhappy with their noses and Dr. Jones can address both through St. Louis Rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty, also called Nose Surgery, is a procedure to improve the nose. For some patients the complaint is chiefly aesthetic- dissatisfaction with the overall size of the nose, or with the tip of the nose, or with the profile of the nose due to bumps or indentations, or dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the nostrils. In other patients the complaint may be purely functional- dissatisfaction with the nose due to difficulty breathing from conditions such as deviated septum. In a lot of patients it’s a combination of both aesthetic and functional goals which need to be improved to create the ideal results.
Whether your goals are aesthetic, functional, reconstructive or some combination thereof, we invite you to contact our office and schedule a consultation with board certified, St.Louis-area plastic surgeon Dr. Jones.
There are many factors which can lead to a person becoming dissatisfied with their mid-section. For example, the effects of weight loss, pregnancy, genetics, and aging can all wreak their havoc on the abdominal region, even the abdominal muscles themselves. Having loose or separated abdominal muscles creates a distended abdomen that can not be improved through diet or exercise alone. The same thing applies to having loose, hanging skin due to the after effects of dramatic weight loss or pregnancies. Dr. Timothy Jones has helped many people improve their mid-section through St. Louis Abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty, also known as a Tummy Tuck, is a procedure which removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles. There are a few different types of Tummy Tucks which range in severity depending on the amount of work that needs to be done. In some cases, Liposuction may be done in conjunction with an Abdominoplasty for optimum results.
To find out if Abdominoplasty is right for you, contact our office today to schedule your personal consultation with Dr. Jones.
Dysport is an injectable product designed to work similarly to Botox. Made from the same botulinum toxin type A, Dysport has been successfully used in the United States to decrease wrinkles in men and women since 2009. It is injected into the facial muscles which cause the wrinkles and temporarily freezes them, like with Botox, but unlike Botox, Dysport has a bit larger reach from the injection point. In fact its reach is one to three centimeters to Botox’s one centimeter, which means fewer injections.
Treatment results become apparent within a week after the injection and can last for several months. As with any cosmetic treatment, it is of the utmost important to find a well-trained professional to perform the procedure. If misused, Dysport may cause the eyelids or eyebrows to droop. If you are interested in learning more about Dysport and to find out if it’s the right treatment for the results you seek, contact our office today to schedule your consultation!

A heavy, sagging brow can develop over time with age or be hereditary and can give your face unwanted characteristics. Previous St. Louis Brow Lift patients, prior to the procedure, reported feeling as though their faces were communicating a sadness, tiredness or even anger which was not consistent with their emotions.
Dr. Timothy Jones creates a unique treatment plan that best suites each individual patient’s needs and desires. In many cases Dr. Jones is able to employ the use of an endoscopic brow lift, which is a much less invasive version of the conventional brow lift and requires smaller incisions. Having smaller incisions also means a quicker recovery time.
See the results now in our Brow Lift Gallery! If you would like to learn more about if a brow lift is right for you, we invite you contact our offices for a consultation where we’ll be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
