Botox away your Resting Bitch Face

“Are you O.K? Is something wrong?”

Not just a name, but resting bitch face is a “condition” which has been scientifically studied. It has been popularized (intentionally or unintentionally) by celebrities such as Kristen Stewart, Anna Kendrick, and Anna Paquin.

Resting bitch face, also known as bitchy resting face or resting angry face, gives others looking at you the perception that you’re feeling bored, angry, irritated, or skeptical. If you don’t want to convey these emotions, then wrinkle relaxers such as Botox and Dysport® can help.

Featured Patient Reviews

“Dr. Chaboki is overall a wonderful doctor - skillful, knowledgeable, caring, thorough, intelligent - everything one hopes to find in a doctor. I highly encourage anyone seeking a cosmetic/plastic surgeon to visit Dr. Chaboki. He performed rhinoplasty on me and I am extremely happy with the results, and with the care I received. He is respectful and patient - he took the time to clearly explain my procedure and I never felt rushed or silly for asking questions. He provided excellent support throughout the process, including outstanding follow-up care. He has the rare ability to combine extreme kindness with unyielding professionalism. He has a wonderful staff.”

"My experience with Dr. Chaboki was very good. He answered all my questions pre and post op. He made time for me, calmed my fears and was easy to talk to. He correctly explained what I would feel post-op in terms of discomfort and pain. He was very patient. I have already recommended his services to a co-worker."

"Dr. Chaboki's bedside manner was terrific throughout the entire process, from first consultation to post-op, Dr. Chaboki made himself available for any questions and was willing to immediately schedule me for appointments. The actual post-op recovery time was less than expected. I only had one night of discomfort the night of surgery, but the next day Dr. Chaboki removed my packing and I felt little discomfort and slept very well."

"Fantastic doctor!!! Dr. Chaboki is top-notch. I went to Dr. Chaboki for a filler consult after doing a bit of research. I was getting my regular botox and filler from a doc in Philly while I was living there and he was good. But Dr. Chaboki pretty much ran circles around him in terms of giving me look more lifted youthful and natural look. And all w/ the use of Radiesse instead of Juvederm. He is kind, accredited, and well-versed in his craft. I am so happy I found this doctor."

"As uncomfortable as a surgical procedure might be, Dr. Chaboki was a true professional and I was as pleased with his patient relations as with his medical skill. Dr. Chaboki took time to put to rest any concerns or anxiety I had over the procedure, he was in consistent contact me before and after, and I was highly satisfied with my results. I can now breathe perfectly thanks to his good work. I would recommend Dr. Chaboki to anyone considering surgical work because of the personalized approach he has to exemplary patient care and results."
