Dr. Calvin Lee, MD and his team at Surgical Artistry are proud to receive the prestigious distinction of being a TOP 250 level member with Allergan. We are very thankful to our patients for their continued support and trust. And we are grateful to our Surgical Artistry team for their excellence and dedication. We are thankful to Allergan for producing excellent products which we trust and for giving us this top award.

Top 250 Allergan Account

Allergan is the maker of Botox and Juvederm and periodically recognizes the country’s most skilled and prolific specialists using their products in the world of aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery. We estimate that there are over 40,000 Allergan accounts in the USA. It’s a huge honor to have a Top 250 ranking. Dr. Lee has been honored to have a Top 500 ranking since the end of 2016 for 3 years. The ranking fluctuates from day to day and Allergan allows for their Top 500-600 accounts to view the “leaderboard” online.

Allergan products

Allergan makes many products and the ones that we use at Surgical Artistry are: Botox, Juvederm, Kybella, and Latisse. Allergan also makes Skinmedica skin care, Natrelle Breast Implants, Coolsculpting, Cooltone and Diamond Glow. These other products are ones that we have not yet expanded into. We currently use products from other companies such as Mentor or Obagi or other surgical techniques such as liposuction. Surgical Artistry has been using Allergan products since 2006. Dr. Tammy Wu was the original injector of Botox, but in 2008, she turned the art and practice of cosmetic injections over to Dr. Calvin Lee. Now it is the bulk of what Dr. Lee does every day at Surgical Artistry.

BOTOX purchased in 2014 by our Modesto Surgical Practice

Allergan, Botox, Juvederm, Latisse, Modesto, year in review

Allergan products purchased by our Modesto Botox Practice in 2014.

Allergan has a robust reporting system which can track your purchases throughout the year.  The graphic below represents the amount of Botox, Juvederm Latisse, Voluma and breast implants purchased from Allergan over the 2014 year.  However, not all these products were delivered in 2014.   It is possible that some of these products have a “scheduled” shipment in 2015.  Natrelles listed here are breast implants.  There are other companies which sell breast implants, such as Mentor.  Mentor is the maker of the memory shape implant and is a competitor to Allergan.  In our Modesto Plastic Surgery practice, we carry a whole array of Mentor breast implants and have at our use many Natrelle implants.

Botox Bottles purchased in 2014, along with Juvederm, Latisse and Voluma
Botox Bottles purchased in 2014, along with Juvederm, Latisse and Voluma

In 2014, 365 bottles of Botox were purchased.

As for the Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus and the Juvederm Voluma – those are boxes of the product.  There is more than one syringe in a box.  More on this topic another day.  As for the Latisse, it is in cases – many many Latisse boxes in a case.

My personal Modesto Botox injection statistics 2014

Botox, Juvederm, Modesto, Radiesse, Voluma, year in review

34,234 units of Botox injected & 443 syringes of dermal fillers implanted in 2014.

2014 collection of empty Botox bottles
2014 collection of empty Botox bottles

Much of the data here comes from my own recording of each day’s usage of Botox.  I have Jessica to thank for entering this data every day at our Modesto plastic surgery office, Surgical Artistry.

Every patient is unique

Patients are not statistics.

By using these statistics, I am hoping that other Botox injectors will find them useful, and I will also use them to find ways to improve.  Every Botox patient is unique and special to me – the statistics here is a look at my practice, not a look at an individual patient.

“Measure it to Improve it”

But for me, to be an excellent surgeon, it is my belief that my best surgical outcomes come from consistent practice, a good volume of injections, along with diligent purposeful thoughts of improvement.  Thus I keep track of many things in my practice of medicine.  These statistics are just one of them.  There’s a saying which I put to practice from my surgery residency days: “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.”  Although the phrase was first presented to me as “If you can measure it, you can improve it.”  I prefer thinking the second iteration.  It just sounds more positive to me.

2014 Year End Botox Statistics

  • Number of Botox visits to us in Modesto, CA for the year:  1009.  This is up from last year where I had a total of 724 visits.  (there were still 2 more days left in the year when this was written and compiled), so these numbers will be even higher.
  • 503 different patients were seen for Botox in 2014.  This is up from 374 last year.
  • Average number of patients per month: 84 patients per month.
  • Total number of Botox units used per year: 34,234 Units.
  • Dermal syringes injected over the year: 443 syringes of filler!  I had no data on this last year.  I do not have data on which type of syringe was used (ie. Belotero, Voluma, Radiesse, or Juvederm).
  • As before, about half of my time is reserved for Acupuncture.

A Thank You Letter from Allergan

Actavis, Allergan, Botox, Juvederm, Latisse, Modesto, year in review

This letter was sent out to myself, Dr. Tammy Wu, and my Modesto Plastic Surgery staff.  We had sent out one of the original letters of support for Allergan which was mentioned in this letter.

  • The acquisition will probably close in quarter 2 in 2015.
  • Until then, it is business as usual for Allergan Medical.

Yearly Botox growth 2014

Allergan, Botox, Juvederm, Modesto, Modesto Botox Blog, statistics, year in review, ,

Yearly Botox growth measured by the number of people who have had Botox or Juvederm at least once per year at our Modesto Botox Office: Surgical Artistry. 2014 data.

Basically, this is the growth of different patients seen per year at my Botox Practice in Modesto. It doesn’t matter if the patient comes to the office one time for that year for Botox or 100 times.  Well, I’ve never really had a patient come to our Modesto office 100 times for Botox.

The numbers come out of a computer program provided by the Allergan company (makers of Botox and Juvederm). The computer program is the analytics part of the Brilliant Distinctions program (BD Analytics).  I’m proud of the growth, and very thankful. Half of my time is reserved for Acupuncture and the other half is for cosmetic injectables.

2014 yearly botox growth data without numbers

I intentionally left the numbers off the Botox and Juvederm growth chart because I thought they were somewhat distraction.  Above is a screen capture of a chart created in Excel.

Notes about the Botox and Juvederm Data:

  • The data does not go back to 2006, when Surgical Artistry was formed.
  • The cutoff date between the years is December 15.
  • A different cutoff date was used in a prior analysis where mid August was the cutoff between the years.  That (August to August) shows a greater increase in numbers when looking at the percentage increases for the years 2012 and 2013.  The older charts and Botox/Juvederm data is here:  Botox and Juvederm Growth 2013.
  • Botox growth percentages.  2012: 53.0%, 2013: 35.0%, 2014: 31.6%
  • Juvederm growth percentages.  2012: 36.5%, 2013: 44.2%, 2014: 46.8%

The Best Botox Blogs

Botox, Juvederm, Modesto, Modesto Botox Blog, year in review

Listing of my Botox Blogs in reverse chronological order

I figured, I should start by listing my blog posts, then select the best out of it and post them in BOLD.   I’m writing this to you from Modesto, California.

I discovered that there are a lot more Blog posts than I had ever remembered.  This is a work in progress – not done yet.  I am just linking these pages by hand.  There’s probably a quicker way.  But this works for me too.  It allows me to practice typing!

  1. Modesto Piano Playing – dexterity challenges – Car Wash Video.  Believe it or not, I tried to combine a new christmas present of a camera, with a car wash, piano playing, and Botox dexterity
  2. Typing abiliity related to Botox injections?  Showing off a bit of typing speed.  Typing this blog helps my typing speed too.  Although I’m really not trying that hard to type with tension or even that fast for that matter.
  3. How many units for crows feet Botox?  A very common Botox question.
  4. Bumps after Botox?  Ever get those bumps on your forehead after getting Botox injections?  Well, it’s common to ask, and I figured I try to explain.
  5. Juvederm – just some basics on what is Juvederm.  I didn’t go into the molecular details here.  Perhaps another blog for that topic.
  6. A thank you letter form Allergan – more info about the Actavis takeover/merger.
  7. Yearly Botox growth 2014 – in terms of number of patients; not number of visits.
  8. The best Botox blogs.  um, this page.
  9. How does Botox work?  The biology of Botox!
  10. Can Botox cause botulism?  Honey can cause botulism.
  11. Spending too much money on internet webpages?  Try making your own!  Because it really doesn’t cost all that much – but it does take a good amount of time.
  12. My life with Botox and cosmetic dermal fillers.  I think it’s a reasonably good life.  I don’t do trauma surgery any more.  But perhaps someday I’ll get back into it.
  13. Who is Allergan?  Allergan makes Botox and other products.
  14. Latisse as an adjunct to Botox eye treatments.  How to apply Latisse video is located at this blog page.
  15. Skin aging infographic from Colorescience.  How we age and what to do about it.
  16. Botox terminology: Glabella.  Sometimes referred to as Glabellar – especially when there’s a word next to it, such as Glabellar Complex.
  17. Botox award from Allergan.  They give awards for this?  Sure I’ll put it somewhere in the office.
  18. Dexterity for Botox injections – Chopin?  Chopin Etudes for exercising those delicate fingers required for Botox injections.  You can take many things to a higher level.  This is my attempt as a Botox injector.  This isn’t a blog about getting Botox in the fingers of pianists.  That might be another topic another day.
  19. Botox mailing list growth – I use mail chimp.  This mailing list is more than just Botox, it has plastic surgery patients too.  Conclusion – it’s about 47 patients added per month to the mailing list for all of Surgical Artistry.  The post title is a bit misleading.
  20. Cosmetic procedures besides Botox.  I wrote this because I had patients who were surprised that I do other things besides Botox.  So here’s a few other things which I do which include Asclera, Belotero, Derma Pen, Obagi Blue Peel Radiance, Voluma.
  21. I didn’t know you inject Voluma?  Of course I do, and I love it.  It is a Juvederm product.
  22. Medical Botox vs. Cosmetic Botox, differences?  This is just the on-label FDA uses.  The off-label uses are a much bigger list.
  23. Monthly Botox chart – November 2014 update.  I like to see things graphically so here a graphic.
  24. Botox Report: Number of Patients for the Month.  Using the analytics section of Brilliant Distinctions.  The month would be November, 2014.
  25. Does Botox Hurt? – this is a great question!  I think most folks would say that it doesn’t hurt much at all.
  26. Botox Delivery – what it looks like in a box.  Nope, not pizza delivery to our Modesto office.
  27. Botox WiFi?  An original analogy that I made up to help explain more about how Botox works.
  28. What is Botox FDA approved for cosmetically?
  29. Belotero Balance Injection Technique – a unique method called serial puncture.  I have yet another secret method – but that’s perhaps for another blog.  I’ll probably call it “submarine attack.”
  30. Lowest price Botox?  We compete on results, safety, comfort, customer service, positive attitude, and communication.   Thus we hope to have the BEST VALUE.
  31. Botox didn’t work for my “11’s” – a discussion of when fillers are needed to compliment Botox in the Glabellar complex.  And there’s a discussion of the difference between static and dynamic wrinkles.
  32. Email from Allergan about Actavis 11-19-14.  Actavis to take over?
  33. Juvederm Voluma Injection Notes according to an Expert outside of the US.  The lecturer was Dr. deMaio.  I don’t agree with everything he says, but I really appreciated having the opportunity to see him lecture on a webinar.   I particularly liked how he talked about using Voluma for “lateral support.”
  34. Best cosmetic Surgeon Award.  Stanislaus’ Contentment Health Magazine had a first ever voting in the community of “bests” and we were given this award for Best cosmetic surgeon.  Congratulations to everyone!
  35. Latisse Pricing changes at Surgical Artistry Modesto, California.  Still a great price.
  36. Neotensil is now Available at Surgical Artistry.  Under eye shape-wear.
  37. Juvederm Voluma for the Lips?  This was a question we got over the phone.
  38. Botox in Modesto – where to get Botox? This is a list of 36 possible places to get Botox in Modesto.  It seems that Modesto is Botox Central!  I’m sure the list will continue to grow.  I used lists from Find-a-provider from Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin.  Just compiled this as a response to a question which I received in my office in Modesto, CA.  The questions I receive are often inspirations for Botox blog postings.
  39. Cosmetic Fillers compared in terms of thickness.  Fillers are different in many ways, and one of the ways that they are different is how thick they are.  I rank them in the order of thickness – according to how I see it.
  40. Botox related products at Surgical Artistry.  Basically a listing of injectables.
  41. What does an Allergan Botox bill look like? Botox and Juvederm can be expensive.
  42. Will I ever have more than 100 Botox Patients per month?  I’ve already done this! Yay!
  43. Botox, Veins, and Acupuncture: How my time is broken up in the office.  I’ve provided a pie graph.
  44. Why a patient would choose Surgical Artistry – Staff View.  – So that’s what they think of me…  I won’t say if any of this is actually for real, but this is what they said on email when recently asked to provide their thoughts.
  45. Muscles, nerves and Vasculature of the face for the Botox and Juvederm Injector.
  46. Facial Fat Compartment Anatomy for Botox and Juvederm Injections.
  47. After Botox, I have a headache.  Headaches can be a side effect right after getting Botox injections.
  48. Allergan and Valeant – Letters against the possible “Vallergant” merger.  Dr. Tammy Wu wrote one of the very first letters.  I think this started the trend.
  49. Radiesse is back at Surgical Artisry.  Radiesse is a wonderfu filler.
  50. Calvin Lee, MD Modesto Botox Surgeon Stats as a Botox injector.  2013 statistics.
  51. Modesto Botox 2013 in review.  More about our Botox practice in 2013, including a discussion of overhead costs.
  52. Juvederm before and after picture for cheeks.  This was before Juvederm Voluma.
  53. Axillary Hyperhidrosis Botox (excessive sweating) treatments in Modesto by Calvin Lee, MD.
  54. What to do in case of Dermal Filler Emergency.  Really important page.
  55. Botox is now approved by the FDA to treat Crows Feet.  But doctors have been injecting crows feet already for the past 10 years before FDA approval.  That’s called off-label use of Botox.
  56. Botox Development built into Brilliant Distinctions.  Our Allergan representative asked if I’d write a bit about Brilliant Distinctions and they got this blog.
  57. Botox in Modesto – Consider having it done by Calvin Lee, MD.  This was the blog which inspired the home page of www.InjectionArtistry.com
  58. Belotero and Botox for around the eyes.
  59. Botox and Juvederm growth of about 60% per year for the past 2 years.  This is a good blog if you’re into tracking the growth of a Botox/Juvederm practice and if you like bar charts.
  60. Growth Rate for our Modesto Botox, Juvederm, and Latisse practice.
  61. Botox and Juvederm informational event at Surgical Artistry.  The Botox rep keeps wanting me to do another even like this wihch was in August 2013.  This blog keeps some of my notes regarding the event and also has some FaceBook screen captures of what people thought of it.
  62. Attributes of Highly Effective Botox Injectors.  I decided to stalk famous injectors as if they were celebrities.  For the past 2 months.  I went around the country to participate in lectures, courses and conferences regarding Botox, Juvederm, and other cosmetic injections.  I also made it a point to personally get to know some of these injectors.

Superior BOTOX webpages which I’ve made:

Fruits of labor. Miewa variety of Kumquats from our garden in Modesto, CA.
Fruits of labor. Miewa variety of Kumquats from our garden in Modesto, CA.

Ideas for future blogs (notes to myself):

  • What is Juvederm?  A large family of filler products.  Different products are available in different countries.  I’ll be writing from the USA – specifically Modesto, CA.
  • The surprised overly arched eyebrow look with Botox.  How to fix that.  Sometimes called the “M” look for the eyebrows.  Or the “Spock look.”
  • Brow ptosis (drooping), how to avoid and get the best of all worlds where the wrinkles go away on the forehead and the eyebrows stay up.

Monthly Botox Chart – November 2014 update

Botox, Botox Injectors, Brilliant Distinctions, Modesto, statistics, year in review

Botox Patient Charting

Background info

For fun, I like to see trends.  And I like to use the functionality of an old Excel spreadsheet.  I use Excel 2003 – it just seems most comfortable to me.  I have updated version of Excel which I use but I still always seem to go back to the 2003 version.  Just my preference.  I make these charts based on data from Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions – I also keep track of other Botox Statistics related to our Modesto Botox Practice.  I also have 2013 Modesto Botox Statistics.  I’m getting ready for 2014 Botox Statistics, but 2014 isn’t completely over yet.  In fact November isn’t over yet either, but the next working day is Dec 1, 2014.

The Botox Patient Monthly Chart

Botox Patients Per Month
Botox Patients Per Month.  Click larger.

  • The dip in September 2014 for Botox patients is due to a two week vacation away from the office.  The much of the vacation was work related.  With visits to other Botox practitioners, Acupuncture centers, and Qi-Gong lessons.
  • The orange arrow was drawn in by hand; there was no mathematical method done for the rendering of that line.
  • December 2014 is missing from the chart because December hasn’t come about yet.
  • It’s interesting to see that the growth so far seems to be linear.
  • The chart starts with the very beginning of 2011 where a large part of my practice included General Surgery, Veins, and Acupuncture.

Some generalizations from the BOTOX chart

Regarding our Modesto Botox – Plastic Surgery Practice:

  • In 2011, the average number of BOTOX patients per month was 22.5
  • In 2012, the average number of BOTOX patients per month was 42
  • In 2013, the average number of BOTOX patients per month was 60
  • In 2014, the average number of BOTOX patients per month is 82.9
  • We await December to finalize the 2014 number above.

BOTOX Predictions

This linear growth will start to level off in 2015.  Why?  Because I am totally running out of appointment slots.  That’s fine with me.  I’ve made peace with the idea that I’m not aiming to be busier.  I just am just aiming for higher quality with each visit.  I’m looking forward to December 2014, and a New Year 2015!

 

Botox Report: Number of Patients for the Month

Allergan, Botox, Botox Injectors, year in review

Brilliant Distinctions Analytics Section

I’ ve been playing around with Botox’s Brilliant Distinctions reporting.  Brilliant Distinctions is a rebate/coupon type program run by the Allergan company for our Botox patients.  I pulled up a custom report with the dates in November 2014, and selected it to produce a list of Botox patients.  This is in the analytics section.  Then I look at the reports on an excel spreadsheet.  I also keep my own Modesto Botox and Juvederm Brilliant Distinctions Statistics.

November’s Botox Numbers: 96

The results reveal a grand total of 96 patients seen for the month of November, 2014.  November has typically been a busy month for Botox at our Modesto Botox Practice: Surgical Artistry (Injections by me: Calvin Lee, MD).

96 Patients – well, this hasn’t been our busiest month this year.

I did hit over 100 patients last month.  A while back, I wrote a blog regarding the elusive 100 Botox patients per month goal for my Botox practice.  Botox and Fillers takes up half of my practice; meaning it takes up half of the practice when using time as a measure.  So it takes up half the time – stated more simply.

123 Patients seen in the month of October, 2014

October, which is last month, revealed a large surge of Botox patients into our office with 123 patients seen.  Overall, I think the Botox trend is an upward one.  Perhaps this is a reflection of the overall economy.

Excuses for not hitting 100 Botox patients this month? (with Thanksgiving in it).

Well, there aren’t much excuses except that it isn’t that big of a goal for me anyway.  My main goal is excellent results with Botox – not huge numbers of Botox patients.  But Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions Analytics does make it fun to extract these numbers.  And… December is another month to look forward to.

Botox, Veins, and Acupuncture: How my time is broken up in the office

Allergan, Botox, Botox Injectors, Juvederm, Modesto, Radiesse, statistics, year in review

Office time is divided up among three main procedures:  Botox, Veins, and Acupuncture

I had a chance to do some data analysis from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014.  This is the first half of 2014.  I get the question from time to time regarding what part of practice involves Botox or Acupuncture or Veins?

I’m happy to report the results.  Basically it says that Botox is the biggest chunk of the office practice coming in at 47%, and Acupuncture is a close second at 45%.  Veins occupies 8% of the practice.

What about Surgeries?

That wasn’t included here.  It would be harder for me to figure out surgery vs. these office based procedures because the time required for surgery is usually much longer.  These numbers here (and percentages) are based on the total number of patients coming in for these procedures.  It is not based on time spent.  It is just based on “patient load.”

So here’s the graphic that shows the division of office based procedures:

2014 data for how my Veins, Acupuncture, and Botox division of office based procedures. Surgery isn’t included here since it isn’t done in the office. This chart is just the division of my patient load in the office.
