Natural Results in Bend
If you’re considering a cosmetic enhancement but feel anxious about surgery, you’re not alone. As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Bend, Oregon, Dr. Emily Borsting offers minimally invasive, in-office cosmetic procedures that deliver gorgeous, natural-looking results – without the stress of hospital surgery or long recoveries. In this post, we’ll explore how these modern treatments prioritize your comfort, reduce anxiety, and fit conveniently into your life, all while being performed with the world-class expertise and personal touch Dr. Borsting is known for.
Bend, Oregon is known for its natural beauty. Dr. Borsting’s approach mirrors that ethos by focusing on subtle enhancements that highlight your own natural features. Minimally invasive procedures are rising in popularity because they provide real improvements with far less downtime than traditional plastic surgery. Whether it’s a quick in-office treatment like Botox or a gentle laser skin rejuvenation session, patients can enhance their looks in a familiar setting without major disruption to their routine.
Why Choose In-Office, Minimally Invasive Procedures?
In-office cosmetic procedures allow you to achieve your aesthetic goals with a fraction of the hassle that comes with surgery. Here are some key benefits of opting for minimally invasive treatments at Dr. Borsting’s Bend, OR practice:
No General Anesthesia – You Stay Awake & Comfortable: Many people find the idea of being “put under” for surgery intimidating. In-office procedures use local anesthesia (numbing just the treatment area) and mild sedatives instead of general anesthesia, so you remain awake yet relaxed throughout. This approach greatly reduces anxiety for patients who worry about being unconscious, while still keeping you comfortable and pain-free.
Lower Cost & Less Hassle: Because your treatment is done right in our office, you avoid expensive hospital facility fees and anesthesia charges. There’s no need for extensive pre-op tests or additional paperwork required by surgery centers, making the whole process more affordable and streamlined. This means you can achieve your desired results without breaking the bank or jumping through extra hoops.
Quicker Recovery & Minimal Downtime: Minimally invasive procedures generally involve tiny incisions (if any) and gentler techniques, meaning your body has less healing to do afterward. You won’t need days of bed rest; in fact, most patients are up and about the same or next day after an in-office treatment. Avoiding heavy general anesthesia also means you skip the groggy, nauseous recovery period – you’re alert and feeling like yourself much sooner.
Easy Scheduling & Convenience: Scheduling an in-office procedure is often much easier than booking time in an operating room. You can have your treatment on a weekday and be home by lunch, since we work around your life – not the other way around. There’s no complex coordination with a hospital’s schedule, which means more flexibility and less wait time for you.
Familiar, Relaxed Environment: On the day of your procedure, you’ll walk into the same comfortable office where you met Dr. Borsting for your consultation. Being in a familiar space with the friendly team you already know helps put you at ease. Many patients say this boutique setting – versus a large, impersonal surgical facility – makes the experience far less stressful.
World-Class Expertise with a Small-Town Touch
One of the greatest advantages of choosing Dr. Emily Borsting for your minimally invasive cosmetic treatments is the unique combination of elite expertise and personal, small-town care she provides. Dr. Borsting is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which means she has undergone the most rigorous training and examinations in the field. She completed six years of advanced plastic surgery residency at a top institution and has authored over 50 research publications, reflecting her commitment to excellence and innovation. Yet despite her world-class credentials, Dr. Borsting is also known for her warm, down-to-earth approach that puts patients first.
Being a Bend, Oregon native (and a mom of two young kids), Dr. Borsting understands the values of our community – you’ll never feel like “just a number” here. She takes time to listen to your concerns, answer questions, and craft a personalized treatment plan that makes sense for you. It’s truly boutique-level care with big-city expertise. Patients often comment that they appreciate the extra time and attention Dr. Borsting provides – the kind of friendly, individualized experience you might not get at a busy urban clinic. When you’re in her office, you have her full focus and genuine care, from the initial consultation through every follow-up.
The Plastic Surgeon Difference: Your Safety & Natural Results
In today’s world, you have many choices for cosmetic treatments – med spas, dermatology clinics, even salons offer injectables and laser services. However, there’s a reason so many people specifically seek out a plastic surgeon in Bend, Oregon for these procedures. Having a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Borsting perform or oversee your treatment offers an extra level of safety, expertise, and artistry that is hard to match elsewhere.
Consider this: it’s not uncommon for some providers to learn injectables in a weekend course or by watching a few videos. In contrast, plastic surgeons spend years mastering facial anatomy, injection techniques, and surgical precision. This depth of knowledge means Dr. Borsting can handle your treatment with a surgeon’s skill and an artist’s eye. She understands the nuances of how to achieve beautiful results – for example, exactly how much filler to place and where, or the safest way to sculpt a bit of fat under the chin – while minimizing risks. If something unexpected occurs, you’re in the care of a physician fully trained to respond.
Another key difference is the emphasis on natural-looking results. A highly trained plastic surgeon will never “overdo” a treatment just to upsell a product. Dr. Borsting’s goal is to enhance your features in a subtle, balanced way, so friends might say you look refreshed or glowing – but never “worked on.” Industry trends show that patients increasingly prefer these subtle enhancements over dramatic changes, and Dr. Borsting wholeheartedly agrees.
Achieving a natural-looking result is always Dr. Borsting’s priority. As she often reminds patients, “We’re not here to create a brand new you — we’re here to emphasize, refresh, and spotlight the beautiful qualities you already have!”. Guided by this philosophy, she uses an artistic approach to highlight your unique beauty while keeping your overall look in harmony. You can trust that your outcome will appear authentic and elegant – never artificial or overdone.
Safety is also paramount. In an era when injectables are sometimes treated casually, Dr. Borsting maintains the highest medical standards. All procedures are done with sterile technique and top-quality products. Moreover, being in a medical office under a plastic surgeon’s care means any rare complications can be addressed immediately and appropriately – a peace of mind you won’t get from a pop-up clinic or inexperienced provider.
Patient Comfort: Our Priority (Pain-Free with ProNox™)
To further ensure your experience is stress-free, Dr. Borsting’s practice offers amenities you won’t find everywhere. She is currently the only plastic surgeon in Bend, Oregon to offer the ProNox™ nitrous oxide system for in-office procedures. ProNox is often called “laughing gas,” and it’s a game-changer for patient comfort. It allows you to self-administer a safe 50/50 mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen during your treatment whenever you feel anxious or need a little extra relief. You stay awake the entire time, but you’ll feel relaxed and at ease – any nerves or discomfort quickly fade after a few breaths of ProNox.
Best of all, the effects wear off within minutes, so by the time your procedure is done, you’re back to normal and typically able to drive yourself home. Patients love that they can have a procedure over lunch and return home on their own, not needing a driver or a day off to recover. It’s one more way Dr. Borsting goes above and beyond to prioritize your comfort and reduce any anxiety. As one of her patients said after an in-office treatment with ProNox, “having the procedure awake in-office made the whole experience so much easier than I expected.” Knowing you have options like ProNox to keep you calm means you can feel confident walking in on procedure day.
Popular Minimally Invasive Procedures at Our Bend, OR Clinic
Dr. Borsting offers a full suite of in-office cosmetic procedures to help you look and feel your very best – all performed with her signature blend of skill and compassion. Some of the most popular treatments include:
Botox & Wrinkle Relaxers: Quick injections to smooth frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. These treatments soften wrinkles and refresh your expression with no surgery and no downtime. (It’s no surprise Botox is the #1 minimally invasive procedure nationwide, with nearly 9.5 million treatments done last year!)
Dermal Fillers: Expertly placed fillers (like Juvéderm or Restylane) restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks and lips or fill in deep folds. The results are instant and youthful, yet very natural when done by a skilled injector. Dr. Borsting uses fillers to gently lift and contour, bringing back your face’s youthful plumpness in a subtle way.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation: Non-surgical laser or energy treatments can improve skin tone, texture, and radiance – all from the comfort of our office. These technologies reduce sun damage, fade discoloration, smooth fine lines, and even boost collagen, giving your skin a healthy glow without harsh chemicals or invasive surgery. Overall, laser rejuvenation helps you achieve clearer, younger-looking skin with little to no downtime.
Minor Surgical Lifts & Tucks: Thanks to advanced techniques, certain “mini” surgeries can be done in-office under local anesthesia. For example, a mini facelift or eyelid lift can often be performed without general anesthesia, targeting a specific concern with a shorter recovery. Dr. Borsting will always recommend the least invasive approach that can still achieve your desired outcome.
Targeted Fat Reduction: Stubborn fat under the chin or small pockets on the body can be addressed with in-office procedures as well. Dr. Borsting offers in-office liposuction for areas like the chin/neck using only local numbing (and ProNox for comfort) – meaning no hospital trip is needed to remove that “double chin.” These precise fat reduction treatments can gently sculpt and slim specific areas, helping you see a nice contour improvement without a major operation.
Throughout all these options, Dr. Borsting’s focus is on maximizing results and minimizing discomfort. She personally consults with every patient to determine which treatment – or combination of treatments – aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and budget. You’ll get an honest assessment and education about what to expect, so you can make an informed decision that you feel great about.
