Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation

After noticing how tired she looked and how her “skin was actually starting to droop a lot more than she wanted to,” our patient began looking into facial rejuvenation. She says, “After 40 I noticed things were changing, and of course through a couple of conversations with my mother, I found that it was time I started to look into the different things that I could do.”


Her facial rejuvenation journey began after searching on the internet for treatment options that could help her look less tired. “The internet is full of information, about fillers, botox, different kinds of medical treatments and I assumed through the research that the only thing I needed was botox, and maybe like a chemical peel or something like that.” That was when she decided she needed to book a consultation, knowing that would be the best way to get medical advice and have a one-on-one experience with a trained provider.

After coming across Dr. Edward Dickerson online and finding Fayetteville Plastic Surgery & Cape Fear Aesthetics, she went ahead and booked her consultation with our Nurse Practitioner, Mrs. Julie Boice. Her goal was “to not look like I was 50 years old and maybe look like I was 40.”
After meeting Mrs. Boice, she recalls “she made me feel that out of all the practitioners in the area, she was the most knowledgeable.” Therefore they created a treatment plan which consisted of dermal fillers, starting with Voluma-to help bring the volume back to her facial cheeks, Belotero-to fill in the undereye problem, and lastly Sculptra. “The beautiful thing about Sculptra is that it helps your body naturally produce the collagen that was missing in my face.”


Mrs. Boice “was very thorough, she knew exactly what I needed in regards to my eyes looking really tired, and my skin looking really dull.” She states, “She is very smart in the different types of fillers there are, the different types of procedures that Dr. Dickerson can offer. If fillers wasn’t an option.” Therefore our client felt very comfortable with Mrs. Boice, and moved forward to begin the treatment.


A few months after undergoing a series of dermal fillers, Mrs. Boice showed her the before and after photos she had taken. She was shocked at the difference in the way she looked. “It was immediate confidence for me, I felt like I could walk around and feel like I was in my thirties!” This was a big boost for her self-esteem, and as a result she gets compliments all the time.
“The beautiful part was because I had that confidence, everyone else saw it. Especially my immediate family.” This has made the biggest impact in her daily life.

“I can tell you, based on the conversations I’ve had with Julie and the procedures I’ve done, if I could be a lifetime member of Dr. Dickerson’s office I will, and I plan on staying with Julie in the future. I absolutely love Julie Boice,” she says.

Meet Karen, 42

Karen has been a patient of Dr. Dickerson for the past seven years, after relocating from Florida to Fayetteville, North Carolina, back in 2011. “I hunted around for months before landing at Cape Fear Aesthetics,” she states.

When she started receiving treatments at Fayetteville Plastic Surgery and Cape Fear Aesthetics, she began with fillers in her cheeks, lips and botox. These treatments were familiar to her from her previous provider. “Anyone who has moved after establishing a regular and effective regimen of neuromodulators and dermal fillers with a trustworthy provider understands the angst involved. I swear it’s scarier than searching for a new GYN or hair stylist!,” she states.

After receiving treatment with Dr. Dickerson for several years she was very satisfied. “However,” she states “ I am so grateful Mrs. Boice is now part of the Cape Fear Aesthetics/Fayetteville Plastic Surgery team.”  “She’s one of the best things to happen to my face since sunscreen!”

Since working with Mrs. Boice, Karen transitioned to receiving other treatments as well, for example Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for her face, and Sculptra. She expresses her excitement towards PRP for her face, “I totally love it , it has totally transformed my skin. I’ve committed to doing that, made a promise to myself to do it twice a year. It’s really made my skin more luminous. It’s not the same as a filler but it really does make a difference in the overall youthfulness.”

Karen has had an amazing experience at Fayetteville Plastic Surgery and Cape Fear Aesthetics. “Overall I’ve felt really enthusiastic and excited about my investment and the treatment plan that I’m working on for my face, and I’ve never felt anxious afterwards. Which has been a total blessing, cause this is your face. This is what everybody sees when you go out in the world,” she says.

During one occasion Karen’s coworker approached her and was very apologetic about asking where she got her cosmetic work. She was very impressed, “Because your face is perfect,” she said, states Karen. After that, Karen went on to tell her all about Fayetteville Plastic Surgery & Cape Fear Aesthetics. “It’s nice to be able to steer people toward this office and towards Dr. Dickerson and Mrs. Boice,” she says.

Meet Sally, 46

Sally found Fayetteville Plastic Surgery & Cape Fear Aesthetics while searching online for a reputable Plastic Surgeon. After reading other patients reviews she was motivated to book her consultation with Dr. Dickerson and Mrs. Julie Boice, in hopes of finding treatment options that would help modify some of the concerns she was having.

“I was not happy with my top lip as it was too thin. I just wanted something natural and not crazy-looking big lips!`` she shares. Sally decided to have a lip flip, which is a non-surgical option for those looking to enhance their lips, resulting in the appearance of fuller lips.

After having an amazing experience, Sally shares her satisfaction with her results and  “recommend the procedure to others.” She has also received Microneedling treatments with Mrs. Julie Boice, and according to Sally, Mrs. Julie Boice is “very warm and welcoming”, and “I think she has the knowledge base to recommend something that will work for you.”

Once she returned to work, she instantly received wonderful compliments, “your skin looks tighter and you look younger!” Her experience with Mrs. Boice has been fantastic, “I trust her, she is not trying to do anything crazy with me.”

Meet Monique

Monique had her initial consultation at Fayetteville Plastic Surgery & Cape Fear Aesthetics almost four years ago. She tells us that after visiting other Plastic Surgeons and having many different consultations, she decided to come back to Dr. Dickerson’s office, “everybody treated me really nice and I felt like they cared,” she says.


After her second consultation with our Doctors, she decided to undergo the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. This procedure is a fat transfer procedure that removes excess fat from your body. The excess fat is then transferred to the buttocks, all of this results in contouring the size and shape of the waist, hips and buttocks area. “I had hip dips. They took all the fat from my stomach, my back and my love handles,” she states.

Falling in love with her results has given her a complete boost in confidence and self-esteem. “After I got my surgery” said monique, “I tell you I accentuated my sexy with this surgery.” Even though her husband didn’t want her to get the procedure done, she exclaims “now he loves it!” She tells us how all her family, parents and friends are in love with her results. “Nobody can believe I got the results I got in Fayetteville,” she states.

In her testimonial, Monique shares details about her post-recovery and also explains her experience with our medical team. “Any issues I had, or I thought I was having. Which were pretty much in my head, you guys helped me deal with them,”she states. Our medical team continuously follows up with our patients after their surgical procedures and assures the healing process is going exactly the way it should be.
