Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What can be done to fix my huge nose?
Rhinoplasty
Nov 16, 2015
A reduction rhinoplasty will work great in this case. It will remove the dorsal hump and then close (narrow) the nasal bones. Also a softening of the tip can be done at the same time to complete the balanced look of the nose.
Should I do a “mini lift” or is a second facelift my only option at real rejuvenation? Could fillers
Facelift Options
Nov 16, 2015
The choice of a mini lift vs a full face lift is purely a question of expectation of results. If you want really dramatic improvement, go with the full lift which is safe and effective following a complete health examination.
Traditional blepharoplasty, co2 laser or radio frequency technology to tighten upper eyelids?
Upper Eyelid Concerns
Nov 16, 2015
I favor traditional bleph because this procedure just about never disappoints. Excess skin is removed totally which diminishes the possibility that the rf or laser does not tighten the skin adequately.
Will dermal fillers help my eye bags? Is there a better alternative? They are hereditary and I've had
Dermal Fillers vs. Blepharoplasty
Aug 18, 2015
If the bags are bulging, a blepharoplasty is a better alternative to fillers. This is because bulging is caused by fat falling forward in the eye socket and can be easily treated.
After losing weight, I have droopy jaws and sleepy eyes. What cosmetic surgery can I get to lift thos
Weight Loss
Aug 18, 2015
Patients who have weight loss are frequently good candidates for face lift and blepharoplasty. Good luck to you!
I'm 48 and want a lower bleph. How long time is recovery? Is fat grafting at the same time a good ide
Blepharoplasty Recovery
Aug 18, 2015
Recovery following blepharoplasty includes one week of sutures and mild swelling followed by a second week of going from good to great.
My earring ripped out of my ear .Can I get it stitched up ? If so, do I go to the ER or make a doctor
Earlob Repair
Jul 7, 2015
The treatment approach depends on the deformity. I start with numbing the area with local anesthesia. Then, I would remove some of the skin of the earlobe, so that I can reconstruct it. I use fine sutures that will be removed in 1 to 2 weeks. In most cases, the earlobe can be re-pierced in a place that will be protected from re-injury. This is a very successful procedure, that is well tolerated.
I'm wondering how much weight a doctor will want me to lose before a tummy tuck surgery.
Tummy Tuck
Jun 18, 2015
Great question and every doctor and patient collaborates for a different approach. In my practice, I greatly rely on the changes in weight over time. That means that if you are actively losing weight each week, I prefer to wait for surgery until your measurements stabilize.
Do I need a brow lift?
Brow Lift
Jun 18, 2015
A brow lift is only technically needed in cases where the brow has dropped so low that the vision is obstructed. That being said, many of my patients benefit from an elective brow lift to help them look younger. The brow position should be about 1 cm above the bone orbit rim. Please check that on yourself and make a determination if you would look better by simply raising your brow on one side with your finger and comparing it to the other side.
How to fix strange under eye bags + what caused them?
Eyelid Aging
Jun 18, 2015
You need a professional to view your eyes in person with eyes open and closed and other tests. This will define the diagnosis and dictate the treatment indicated. Your problem is not unique and a qualified plastic surgeon will likely be able to remove the condition for you with standard surgical techniques.
I'm 34. Am I too young for mini facelift?
Mini Lift
May 20, 2015
The trend for mini face lifts for patients like yourself, is expanding. A mini face lift can often be done in the office surgery suite. This procedure is useful to elevate the skin of the face and neck line. This can improve current aging. Fillers only mask this problem. I think you are on the right track. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
What treatments would you recommend for me? Tummy tuck, mini, lipo? Plus breast advice?
Mommy Makeover
May 20, 2015
What you choose to do will be dependent on what results you expect. Your breasts have some volume, so a breast lift would make the breasts appear more symmetric and youthful. However you will trade the aging breasts for scars. Every patient is different in their acceptance of scaring. Your abdomen has some bulging that may benefit from liposuction, however this will not tighten the skin, so a tummy tuck may be needed. A tummy tuck would allow the skin...
I have drooping eyelids causing rashes and line of sight problems. How should I deal with this?
Blepharoplasty Procedure
May 20, 2015
Your condition is easily treated with time tested blepharoplasty techniques. Extra skin and sometimes fat can be removed from the upper lids, giving you a refreshed appearance and helping you with you vision issues. The lower lids are treated by removing the extra fat and repositioning the lid to a more normal position.
Gynecomastia; how long should I wear the belt compression?
Compression after Gynecomastia Surgery
Apr 21, 2015
Most patients that have uneventful recoveries after gynecomastia surgery, wear the compression garment for about 3 weeks and are able to return to the gym after 5 weeks.
If I were to schedule and have a Tummy Tuck in May, at what point would I be able to swim in a pool o
Swimming post tummy tuck
Apr 21, 2015
As long as your incisions are healing well, most patients can usually can swim at 5 weeks following the surgery.
