Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Is Diode Sheerlight Laser Safe for Upperlip As I Already Have Hyperpigmentation There?

Lightsheer will work for the upperlip regardless of hyperpigmentation
Jul 9, 2013

The Lightsheer laser is effective on the upper lip as long as the hair is dark. If you have white or blonde hairs it will not be effective. The Lightsheer is attracted to melanin so you will have some risk if the skin is hyper-pigmented but with that being said; The Lightsheer has the ability to be calibrated to work on darker skin tones. I would recommend a test spot first and then if that goes well you may proceed with treatment. If you are troubled by the ingrown hairs, I believe…

Can Lightsheer Diode Laser Remove Very Fine Black Hairs?

Laser on fine black hair
Jul 9, 2013

The LightSheer is effective on fine black hair. It is a diode laser and it is attracted to the melanin in the hair. You will generally need 5-7 treatments to effectively remove most of the hair with a touch -up treatment done bi-yearly.

IPL on Freckles?

IPl works Freckling
Jul 9, 2013

The IPL is effective for freckling but the patient must be aware that going into the sun or having exposure can cause the freckling to reappear. My office generally does 4-5 IPL treatments coupled with a medical grade skin care line for home care to help with pigmentation issues utilizing either prescription strength hydroquinone or an alternative if the patient isn’t comfortable using hydroquinone. We find that the combination leads to the best outcome for the patient.

TUBA Breast Augmentation

TUBA technique
May 9, 2011

The short answer to your question is yes, a sub-muscular placement is possible with a TUBA approach. But my concern at the moment with the TUBA technique is how one would control arterial bleeding if you do place the implant under the muscle. Invariably, you would want to release the pectoralis muscle at the inferior border and would most likely avulse some small arteries (perforators) that would be difficult to control. Hope that helps you

Small Anatomical Implants for Tuberous Breasts?

Textured anatomic implants
May 9, 2011

Your question as it pertains to your particular problem is a hard one to answer without more clinic information (photos, correct diagnosis, etc) But in general, I find that anatomic implants don't make quite the difference that is touted because once the body recognizes a foreign body (i.e implant) it will immediately begin to wall it off into a capsule which will often contort the anatomic implant to lose it's shape during the encapsulation process. I…

Will IPL Treatment on Chest Skin Damage Silicone Breast Implants?

chest wall IPL
Feb 14, 2011

There is no reason for concern when receiving IPL for clearing up the dark age/sun spots of the chest in light of breast augmentation. The depth of energy delivery does not penetrate the level of the implants and you would not have any consequences from the treatment. Hope that helps

Breast Augmentation X Ray

imaging after breast augmentation
Feb 14, 2011

Great question, especially in light of mammogram screening that is so important for overall breast health. Fortunately, having either silicone or saline implant does not preclude you from any type of imaging (xray, ultrasound, MRI, CT, PET, etc.) It is a good idea to let the imaging techs know that they are present so they can adjust some techniques to get better qualtiy images. hope that helps

Does Raising the Nasal Bridge Have Essentially the Same Effect As Epicanthoplasty?

nasal bridge affecting epicanthal folds?
Jan 14, 2011

I don't think that raising the nasal bridge will have a huge impact on your epicanthal folds and they would not be considered equivalent in fixing any canthal issues. My recommendation is always to be conservative in my approach, to never burn any bridges, and try to create the most natrural results… Armed with that philosophy, I would recommend just like you suggested and tackle the blepharoplasty first and hold off on the medial canthoplasty until the nasal implant is in place. M

Possible to Remove Permanent Sutures (Possibly Prolene) from DST Method Done 3 Years Ago?

removal of sutures
Jan 14, 2011

If by DST you mean direct suture technique, then yes it is quite easy to remove any permanent sutures from your eyelid, especially if prolene or nylon suture is used. You might lose to effect from the Asian blepharoplasty in that you might lose the crease or it can be significantly weakeded or blunted. But if you feel that the sutures are spitting out, then yes, you can have them removed. I would recommend going back to the surgeon who placed such sutures, they would be able to take care…

Rhino 14 Days Ago – What Is This Yellow Tinge Around my Eyes and Forehead?

Yellow Tinge
Jan 14, 2011

Most likely it is your bruising that is evolving/resolving. Usually when you have surgery that causes some eccymosis aka brusing, the color goes through a transition from a purple/black hue to a redish brownish color, then to a greenish and finally a yellowish tinge. It's also possible that if Betadine was used to prep your face for surgery, it could be the the dye from the betadine that is giving you the yellowish tinge. In either case, if you can be just a little more patient…

Double Eyelid Surgery and Loss of Function?

No loss of function to double eyelid surgery
Jan 14, 2011

There is no functional sequelae from receiving an Asian Blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery). The mechanics of blinking should not be affected assuming the procedure is done properly and no too much skin is removed in the incisional technique or there is not too much tension with the non-incisional technique.

Is It Possible to Have Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Only on the End of my Eyes?

double eyelids at the ends of my eyes?
Jan 14, 2011

It is difficult to see from the photo you've posted the extent of the problem. But in general, to answer your question, Yes, you can have a revisional surgery that only involved the medial or lateral canthus. As far as the non-incisional vs incisional debate, usually the incisional technique is more durable but I wouldn't go second guessing your surgery about it. Unfortunately, even in the best hand, these things can happen. I would suggest if your results bother you, to seek a…

Epicanthal Fold?

Medial Canthoplasty
Jan 14, 2011

From reviewing you photos, If I understand your question, you are asking if it is possible to create an epicanthal fold at the medial canthus? If so, then yes, you can do a w-plasty or a jumping man flap to create the fold in the inner most part of the upper lid. It is a fairly straight forward procedure, I would recommend going to either a plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon who has alot of experience in this area. Secondly in answer to lowering the height of the eyelid, yet that is…

How Long Do Double Eyelid Surgery Results Last?

How long does the Asian Blepharoplasty last?
Jan 12, 2011

This is a very tricky question because there are several variables that go into the longevity of an Asian Blepharoplasty (Double Eyelid Surgery). For the most part, Incisional techiques are thought to be more permanent due to the fact that if done properly, you are exactly creating the attachments from the levator muscle to the eyelid skin by the way of sutures and its subsequent scarring. In the instance of the suture/folding technique, you are relying on more of the integrity of the…

Asymmetrical Eyelids After Asian Blepharoplasty

Asian Eyelid Asymmetry
Jan 12, 2011

Thank you for your question… Based on your photo's I can appreciate why you would be bothered by the asymmetry. Unfortunately, even in the best hands, sometimes these things can happen. Fortunately, this asymmetry can be corrected in one of two ways, depending on if your fold was created using the full thickness cutting technique or just the suture folding technique. Either way the procedure is tricky and you certainly want to go to a well qualified plastic or ocuoloplastic surgeon for
