Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can you just release where under-eye fat was repositioned and let it go back to where it originally came
under-eye fat
Jul 7, 2022
Hello, if the fat does not hold, yes it will still survive if it goes back to the original location. The issue with that, is the cosmetic result may not be as desired if the results change position.
Do I need a facelift?
Facelift
Jun 1, 2022
Hello and thank you for your question. I have reviewed your photos. My personal opinion is that you are not a candidate for a facelift. You have a beautiful young-looking face. I would not suggest a facelift at this point in your life. I wish you the best of luck!
Flabby arms (Batwing) removal - will liposuction work?
Arms
May 5, 2022
Hello, and thank you for your question. Depending on the amount of excess fat and skin, you would likely need to do an arm lift with possible liposuction. If you have a large amount of excess skin, liposuction alone could make the situation worse. I suggest you schedule a in person meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to help discuss your concerns and needs. Good luck!
Can I use red light therapy after Blue Peel?
Red light therapy after blue peel
Apr 11, 2022
Hello, each person varies depending on how fast they heal. It is best to wait at least 3 weeks after a blue peel before using red light therapy. I suggest speaking with the doctor/person that is doing your light therapy to make sure your skin is healed enough before proceeding with the light therapy.
I have suffered from bags under my eyes for years. Am I a good candidate for under eye surgery?
Eyes
Mar 10, 2022
Hello and thank you for your question. In my opinion you would greatly benefit from a Quadrilateral Blepharoplasty (Upper and Lower Eyelids). If you decide to not do the upper eyelids, a lower lid blepharoplasty will help to remove those bags and give you a less "tired" appearance. I suggest meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in person. Good luck!
Want to improve appearance of baggy/tired-looking eyes - should I do CO2 Laser or blepharoplasty? (photo
Eyelids
Feb 9, 2022
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, I would suggest a lower lid blepharoplasty. Looking at your upper lids, an upper lid blepharoplasty or brow lift will help in taking away the hooded appearance of the upper eyelids. I suggest seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon in person to better assess your concerns and needs.
What kind of doctor to see for a facelift: a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon?
Facial Surgeon
Dec 28, 2021
Hello and thank you for your question. You want to look for a "Board Certified Plastic Surgeon" that specializes in facial procedures. I suggest finding a a few surgeons in your area to schedule a consultation with. Good luck!
Will fluctuating 10-20 pounds yearly ruin my lipo results?
Weight gain/loss after liposuction
Nov 18, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question. The answer is possibly. Every person distributes weight differently, so this will all depend on how your body distributes it's fat. Chances are likely you will distribute the weight in the same area as your last weight gain.
Liposuction for Saddle bags and love handles - good choice for me?
Saddle Bags
Oct 18, 2021
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photo's and age, you seem to be a good candidate for liposuction to help with your areas of concern. I suggest making an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to be seen in person for an examination.
When will it be safe to walk around and go places after tummy tuck?
Post Tummy/Rhinoplasty
Sep 7, 2021
Hello and thank you for your question. If you are doing just a Rhinoplasty, you are safe to walk around and have visitors the day after your procedure. If you are doing a Tummy Tuck as well, you want to wait at least 2 weeks before you do any walking around outside. Family and friends can visit you any time you are feeling comfortable to have company. As far as traveling on a plane, you want to wait at least 7-10 days. Two weeks would be best. Good luck with your upcoming procedure!
How can I get ready for the recovery process for a face, brow and eye surgery?
Surgery Recovery
Aug 17, 2021
Hello and thank you for your question. Eye irritation can sometimes occur after eye surgery. For our patients we suggest a saline eye wash solution, and lubricating eye ointment to be used at night. Have ice handy and gauze. You do not want to apply ice directly to your skin. Instead use a bowl with saline and ice. Dip the gauze into ice/water solution and apply to eyes. You will need to stay elevated after surgery. If you have a reclining chair, that would be the best place to sleep/recover...
How to get rid of c-section shelf without a tummy tuck?
C-Section area
Jul 13, 2021
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, liposuction and a scar revision may be a good option for you. Because you do keloid, that still may be and issue going forward. A scar revision may minimize that appearance. I suggest speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to address your concerns.
What's your advice regarding my upper eyelid surgery?
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Jun 10, 2021
Hello and thank you for your question. Upon viewing your photos, I suggest that a browlift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty would help correct your concerns. If these procedures are done expertly, the results would not feminize your face or create the "surprised look". The goal is to make you look as natual as possible. I would schedule a consultation with an accredited plastic surgeon. Good luck!
Would I benefit from an upper blepharoplasty on just one eye?
Eyelid
May 18, 2021
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photo, it looks like the muscular asymmetry of your eyebrow is causing a slight sag which causes the fold to appear. I suggest starting with Botox and see if that helps correct the issue.
Why do my eyes look unfocused and tired? How can this be fixed?
Eye Ptosis
Apr 22, 2021
Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you appear to have ptosis of your upper eyelids. Ptosis can be corrected with a surgical procedure. I suggest speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon.
