Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I had a breast augmentation and size is too small, can I do fat transfer to increase size?
A variety of options
Nov 13, 2023
Hello there,
This is a great question! Fat transfer can do wonders for increasing volume with a natural look and feel if you choose an experienced provider. This is an option for you, as well as replacing your implants for a larger size. An in-person consultation would be best to explore the options and what would be best for you and your anatomy.
Best, Dr. Tanovic
Am I a candidate for fat transfer?
Fat transfer to breasts
Nov 13, 2023
Hello,
This is a great question! Fat transfer to the breasts is a great way to improve volume loss with a resulting natural look and feel to provide the cleavage and look you desire! Combining a breast lift with fat transfer can restore a youthful shape. An in-person consultation is required to explain the procedure in detail and in terms of your own anatomy.
Best,Dr. Tanovic
Could fat be transferred from my stomach to my breasts to make them fuller?
Fat transfer to breasts
Nov 13, 2023
Hello there!
This is a great question! Fat transfer aka fat grafting to the breasts is a great way to replace volume without implant placement. It may be a great option for you for the sole purpose of restoring the volume you once had. If fat is suctioned, prepared, and placed properly by an experienced provider, you will not look deformed, lumpy, or unnatural. An in-person consultation would be required to best explain the procedure, examine your anatomy, go into more detail, and highlight...
Is there anything I can do about the way my breasts look?
Some options
Nov 13, 2023
Hello there,
This is a great question! An in person consultation is required to go into detail about possible options for you. Implant placement can be an option, but what may make more sense for you may be a revision of your breast lift with nipple/areola revision.
Best,Dr. Tanovic
Light smoking before mastectomy/reconstruction?
Smoking prior to surgery
Nov 13, 2023
Hello!
This is a great question. The reason why we stress the importance of quitting all forms of smoking prior to and after any procedure is for wound healing purposes. In my practice, I have observed that there is a higher rate of healing poorly after a procedure, and there can be higher rates of complications.
Best,Dr. Tanovic
Can I have another breast lift in the future if needed?
Yes!
Nov 13, 2023
Hello there!
This is a great question. Pregnancy can affect breasts, as well as breastfeeding. Generally speaking, a breast lift procedure can be done again in the future if needed. Surgeons typically try to use the same incisions as the original procedure, but this can vary from surgeon to surgeon.
Best,Dr. Tanovic
What can I do to help with lower face/jowls?
Many treatments can help!
Nov 7, 2023
Hello!
This is a common concern for many, and luckily we have many treatment options for this! In my practice, I have had great results with RF Microneedling to help tighten the skin and reduce the jowling. Another great option for the chin and neck is to inject with Botox to help reduce the downward pulling of the muscles, and help lift the upper face. Chin filler combined with cheek filler placed strategically can help to give that face shape you are looking for.
We have many treatment...
How many units should I expect to recieve? 28 y/o female
Botox
Nov 7, 2023
Hello,
This is a great question! You are young, and have begun preventatively getting toxin injections for prevention. While 50 units is under the FDA approved dose of 64 units in the upper face, it is still up there and can leave you feeling very frozen after treatment. Whether you continue with Botox or begin Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau, you will still feel that frozen since 50 units is a large amount for a 28 year old with few lines.
For you, I would begin with less units, have you follow...
Would Botox in the neck area help with aging skin? 45 y/o
Multi-modal approach
Nov 7, 2023
Hello!
This is a great question. In my practice, I have found that the best way to help prevent the aging neck is to combine many modalities. If you are looking for non-invasive options, Botox can really do wonders. We can also combine collagen stimulating modalities, such as microneedling and laser skin resurfacing to help tighten the skin. Another great option is UlTherapy for lifting/tightening.
What procedures and treatments could restore balance and a youthful glow to my face?
Cumulative treatments yield the best results
Nov 7, 2023
Hello!
You have a great question! The answer is very multi-leveled and comprehensive, as your list of concerns touches upon different things. There are many treatment options for all of your concerns!
To start, we can first touch upon the skin itself. Restoring collagen is a huge factor in preserving youthful, healthy skin, so we do this with microneedling & laser skin resurfacing. 27 is a great age to begin. Microneedling can help slightly tighten the skin, as well as rejuvenate the skin....
Should you allow Botox/Dysport dissipate before having laser?
Hi!
Nov 7, 2023
Hello,
In my practice of 30+ years, I have found that non-invasive treatments work in combination with each other to provide the best results possible! I would always recommend combining different treatments with each other, since they all work differently. For example, fillers FILL volume loss, botox helps with wrinkles, and lasers/microneedling work on the skin itself. I would, however, recommend that you do wait 2 weeks in between sessions of botox and filler to do any skin rejuvenation...
What will help this bumpy, shrivelled-looking skin texture?
Many treatment options!
Nov 7, 2023
Hello,
From what I can gather from the photos you have provided, the skin texture seems to be scarring from acne. For this, there are many treatment options that may help improve the appearance. These range from light to deep chemical peels, microneedling with SkinPen, microneedling with radiofrequency, laser skin resurfacing, and more.
An in-person consultation would be ideal for evaluating and treating you in the best way possible, but my recommendations based off this photo are as...
Will laser acne treatment also remove or affect hair growth?
Laser acne treatments will not affect hair
Nov 7, 2023
Hello,
This is a great question. Laser treatment for the reduction of acne has no effect on the hair follicle, as the target of the laser is not the hair follicle.
Best,Dr. Tanovic
Would Velashape II (6 sesssions) or Velashape III (3 sessions) be better for me?
More treatments better results
Nov 7, 2023
Hello!
Velashape uses heat, massage, LED light, and radiofrequency to reduce cellulite. I would recommend more sessions that are shorter in time, therefore 6 sessions of 30 mins each; increasing the number of sessions to maintain results that last!
When can I get Velashape 3 after Pfizer covid booster?
You may
Nov 7, 2023
Velashape post-Pfizer vaccine would not interfere with either the vaccine or the Velashape. Therefore, you may get Velashape done!
