Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I had a BA 3 weeks ago. My R breast has a pretty significant squeak. Will this resolve and how long
Implant squeaking
Feb 3, 2017
During surgery, air gets into the pocket around the implants. This can cause a squeaking noise or a "rice crispie" feel to the skin in the upper chest. This will go away as the body resorbs the air. With saline implants, there can be air in the implant if it was not all sucked out at the time of implantation. This air will also be resorbed, but it takes longer.
Losing weight before surgery?
Wt loss before abdominoplasty
Jan 20, 2017
Great question. There are two parts to your body's fat: the visceral fat around the intestines and the subcutaneous part under the skin. The subcutaneous fat will be used for fat transfer, and this fat usually is the last to go when you lose wt., so don't worry about not having enough fat for the BBL. The visceral fat is inside your abdomen, and pushing the abdominal muscles out. Having less of this fat makes it easier to tighten your stomach muscle and get a...
Can a "liquid lift" generally done with voluma or radiesse also be done with good results using a f
Liquid facelift vs fat grafting
Jan 9, 2017
Fat grafting is a wonderful and long-lasting alternative to filler - it brings in new blood flow and the fat that survives will be there forever. Fat is soft, however, and therefore best suited to filling the hollows under the eyes and in the cheek area. Although it can give some improvement over the zygoma or in other areas where increased projection is desired, the fillers with high Gprime (stiffer) like Voluma and Radiesse are ideally suited to this goal, and have a...
Do doctors have to pre-order the length of the Permalip implant?
Lip Implant sizing
Jan 9, 2017
There are currently 9 sizes of implants, with 3,4, and 5 mm widths and 55,60, and 65 mm lengths. You can help your doctor by sending a photo of your lips with a measuring tape over the mouth: this will help to determine the length. As regards width, the 3 mm are extremely natural - you will forget that you have them in. The 4 mm are slightly stiff, but also quite natural. In our experience, the 5 mm implants feel a bit stiff, and while they give the most volume,...
Would an areola reduction also help the droopiness even slightly?
Areola Reduction
Jan 9, 2017
Reducing the size of the areola would give some lift effect, but would also flatten the front of the breast some, as noted by Dr. Hughes. You might also consider a standard breast lift, which would give a better breast shape, and would also reduce the size of the areola.
32 years old and 11s. Will Botox help?
Botox for "11" lines in between the brows
Jan 9, 2017
Botox can help in two ways. First, it will relax the muscle that makes the lines deeper. That will make this area look more relaxed and you will not be able to scowl and won't be able to make the expression that we call "stink eye" in Hawaii. Initially, the lines will not be improved at rest, but amazingly, over time the body will smooth out these ironed-in wrinkles and they will improve. This process takes time - typically about a year - so...
Botax injection
Bunny Nose
Jan 9, 2017
This is a great area to treat with Botox. The lines you don't like are called "bunny nose" because they come from wrinkling your nose up like a rabbit. The botox will last about 3 months, but the wrinkles usually take longer than that to return because the muscles are out of shape from lack of use - our patients usually don't need to have this area retreated for a year or even longer.
Am I supposed to massage or stretch my lips after having PermaLip implants?
Lip implant massage
Jun 8, 2015
The lip implants massage themselves when you talk, eat, smile, frown, etc., and this is usually enough to keep the capsule that forms around them from contracting. Everyone is different, however, so ask your surgeon if you need to do this - you may be particularly prone to capsule contracture.
Is Permalip safe?
Permalip safety
Jun 8, 2015
Permalip implants are quite safe, and are well tolerated. Sometimes patients even forget that they have them, particularly with the smallest size (3 mm). They give long-lasting augmentation of the lip size.
