Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How long can it take to completely heal from lower lid blepharoplasty?
Lower lid Swelling
Aug 5, 2015
Of the many cosmetic procedures done on the face, lower lid surgery probably takes the longest to get back to normal. Swelling for 5 months is certainly not unheard of, but when you follow up with your surgeon he/she may want to go through your medical history again to rule out other reasons for swelling of the eyelids. Certain thyroid problems, rosacea, other sources of inflammation may all cause eyelid swelling. There may be a need to consider a trial of steroids as...
How bad will the scar be ? Should I consider a revision ?
Open wound after a facelift
Aug 5, 2015
The area that has opened frequently has problems with healing. In general your surgeon will instruct you on how to take care of the wound. While it looks bad now in time it will improve. Once it heals if the scar is not acceptable there are generally ways to improve it.
Breast augmentation cost?
Breast augmentation cost varies greatly depending on several factors
May 11, 2009
One of the biggest factors affecting the cost of surgery is geographic location. When looking at cost in areas like Manhattan this is not always a good means of camparison. this is one of the most expensive cities in the world, and everything costs more there. In a smaller city or suburban area the cost may be quite diffierent.
If you are trying to get a good idea of the reasonable cost for an augment I would suggest that you call some of the board certified plastic surgeons in your...
Am I a good candidate for a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty surgery?
I would remain conservative at this point
May 11, 2009
I would be hard pressed to recommend surgery on the picture that you have shown. While you do see a bit more puffiness and a tired look in the eyes, you may not be ready for surgery. One thing that you could consider is the use of Botox. Botox can sometimes give temporary brow elevation. This may give you an indication as to whether brow elevation is what you need or not. If it turns out that you don't like the change it will go away in a few months.
Of course, these issues should...
Ripping of Breast Tissue normal after breast augmentation?
Don't rush back to surgery
May 11, 2009
Just after surgery there are many reasons to have severe ripping type pain. Remember that the tissue planes had to be separated to insert the implant. Pain is not necessarily an indicator of a complication. The reasons that would require immediate surgery are generally quite obvious. If the appearance of your breasts are good, and your surgeon cannot detect any problems with the operation, this is a pretty good indication that the pain you feel will resolve. To ease your mind further, you...
What should I look for in breast augmentation before and after photos?
What to look for depends on what you are trying to learn
May 11, 2009
I am not a big proponent of pre and post op photos for breast augmentation. I feel that photos, while very interesting, can be potentially misleading. That being said, all of my breast augment patients want to see them. If you are trying to gain some insight into the skills of the surgeon, there are several things to look for.
One of the most important things to look for is symmetry in the final result. Look carefully at the pre-operative photos and look at how symmetrical or asymmetrical...
Flabbier stomach after Tummy Tuck and Liposuction
Tummy tucks generally look tighter right after surgery
May 11, 2009
It is difficult to give you an exact answer without seeing your pre- and post- operative photos. In general, you will generally appear tighter and certainly feel tighter right after surgery. The surgery will cause a significant amount of swelling in the the abdominal area. This swelling will cause an increase in volume under the skin which in turn makes the skin feel and look very tight.
Also, in a tummy tuck, the abdominal wall is tightened, and just after surgery this will have a sense...
How painful is eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) is generally well tolerated
May 11, 2009
Eyelid surgery is one of those operations that generally look more painful then it really is. Eyelid surgery is commonly done under local anesthesia. In fact, I do more blepharoplasties under local then under general anesthesia. Pain tolerance is also improved if some form of sedation is given along with the local anesthesia. The sedation can be oral or by IV. The upper lids are particularly well tolerated under local anesthesia. The lower lids generally have much more dissection associated...
What will happen to my breasts if I remove my implants?
Your breasts should look relatively normal after implant removal
May 11, 2009
It is certainly a great worry for most patients that are removing implants that their breasts will look deformed. It has been my experience that even after many years of having implants, the breasts look normal upon removing the implants. The breasts may not look the same as before, but more likely than not they should look normal. This is particularly true in your situation since the implants have only been in for 7 months. If you did not require a lift prior to your augmentation it is...
Rhinoplasty advice?
Rhinoplasty for a wide nose
May 5, 2009
Your problems is not an uncommon one, but difficult to answer without further information. In general though, one can make a large nose smaller with rhinoplasty, but not necessarily small. A profile image would be great to see, but most likely you would need attention to the nasal bones which would need to be "cut" and moved to make the nose more narrow. Along with this the cartilage that makes up the tip would need to be re-modeled to a more narrow and perhaps less projecting...
