Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Am I considered a good candidate for upper arm lipo?
arm lipo
Apr 14, 2020
From your photographs, it appears as if you could benefit from liposuction, especially if it is combined with J plasma skin tightening. I have performed many of these procedures, and the combination of J Plasma skin tightening with liposuction has provided my patients with results very similar to a traditional arm lift without any visible scarring.
Follow-up: 18-year-old, size DD, saggy and wide apart breasts, what's the best surgery in my case?
Your best solution is a breast reduction
Apr 11, 2020
There are many benefits you can get from a breast reduction (which includes a lift as part of the procedure). Your breasts will be higher, closer together, sexier, and probably more symmetrical. You may also get relief from back, neck and shoulder pain, and should find it easier to exercise. Modern reduction techniques can be done with minimal scarring, little to no post operative pain, and without the need for general anesthesia. Good luck to you.
When and how much arnica and bromelain should I use before a facelift with fat grafting?
Arnica/Bromelain before Facelift
Aug 10, 2017
It is best to consult with your surgeon and their recommendations.
I advise my patients to commence taking Bromelain 2 weeks prior to surgery and to continue to take it 2 weeks after surgery. It is not required to take. Bromelain is a pineapple extract that helps minimize bruising and speeds the recovery.
Facelift Recovery
Facelift recovery
Aug 9, 2017
Your recovery will depend greatly on your surgeon. It is very important you choose a board certified plastic surgeon with years of experience and a specialist in facelifts. I have patients that return to work 5 days post-op. Swelling and bruising will depend on the patient. At about 7-10 days you may feel comfortable to return to work.
How Long Do I Have to Sleep on my Back After Breast Augmentation?
Sleeping position after a Breast Augmentation
Aug 9, 2017
It is recommended to sleep elevated, 2-3 pillows behind you, for 3-5 days. You should try to avoid sleeping on your stomach. Sleeping on your stomach can cause problems down the road such as implants shifting laterally.
I'm very swollen from Lipo and the swelling won't go down. I'm getting bigger. What can I do about
Swelling post liposuction
Dec 13, 2016
Swelling and bruising following liposuction is common. You will find that your swelling may fluctuate. We recommend to our patients to wear their compression garment as much as for the first 2 weeks and 12 hours a day for the last 2 weeks. Icing will also help reduce swelling and bruising. If you are concerned, I recommend contacting your surgeon so they may evaluate you and provide the best course of action.
Is it possible to remove cheek implants at same time as face lift?
Removing ckeek implants during a facelift
May 11, 2015
This would be an ideal time to remove your cheek Implants. Make sure your surgeon has a plan to maintain the volume in your midfacial region.
Ears look unnatural after facelift - can you explain why and can it be corrected? Is there a name
Earlobe positioning after a facelift
May 11, 2015
It's a very simple procedure to correct earlobe position if they are altered after a facelift. Your surgeon will probably want to wait several months after the procedure before he corrects your complaint.
