Answer Snippet
Can I have Phenol Peel by its self without It being mixed with croton oil?
Phenol peel with and without croton oil
Mar 15, 2021
Dear tantansansan,The name "phenol peel" is confusing because all phenol peels contain croton oil. Years ago, it was thought that phenol was the peeling agent, but it has been clearly shown that phenol without croton oil does not peel. The depth of the peel depends mainly on the concentration of the croton oil and the application technique.
The skin of the face is different than elsewhere because it is relatively thicker and has a high proportion of sweat glands and hair follicles. This is...
Does skin lose its elasticity after a true Phenol Peel? Does it eliminate black heads?
Phenol peel and skin elasticity
Mar 15, 2021
Hidden Beauty1996,You pose good questions and also have some misconceptions. Let's take it piece by piece. Phenol (phenol/croton oil) peels are indeed deep peels, but it should never be full-thickness as that would creat a scar. These peels create an injury that brings about a healing reaction that results in new, very stable, and thick collagen. It also results in new elastin cells, the springy part of the skin. The net effect is thicker skin with increased elasticity! This is in essence...
Any doctors experienced in phenol peel for hispanic skin?
Phenol peel for Hispanic skin
Mar 15, 2021
Dear yreutishi223,Thank you for your question as it is an important one and also a source of some confusion. You mention a phenol peel, but most likely you mean a phenol/croton oil peel. These peels began being used by doctors in the early 60's and the formula used consistently left the skin hypopigmented, that is an unnatural white. For this reason, it was taught and practiced that you could not peel darker skin.
In early 2000, thanks to the work of Gregory Hetter, it became understood that...

Modified Phenol peel results
Mar 14, 2021
Dear 7878x,I think it is much too early after your peel to make any judgements on the result. I am a very experienced peeler and it appears to me that you have had a significantly deep peel. An experienced peeler will treat the skin to the appropriate depth for a good clinical result but it is more important to go to a safe depth. Once that is reached, the skin is allowed to heal and then if a re-peeling is called for it can be done. If you peel too deep, and there is scarring, this is much...
What are the effects of a Phenol peel on a facelift scar?
Phenol peel and facelift scar.
Mar 14, 2021
Dear extraoneoneone,Why would you be getting a peel if you've had a facelift? Because a facelift does nothing to improve the quality of the skin! More specifically, a facelift does absolutely nothing to improve the wrinkles around the mouth. Sometimes, the general improvements of the facelift bring the pronounced wrinkles around the mouth into greater prominence ruining the result. A facelift improves the structure of the face and the peel improves the quality of the skin and dramatically...
What order to do lip lift and phenol peel?
Lip lift and Phenol peel
Mar 14, 2021
Dear beautyaddict182First of all, I am glad you are having these procedures because they both give very nice results. By phenol peel, I presume you mean a phenol/croton oil , which is the modern version. Properly done, the peel can give dramatic improvement of the lips that no other technique can reproduce. The lip lift shortens the height of the upper lip leaving a more naturally youthful appearance.
I have been peeling for 20 years, and in my experience a lip lift and lip peel can be done...
Are phenol peels still a thing or are there better procedures for under eye wrinkles?
Phenol/Croton oil Peels are excellent for the lower lid skin
Mar 14, 2021
Dear Noonnie,I am very glad you asked this question because Phenol peels (more correctly called Phenol/Croton Oil peels) are great for smoothing out lower lid wrinkles and crepey skin. Changes in the skin of the lower lid are often the first signs of aging, especially in the thinner skin of women. This is a great annoyance to patients and all of the over the counter eye creams do nothing! Worse is to make the mistake of operating on the lids when there is no real excess of skin rather than...
Is it possible to use a phenol/croton oil peel on the lips to remove wrinkles?
Phenol/Croton oil Peels are excellent for the lips
Mar 14, 2021
Phenol/Croton Oil peels are a remarkable process that bring about a healing reaction that results in thick, stable collagen and elastin (the springy cells of the skin). This is in essence younger skin without the lifeless look of sun damage and greatly improve, if not erased wrinkles. When the whole face is peeled, There is shrinking of the skin with a shortening of the upper lip which is very rejuvenating. These peels bring about a fundamental enhancement of the skin that no surgery or...
Is drainless tummy tuck better than a regular?
Drainless Tummy Tuck is Better!
Mar 13, 2021
Dear ohsofoxy, I have been a board certified plastic surgeon for over 30 years and have performed many tummy tucks both with and without drains. I am a HUGE fan of the drainless technique which I have practiced exclusively for the past 13 years. Patients hate drains. the reason I even had the desire to try a drainless technique was because I had a patient come to me begging me not to use drains. The patient did wonderfully well and I've never looked back. An extra step is required using...
Are drainless tummy tucks safe?
Drainless Tummy Tucks Are Safe!!!
Mar 13, 2021
Dear Humorous5708, Drainless Tummy Tucks are the way to go! This modern technique uses special quilting sutures that close the "dead space" under the abdominal skin to help prevent fluid collections after surgery, avoiding the need for drains! We surgeons take drains for granted, but the simple fact is that patients HATE THE DRAINS, can't stand to look at these ugly tubes coming out of them, and the irony is that sometimes when the drains are pulled after a week, the patients collect fluid...
Should I do drainless TT or utilize a provider that always uses drains?
Drainless and Painless Tummy Tuck is the way to go!
Mar 13, 2021
Dear Islandgirl74, let me tell you my personal journey in this area. I am a board certified plastic surgeon with many years of experience and I, as well as probably all of my colleagues, was drained to use drains during breast surgery and abdominoplasty. I quickly learned, that drains in the breast did nothing but annoy the patient and I stopped using them long ago. Nonetheless, I still used them in abdominoplasties because it seemed logical that you needed to drain fluid that collected. I...
Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck and liposuction?
You would look great with a Tummy Tuck surgery!
Mar 13, 2021
Dear Canhale, you would look great with a tummy tuck surgery at this point! Many surgeons would prefer you to be at your optimal weight for surgery, but looking at your photographs I think it would be fine to operate at this point. If you lose more weight after the surgery you will enhance the results. I also believe that you will feel better about the way you look after your surgery and it will motivate you to continue to work towards your weight loss goals. Whether to do the breast...
Would a tummy tuck achieve a flatter stomach?
If your weight is stable, it is a good time consider a Tummy Tuck!
Mar 13, 2021
Dear ashns1029, first of all congratulations on your weight loss! Because of your pregnancies, especially your twins, the skin and muscles of the abdomen get damaged and will not return to your pre-pregnancy state. Now that you are left with the excess skin, surgical removal is the only answer. I expect after tummy tuck surgery, you will experience a dramatic change to your entire torso that you will be very happy with. The abdominal muscles will be repaired and the majority of skin below...

Consider MATFAS "Modern Anesthesia Technique for Aesthetic Surgery" for your Tummy Tuck Surgery!
Mar 13, 2021
Dear envvymeshh, I am excited to answer this question as this is a topic I feel very passionate about. The answer I am going to give you is somewhat controversial because it runs against the grain. You may have read that a Tummy Tuck is a very painful operation and among plastic surgical operations, it carries increased risk. The reason for this is that the majority of plastic surgeons perform this surgery with "endo-tracheal intubation" (a breathing tube placed in the wind pipe) and the...
Are there any other procedures recommended to achieve this?
A Tummy Tuck is the answer!
Mar 13, 2021
Dear Angela52087, don't be discouraged! There are many great plastic surgeons in Texas that can provide you with an excellent result from a Tummy Tuck! Looking at the anatomical changes that have resulted from your pregnancies and comparing with your pre-pregnancy photo I think a Tummy Tuck is the best procedure for a complete result. A tummy tuck will dramatically improve your entire torso including tightening the abdominal muscles that have separated during pregnancy. I prefer the...
