Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Looking for long-lasting lips, what are my options?
Lip augmentation
Oct 11, 2019
Thank you for your question.
The two main ways to enhance your lip are filler and autologous fat transfer. Filler is the mainstay of treatment because its easy, minimal side-effects and reversible if you dont like the results. The downside is that you have upkeep.
The other way is using your own fat that is harvested by liposuction and made into very thin particles that are then injected into your lips. Fat that survives this transfer process will last forever, however, not...
Is it possible for the nose to grow as a side effect of fillers and laser treatments? (Photos
nose growth after filler, botox and laser
Oct 11, 2019
Hello and thanks for the question.
Neither botox, filler or laser therapy will make sure nose grow.
In general, our nose grows as we age and sebaceous hyperplasia may develop to look with overal growth, especially in the nasal tip and nostril areas. Lasers can shrink many of the pores and good skin care can keep the glands from becoming clogged.
from the pictures, is does look like there has been relative facial aging, as your tear trough's have increased in depth and your cheeks have...
How long does Vollure last in marionette lines?
Vollure
Oct 11, 2019
Vollure is my favorite filler by far, very versatile and can be used almost anywhere with long-lasting results.
In general, any filler you use close to the mouth with dissolve faster than if you used the same filler elsewhere, but in general it has given my patients great results lasting 10 months or more.
Hope that helps!
Can Botox and dermal filler be injected into the crow’s feet/temples?
Botox and Filler in the same area at the same time
Oct 11, 2019
Fillers and botox perform completely different roles and actions. Fillers are great to improve upon areas of volume deficiency and to ease transitions from lets say your check to your upper lip (smile lines) or from your lower eyelid to your cheek (tear trough), or to just add volume to your temples, lips or cheeks.
Botox, paralyzes the muscle under the skin, therefore preventing the wrinkles from accentuating and getting worse over time.
I tell my patients that filler will instantly...
How Long Does Botox Last?
How long will Botox last
Oct 11, 2019
Simply put, you dont know how your body with metabolize the product until you try it. However, the average duration I have seen and heard from my patients are 3 months minimum and up to 6 months. During this time there will be a gentle return to baseline state (wrinkles before botox), so I recommend touch-up treatments every 4 months or so and not wait until it goes away completely.
Hope this helps!
Do you think I’ll need a tummy tuck too with my BBL?
Should I get a Tummy Tuck (TT)??
Aug 9, 2019
Thank you for your question and photos.
The short answer is yes, you would need a tummy tuck. The better answer is not now. As the other have stated, intra-abdominal fat aka fat around your organs, pushes your abdominal wall out creating the barrel shape. You could perform a tummy tuck but you would not like your results given the excess fat on the inside that cannot be removed via a tummy tuck. Only diet and exercise or bariatric surgery can effect that. Once...
22 yo w/ 485 cc. I have a tight body and good skin elasticity. Would my breasts look the same
After impant removal, would be breasts look like that did before augmentation?
Oct 13, 2018
Thank you for your question. Not everyone is the same, so the general answer is maybe but probably not exactly the same. However, specifically for your case, you are young and fit, which usually correlates with better skin quality or excellent elastic properties of your skin which are extremely important to the question you are asking. Once you remove the implants, the elastic properties of your skin determine how quickly and by how much your skin and breast tissue will...
Arm Lift Recovery
Downtime and scarring after an arm lift, brachioplasty
Aug 3, 2018
Scarring is very dependent on the amount and location of the excess tissue along your arm. Our goal as plastic surgeons is to remove all the excess skin while giving you the best and most subtle scar possible. If the excess skin extends to your elbow then that is the length the scar needs to be to remove this tissue. There are patients in which the excess skin is localized to the upper 1/3 of the arm and can be removed by a short-scar technique. A consultation with a...
Remove Fat and Loose Skin Under Arms
Loose skin and fat in armpit
Aug 3, 2018
Thank you for your question. The armpit aka axilla is a common location for accessory breast tissue. This is known as the tail of spence. Liposuction is a very common treatment modality for removing the excess tissue, however, just as in other areas of the body that are liposuctioned, it does not treat the overlying skin. What I mean by this is if the tissue is removed by liposuction but the overlying skin has lost its elasticity, it will not contract back to a...
Crepey Wrinkled Skin on the Inside of Arm
Excess arm skin and treatments
Aug 3, 2018
In the case of a athletic thin woman such as yourself, the most likely reason for your wrinkled skin is natural aging processes in which the consistency and volume of fat below your skin changes, losing its support to the overlying skin and thus leading to wrinkles. Your skin also loses its elasticity with aging, sun damage and genetic influences, preventing the natural recoil to compensate for loss of subcutaneous fat. There are many non-invasive means to tighten the skin such as...
What Would Cause my Breasts to Shrink?
What Would Cause my Breasts to Shrink?
Jul 31, 2018
There are several factors that may lead to this. Normal aging processes that effect skin elasticity, density (% of glandular tissue vs fat), weight gain or loss, pregnancy and genetics. As women age, their breast changes in that there is a higher percentage of fatty tissue compared to glandular tissue to that of a young women, the skin loses its elasticity and thus recoil, leading to drooping of the breast (ptosis). Large fluctuations in weight and aging will all cause...
How Do You Massage Breasts After Breast Augmentation?
Breast Massage after augmentation
Jul 31, 2018
I see my patients within a week after primary breast augmentation. At this time I have them come out of their surgical bras and start to wear sports bras. At this time I also initiate breast massage. I tell them to use an unscented moisturizer of their choice and to massage the breast in all directions, especially the lower pole of the breast, just above the IMF incision. I believe this will help reduce swelling and will help relax the muscle. This should be done...
Does Sucking and Pressing the Breast Increase the Size?
Does Sucking and Pressing the Breast Increase the Size?
Jul 31, 2018
Applying suction or pressing on the breast leads to engorgement through increased vascular flow to the tissues, along with the natural elasticity of the skin. This is only temporary and will return to baseline shortly after those external forces have stopped. This is the idea behind the BRAVA system that uses large suction cups to prepare the breasts for fat grafting. A consultation with a plastic surgeon can go over long-term option for breast augmentation. Hope that...
Normal Looking Breasts After Explant Surgery?
what to expect after breast implant removal
Jul 31, 2018
It is not uncommon for women with breast implants and have a baby to notice changes in their breasts. The degree of changes with depend on the location (subglandular vs submuscular) and the size of the implant. The aches and pain you are having in your left breast could also be the result of capsular contracture. If your implants/breasts are large, simply explanting them may leave you with a ptotic/drooping breast. You are young and I am assuming otherwise healthy, so...
How Much Does Breast Explantation Cost?
Cost and expectations of breast implant removal
Jul 31, 2018
This is not an uncommon question or scenario as women age. In general, the cost of any cosmetic procedure will depend on geographic location, costs of OR, Hospital, Anesthesia, surgeons fees and experience. Given this, a reasonable surgeons cost for simple explantation is $1,500-2,000. This is assuming you have no capsular contracture requiring capsulectomy, asymmetries needing correction, or a breast lift after removal of the implant. All these scenarios can increase...
