Acne and scarring – what would help my skin?

Active Acne and Scarring
Nov 19, 2021

Hi- so sorry to hear you are suffering. For alot of people, acne needs more than just one approach to keep active acne at bay and help to prevent painful breakouts from occurring. Treatments also exist to help with scarring. Besides washes (unsure which washes you have tried as you have not specified) there are now many oral medications and topical creams specifically formulated for active acne that can be administered by a physician depending on what is causing you to break out. There are…

Would Kybella help flatten out my mouth corner fat?

Mouth Corner
Nov 16, 2021

Hi! thanks for your question! Kybella is only FDA approved for the removal of submental (chin/neck area) fat. That being said, I know alot of people do use it “off label” aka in other areas for fat reduction. It is pretty well discussed that the goal of the face is usually never to remove fat (except maybe a few areas such as buccal fat) because fat/volume loss or aging are huge contributors to what causes less than pleasing aesthetic outcomes in the face. That being said, you likely may…

Can you help with under eye/lateral rim filler gone wrong (moves and created bumpy look)?

Tear Trough Troubles
Nov 16, 2021

Thanks for this question! It’s actually a great one. Alot of debate is currently going on about filling this area. It is a highly vascular, highly lymphatic area and we are seeing more people have problems with filler in this area. Some physicians even are saying to avoid filling this area at all. That being said, some people also have terrific outcomes with filling this area. The reason (boiled down to basics) for both is 1- the filler used (only recommend regular Restylane in this area as…

What are the cause of eye bags?

Refreshing Eyes
Oct 22, 2021

Hi and thank you for your question! It does seem you have some fat pad protruding and if you know you suffer from allergies there definitely could be a combination issue going on as you do seem to have what are called “allergic shiners”. Getting your allergies under control and possibly a lower blepharoplasty would help you look refreshed if that is what you are looking for. I would avoid filling this area as it might make your eyes look worse. You have beautiful eyes! I hope this helps-Dr….

What caused my lip filler shadow?

Lip Filler Shadow
Oct 21, 2021

Hello and thank you for submitting this question. It seems the filler has migrated outside of the lips and that is what you are seeing in terms of the shadow. I do recommend that if this continues to be an issue for you that you get get it dissolved if it is a hyaluronic acid based filler (which it hopefully is!). Getting more filler injected in this area without dissolving some first will likely cause this to worsen beyond just a shadow and result in some less than aesthetically pleasing…

Hyperpigmentation concern for ethnic skin. What could I do to improve this?

Hyperpigmentation
Jul 23, 2021

Sorry to hear your frustration! Hyperpigmentation can be hard to treat. Often multiple treatments and different approaches need to be used to get optimal results, including a series of peels, skin brighteners with formulas that are compounded by pharmacies specifically for your skin needs, a series of laser treatments series etc. Try your best to use sunblock with an SPF 30 or higher and cover the area from sun with proper protective clothing. Good luck and I hope this helps!

I am a 32 year old female. Downturned mouth corners Is there anything I can do to lift the downturned

Downturned smile
Jun 18, 2021

This can be fixed two ways, both are generally off label use- one is through a neuromodulator (like botox or dysport) injected into the muscles that cause this contraction (to relax the muscle) and the other is filler injected as suggested by your physician. Sometimes a combination approach yields the best result. Note that these things occur as we age and tend to get worse so being proactive is great. best of luck!-Dr. Misra
