Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Age 42, strange mound of skin/fat, not interested in fillers as a fix

Face Bumps and Lumps
Nov 11, 2023

There are several types of facial bumps. Lipomas are benign fatty tumors and cysts are fluid filled sacs that are commonly excised with an external scar that usually fades with time. Lower cheek bulges may be related to excess buccal fat that could be removed from within the mouth in appropriate candidates.

Uneven eyelid and “crow’s foot” after upper blepharoplasty

Postop blepharoplasty eyelid healing
Nov 11, 2023

After blepharoplasty, like most cosmetic surgery procedures, it takes a least up to 6 months for swelling to subside and see the final results. Asymmetry in the eyelids in the early postop period; may be related to the swelling or due to underlying preoperative asymmetry. Appropriate follow up appointments with ones plastic surgeon should help answer the concerns.

Am I a candidate for eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery and browlift
Nov 11, 2023

Upper blepharoplasty removes the extra upper eyelid skin that causes hooding. In patients with low set eyebrows, often a brow lift is performed at the same time as upper eyelid surgery.
At times with an isolated upper blepharoplasty, the eyebrows could get lowered, therefore combining the two procedures can enhance the cosmetic results of the eye region.

Under eye hollows/bags and crepey skin

Lower eyelid bags and crepey skin
Nov 1, 2023

Lower eyelid bags are addressed with removing the excess orbital fat; at times this fat can be transferred into the tear trough to smooth the valleys. Crepey skin is carefully excised and often with a lid tightening procedure like a canthopexy. Blepharoplasty give much longer lasting results than fillers.

Do you think I will get a good result from Lipo360?

Lipo360
Nov 1, 2023

Lipo 360 you are removing the excess fat of the abdomen, flanks and back. Over several months, swelling subsides and the skin may contract in patients with good skin quality. Overhanging excess skin, muscle separation and bulge, stretch marks and poor skin quality are better treated with abdominoplasty excising the extra tissue but with longer scars. Tummy tuck is usually performed in patients with no plans for future pregnancy.

Would lipo and flexsculpt fix this?

Tummy tuck vs. abdominal liposuction
Nov 1, 2023

Tummy tuck vs. abdominal liposuction depends on several factors including skin quality, scars, diastasis recti and plans for future pregnancy.
In a tummy tuck, the excess skin and tissue is excised, muscle tightened and usually some liposuction for additional contouring.
Liposuction you are just removing the excess fat and with time the skin may contract. Bands or skin folds may persist or recur after liposuction.

How can I improve my eyes, I think from side they protrude too much?

Eye cheek contour
Nov 1, 2023

Some people have a prominent or protrusion of eye due to genetics; others related to the thyroid and should be medically worked up first.
Flatter cheeks can make eyes appear to be protruding. Filler is a good starting point but fat grafting may look more natural be longer laster. Fat is harvested by liposuction most commonly from the abdomen.

Tummy tuck without muscle repair. I know the result won't be perfectly flat, but how bad are we t

Tummy tuck without muscle repair
Aug 27, 2023

Not every abdominoplasty needs or wants muscle repair. If there is not a diastasis recti/ muscle separation, the muscle does not need to be tightened.
Patients that have lost massive weight especially prior to childbearing may only want the excess skin and tissue removed and not the muscle repaired- patients tend to be happy, as long as, they are realistic about the results that could be achieve.

Lower face lift suggestions for jaws and neck? Help I'm aging

Lower facelift
Aug 27, 2023

For aging neck and jawline, a facelift best addresses theses areas. There are several times of facelift techniques, some "less invasive" than others; this should be addressed at one's consultation.

Nonsurgical skin tightening with Sofwave will help define the jawline and may take more than one treatment with annual maintenance. Fillers will temporarily "lift" the cheek and can help contour/fill the jawline.

Is upper eyelid filler safe & effective? I'm 47 with hooded eyelids

Hooded eyelids
Aug 27, 2023

In general, the best treatment for hooded eyelids is a blepharoplasty removing the excess upper eyelid skin. Eyebrow sagging may also cause hooding of the upper eyelid; this can be address with brow lift, botox, and/or sofwave. Fat can be placed to restore the fullness as well; filler is used much less commonly.

C cup, 26, what size implant do I need? High profile or moderate?

Breast implant sizing
Aug 27, 2023

Breast implant sizing depends on one's breast base width, skin quality and cups size desired. A general rule is about 300cc for 2 cup size increases. A high profile give more projection, while a moderate or moderate plus is wider for the same volume implant. Implants may lift the breast my fulling out the shape, nothing lifts the breast as much as a breast lift.

Procedure to get rid of fat pockets on sides of mouth?

Options before a facelift
Jul 4, 2023

There are several options to lessen fat pockets near the corner of the mouth prior to a facelift. Fillers help restoring volume, improve wrinkles and depressions. Fillers may be placed directly in the depression to soften and camouflage the areas of concern. Cheek fillers or jawline fillers can help the with some "lifting". Nonsurgical skin tightening devices like Sofwave help stimulate collagen gradually and help with wrinkles and lifting.

Volume loss in the cheeks, dark circles appeared & nasolabial folds more pronounced. What to do?

Facial fat loss treatment options
Jul 4, 2023

There are several options for restoring facial volume loss including hyaluronic acid fillers (temporary), biostimulatory fillers, fat grafting and surgery.
With fat grating, a small area undergoes liposuction to harvest the fat then it's transferred to the face, At least a third of the fat transferred survives. There is also a biostimulatory fat injectable off the shelve Renuva that may have up to 70% take.
Surgery includes a cheek lift or facelift to reposition the cheek and help...

56, face is heavy on bottom, buccal fat removal, Botox and fillers or...?

Facelift and postop treatments
Jul 4, 2023

After a facelift, patients may still benefit from botox, fillers and other skin treatments. Botox of the masseter helps to slim the lower outer check in patients that have a hyperactive masseter muscle or grind their teeth. Filler to the malar upper check region helps with volume and asymmetry. Both botox and filler are temporary but a good starting point. Removing buccal fat is permanent and there is a risk of nerve injury with the procedure.

Bumpy and uneven liposuction results 1 year post op - will this resolve over time?

Liposuction results
Jul 4, 2023

Liposuction removes excess fat and then the skin gradually contracts. Liposuction in general doesn't correct cellulite and at times can make it more obvious. Some patients may benefit from a postop nonsurgical skin tightening ultrasound device like Sofwave for cellulite or radiofrequency devices.
Weight changes can affect the results of liposuction.
During liposuction, cannulas removed excess of fat. It takes 6-12 months for swelling to resolve and the skin to contract. Areas of excess...
