Answer Snippet
On day 7 I had no movement, now I'm on day 11 and my 11's are back. Did it wear off that quickly
May need a touch up on Dysport
Oct 5, 2017
Dysport units are measured differently from Botox. We use a 2.5-to-1 ratio, so we inject 50 units of Dysport into an area where we would have used 20 units of Botox. 25 units of Dysport is a very small amount and may be helpful for a touch up treatment . When using Dysport the 11's or the glabella, on average uses around 50 units. I suggest calling your provider to have you come in for a touch up.
Time to wait post breast augmentation before I can perform massage therapy?
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Oct 5, 2017
Great questions most women can resume full activities by 4- 6 weeks, this includes exercise. If you massage course doesn't start for another 9-10 weeks you should be fine. I do suggest asking your doctor for a lymphatic massage after your treatment. This will help with your recovery time and your range of motion. .

Tattoo Removal
Oct 2, 2017
Our tattoo removal laser works by fragmenting the ink in the tattoo so that the body carries it away in the lymphatic system. Our Picosure laser fragments the ink into sugar particles and is the fastest tattoo laser in the world. Sessions required depends on the size of the are, the colors in the tattoo, and the placement of the tattoo. 6 session are recommend and the cost varies from $2500-$3500. Or you can pay as you go and that would be $450-$700 per session. Again this is based on the...
Can I use Latisse after my microbladed eyebrows have healed?
Latisse
Sep 25, 2017
Hi Risa0011,
Latisse® is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough lashes) to grow eyelashes longer, fuller, darker. If you are looking to use Latisse for your eyelashes, then yes you can use the product after your Microblading is finished. However, Latisse is not made to help grow your eyebrows. It is only FDA-approved treatment to grow eyelashes.
Should I wait to get a breast augmentation?
Breast Augmentation
Sep 22, 2017
Hi Takeheart513,
If you are considering having another child and wanting Breast Augmentation, I always tell my patients to wait. You never know how your body is going to change after having a child, you could become loose, which will cause you to need a revision. Good Luck!

Breast Lift with Implant Placement at same time
Jun 7, 2017
Thank you for this wonderful question! I will, at times, suggest a breast lift followed by insertion of implants to be completed with two surgeries if there is a concern regarding skin elasticity and degree of lift that needs to be completed. This is suggested primarily for my patients who have experienced extreme weight loss. With this in mind a majority of my breast lift with implant placement procedures are completed at the same time. I have always recommended a second opinion for any...
Are there any reliable stretch mark removal laser procedures?
Stretch mark removal options
May 24, 2017
Thank you for this wonderful question! There is finally a treatment offered for at home use that
is FDA proven to reduce the appearance of stretchmarks. I have been using this
treatment for over the past year with wonderful results for my patients. The
Strialite works by utilizing LED at a cellular level to stimulate your own
collagen production which in turn reduces the appearance of stretchmarks.

Yes, there are options for resurfacing the dermal area as well as excising the

What compression do you need for a breast reduction and lift?
Compression garments following Breast Reduction
May 24, 2017
Thank you for this wonderful question! I typically will provide a compression garment much like a sport bra which fastens in the front. My patients are measured in order to insure a snug and supportive fit providing compression to help control swelling. It is important to understand that the garment should not be uncomfortably tight as this has the potential to compromised circulation. I suggest following up with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon as he/she may have a preferred...

Socializing following Rhinoplasty
May 17, 2017
Thank you for this great question and let me first say congratulations! With any rhinoplasty procedure I always discuss with my patients the importance of downtime for the first 7-10 days allowing for swelling and bruising to start to subside as well as splint removal. Refraining from bending over for extended periods of time or straining for the following 2-3 weeks will help reduce swelling as well. I always encourage everyone to follow up with their Board Certified...
