Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is a 450CC implant too big for my body? Also concerned about additional stretch marks
Breast enhancement
Jun 17, 2020
If you want increased upper pole fullness and an improvement in the torso at the same time performing a lift that shift the breast tissue and fold higher allows you to use a smaller implant and have improved aesthetics.
How many millimeters or centimeters can the areola be reduced in size with a donut lift?
Areola reduction with a donut lift or periareolar mastopexy
Mar 29, 2020
There is a range of 1-4 cms.  Normally taking up to 4cm around the circle creates flattening.  The skin excess can be addressed well with this technique.
Does Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar help reduce post-procedure downtime?
Alastin reduces redness after procedures
Dec 1, 2019
I use RSN with each Fractora and Morpheus8 microneedling treatment.  Since I perform Accutite, Facetite, Bodytite and EmbraceRF I am using the products more frequently in these cases as will.  It reduces any redness in just a few days. 
How is SmartGraft different from regular FUE?
SmartGraft is natural and permanent
Feb 21, 2019
I explain it as I would if I were protecting an organ transplant.  The Hair Follicle Unites are extracted in a contained system and protect from heat and the air which would dry them out.  The SmartGraft technology improves FUE survival this way.  That is why I use SmartGraft to provide the best option for my clients.
Do I need a breast lift? If so, would the periareolar lift be just fine?
Breast lift
Nov 17, 2018
I use periareolar lifts to manage skin excess. The skin can be tightened removed and tighten around the strips to give a more aesthetically balanced appearance. 
Follow-up: Is miraDry helpful for hyperhidrosis?
miraDry
Sep 30, 2018
MraDry used at level 5 if very effective in treating axillary hyperhidrosis. I would not treat with Botox do to the short duration and costs associated with Botox.
How long does it take for donor area to blend in with the rest of the hair?
SmartGraft FUE transplant
Sep 30, 2018
Using SmartGraft the donor site has 1mm areas where the hair follicle was removed.  These heal within 1 week.
How to prevent capsular contract after third redo for CC following prophylactic mastectomy?
Breast ReconstructionRevision
Sep 29, 2018
I would convert your reconstruction to an autologous reconstruction with a DIEP flap if possible.  this will remove the capsule and implant.
Is it possible to chose your breast size after implant removal?
Breast Implant Removal
Sep 29, 2018
Of course I cannot be sure without an in person consult but you a appear to have quite a bit of breast tissue so being a B may require additional breast surgery.
Help! Lift or implants first?
Breast lift and augmentation
Aug 31, 2018
You can stage them.  I did a breast lift and augmentation and revision tummy tuck yesterday.  For that patient who desire upper pole fullness the breast fold was elevated along with the breast.  This give the breast lift and augmentation combined with the tummy tuck the appearance of a longer torso and more desirable result to many of my clients.
40 days post op FUE hair transplant, scalp is dry and have dandruff. Can I use conditioner? (photo
FUE Hair Transplant
Aug 31, 2018
You can use normal shampoo and conditioner at this point.  I would not have any issues with that if you were my client.
Slightly raised temp one week after FaceTite. Concerned and anxious.
FaceTite
Aug 31, 2018
Inflammation from a procedure can lead to an increase in temp.  If the area is still swollen of tender then use of anti-inflammatories, ice and lymphatic massage can elp.
Would arm lipo and BodyTite give me a smaller looking arm?
BodyTite
Aug 31, 2018
I perform minimally invasive arm lifts using these techniques.  You are a candidate for the procedure.  I would use that method for you.
Is there non surgery treatment for modest sagging skin
Skin tightening
Aug 31, 2018
There are several ways using radiofrequency.  For larger areas like the abdomen we use Forma plus. There is a smaller forma treatment device for the face as well.
Just had Fractora RF and am scared to look at myself, is it normal to look like this after? (Photo
Fractora RF
Aug 31, 2018
That seems like you had some additional.  We use Alastin products to help reduce redness and swelling.
