Answer Snippet
Can you have Smart Lipo done on your abs if you have stretch marks and will the result be good or wil
Unfortunately probably not
Aug 26, 2016
Good morning Sharon! Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, stretch marks are still one of the most problematic issues that people have as far as effective treatments go. SmartLipo simply will not change them for the better. As far as the remainder of your question, there is not a good way to answer without some photos which can never substitute for a physical examination in providing the correct treatment plan for the individual. It does sound like perhaps a tummy tuck might be in the…
What is a more permanent fix to these under eye bags when I smile? I’m 23 years old.
Patients would LOVE your eyes!
Aug 23, 2016
Good morning Ariel.You have beautiful eyes that most people would love to have! When you smile, your orbicularis oculi muscle contracts (everyone’s does), and this is what is creating the small area of fullness under your lashes. It is actually a beautiful sign of youthful lower eyelids. I would urge you to embrace this sign of youth (I know it may be difficult for you to see it that way) as you live in your youth. I’d steer you away from doing anything about it, because the…
I would like to know the price to remove the eye bags?
The bags can be removed
Aug 23, 2016
Good morning Yuso from a former Austinite,Bags under the eyes such as yours come from fat that exists in everyone’s orbits slowly pushing forward from the weight of the eyeball and weakening of the connective tissue within the orbit which holds it in place and weakening of a membrane under the eyelid skin.It is a very common sign of aging that typically begins in the mid-to-late 30s and 40s.Eyelid surgery is also a very common procedure that can remove some of the fat that is pushing forward…
Is laser lipo a good instrument too smooth out liposuction irregularities? Anyone here with experienc
Laser Lipolysis would be a good part of correction
Aug 23, 2016
Hello,Laser lipolysis would be a part of the treatment regimen for smoothing the contour irregularities in your photo, along with conservative liposuction utilizing small diameter liposuction cannula. Of course, making a definitive treatment plan would involve a detailed face-to-face evaluation in order to examine the area to make sure that the plan would be right for you in this specific case.Good luck,Dr Farias
I have dark spots under my eyes; will laser help remove my dark spots under my eyes?
As you might expect when you ask a question of a physician, It Depends
Aug 18, 2016
Hello Claudia,”Dark Circles” can be due to so many things, that it’s imperative to have a consultation to determine what is best for you, Even FaceTime can fail to show the true nature of one’s dark circles. I continue to try and help people for convenience-sake through FaceTime Consultations, but invariably we end up meeting face-to-face at our office.It all depends on several factors. For melasma and other hyperpigmentation, a micro-peel with a fractionated CO2 laser (first with a…
