Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Suddenly noticed strange dents in my forehead from Botox. Would a forehead lift fix this?
Botox
Aug 16, 2018
Irregularities of this type related to Botox are uncommonWhen the Botox wears off this should disappearAlso suggest that you should contact the physician who injected the Botox
1 Day Post Lip Augmentation: Partial and Uneven Swelling
Lip Enhancement
Aug 10, 2018
Lips are very sensitive so swelling can occur after injection of fillers.  To start suggest no hot liquids until the swelling decreases.  If the asymmetry were to persist after the swelling resolves a hyaluronic acid gel filler can be dissolved with injection of hyaluronidase.  This can reduce or remove the filler.
What is the best treatment for my acne scars?
Acne Scars
Aug 10, 2018
Suggest treatment with a fractional CO2 laser and an Erbium:YAG laser.  These can often be performed during the same session.  Even with this regimen the acne scars will not be completely eliminated.  Usually it takes a few days for the initial recovery.  As this treatment stimulates neocollagen production the scars will continue to improve for up to six months after the treatment.
Is it okay to use tap water to wash your face after fractional CO2 laser?
Fractional Laser Treatment
Aug 10, 2018
We too use a mixture of white vinegar and water after fractional laser treatment.It's best to use the mixture recommended by your physician.Typically there is a very quick recovery after this procedure.  If we treat someone on a Thursday afternoon they are usually back at work on Monday.  For someone who cannot take any time off work we recommend microneedle radiofrequency.  After this procedure most patients can return to their regular activities the following day.
Does hyalase usually revert swelling/edema associated with filler injections? Or should I undergo loca
Restylane Lyft
Aug 10, 2018
Suggest treatment with Hyaluronidase.  Typically the "bump" will start to improve within 15 minutes of injection.  Do not favor "aspiration."  Many physicians will do a skin test to check for possible allergy to hyaluronidase before injecting it into your bump.
What’s the best course of action for these under-eye bunches?
Restylane Eyes
Aug 10, 2018
You have a common problem with your lower eyelidsA combination of surgery and a filler may be best.However most likely you will have a noticeable improvement with some Restylane.As these types of filler injections are close to the eye and other important structures recommend that this should only be performed by a physician with experience treating this issue.  
Deep acne scars, is there anything I can do? Will the DeepFX or the standard FX Laser work?
Acne Scar Treatment
Aug 9, 2018
Acne scars require a series of treatments.  With these a good improvement can be achieved but scars are not usually completely eliminated.Typically an improvement can be achieved with a fractional laser, including the ones you asked about.  Not aware of a study that shows clear superior results from one fractional laser compared to others.  
CO2 laser vs Intracel rf microneedling
Acne Scar Treatment
Aug 9, 2018
Without photos and more medical information it is difficult to answer your question.Treatment of acne scars is challenging and is more of an art than an exact science.Suggest you see a Facial Plastic Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist who has significant experience treating acne scars.
Could you suggest the best procedure for my acne scars? Already done subcision 2 times and Endymed RF
Acne Scars
May 30, 2018
Treatment of acne scars can be challenging.The treatment varies depending on the type and location of the scars as well as the individual's biology.After treatments to stimulate development of new collagen it is best to allow time for the scars to improve.  Suggest that you give it at least six months to allow time for neocollagen generation prior to any additional treatments.
Which cream is better/effective for scarring: amoniom lactate or clindamycin posphate topical gel? (Ph
Scar Treatment
May 30, 2018
There are multiple ways to treat scarsIt is best to see a physician who is experienced in treating scars to select the optimal treatment.  Optimal treatment of scars varies with individual's biology as well as the scar type and duration.  Some scars are best treated with lasers, some with scar revision, with injectables and some with topical medication.  Not aware of any information that shows that either of those topicals are effective in treating scarsIn addition clindamycin is an antibio...
Can filler be used in my lips to make them appear symmetrical?
Lip Filler
May 8, 2018
Yes filler can be used to improve lip asymmetry.  Suggest you see an experienced physician for this treatment.
What can I do to improve my skin?
Facial Skin Rejuvenation
May 8, 2018
First of all suggest strict sun precautions to prevent photoaging as sun exposure can result in loss of collagen, skin thinning and even developing facial spider vessels.A neuromodulator such as Botox should give a significant improvement to your forehead linesThe slight parentheses around you mouth can be treated with a filler.  The question is have these been present since your childhood.  If so recommend not treating them at this time
Is it possible that collagen producing treatments just don't work for some people?
Nonsurgical Facelift
May 8, 2018
Seems like you have had numerous procedures with no improvement.  Suggest you consider surgery.  Best to see an experienced facelift surgeon.
Am I ready for a scar revision? I had a tummy tuck 10 months ago. I ended up with a wound vac and this
Abdominalplasty scar
May 8, 2018
Suggest deferring treatment of this scar until it has had time to finish further healing and tissues soften.  This will probably require another year.  At that time you should see a physician who is very experienced in treating these types of scars.
Are there lasers that treat upper eyelid blood vessels?
Eyelid Laser treatments
May 8, 2018
Treating eyelid blood vessels with a laser has some associated risks Although it may be possible considering the risks suggest not treating these.
