Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
When can I turn my head after face and neck lift surgery?
Head turning and other activities after facelift
Jul 3, 2018
Mobility after surgery is a frequent question. On the first day after surgery, I place a snug head/neck dressing. This limits some of the mobility. After the first day it is removed and the head can be turned and moved normally. It is important to avoid sudden or extreme movements. The idea is to avoid undue tension. Neck muscles may feel sore after surgery so it is good to move the neck to avoid it getting stiff. By three weeks after surgery, my patients return to full activity,…
How Long Until Swelling Is 100% Gone After Face Lift?
Face-Lift Swelling — When is it finally over?
Jul 3, 2018
Thanks for the question. Congrats on making the decision for surgery. Swelling like most things is patient dependent. There are measures that can be taken to help minimize it. As far as timing is concerned, most of the obvious swelling will dissipate by three months but it may take six months or more in some people (rare). There is a sweet spot at roughly at 4-6 weeks, where there is a minimal amount of swelling present , but it may look good and the skin can look plump and healthy…
How Long/How Important Facelift Compression Garment?
Facelift compression garments — How much is enough?
Jul 3, 2018
Like most things posted on this website, it is generally up to the surgeon to decide how long compression dressings are left on. Usually more extensive surgeries may require a slightly longer period of wearing a dressing. Typically, I place a tighter dressing at the end of surgery and remove it the next day. If I feel its needed for support, I will re-wrap the face/head for another day – this usually is not the case. I will regularly recommend the use of a more comfortable dressing to…
Anesthesia Used During a Facelift?
Anesthesia during Facelifts – How alert do you want to be?
Jul 3, 2018
As discussed in other posts, there are many variations on facelift techniques and names. The extent of dissection during surgery depends on the surgeon and what the patient needs. It is reasonable to perform the surgery completely awake or under complete general anesthesia. I have a dynamic discussion about this with all my patients. Some are scared of being awake and some are scared of anesthesia. Both have their risks and both are always done as safe as possible. My personal preference is…
What is the recovery like for Kybella injections?
Kybella Recovery
Jul 3, 2018
Kybella works by disrupting the fat cells where it is injected. This causes a strong inflammatory response. The area of the neck warn, tender, and swollen soon after the injection. This swelling then persists in varying amounts for about 5-7 days. The swelling can be improved with some compression, like an ace wrap. In general, I advise patients to wear a scarf or collared shirt to hide this during the first week. While there is no physical restrictions with going about your day after…
How to get “sunken cheek” look?
Sunken cheek look with surgery
Jul 2, 2018
Patients with a round full face can benefit from removal of fat from their cheeks or “Buccal Fat Pad”. This surgery is aimed at removing the fullness from below the apex of the cheeks, giving a contoured appearance without fillers or makeup. The surgery can be done under local anesthesia awake with some oral relaxing medications and takes less than an hour. The incisions are hidden inside the mouth, and aside for swelling which lasts roughly 7-10 days, the results are immediate and…
Which is more effective: Kybella or CoolMini?
Kybella / Cool Mini / Neck Liposuction – Who is the real winner?
Jul 2, 2018
Kybella, Cool-Sclupting and Liposuction all target the same enemy, fat. It is difficult to compare the results of all three with certainty as every patient is different and there is too much variability with results between them. All three work for reducing fat under the chin. None officially work for tightening skin (although there is some speculation there can be some benefits). As far as cost, all three are priced close to each other. Kybella and CoolSculping will require more than…
Droopy Eyelids – Alternatives to Eyelift Surgery?
Droopy Lids: Surgery vs Non-invasive
Jul 2, 2018
Its important to first identify the cause of “droopy lids”. This casual term can mean many different things.
Upper eyelid “ptosis” is the medical name for eyelids that are not opening completely. This could be both or just one. Usually there is a problem with the muscle within the eyelid itself that causes it to not open fully. Think of it like a garage door that gets stuck on the way up and is not full open. Certain eye drops can help activate the muscle and open the muscle…
What is a Liquid Facelift?
What is a liquid facelift?
Jul 2, 2018
Liquid facelift is a way of using fillers and botox to rejuvenate the face without surgery. A variety of fillers can be injected in the face to restore volume to that has been lost due to aging over the years. While a modest improvement of skin laxity can occur with re-volumizing the face, loose skin cannot be tightened by injecting gels in the face. The goal is to restore a youth shape to the face and cheeks as well as camouflage areas of hollows and folds. Techniques and improvement is…
How is a Face Lift Different Than a Mini-face Lift or Midface Lift?
Face-lifts, “Mini”-lifts, and “You-name-it”-lifts… What does this all mean for you?
Jul 2, 2018
The various terminology for ‘Facial Rejuvenation Surgeries’ is cumbersome. To navigate these terms it is important to distinguish the surgical techniques and the area of the face that is being addressed. There is a lot of overlap in these terms. I will breakdown these terms as best I can below:
Mini-Lift:
This can mean many different things based on who is describing it. Usually it suggests either a shorter incision, or less extensive surgical dissection , or both…
Endotine Mid Face Lift- What Can I Expect in Terms of Length of Time Bruising Swelling?
Endotine Midface-Lift: Swelling & Brusing – What to expect
Jul 2, 2018
Thank you for your question.
Bruising and swelling can vary for mid-face surgery based on technique. Usually, if done alone, the midface-lift is performed endoscopically. Proper elevation and release of tether points is needed to effectively lift tissue into the desired position. This is done in a deep layer and in theory should have less bruising than other facial surgery that involves operating just beneath the skin. Alas, patients do still bruise. Typically, the bruising lasts 10-14 days….
Facelift Surgery Before and After Photos
Before and After Photography: Facelifts
Jul 2, 2018
Like most facial procedures it is a good idea to request seeing some photographs of other patients. Not all before and after photos are created equal — and that’s the problem — they should be.
Nuances in photography will change the appearance of results. Ideally, photos should have the same lighting, positioning, and camera settings to ensure this. Head positioning in facelift surgery photography can be deceptive. Ask yourself these questions: Is the head tilted in the same position? Are…
Under Eye Creases at 18
Creases of the lower eyelid
Jul 1, 2018
Fine lines and wrinkles of the lower eyelid skin present as we age. This is because the skin is thin and will show textural changes and sun damage before other areas of the face. At your age, 18, there are no aging changes to the lids. Medical skin conditions can cause irritation and swelling creating fullness and folding. If there are no medical issues, then it is possible the banding under the eyes is caused by redundancy or fullness from the orbicularis occuli muscle. These bands…
What Causes Darkening of Eyelids and Skin Around Eyes?
Causes of dark under eye circles and treatment options
Jul 1, 2018
Dark circles under the eyes can be from several different causes. Some patients are genetically prone to more pigment in the skin in the lower lid area or can pigment more with exposure to sunlight. Other common causes are vascular congestion in the area due it allergies or sinus infections. In these cases, the darker de-oxygenated blood in capillary beds can be seen through the thin eyelid skin. Finally, hollowing in the area of the lower eyelid can create a troublesome shadow which…
Is 40 Too Young for a Facelift?
When is a facelift right for you?
Jul 1, 2018
There is no exact numerical age for when a facelift should happen. Every patient ages differently and has different needs. Early volume loss and aging can be effectively treated with fillers and non-invasive techniques. As you mentioned, at some point these modalities are not enough or become repetitive and expensive. Surgical lifts are much more powerful at tightening advanced loose skin folds than energy treatments or adding volume with filler. The benefit of seeing a surgeon as…
