How can I correct the lines on my cheeks without causing more lines? How long will it take for the
Treating lines on your cheeks
Sep 5, 2017
Botox has mixed results when used to treat lines on the mid-face region. It works well when one is trying to smooth the lines around the eyes, forehead, glabella region. Look in the mirror and smile. Is that when you notice the lines on your cheeks? If so, those lines become more exaggerated as we lose volume in the face and fat pads become redistributed with age. You may want to consider a dermal filler product to treat the volume loss in your mid face and reduce the appearance of lines in...
Hurting swollen upper lip from Juvederm, granuloma that hurts with other lumps, I've been dissolved
Lip Filler
Sep 5, 2017
It is difficult to give you a treatment plan without first seeing you. Injections of hyaluronidase to dissolve the remaining Juvederm may help, but I suggest you see a trusted provider for further treatment advise. If there is infection present, you will need to be prescribed antibiotics and closely monitored to ensure the injection is resolved. 
Best growth serum post-microneedling?
We Love PRP
Sep 5, 2017
We use Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in tandem with microneedling in our practice and are amazed at the results from using growth factors produced by one's own body. Depending on the microneedle settings,  and the application of the PRP, these growth factors can be be driven deep into the epidermis to stimulate collagen production and remodeling during the acute inflammatory process created by the microneedle. A patient can expect an improvement in the tone and texture of his/her skin that w...
I'm considering getting fillers for my lips. Would that be right for the results I'm looking for? (
Lip Filler
Aug 22, 2017
From looking at your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for lip augmentation. There are amazing dermal filler products to consider for your treatment. Made of silky smooth hyaluronic acid, these fillers will leave you with a soft and natural look that you can enjoy for 4-6 months.
Is a 457 moderate silicone implant adequate to increase your cup two sizes
Probably, but cup size is not standardized
Feb 10, 2014
Hi there - it's likely that the size range will reach your goals. However, it's important to note that cup size is not standardized among bra companies, and gets less and less reliable above C cup size. Be sure to discuss your goals with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and they will help make sure you reach them.
Is it safe to have plastic surgery with an birth control implant in the arm?
Yes you should be just fine
Feb 10, 2014
There should be no problem with an implantable means of birth control in your arm. Any form of birth control can be associated with an increase in the risk of blood clots, but this is not specific to the method (pills, arm implant, etc) of birth control you take.
Do any doctors do payment plans for a BBL?
Care credit and other plans
Feb 10, 2014
Many plastic surgeons work with independent companies such as "care credit" that pre-qualify patients for loans related to cosmetic surgery procedures. When you are selecting a surgeon, just call ahead and ask about financing plans. Most offices will be happy to talk to you about the options out there.Good luck!
How long does is take to have a tummy tuck done and a fat trasfer to the butt
About 4-5 hours
Feb 10, 2014
Hello,The amount of time for this procedure depends on the time to: do liposuction on the front and back of the trunk, to process and inject the fat into the buttocks, and then to do the skin removal (tummy tuck) on the front side again. Therefore it's surgery in multiple areas, and two position changes. Usually this takes around 4 hours or so, but of course this depends on the size of the patient, their body type and the processes of the surgeon.Best regards to you.
Can I use someone else's body fat and if so is it harmful?
Not possible to use another person's fat
Feb 10, 2014
Sorry, it's not possible or safe to consider using someone else's fat for a fat grafting procedure. Apart from the risk of getting an infection from another individual, a person's body would reject the tissue and it would all disappear.Good luck!
Silicone Breast augmentation: Implant or Lift Also?
Breast augmentation alone
Feb 3, 2014
I agree with the other opinions that you are very likely to do well with just a breast augmentation. One thing that would be a wise additional step is to print photographs of individuals who have a similar frame and have breasts that are near your ideal in size and shape. Take those photos to your consultation (with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon of course) and the surgeon can use them as a tool to discuss how close augmentation alone will come to your ideal results.
Is It Possible to Put a Fold in my Ears?
Yes - the lack of a fold, and the protrusion go together
Aug 7, 2013
Hi there - you're actually very astute to notice the lack of a fold. Many patients come in to my office to request an 'otoplasty' (also known as a pinning back of the ears), and I then educate them on normal ear anatomy, so that they understand how these folds are important aesthetically, and how they determine ear position.

The otoplasty procedure involves an incision that is well hidden in the back, and then stitches are placed through the back side of the cartilage to moderately...

Do I Need a Lollipop Mastopexy W/Breast Augmentation?
You may be able to avoid a breast lift
Apr 25, 2013
I would avoid a breast lift as part of your breast augmentation. True, you are close to the point where a breast lift should be considered, but your body has not crossed the line into definitely needing it.

The bottom line is, if there is a decent chance that you can avoid breast lift incisions altogether, then I would recommend a breast augmentation along, and then consider a lift if you need it, after all of the tissues have settled and adjusted to the presence of the implants...

Weight Gain Prior to BBL?
In my opinion, you're correct that unnatural weight gain makes no sense
Dec 11, 2012
Hi there,

Thanks for the question. I'm of your mindset completely. If someone changes their lifestyle to something that is not natural or comfortable to them then they will almost always revert back to the old lifestyle in time. Such is true with abnormal weight gain for fat grafting procedures. Yes, the surgeon has a bit more to work with and on the operating room table it may make the surgeon feel more satisfied, but with a return to a regular diet,...

Will Gaining Weight Help With Fat Transfer to the Butt?
Best BBL results will be at your baseline weight
Oct 11, 2012
I'm in agreement with the other opinions, that you should not change your diet or lifestyle to something that is not natural for you, just for the sake of trying to gain weight before your fat transfer to the buttocks ('Brazilian Butt Lift'). If you work to gain weight, eating more than you usually would, then you will almost certainly lose that weight after surgery and the additional volume in your buttocks will go with it.

It's best to just stick with your regular diet...

Fat Cells Return 6 Months After Liposuction?
BMI can help but it isn't everything
Sep 19, 2012
Hello,

Opinions vary widely among doctors as to how much to believe in BMI. I personally feel that it's a guide but is not reason enough to make a decision for or against surgery. Photos would help, but in big-picture terms it's true that patients tend to do better at body contouring when they are a lower weights. However it's also true that if a patient is diligent about protecting their surgical result with a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen after...
