About how many syringes would take to get close to the image I edited?
Best estimation: 1.5 mLs of a lip filler like Vollure
Mar 5, 2018
Your injector may decide to do this augmentation over two session instead of one to reduce swelling and down time. It is hard to know exactly how much filler without seeing you in person but I can confidently estimate this change would take approximately 1.5 mL’s of lip filler product. You may also want to consider asking your injector to use a microcannula to reduce your risk of bruising. The lips are very vascular, meaning that bruising is likely. I would…
How do I get rid of this cellulite? I’m so embarrassed and had this cellulite since I was a teenager (
Cellulaze, Cellfina, Sculpsure, Sculptra, and Kybella
Mar 5, 2018
Thanks for sharing your question and photos. We can help, don’t worry. The only good thing about cellulite is that we now have so many ways to treat it. You may want to start with a combo of Cellulaze and Cellfina. Cellulaze is a laser probe that goes inside the leg to break up irregularities. Cellfina is machine that uses fine needles to circle the cellulite divot and subcise it from all angles. After you have healed from these procedures I would suggest some fine…
Can I use a massage belt to reduce lumps, and am I wasting a treatment if lumps are still present?
Induration can be a good sign; Clarisonic Massage head useful after SculpSure
Mar 5, 2018
First, congratulations! Areas of induration (hardness) can indicate you are going to get an Amazing result from your Sculpsure treatment. You are correct, Sculpsure kills the fat cells, but it doesn’t do anything to move the dead fat cells. Sometimes these can clump up and become palpable lumps. You really need to use forceful manual massage to get these lumps moving. I recommend doing this in a lymphatic massage pattern, always moving towards your heart. Try to…
Kybella concerns: 11 days post first treatment. 4 vials injected. Advice?
Marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve is injured. It does look like buccal fat may have been treated.
Mar 5, 2018
Hello,
First, I’m so sorry that you are having complications after Kybella. Our clinic has done hundreds of Kybella treatments and thankfully we have yet to see this happen, but injury to the myelin sheath of the nerve is a well known risk of Kybella. Luckily usually the tincture of time is the best remedy for this. Meaning even if you don’t do anything this should resolve in 5 months, if not sooner. Doing a light circular massage on the lower face and jaw, along with a healthy…
How can you correct an asymmetrical mouth?
Easy fix- 4-10 units of Botox
Mar 1, 2018
Hello,
This is an easy fix. You have a difference in strength between your lip levator muscle on your left and right side. Because of this you are compensating with the surrounding musculature. An experienced injector should be able to assess and fix this problem for you in 1-2 visits.
Is IPL only good for treating permanent facial redness from rosacea, or can it also be used to treat f
Rhofade- BRAND NEW Rosacea Treatment, IPL, and Botox Facial for Flushing
Mar 1, 2018
Have you tried Rhofade? This is actually Allergan’s newest acquisition. Allergan is the company that makes Botox and they buy everything that works amazingly well. I often start patients on Rhofade and do a series of 3 IPL’s. The IPL’s help more with the redness that you mentioned doesn’t go away. Also, intradermal Botox (sometimes called a Botox facial) works amazing well on facial flushing.
Procedure(s) to contour my lower face? Had a naturally full chubby face, but got Masseter
Kybella on the Face
Jan 29, 2018
We are having great success using kybella on the face to achieve a sleek lower third of the face. Based on the photos you attached you may benefit from 1-2 vials to the voluminous shape (the strange shape you mentioned) that’s to the side of your mouth. The great thing about this procedure is it’s permanent which reduces your overall cost. I would suggest moving slow, 1 vial at a time, and waiting a full 2 months before you decide to add another vial…
