Slow wound healing after breast lift
May 21, 2015
You appear to have some swelling and inflammation in this photo. Many people have some allergy to Polysporin. As an expert in wound healing, I have found a hydrogel, such as Solosite, applied twice daily to be effective. Please speak to your surgeon about your concerns. The majority of these wounds heal nicely.
Temporal wasting after first time Botox injection for crows-feet, appears permanent, now what? (photo
Does Botox cause temporal wasting
Apr 27, 2015
It is very unusual for Botox to cause permanent temporal wasting when used for Crow’s feet. In some aging patterns, temporal wasting is simply part of the syndrome. Your awareness mat have been tirggered by attnetion to this area. Luckily, fillers, such as Radiesse and Voluma, can be used to improve this condition.

Pain after Breast Augmentation
Apr 3, 2015
Submuscular breast augmentation does put some stress on the pectoralis muscles. There may me small, band- like fibers over the pocket. Also, the body has developed a capsule around the implants. Using the rowing machine will stretch and stress the pectoralis muscle.it is likely that you developed some muscle strain, or perhaps a small tear in the capsule. Rest the muscle a bit, and try some aniinflammatory meds, such as Ibuprofen. Gentle massage and stretching will help. If you develop…

Laser liposuction dissatisfaction
Apr 3, 2015
Withou photos, it is difficult to truly envision your concerns. Studies on laser liposuction has not really shown any advantages, and there are more risks of burning the skin and scarring. Hopefully, revision liposuction by a capable, board certified plastic surgeon, can resolve your areas of concern.i wish you the best of luck.
Juvederm vs Restylane
Juvederm vs. Restylane for Lips
May 11, 2014
I have used both juvederm and Restylane for lips. In my hands, I think I have a slight preference for the results I obtain with Restylane. I also see somewhat less bruising. I don’t notice a significant difference in duration.I can’t stress enough how important it is to have your injectable treatments performed by an expert injector. Board certified plastic surgeons are trained to appreciate your facial aesthetics and anatomy, understand how to choose the appropriate products for you,…
juvederm lip filler. My lips are uneven (3 weeks post op). Should I be worried?
Uneven Juvederm to Lips
May 11, 2014
Your uneven result may be from underlying asymmetry of your lip, but is more likely due to technical issues. That includes filling the sides unevenly, and placing too much Alloderm in one spot, causing tenderness. These can be improved by a second treatment by an expert injector. In the worst case scenario, hyaloronidase can be used to dissolve the product. I am curious why you you would have injection treatments by someone you didn’t trust.I can’t stress enough how important it is to have…
What Caused Juvederm to Migrate Above the Lip Line Causing a Road Bump Appearance?
Wandering Juvederm
May 6, 2014
Juvederm effects depend on product, tissue and technique. This sounds like a technique issue, where a “blob” of Juvederm was injected at once and then migrated. Juvederm works best when injected in linear threads. I agree that you should touch base with your plastic surgeon.I can’t stress enough how important it is to have your injectable treatments performed by an expert injector. Board certified plastic surgeons are trained to appreciate your facial aesthetics and anatomy, understand how…

Neck Lump After Juvederm
May 3, 2014
There are a few scenarios that could explain your finding after Juvederm injection. The first is that the lump was there previously, and you noticed it after the injection. The second is that the lump is an inflammatory reaction to the injection, although it is unusual for this to happen do quickly. The third is a skin issue, such as a pimple or small cyst. It is unlikely for Juvederm to migrate from the lips to the neck. Please talk to your doctor. If this is an enlarged lymph node, it…
Juvederm has migrated to my neck and spine from my cheeks. Is this dangerous?
Juvederm Migration
May 3, 2014
While I don’t know how much Juvederm was injected, It is highly unlikely that uvederm injected into your cheeks would migrate to you neck and spine. I would rcommend that you voice your concerns with your doctor. Juvederm absorbs after approximately six months.I can’t stress enough how important it is to have your injectable treatments performed by an expert injector.

May 2, 2014
Although it is difficult to see in your photo, my suspicion is that the Juvederm was injected too superficially in you lips, and your best option is to have it dissolved with hyaluronidase.I can’t stress enough how important it is to have your injectable treatments by an expert injector. Board certified plastic surgeons are trained to appreciate your facial aesthetics and anatomy, understand how to choose the appropriate products for you, understand injection techniques and pitfalls, and are…

Bumps after Juvederm to lips
May 2, 2014
It is possible that the lumps are due to the Juvederm itself. Other causes of lumps may be inflammation, previous scarring, or a small amount of bruising from the injection. You may experiment with a cool or warm soaked washcloth to month, you the area, or gentle massage to redistribute the Juvederm. If the problem persists after a month, you may benefit from hyaloronidase injection. Whether or not your physician charges more depends on the financial arrangement you have with them. I…

There is absolutely no reason not to remove your dentures after Juvederm treatment. Be gentle, as you might experience a bit of tenderness.
Do I need a breast lift?
Are Implants Needed with Breast Lift
Mar 31, 2014
Breast lift is generally performed to elevate the nipple areola, and to tighten and reshape the breast pockets. Implants are generally placed to increase volume and projection of the breasts. In my opinion, you have an excellent breast volume, so I would likely recommend a lift only, with minimal scar technique.
How complicated is removal of breast implants?
Breast Implant Removal
Mar 31, 2014
Removal of breast implants may be performed for a number of reasons, including breakage, dissatisfaction with size, infection, capsular contracture, complications of breast reconstruction, and a desire to rid the body of implants. Generally, I remove the capsule at the time of explantion. Saline implants are generally easier to remove than silicone. Most implants can be removed via the inframammary incision. Difficulty of removal is increased by silicone or prolonged rupture , old hematoma,…
Thoughts on a Hybrid Tummy Tuck?
Tummy Tuck for Diatasis
Mar 31, 2014
What you are desciribing is a lax abdominal wall from stretching at the time of surgery. that needs to be repaired and tightened.. Loose skin can be removed via the incision (I assume that is the incision that you are referring to). Your bely button may be “floated” or repositioned depending on how much loose skin you have. Tummy tuck is not usually a primary operation to removed fat.
