What happens if you lose weight after chin liposuction?

Chin Liposuction and Weight Loss
Nov 27, 2019

Chin Liposuction may be done before the weight loss however it is generally best to wait until your weight is stable after any loss before proceeding with the operation. Under those circumstances less fat may need to be removed and that will give an overall more predictable final positive result. In the event that the weight loss is less than desired or if there are other reasons to proceed before the weight loss it is important that the quality of the neck skin be accurately...

What are the procedures that will turn my old stretch marks completely white?

Stretch Marks
Nov 26, 2019

Stretch Marks usually occur from rapid growth spurts during adolescence and enlargement of the abdomen and breasts during pregnancy and lactation. There are other causes that involve hormonal effects on the skin with certain diseases. In essence they are scars caused by too rapid a sustained stretch of the skin before it can adapt (including growing more skin ) to the new volume and size of the affected areas.
The white color generally indicates that the normal pigment...

Are eye circles, specifically those that are blue in colour, caused by nutritional deficiency? (Pho

Dark Circles Under the Eyes
Nov 25, 2019

Dark Circles under the eyes often referred to medically as " multifactorial lower eyelid pigmentation" is often due to a combination of several anatomic features of this area of the face and the results of excess pigmentation deposited in the affected area. Generally the skin of the lower eyelid and superior cheek is thinner than that of the remainder of the lower face and occasionally a person has larger or more numerous blood vessels, typically veins, that run under this area. ...

I have done PDT about ten times over the years. I do it once a year to limit the surgeries on my fa

PDT for Reducing Skin Cancer Risk
Nov 22, 2019

PDT results can be more effective when the skin is pretreated by procedures or medications that will increase the potential absorption of the active chemical used in the treatment, delta aminolevulinic acid.
In our Clinic we use a variation of PDT called LDT which uses a a laser, Vbeam ,instead of blue or red light to increase the energy effects in the skin while still keeping the overall reaction mild and with quick recovery. ...

What is the best time to begin laser treatments to minimize a scar?

Scar Revision Timing
Nov 21, 2019

After a traumatic laceration or following stitch removal after a surgical procedure on the skin there is a period of time where treatment of the newly maturing scar can have the greatest influence in improving the appearance of or eliminating the scar. This time is during the first 3 months following the injury or surgery. During the first month extra attention is given to stabilizing the injured area to make sure that the wound edges do not separate and which would worsen...

What skin refining procedure (on any area of the face) is best for a person with extremely fair and

Rejuvenation Options for Sensitive and Delicate or Thin Skin
Nov 20, 2019

Individuals with delicate or thin skin need options for improvement of their skin quality that take into account these features. Some of the most powerful skin rejuvenation procedures that can create a more prolonged wound healing process may not be good options for these patients. This is where an evaluation and skin analysis by an expert Cosmetic Dermatologist is most helpful as a starting point.
Often patients with thin or delicate skin may be candidates for a...

Is there a valid reason why a qualified Mohs surgeon would opt to do a standard excision instead of

Should My Skin Cancer Be Treated with Mohs Surgery
Nov 19, 2019

Mohs surgery for treatment of a skin cancer on any skin site is usually performed when in the judgment and experience of the Mohs surgeon the use of this technique will provide a higher likelihood of cure and potentially a better cosmetic outcome or quicker recovery from the surgery. The nature of the skin cancer including the cell types involved, the growth pattern, and risks of recurrence in combination with the location of the cancer and whether a high priority for maximal...

Is some scabbing normal on a nasal skin graft after 3 weeks?

Scabbing or Crusting of new Grafts
Nov 19, 2019

When a wound following Mohs surgery is repaired by a graft there is a process of healing and incorporation of the graft into the existing bed of the wound and surrounding skin which takes several weeks. During this complex healing process it is not unusual for some or all of the surface portions of the graft (usually involving what is called a full-thickness graft) to develop some scabbing (usually referred to as "eschar"). The portion of the graft in which the scab forms is...

Can a scar look better at two weeks post Mohs and then look worse a week later?

Mohs surgery wound and scar healing
Nov 19, 2019

Following Mohs surgery and in fact after any surgical operation on the skin and underlying soft tissue there is a normal biological healing process which typically involves a time delay of 4 weeks before the wound is structurally intact, that is at minimal risk for opening up or "dehiscing" with stretch or pressure to the site and a full 3 months minimally before the resulting scar is stable. During the first few weeks of wound healing it is not unusual for the scar to have a small...

Botox for Forehead Lines
Apr 27, 2017

There are a few variables which determine if a person is a candidate for treatment of Forehead wrinkles with Botulinum toxin and what dose is appropriate.
Men and Women generally require different doses for a good effect since the forehead muscles are more developed and thicker in men.
In either sex, the degree of animation or frequency of contraction of these forehead muscles and depth of the lines also will determine what dose is optimal,
For some individuals very small doses, 10...

Stretch marks on flanks: liposuction?

Stretch Marks and Liposuction
Feb 7, 2017

Depending on how much liposuction will be done on the flank and hip (so called "muffin top" areas) there will not be much change to the stretch marks usually. Some narrowing and deepening of the stretch marks may occur if there is a substantial amount of fat removal in these areas, but may not be avoidable in order to have the best reshaping result.
Stretch marks are actually a form of scarring and some of our Tumescent Liposculpture patients do wish to have the stretch marks...

How close to ideal weight should I be for best results from lipo?

Weight loss and Liposuction
Feb 7, 2017

In general, it's always a good idea to be at one's ideal body weight or at least have a stable weight before liposuction. For weight loss "resistant" areas like the inner/outer thighs and knees a small amount of weight loss before or after liposuction will not usually affect the final liposuction results.

What can I expect during a Kybella appointment?

Kybella Treatment Experience
Dec 17, 2015

I will usually see a patient in consultation before the scheduled treatment session in order to obtain a careful medical history and to thoroughly examine the patient's facial and neck anatomy to determine if they are a candidate for treatment with Kybella or whether they may be better served by Tumescent Liposculpture, or skin tightening procedures such as Ultherapy or a Face/Neck lift. Some patients' fullness may be due to enlarged salivary glands or other conditions and may...

Leg brown spots and scars
Dec 3, 2015

Depending on the type of Vasculitis ( there are are many types, some involving large blood vessels and some involving smaller ones) and whether it is in the upper skin layers or fat and whether it is still active or in remission, treatment to help with the scars and pigmentation is possible.Treatments would most likely involve the use of several types of lasers and possibly chemical peels, depending on many factors.The first step should be a visit with a Dermatologist experienced with...

What lasts longer, botox or xeomin?

Botox vs Xeomin
Nov 5, 2015

Xeomin and Botox effects will generally last about the same amount of time, up to 4 months typically. Studies have shown that Xeomin may "spread" into the treated area further and may have a better effect for treatment of crow's feet, for example.This same characteristic could lead to a higher incidence of side effects if injected by an unqualified injector.
