How Long Does the Coolsculpting Procedure Last and How Many Treatments Are Needed?

CoolSculpting & DualSculpting
Oct 24, 2018

Great question! CoolSculpting is a no downtime, non invasive procedure that permanently kills fat cells in the areas treated. If you are visiting a practice with the most current machines and protocols, your treatment can be as short at 35 minutes. Our practice has fully embraced the need of our patient’s very busy lives and because of this, we offer DualSculpting. This allows our patients to have 2 areas of the body treated at 1 time, cutting their treatment time in half. If you are …

With CoolSculpting, is it common to have six treatment areas on the abdomen? How might this impact pa

Multiple CoolSculpting Cycles on Abdomen
Oct 24, 2018

Thank you for your question! CoolSculpting truly is a treatment that is totally customized and that varies depending on the patient’s body. Many patients that visit our practice are candidates for anywhere from 2 treatment areas up to 8 treatment areas in the abdomen area. We always remind our patients that it is not what we take away that they will notice, so much as what we leave behind. If it is just your lower abdomen that bothers you, be sure your provider is taking a holistic approach …

What is a “One-stitch Lift”?

The one-stitch lift – too goo to be true.
Jan 20, 2014

Often times doctors will brand their procedures, to help gain exposure. A one-stitch lift sounds like a marketing campaign. I would request to see before and after images, and make sure the images are several months to a year after the procedure. Chances are if you have moderate laxity in your jawline and neck then one stitch won’t get the job done. While this procedure may sound like a nice, easy procedure, it might not be right for you. Take your time, and see several different…

How Long Should Swelling and Numbness Last After a Facelift?

Swelling after facelift
Jan 20, 2014

It is important to remember to be patient! You just had surgery and you need to give your face time to heal. It can take anywhere from 3 to 4 months for all of the swelling to subside. While you may have already gone back to work, most of the initial swelling has likely gone down. There can still be swelling, and it can be 3 – 4 months before that swelling is completely gone.

What is a One-hour Facelift?

One Hour Facelift
Jan 20, 2014

Sometimes doctors brand their own procedures. Don’t get confused by all these marketing terms. They really don’t mean anything. A good facelift is one that tightens and supports the SMAS and Platysma muscles in the neck. Sometimes these procedures are branded to entice people to do a procedure because it sounds easy and less invasive. No matter how great these procedures sound, remember that any surgical procedure has a downtime. If you are going to undergo a facelift or other surgical…

Crooked Nose or Uneven Swelling After Rhinoplasty?

Swelling After Rhinoplasty
Jan 20, 2014

With a rhinoplasty, it is important to have patience! What you are seeing as crooked could just be swelling and time will tell. Remember, it can take up to a year for all the swelling in the nose to dissipate. Straightening a crooked nose is difficult and getting a perfectly straight nose is not alway possible. A straighter nose is generally the goal. Give it time to heal and let the swelling go down. You’ll have a better idea as to what the results will truly look like in a few months…

Tip Rhinoplasty

A Tip Rhinoplasty
Jan 20, 2014

A “Tip” rhinoplasty is no different from other types of rhinoplasty. This type of rhinoplasty is focused to just treat the tip region of the nose, and not the bridge or other parts of the nose. In general, a tip rhinoplasty helps to:Reduces a bulbous tipReshape a boxy tipAny other modifications that need to be done to improve or refine the tip Typically it is best to do it as an open approach.

How Soon After Rhinoplasty Can I Fly or Exercise?

Flying & Exercise after Rhinoplasty
Jan 20, 2014

Many of my patients fly in from out of town for treatments. As a rule, you should wait between 1 – 2 weeks for the swelling to go down and for your body to rest. Flying can make you retain water and swell even more, so it is important to wait at least a week before getting on a plane. For exercise, the rules are the same. You’ll want to wait at least a week, and even up to two weeks. There will be swelling and bruising after rhinoplasty, so most people will want to wait until there is…

Is winter a good time to get rhinoplasty?

Winter Rhinoplasty
Jan 9, 2014

There is no problem with doing a rhinoplasty in the winter. No matter how cold it is.

Bump on bridge of my nose after rhinoplasty- will it straighten out?

Post operative healing after rhinoplasty
Jan 9, 2014

Considering you are only 2 weeks out from a rhinoplasty, having little bumps along the bridge is normal. It is typically due to the swelling. With time it should go down assuming that there is not any cartilage/bone under the skin. Be patient and continue to follow-up with your surgeon.

Is the Y Lift Worth It?

The Y Lift and Other Non Surgical Options
Jan 2, 2014

The Y Lift is a non-surgical technique for addressing facial laxity. There are many other non-surgical options for addressing aging in the mid-face. Typically, non-surgical techniques will not be as effective or last as long as surgical procedures like a facelift. For optimal results treating facial aging, often surgical and non-surgical procedures are combined. Surgical procedures will give you more permanent results than any non-surgical techniques. Most non-surgical treatments, like…

How Long Does a Facelift Last?

The Duration of a Facelift
Jan 2, 2014

The results of a facelift will last forever. Of course, aging will continue to occur, but not in the same way. There are a number of factors that can impact when and if you will need another lift, such as:Age, LifestyleGenes Typically, if another lift is required, it will be another 7-10 years before a touch-up may be required. It also depends on the type of treatment. There are some treatments that are only addressing sagging skin, and not lax muscles. Those minimal lifts…

Will Electric Stimulation Machines Help Firm Facial Muscles?

Electric Stimulation and the Aging Process
Jan 2, 2014

When your facial muscles become lax the only way to reliably lift them is via surgical facelift and or neck lift. If you are looking for a true lift, other measures are not going to work for a fully corrected result. I don’t personally believe in stimulators. These machines are often used in rehabilitation of muscles and nerves after injury, but they will not work to reverse sagging of muscles due to aging. Surgery is truly the best way to lift muscles that have sagged…

Rhinoplasty recovery time can vary between patients, but typically patients can expect:Some pain and headache the first day or two post-surgeryBruising around the nose and sometimes the eyes – most bruises will disappear within 7 days, and supplements like Arnica montana can help to reduce the appearance of bruising.Congestion after surgery – this is due to nasal swelling and this feeling will diminish a few days after surgeryPatients usually return to work after a week, when most of the…
