Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

42yr old woman with heavy jowls and neck sagging – would a mid facelift be adequate to correct this

Facelift
Jun 21, 2022

Facelift surgery can address loosened and sagging skin while tailoring and removing the excess skin. High SMAS facelift surgery addresses soft tissue changes within the mid-face, the lower face along the jawline and jowls, and neck excess. It is best to consult a surgeon to determine which facelift techniques might be best for you and to find out if you are a candidate for surgical procedure that will address your areas of concern.

What can I do to rejuvenate my face after losing over 100 lbs (fillers not enough, need next steps)

Facelift Surgery
Jun 28, 2021

Commonly, dramatic weight loss can have the unwanted consequence of increased facial skin excess and skin laxity. One of the more unfortunate consequences of massive weight loss is facial volume loss or facial deflation. Facelift surgery can address loosened and sagging skin while tailoring and removing the excess skin. While liposuction can remove specific or residual fat excess, skin excess is best treated via surgical removal. Perhaps ironically, some patients benefit from autologous fat…

Is a facelift with Lupus possible?

Facelift Surgery
Jun 28, 2021

Lupus is one of many chronic illnesses that can be well controlled in some patients. Many patients with auto-immune or other chronic conditions can become candidates for surgery and some disease would not entirely exclude a patient from the potential to undergo facelift surgery. It is important to seek proper evaluation and medical clearance by your overseeing physician(s) (e.g. rheumatologist), and it is best to consult a surgeon, to determine if you are a candidate for safe surgery.

Dissolving fillers prior to facial plastic surgery consultation or surgery?

Fillers & Surgery
Jun 28, 2021

In some patients, Vollure XC can last up to 18 months. Although a hyaluronic acid dermal filler such as Vollure XC can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase, this enzyme would have no impact on fat tissue. Fat tissue would need a different type of product like Kybella to destroy or impact the actual fat cells. Having only had 1ml of Vollure XC filler injected into the chin region, two years ago, it would be highly unlikely to have any issues with proceeding with a facelift, necklift, and/or chin…

Facelift Surgery
Jun 28, 2021

When it comes to facelift surgery there are various types and techniques that come into play. It has often been said that “you get what you pay for.” A little lift, sometimes referred to as a “short-scar” technique, will often result in a little improvement. Sometimes, this kind of little improvement does not meet the patient’s individual goals or expectations. There are many considerations to an individual’s surgical plan. Traditional facelift surgery intends to target lifting of the lowe…

How do people with dry eyes have a facelift?

Dry Eyes + Facelift Surgery
Jun 28, 2021

Facelift surgery itself does not involve the eye regions and therefore does not impact dry eyes. With that being said, it is not uncommon for facelift patients to consider adding other simultaneous facial surgery such as blepharoplasty as additional procedures can help enhance the effect of facelift surgery. With a high-SMAS facelift technique, the surgeon is also lifting the mid-face which can help to increase support to the lower eyelid area and decrease the downward drag on the lower lid…

Why do opinions vary from doctor to doctor regarding the best treatment for loose neck skin and jow

One Size Does Not Fit All
Jun 16, 2021

Facelift surgery does not have a one size fits all approach. In fact, facial rejuvenation surgery is very nuanced. The best facelift surgeries tend to be the least detectable. Most people do not want to hear, “What happened to that person’s face?!?” Surgeons are not all alike and they have trained in differing technique and have different philosophies on facial aging. Facelift surgery is both an art and a science. Believe it or not, when it comes to facelift surgery, there are various types…

Is it better to get under eye filler before or after a facelift?

Filler & Facelift Surgery
Jun 16, 2021

When patients are considering surgery to correct their eyelid hollows or tear troughs, along with a facelift, an increasingly popular option is to skip the eye filler and use autologous fat grafting or AFG. AFG is actually a fat transplant where fat is moved for one area of the body to another. It is especially good for the eye area because it is naturally occurring in the body and more forgiving, even when it is layered. One untoward consequence of filler in the lower eyelid areas is that…

Why do some people’s neck appear wider after a facelift?

Neck Width
Jun 16, 2021

Facelift surgery addresses loosened and sagging skin and skin excess is tailored and removed from the neck. Facelift surgery itself does not involve adding volume to the neck region and therefore does not change a patient’s neck width. Our high-SMAS technique will result in sculpting and reshaping of the neck and an overall reduction in skin excess and neck fullness. Almost every patient will have some degree of bruising and swelling after surgery. Gravity tends to pull the swelling down, s…

Should I get a facelift?

Facelift
Jun 16, 2021

There is no “right age” for a facelift. When a patient’s skin begins to sag and loosen, it can be best solved with facelift surgery. Facelifts can be tailored to meet the unique goals of individual patients. “Skin age” is a big factor when considering facelift surgery. Some people just have really poor genetics and they develop a “double-neck” even in their 30’s. Liposuction can remove the fat excess but sometimes there is poor elasticity and a plan to reduce the skin excess will often need…

Procedures to remove skin from abdomen around belly button instead of huge TT scar?

The truth about tummy tuck options
Oct 4, 2019

Thank you for your great questions. It is common for patients to be concerned about incisions, scars, and recovery from a tummy tuck. We are frequently asked about non-surgical options and we understand when patients ask if there is any alternative that could provide a similar result. Unfortunately, we have been unimpressed with nonsurgical skin tightening procedures at this point in time. There is a lot of interest in radiofrequency or laser tightening but every patient that we…

Can procedures be combined? (breast/arm lifts) or ( tummy tuck/ thigh lifts)? Which combos for the

Surgical procedures can be combined
Oct 4, 2019

First, we’d like to congratulate you on your weight loss success! Just wow! Some of our most favorite patients are those who have done the hard work and figured out the weight loss plan that works for them. We often see patients before they’ve lost 50 or 100 or 140 pounds and our options are more limited and their chances for a safe and optimal result are not as favorable as someone who has lost the weight first. Surgery then becomes the reward for all of their hard work (rather tha…

How can I fix my nose? Can my bulbous tip be made thinner?

Fixing your nose with Rhinoplasty
Oct 1, 2019

Thank you for sharing your photos!

They demonstrate notable asymmetry of the nose, nostrils and face. This type of nasal tip is often described as parenthetically shaped which is why it has a “bulbous” or amorphous appearance. This is often caused by the lower cartilages turning up creating a ( ) shape. The nose isn’t necessarily bent- but the two sides have very different lengths. The nostrils sit at different levels. I believe that your concerns are valid, and a…

Rhinoplasty Recovery Time and Downtime?

Rhinoplasty Recovery and Downtime
Oct 1, 2019

This is the one question asked by every patient I see. It’s so important to know what you can expect. Rhinoplasty procedures vary significantly from one patient to the next, however the splint/bandages that are placed onto the nose immediately following the procedure almost always remain on the nose for the first full week. Very commonly, black eyes accompany the splint, adding to the reason this first week is quite anti-social for patients. Pain isn’t typically the most com…

I’m not satisfied with the simulation for rhinoplasty. What is your opinion please – especially the

Rhinoplasty and Simulation Imaging
Oct 1, 2019

Thank you for sharing this feedback regarding simulations and asking for feedback.

We view the simulation tool as a communication tool during a consultation- to look for feedback like yours from my patients which allows us to understand the unique goals and appearance each patient hopes to achieve. Every single patient has different goals for their rhinoplasty procedure. Our goal is to understand each patient’s unique expectations in order to improve the communication about their a…
