Can I color my hair 3 days before a facelift?
Recommendation before Facelift
Apr 2, 2018
Hi,I'm often asked that questions as well as how long after a facelift a woman needs to wait until she colors her hair again.3 days before a facelift is fine to color your hair. Afterwards, I suggest waiting until the incisions are healed. This is usually 3 to 4 weeks. We have some terrific hair stylists that have worked with my patients and they are very accustomed to seeing facelift patients. An experienced stylist is terrific because they know were it is safe to work and which areas to...
Is a deep vertical facelift possible? I just read about vertical facelifts that are not pe
Long Lasting Facelift Technique
Apr 2, 2018
Hi Petra,
Terrific question. 
The key to longevity in facelift surgery, is to have a procedure that is particularly tailored to your individual anatomical needs. Some patients will need more of a vertical lift than other. But you could imagine that if a person has more laxity in a different direction, such as diagonal, then not only will a vertical lift not last long but won't look very good even from the start.
So there's no one technique that is best for everybody. Rather, make sure that y...

Subtle Mini-Lift
Sep 12, 2017
Hi leigh742,Thanks for the question and submitting your photos.Firstly, you look good. The images do convey the issues you're concerned with. For lower facial laxity, a subtle mini-lift is really the best option and provides the longest lasting result. When done well it is very inconspicuous and has a very high success rate in correcting jowls, mid face, and early neck laxity. Non-surgical alternatives available today tend to be rather short lived.Based on your pictures, it does not look ...
Mid face lift vs brow lift vs cheek implants for prematurely aging 26 year old?
Aging Prematurely
Sep 12, 2017
Hi,Good questions.I think there are a lot of options for you to consider prior to the surgeries you mention.Just based on your photo's, you do look like a candidate for a chin implant. Aside from that, it looks like you would benefit from the addition of volume. In my practice we do this with the use of a patient's own fat or with in office injections. Both work well. the use of fat is a more involved procedure but has the potential to be much longer lasting as its someone's own tissue. ...

Thigh Lift Candidate
Sep 12, 2017
Hi,Terrific job with the weight loss. The weight loss is, of course, the most important thing. The skin issues can be taken care of afterwards.Your picture show quite a bit of laxity. If you're at your goal, or as you reach your goal, a thigh lift may help with your symptoms. In which case, I would recommend an extended inner thigh lift. It sounds like your skin is quite irritated. Consider seeing a dermatologist in the mean time.Best of luck

Face lift and facial volume.
Oct 31, 2016
Hi Shydi,Yours question comes up often. Which to do first. It depends a lot on your schedule and preference. A terrific approach is to do them together. If you can have the lower face lift in the near future, I would suggest adding the volume to correct the deficiency under your eye at the same time. We don't have to use Voluma, another choice is to use your own fat. Fat has the potential to provide permanent volume to the area. Voluma is terrific and we use it as an office procedure all ...
What is the best (and longest-lasting) facelift technique to lift heavy jowls?
Importance of SMAS in Facelifts
Jun 1, 2016
Hi,Your confusion about the best use of the SMAS in facelift surgery is on point and well founded. Among plastic surgeon there is no consensus.  Most of us who spend much time performing facial rejuvenation agree that incorporating the SMAS into the procedure is key to a lasting and natural result. However the wide variety of techniques using the SMAS is indicative that no procedure is that far superior to the others. Rather what is more important is how well a technique works in a ...

Normal Healing after a Facelift
Jun 1, 2016
Hi,Normal healing after a facelift consists of swelling, bruising, and diminished sensation of the skin in front of the ear. Bruises resolve over the course of 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling resolves over the course of a few months though most of it goes away during the first few weeks. Diminished sensation resolves more slowly over the course of months. There are rare cases where the loss of sensation can persist but this is unusual.Best of luck with your healing.

A Patient's Relationship with Their Plastic Surgeon is Important
Jun 1, 2016
I place a very high value on my relationship with my patients. Having surgery is a very personal interaction. To get the best results for my patients, its really essential that we get to know each other and only through this can I help them achieve what they are hoping for. If you just meet a surgeon the day of the procedure how can you be sure they understand what your goals are? I would have serious misgivings about the situation you describe.

Best Time for a Facelift
Jun 1, 2016
The time to consider facelift surgery is when there is laxity of the soft tissues of the cheek and loss of definition of the jawline. Neck laxity is also commonly present. It is less a matter of chronological age. I've had patients in their 30's who needed it and others in their 50's who were not ready yet. You shouldn't be dissuaded based on your age. Rather your consideration for facial surgery should be based on your anatomy.Best of luck
Post vs Pre Tragus incision?
Inconspicuous Facelift Incision
Jun 1, 2016
Hi,A most important feature of any great facelift is an inconspicuous scar. That is really the focus of the discussion about pre or post tragal incisions. There is no incision that is best for every patient. The choice should really be based on a patients particular anatomy. Some may have a well defined crease in front of their ear which would conceal a pre tragal incision well. Others may not and do better with a retrotragal.Best of luck

This is consistent with my personal experience utilizing this method for years. I have never encountered any issue with lymph nodes. You also ask about swelling. All approaches to breast augmentation will result in some degree of swelling. The thing about swelling is it goes away,...

Leaking Implants

Hi myahd,If your implants are saline, you would definitely know if you had a leak. It becomes obvious rather quickly.If you have silicone, it never becomes obvious by appearance. The only way to tell is with an imaging study such as an MRI.From your picture, if they are saline, your right does not seem deflated.Best of luck,
Armpit Incision for Breast Augmentation Because Nipples Are Small?
Armpit Incisions are a Great Choice for Breast Augmentation
Nov 3, 2014
Hi Kinzie,Great question. In actuality the armpit incision is a great choice for breast augmentation regardless of areola size. I appreciate your concern with a visible scar. Avoiding this is actually a major advantage of the transaxillary approach.A well performed transaxillary incision places the scar in one of the natural folds that are always present in the armpit. The resulting scar will be concealed in this location. As with any incision it takes a while for the scar to fade. Having...
