Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Mastopexy and aug revision- is 600 cc too big?
Is the doctor's suggestion for implant size too big?
Feb 25, 2022
The determination of the right implant size for you is a decision that should be made between you and your surgeon. That being said, 600 cc implants are on the larger side of the spectrum of implant sizes and a large implant size is not necessary to take up the excess skin that is seen on your photos as a revision of the mastopexy would correct that. Because I do not have the measurements of your breasts, I can only make an educated guess that in order to fit 600 mls within the base width of...
Breast Revision. Can I go a little bigger with moderate plus profile for a more natural look?
Implant size selection
Feb 22, 2022
Thank you for your question. Selection of breast implant size should be a decision which is jointly made by both the patient and the surgeon. The patient should feel free to voice her preference for breast implant size while the surgeon can advise what implant sizes are appropriate for the patient, given the limitation of her tissue characteristics. I cannot comment further as there are no photos to examine. Keep in mind, that the larger the implant, that the greater the risk for tissue...
Surgeon is going to determine breast implant size - is that normal?
Determination of implant size.
Feb 22, 2022
Thank you for your question. Determination of implant size is an issue that should be determined with both the patient and the doctor participating in the decision-making process. The patient can voice her preference for her implant size and the doctor should then try to match the implant preference of the patient as much as her tissues will allow. One caveat that many patients do not realize is that in performing a lift or a mastopexy, there will be reduction of the breast envelope that is...
Incision holes and bumps around scar 9 months after surgery. What could this be?
Scars after breast augmentation
Feb 22, 2022
Thank you for your question. I looked at your photos very carefully and what I see is some hypertrophic change of the scars. In our practice, we have a post-surgical scar protocol involving the use of medical grade silicone gel, steroid injections and if necessary NdYAG 1064 laser treatments of the scar. If you are not happy with the scar I would strongly advise you return to your surgeon and ask for him or her to look at it. You mentioned that you had some holes and some bumps in the scar....
Recovery for nurses. How long will I need to take off work after a breast augmentation surgery?
Nurse getting a breast augmentation
Feb 22, 2022
Thank you for your question. I can address your question in general terms but it depends on two things: 1) what type of nursing job do you have? Do you have an administrative job or are you involved in lifting patients? 2) whether or not the breast implants are placed above or below the muscle. Many practitioners by default will place the implants beneath the muscle with the objective of minimizing the risk of capsular contracture of the breasts. However, it is quite safe to put that the...
What surgery will I need to correct my uneven breasts?
Tuberous breast deformity
Feb 22, 2022
Thank you for your question. First of all I only have 1 picture of one breast so it is hard to determine what the other breast looks like. Having said that, surgery of a tuberous breast deformity is a highly specialized procedure. The tuberous breast can be augmented but it is quite different from augmentation of a normally developed breast. The surgeon could use a series of sizers intraoperatively to achieve reasonable symmetry of the 2 breasts. The nipple areolar complex could be reduced...
Is it possible to get a boob job and veneers done in a maximum of 14 days?
Breast augmentation with veneers
Feb 22, 2022
The greatest risk for capsular contracture of breast implants is bacterial contamination of the implants. Having an oral procedure done after a breast augmentation would run the theoretical risk of bacterial contamination of the implants.A two-week separation of the 2 procedures no matter which order they were in would be too short of an interval in my opinion.
Will laser hair removal on cheekbones/upper lip cause it to grow back thicker?
Hair regrowth after laser hair treatment
Jan 18, 2021
Hi, Thank you for your question. Laser hair treatment should have the effect of reducing the amount of hair regrowth. Any hairs that grow back are typically finer in character. You have dark pigmentation to your hair so you should get a good response to the treatment as the target for the laser, called the chromophore, is the pigment in the hair. The hair needs to be shaved flush to the skin immediately prior to treatment to avoid skin burns. Hope that this helps. Good luck.
For someone who has sensitive skin that was once burned by Fraxel laser, is Laser Genesis recom
Laser Genesis for sensitive skin
Jan 18, 2021
Hi, Thank you for your question. From your question and the information that you provided, I infer that your burns were minor and did not leave any permanent scarring. Laser Genesis (Nd-YAG 1064) is a rather gentle laser and is quite safe in the right hands. Laser Genesis can be administered at time intervals from 2 - 4 weeks between treatments depending on your response. Hope that this helps. Good luck.
Will laser treatments help unwanted facial hair from using Minoxidil after two months 3%
Laser hair treatments
Jan 18, 2021
Hi, Thank you for your question. The answer is if you are looking for complete removal of all hair, you are setting your expectations too high. Many have suggested that rather than saying "laser hair removal" the phrase "laser hair reduction" would be both more appropriate and more accurate. Oral minoxidil can be associated with a systemic effect, but if you are applying to the scalp for hair loss, the systemic levels should be below the threshold to induce systemic hypertrichosis or...
Can Laser Genesis repair damaged pores from squeezing acne and blackheads?
Large pores
Jan 18, 2021
Hi, I don't have a photo to work from but I suspect that Secret RF, which is a radiofrequency microneedling machine, may be the treatment for you. The penetration of the tines into the skin is controlled to a tenth of a mm. The discharge of radiofrequency energy to the dermis results in tiny areas of inflammation that ultimately result in collagen turnover and the reduction of the appearance of small scars and improvement of others. Hope that this helps. Good luck.
Laser Genesis for acne and acne scars?
Cleansing of skin prior to Laser Genesis
Jan 18, 2021
Hi, Thank you for your question. Cleansing of the skin is always a good practice prior to the administration of any aesthetic treatment of the skin. As the skin was not penetrated, the risk to you of an adverse event is low. Hope that this helps put your mind at ease.
Does laser genesis feel like and sound like rubber bands being snapped on your skin? Leave smal
What does Laser Genesis feel like?
Jan 18, 2021
Hi, Thank you for your question. Laser Genesis is an Nd-YAG 1064 laser that is used in the defocused mode. The object of the treatment is to heat the skin just to the point of discomfort and then stop. When given by an experienced operator, you should not sustain burns as a result of treatment. Cooling can also be done immediately after treatment which further reduces the risk of adverse events. Hope that this helps. Good luck.
If I want to maintain long term effects how frequently should I get laser genesis?
Frequency of Laser Genesis
Jan 18, 2021
Hi, Thank you for your question. Laser Genesis can be done every 2 - 4 weeks. You did not mention the time intervals between the treatments that you had in the past but I infer that they were effective. I would use that interval as a starting point and after you have established good control of your acne, you could then start slowly titrating up the time intervals between treatments and gauge the durability of the response between treatments. The other thing that you could do is to enlist...
How risky is Laser Genesis? WHat is the likelihood of fat loss?
Fat loss with Laser Genesis?
Jan 18, 2021
Hi, Thank you for your question. To the best of my knowledge, there is no association of the use of Laser Genesis and fat loss. I have not seen any evidence of fat loss with our Laser Genesis machine in our practice. Hope that this helps. Good luck.
