Even though I obviously didn’t get enough Dysport the first time, should I still see at least a
No response to Dysport 1st time
May 18, 2017
Dear GG Dianne:
35 units of Dysport to treat both the glabellar area and forehead is insufficient. There is not a direct correlation between Botox and Dysport, it varies slightly from patient to patient. Typically, it takes between 3 and 5 units of Dysport to get the same effect of 1 unit of Botox, so you received the equivalent of 7-12 units of Botox which is simply inadequate to treat either of these areas. I evaluate the amount of muscle contraction of the area I am…
23 year old – horizontal lines between eyes?
Horizontal lines between eyes
May 18, 2017
These lines look like “bunny lines” developing from scrunching your nose. Low dose Botox will relax these. This type of facial movement responds well to biofeedback, in that, if you can’t do it, you tend to stop doing the ‘scrunching’. Due to blood flow in this area, I agree that this is a danger zone for injecting fillers requiring long time expertise, and would only consider if the Botox does not adequately address your problem. I have been injecting Botox since the…
Is it safe to have Restylane injections, chemical peels, and microdermabrasions while pregnant?
Safety of Restylane, chemical peels or microdermabrasion during pregnancy
May 18, 2017
Kudos to you for checking on safety of these during your pregnancy. As the other doctors indicated, such safety tests are not conducted on pregnant women. Any chemical substance, such as in a peel, or the anesthetic in the Restylane, are unknowns as far as fetal safety. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane and Juvederm actually occurs in the body, but no testing is available as to safety in injecting it during pregnancy. The microdermabrasion should be safe if the…
Why is EKG (+blood tests) required for upper eyelid blepharoplasty under IV sedation based solel
Routine lab/EKG prior to elective lid surgery
May 18, 2017
Dear Bob F,
All outpatient surgery facilities I work at in Houston have a protocol in place for elective outpatient surgical procedures regarding EKG’s and lab work. Your surgeon typically does not have a say in this unless the surgery is performed in their office. This is performed for safety reasons for the patient. If any abnormalities show up on lab work or EKG, evaluation prior to surgery may be required. If you just recently had lab work and EKG from your…
Frontalis Sling for ptosis is completely Reversible?
Frontalis sling ptosis repair
Sep 3, 2015
Your information requires more detail. Age is important in these procedures. Are you a child or adult? Children tolerate the frontalis sling better than adults with the night-time exposure from the incomplete lid closure. When you say poor levator function, how many millimeters of function exist? A sling is necessary when there is no levator function. If there is some, then a levator advancement combined with a tarsoconjunctival resection can give a very nice…
Doctor has practically zero internet reviews but came highly recommended. Is that ok?
Lack of social media profile
Sep 3, 2015
I agree completely with the other responders. Word of mouth is always the best referral. You can also ask your primary care physician if they are familiar with the physician recommended. Due to government privacy regulations, physicians are unable to respond to untruths published online by a patient. For many physicians, they prefer not to develop a social media profile because of this.
Eye lift 2003 and now I need work again!
Improving eyelid skin tone
Sep 3, 2015
What you are describing is loss of collagen and elastin in your skin allowing it to become loose and wrinkly. There are many ways to stimulate collagen production within your skin. Laser is one. Other methods are topical preparations you apply at home, chemical peels and microdermabrasion. Since you have seen a surgeon who does not recommend surgical removal of skin, but rather the laser to the skin, it is most likely that loss of collagen and elastin are the culprits…
