Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Are jowls part of the cheek that has fallen down onto the jawline?
Fallen jowls
Apr 21, 2021
The answer is both! The jowl is actually a fat pad and will enlarge with weight gain; it also becomes more prominent with aging partly because facial volume in adjacent areas of the cheek can diminish relative to the jowl. The jowls are definitely part of the cheek and typically descend below the jaw line with aging, just as other areas of facial soft tissue sink because of gravity (referred to as “gravitational aging”).

The best solution to jowls that have descended is a face lift, whi...

Would a Botox brow lift help?
IPL photo facials and facial fat augmentation
Jan 21, 2020
The edited (“facetuned”) photo shows a more even skin tone; increased volume in the lips, around the eyes and in the cheeks; and slightly raised lateral eye brows. A series of IPL photo facials would help reduce excess pigmentation (sun spots) and redness. Volume can be added with fillers; the most natural and long-lasting choice of filler would be autologous fat (lipo-augmentation). Lipo-augmentation of the peri-orbital area (Natural Eyelid Lift) can restore lost volume in both the uppe...
Would a lip lift create an aesthetic appearance on these lips?
Upper Lip Lift
Aug 27, 2019
Thanks for the question and for providing a helpful series of photos. I think you are a good candidate for an upper lip lift. In photo #4 you have a small amount of teeth visibility; this would be increased as a result of a lip lift and would get you closer to your desired look while smiling.
You do have somewhat of a “high arch” to the upper lip but because your nose is a bit wide the length of the skin excision would be wider as well, enabling more of a lateral lift than would oth...
What kind of local anaesthesia is usually used for doing blepharoplasty? And what kind of oral se
Local anesthesia and sedation for lower lid blepharoplasty
Aug 6, 2019
For lower lid blepharoplasty I first do a block of the infra-orbital nerve (this usually numbs most of the lower lid) using 0.5% bupivacaine (Marcaine) with epinephrine. This is followed by direct injection of 2% lidocaine (Xylocaine) with epinephrine into the lower eyelid area. The epinephrine constricts small blood vessels, which prolongs the effect of the local anesthetic and reduces intra-operative bleeding and bruising. Marcaine and Xylocaine are "trade names" for the listed generic...
Pastel colored tattoo removal. What are the chances of having it removed completely?
Laser removal of pastel colored tattoo
Jul 5, 2019
Thanks for your question. Your tattoo includes some "exotic" colors that include less-commonly used inks. It may be difficult to achieve 100% clearance of this tattoo, mainly because yellow tends to be pretty unresponsive to laser treatment.Of the colors we see, black is the most responsive and usually clears completely with both 1064 nm and 755 nm laser wavelengths. Dark purple usually responds to treatment with 1064 nm laser wavelength. Reddish tones are best treated with 532 nm laser ene...
Follow-up Question: 38 year old woman with abdominal fat that won't go away with diet or exercise
Liposuction vs CoolSculpting
Mar 25, 2019
Thanks for your question and the photos. You are a very good candidate for laser-assisted liposuction. CoolSculpting is also an option. Liposuction is always a more reliable choice because in this procedure fat is directly removed and is actually quantitated. In all patients, fat removal is successful. The quality of the results is determined by the experience and skill of the surgeon.
In contrast, results from CoolSculpting can vary from patient to patient. Fat cell death after...
Would tattoo removal be possible for my tattoo?
Multi-color tattoo removal is possible with the right combination of lasers
Mar 8, 2019
Great question! As I discuss in my book “Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery” multi-colored tattoos like this one may require the use of two or more laser wavelengths for complete clearance. Because the FDA does not regulate tattoo inks, it can be difficult to predict exactly how well tattoo inks will respond to treatment with a given laser wavelength. 

Your tattoo includes blue, green, orange and black colors. Black is the only ink color that is treatable by all the available laser wave...

Fillers or surgery for my tear trough issue?
Lower lid blepharoplasty vs filler for tear troughs
Mar 7, 2019
Thanks for your question and photos. You have fairly prominent excess orbital fat, which causes bulging in the lower eyelid area. The bulging also appears to be a bit uneven, with more on your left side than on the right. The best solution is to remove the excess orbital fat; this is what is done by a lower lid blepharoplasty. A filler injection into the "tear troughs" would also help but would only address the more medial area between the eyelid and nose (see accompanying video). 
You ...
Can I remove this tattoo?
PicoSure and PiQo4 lasers for tattoo removal
May 15, 2018
Alyssa:Picosecond laser treatments will provide the quickest tattoo removal. The blue color may respond best to the PiQo4 laser (1064 nm). If there is any green (or blue-green) the PicoSure laser (755 nm) would likely work better. You can't always tell in advance because there are many tattoo inks in use (up to 300), all with different chemical composition. Sometimes inks are mixed together and the tattoo color changes as one ink fades faster than the other. We have both of these lasers a...
Botox in forehead: now my brows are lower than ever.
Botox in forehead lowers eye brows
Feb 26, 2018
Botox injected into the forehead is not a good treatment for a heavy brow. The muscle that lifts the brows is the frontalis muscle. Activity of this muscle causes horizontal wrinkles in the forehead; these can be improved by weakening the muscle activity but if the frontalis is weakened too much or totally paralyzed, the brows will sink even lower.The ideal treatment for sagging eyebrows is a brow lift (also called forehead lift). With the minimal incision endoscopic approach there is little...

The upper arms are one of the body areas in which laser-assisted liposuction is the best option. Although your skin tone in the upper arms looks pretty good you would definitely see greater tightening if the laser-assisted as opposed to conventional liposuction.
Liposuction is most safe when tumescent local anesthesia is used. However, there is a limit to how many body areas can safely be done in one session. The dose of lidocaine used is the determining factor, and should be kept below the...
Can you remove sections of a tattoo not the entire thing?
Laser removal of parts of a tattoo
Feb 20, 2018
Yes it is possible to treat just sections of a tattoo without treating the entire tattoo. Lasers are quite precise and when focused to a small spot size can treat small parts of the tattoo, such as the lines you described.
There may be a little bit of overlap into parts of the tattoo to be preserved; these sections of the tattoo may have to be “touched up” later by the tattoo artist in order to restore the full image.
Tattoos ideally should be treated with picosecond lasers. Picosecond laser...

Enhanced Active FX: A CO2 laser resurfacing that does it all
Feb 9, 2018
Thanks for your question. Yes there is a type of laser resurfacing that can do all of these things in only one treatment: Enhanced Active FX, a type of CO2 laser resurfacing. Active FX is a fractional laser treatment; in the enhanced version the CO laser energy is delivered to the skin at a faster rate and covers the entire skin surface. There is immediate tightening (contraction) of the skin, which smooths wrinkles especially around the eyes and in the cheek area. Within a few days the...

Botox for assymmetric eyebrows
Feb 5, 2018
Thanks for your question. Asymmetry of brow position is quite common and results from a patient using their forehead (frontalis) muscle more on one side than on the other. There is often a near-constant subconscious tone in this muscle throughout the day. The side of the forehead with greater muscle tone usually develops more wrinkles. The simplest non-surgical option is Botox or other neurotoxin, more of which is used on the overactive side. Total paralysis of the frontalis is not a good ...
How many laser resurfacing treatments are recommended for wrinkles under the eye?
Erbium laser resurfacing around the eyes
Feb 2, 2018
I do peri-orbital (around the eyes) laser resurfacing with the Sciton erbium laser. We use TRL mode to increase contraction of the skin in the crows feet area. We apply a DuoDERM dressing to the treated skin to speed up healing; almost all patients are 100% healed within seven days (when we remove the dressing). Only one treatment is necessary with the Sciton erbium laser. Post-operative redness in the treated area will fade within a few weeks; during this time it is important to limit sun...
