I Have Had Scc on Lower Eyelid for 5-6 Yrs. It’s Grown Deep, What Can I Expect From the Mohs Scar?
Mohs for SCC
Feb 15, 2012
Mohs is the best way to take care of an SCC on the cheek. Mohs actually spares the normal skin in the area keeping the scar as small as possible while taking out the skin cancer. its hard to tell how deep the skin cancer goes based on clinical appearance. This is why we use a microscope to see the margins of the tumor. Make sure you have this procedure done by a certified Mohs surgeon who is trained extensively in doing these procedures. This will assure the procedure is…
I Have Been Treated with Hyalase After a Bad Situation of Juvederm Under Eyes. What Are the Side Effec
Hyaluronidase
Feb 15, 2012
Hyaluronidase is used to treat areas in the skin that have been filled with hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane. It works by dissolving the product and is great for areas that have been over or unevenly filled. There are very minimal side effects with the worst being an indentation left in the skin if too much of the hylauronidase is used. Please make sure you see a physician who is experienced in hyaluronidase injections to minimize this complication.

Under eye wrinkles
Feb 15, 2012
The skin under the eyes is very susceptible to aging given its thin collagen and elastic fiber layers. To beginning with make sure you have a good skin care regiment and are sing sunscreen daily. This will help prevent further damage. For treatment I have found a combination of laser resurfacing, Botox and fillers can do wonders.
Could This Work if I Had a Filler 5 Years Ago Which is Still Present, and Uneven?
Restylane after 5 years.
Feb 15, 2012
I have actually seen Restylane last for several years. however, it depends in the areas where it was injected to. For example, around the eyes tends to last longer because there is very little movement in the area as opposed to the lips. i would have a board certified physician evaluate the area and see if anything can be done. You may need additional filler to even out the area. Don't forget, despite having filler, we continue to age and our skin ages in 5…
Deep Wrinkle on Cheek That Doesnt Go Away with Fillers, What Other Options Do I Have?
Filler for lines
Feb 15, 2012
Thank you for the picture, this is very helpful. These lines can often be difficult to treat. I have found that using Restylane in a more superficial pattern can often fill in the valley that is creating the line appearance. Juvederm has slightly more fluidity then Restylane and may not fill the area as well. Make sure you go to a a board certified physician who has experience with fillers in this area.
