Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is Tummy Tuck a good solution for diastasis recti?
Treatment of Diastasis Rectii
May 21, 2009
A tummy tuck (AKA abdominoplasty) is often combined with treatment of diastasis rectii. However, the treatment of diastasis rectii is in fact, repair of diastasis rectii.
Repairing a diastasis is not mandatory, but will improve the appearance of the abdomen.
Diastasis rectii does not cause the development of an umbilical hernia.
Furthermore, I am not aware of any studies correlating a diastasis rectii with lower back problems, or problems with stability & core strength.
If you are…
Is Azzalure better than Botox?
Azzalure is a type of Botulinum Toxin
May 13, 2009
Azzalure is a brand name for a formulation of Botulinum Toxin Type A . The same material that is found in Botox.

In the USA the brand name for Azzalure is Dysport. In other words the active ingredient in Azzalure is exactly the same as Dysport.

Dysport recently received FDA approval for use in the USA. Dysport is available through a company by the name of Medicis. This is the same company that makes Restylane and Perlane.

Even though the dose required to achieve a desired result…

Numbness and lumpiness after Facelift?
The healing process from facelift surgery
May 13, 2009
After undergoing a Facelift or any surgery, your body undergoes a process of inflammation and healing.
Although the sutures are usually removed in the first week after surgery, the healing process continues for up to 1 year.
All patients having a Facelift develop numbness in the cheeks since the skin of the face is lifted away from the underlying tissues. As a result, the nerves are no longer communicating with the skin. Fortunately, the nerves usually recover fully and the feeling returns…
When should breast augmentation sutures be removed?
Breast augmentation suture removal
May 13, 2009
Leaving sutures in place for too long can lead to additional scarring.
Factors determining the timing of suture removal depend on the type of skin closure.
1. If there is individual sutures going across the incision, they usually have to be removed within 5-7 days. Otherwise they can cause residual/permanent marks in the skin after they are removed.
2. If you have a removable sub-cuticular closure (in which case you can only see the suture at the ends of your incision), then they can be…
Surgeon to do local anesthesia for Body Jet Lipo?
Don’t be the first patient to try a new procedure
May 9, 2009
Body-Jet lipo has recently become available in the USA. It seems to be a safe procedure, but there is not a lot of data available yet.
When recommending procedure to my patients, I usually like to see a good track record. This way I will be comfortable with the results and the safety of the procedure.
It is absolutely safe to undergo a surgical procedure such as liposuction under local anesthesia. It is also safe to perform the procedure in a certified operating room. The addition of an…
Natural looking breast implants with transaxillary incision?
Consider endoscopic transaxillary approach
May 9, 2009
There are many approaches used for breast augmentation. The trans-axillary approach is especially appealing since it avoids incisions in and around the breast.
However, the only way to safely and precisely perform a breast augmentation through the axilla is to use an endoscope. In this way the pocket can be clearly visualized and proper implant placement can be achieved.
Many doctors are not comfortable with the use of the endoscope. They either do not perform this procedure or use blind…
What to expect with Medpor chin implant over time?
Effect of time on implants
May 9, 2009
Implants are used in the body for a variety of conditions. In some areas there is no other choice but to use an implant. For example in the case of breast augmentation, breast implants are the main option for enlarging the breasts.
However, in the chin another option is available that uses your own tissues to enlarge the chin. This procedure is called a genioplasty. It involves moving the chin bone slightly forward.
The risks from using your own tissue are significantly lower, but the…
How are liposuction prices determined?
A good result is priceless
May 9, 2009
With liposuction, the price is determined by the following variables. What areas do you want treated? How much needs to be removed from each area? What techniques will be required to deliver an optimal result? Who will be doing the procedure (an internist, a gynecologist, or a real plastic surgeon)? Where will the procedure be performed (in an accredited facility or in a back office)?
When it comes to liposuction, there are many options available. You may have heard of traditional tumescent…
How much is liposuction?
Many variables determine the cost of Liposuction
May 9, 2009
Although your question sounds pretty simple, it is in fact quite complicated.
It is similar to me asking you what a taxi ride costs. Your answer might be any of the following: Where are you looking to take the cab? How far do you intend to go?
With Liposuction, the variables are similar. What areas do you want treated? How much needs to be removed from each area? What techniques will be required to deliver an optimal result? Who will be doing the procedure (an internist, a gynecologist, or…
Can lipo improve my silhouette and reduce my dress size?
Super Def Lipo is likely your answer
May 9, 2009
There are many options available today that were not possible when you underwent your initial procedure.
We are very excited about our proprietary technique of VASER Super Def UAL. This approach uses a solid probe ultrasound that melts away the fat while preserving the structural components of the tissue. It also tightens the skin in ways that were not possible in the past.
You may have heard of good results with Smart Lipo, Laser Lipo, Vaser Hi Def, or Ultrasonic Lipo. All these procedures…
What to do with droopy eyelids after Botox?
You received Botox too close to the eye
Apr 27, 2009
Unfortunately, you have been given Botox too close to the eye, and this has resulted in weakness of the muscle that helps open the eyelid (AKA the Levator Muscle).
You can use an eye drop (Naphcon-A) to help open the eyelid by activating another muscle (AKA the Muller’s Muscle).
As you know, Botox generally lasts about 3-4 months. Fortunately, the effect of Botox on the Levator Muscle is shorter than it is in other areas. You should begin to see improvement within a couple of months…
Aquamid vs. Botox for crow’s feet?
Treatment of Crow’s Feet
Apr 25, 2009
There is a great deal of confusion regarding the appropriate use of fillers (such as Aquamid) and Botox.
Botox is the brand name for a product naturally produced by a bacteria. The product disables the movement of facial muscles. By stopping the muscle from moving, it allows wrinkles to smooth out over time. Botox has no filling effect.
By contrast, fillers fill the space under the wrinkle making it less noticeable. The muscles will still move normally. Examples of fillers are ArteFill,…
How far from home should I travel to find a Dr. for a tummy tuck?
As far as it takes
Apr 20, 2009
Deciding to undergo plastic surgery or any surgery for that matter is a very important decision that should not be taken lightly.
In our practice, we see patients from all over the country. We occasionally even see patients that come from Europe and Asia.
The important thing is to find a qualified surgeon and plan to stay in the local area for a few days after the surgery to make sure everything is healing properly. You may also plan to return for follow-up visits at some point in the…
How much does a facelift cost?
Facelift cost depends on what you are getting and where you are getting it.
Apr 18, 2009
Dear facelift candidate,
Many people have questions similar to yours. However, the answer is not so simple.
For example, if I asked you: how much does a toyota cost? You would probably respond by asking me which model am I interested in. You would also want to know where I plan to purchase it. Clearly, a Camry would have a different price than a 4 Runner. Also, depending on where in the world I plan to make a purchase, the price might differ greatly.
Estimating the cost of surgery is even…
Should I switch to high profile breast implants?
Selecting the proper implant
Apr 13, 2009
The choice of implant often depends on the patient’s anatomy.
Generally speaking, higher profile implants have a narrower diameter and would work better in a patient with a smaller frame. Furthermore, high profile implant project forward more, so they will appear bigger than a low profile implant of the same volume.
Another factor to consider is that high profile implants tend to cause less rippling. This is especially important in thin individuals.
Based on your description, you have a…
