Mouth Too Narrow for Lip Implants – Only 4 Centimeters from End to End
How To Get The Perfect Bee-Stung Lips
Apr 12, 2011
If you are looking for the bee-stung lips, it would be much easier to have Restylane, or Juvederm injections. It is possible to trim Alloderm implants, but I find natural Restylane fillers easier & far more natural-looking than permanent implants that won't age gracefully with your face.
Microdermabasion or Facials at a Young Age?
Can I Have Microdermabrasion At A Young Age?
Apr 12, 2011
I would try the microdermabrasion & do 5 sessions, 3 weeks apart. I think that's going to be far more effective than than doing a "parlor peel," or a having a facial done at a spa. If you happen to have acne scars, a Fraxel, or a deeper chemical peel might be appropriate for you. You should decide this with the guidance of a board certified dermatologist. Your goals should be clearly stated and your intervention should be based on those. At my new york dermatology group,…
Under Eye Still Puffy 9 Months After Botox
I Had Botox 9 Months Ago & My Under-Eye Area Is Still Puffy!
Apr 12, 2011
Botox for crows feet generally does not result in puffiness. The Botox really only lasts for a maximum of 6 months. When Botox is done around the lateral eye, it slows the movement of the periocular muscles, so this can result in some temporary bunching of the muscles when we smile, but it wouldn't cause edema . I have heard some reports of this phenomenon, but I have not witnessed it at my practice.

I would advise having your ophthalmologist examine your eyes to rule out any other…

When Can I Do a Facial After Restylane?
How many cosmetic procedures can I have done on the same day?
Apr 11, 2011
It would be best to wait a week before having any treatments that could alter the Restylane. After a week the Restylane really "sets" and you can then proceed with whatever routines you like. Treatments that would avoid the area where the Restylane was injected are fine. Don't massage your face, don't have the type of facial that incorporates massage near the treatment area.

If you wanted a laser treatment, waiting a week after is fine and you could have Botox done on…

Microdermabrasion at Home
Are at-home microdermabrasion kits safe, or should I see a dermatologist?
Mar 22, 2011
It's a good idea to visit a board certified dermatologist & have them do a few Microdermabrasion treatments in their office the proper way. After you have experienced professional microdermabrasion & have achieved the results, you can speak with your dermatologist about your skincare needs & then consider what type of exfoliation is good for your skin. At my practice I like to utilize the Parisian Peel System. I also created an easy to use at-home microdermabrasion facial…
Sunblock or Moisturizer After Toning?
Sunblock before, or after toner & moisturizer?
Mar 22, 2011
Apply the sunblock after you use your toner. You can even mix your favorite sunblock right in with a favorite moisturizer & blend them on all together. These molecules are compatible and may even have some synergy. All physicians insist on some degree of UV defense, so I'm pleased to see that you're doing the right thing.
Is There Any Help to Remove a Deep Furrow in Forehead
Removing deep lines & furrows on your forehead.
Mar 22, 2011
A deep forehead furrow can be improved upon, indeed. Sometimes just a little Dysport injection accompanied by a little bit of Restylane filler will do the trick. If the line is vertical between the eyes– this almost always works. If the furrow is horizontal & across the forehead, you may need more of both products. In any case there is a good chance that you will have a very nice result. Plan to repeat the procedure twice a year & you will note that it gets better each time you do…
How to Treat Melasma After Fraxel Dual Laser 1927?
Treating Melasma After Fraxel Dual Laser 1927
Mar 10, 2011
Many MDs will treat post-fraxel hyperpigmentation with broad spectrum daily sunblock, hydroquinone 4% gel and one percent hydrocortisone & perhaps a retinoid.  Melasma is very difficult to treat.  I would be optimistic and go back to a dermatologist and slowly try to lighten them up with topicals. If you no longer trust the Fraxel, sometimes regular, light, Beta-Lift peels can be helpful as well.  Avoid the sun and always wear broad-spectrum SPF. If you drive a lot, put UV…
Does Insurance Pay for V-Beam for Burns from Radiation Treatments?
Will Insurance Pay for V-Beam for Burns from Radiation Treatment?
Mar 10, 2011
You would have to contact your insurance carrier. Include pictures and medical letters from your Radiation oncologist and from your dermatologist. Accurately describe your condition and then it is up to your insurance carrier to make this decision. If you have excellent documentation & keep records of all the names of the insurance reps, you stand a better chance. Some carriers will approve & others will not. Be persistent and include medical journal articles which document that…
Does Fraxel Restore 1550/1927 Work for Acne Scars?
Fraxel Treatments For Acne Scars
Mar 10, 2011
The Fraxel 1550 laser works very well for acne scars. The settings can be modulated for your degree of scarring. Other options are TCA peels, Jessner peels, Beta-Lift peels, regular Microdermabrasion and the use of retinoids. This should all be done with an experienced board certified dermatologist. The skin type and degree of scarring will dictate the type of treatment.
Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation (PIH) – Treatment Options?
Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation (PIH) Treatment Options
Mar 10, 2011
I would suggest a series of Fraxel treatments, possibly 3 treatments performed 1 month apart. Your doctor might suggest a 4% bleaching gel between these treatments, as well as a retinoid. This could very well yield a good result. Also, if they're done often enough– Beta-lift peels, Glycolic peels, or Jessner Peels can give great results.
25% TCA for Back Scars (Dark Skin)?
Using TCA 25% Peel To Treat Scars
Mar 10, 2011
I would not recommend a TCA 25% peel for your back scars. In a darker skin tone, this could very well lead to hyper-pigmentation. As a safe and more effective option, I might recommend that you seek consultation for a Fraxel treatment of the scars. This would be a far more reliable way to achieve improvement and should only be done by a skilled laser surgeon.  This would also depend on the type of scars that you have on your back. Are they raised scars, or depressed? Are they light…
How Long Can I Get Fillers in My Nose?
Fillers Failing after Rhinoplasty
Mar 10, 2011
There are many fillers besides hyaluronic acids. An appropriate option may be Radiesse, as it is a thicker filler. I would do this in conjunction with your surgeon & perhaps a dermatologist who has extensive experience with all types of fillers. Fillers can be safely repeated every 3-6 months. Sometimes the defects are not amenable to fillers & that is sometimes noted only after a few filler attempts have failed. A skilled surgeon could likely repair the areas with other types of…
Juvederm Puffiness on Nasolabial Fold
Complications From Facial Fillers
Mar 10, 2011
If you feel that you have extra fullness from the injections, this will eventually resolve on its own. However, if you are bothered by it and want it removed, there is an antidote which can be injected to dissolve the Juvederm.   Only you and your dermatologist can make this decision together. Most of the time the puffiness will simply even out and generally subsides within 3 months. I would advise that it's best for you to go back to your dermatologist and to show the doctor your…
Sun After Fraxel?
Exposure to the sun after your Fraxel treatment
Mar 10, 2011
After you've had your Fraxel treatment, I'd recommend wearing a wide-brimmed hat and consistent reapplication of a PABA and fragrance-free "broad-spectrum" sunscreen to block both UVA (aging) & UVB (burning) rays.

While I'll always warn that you should never sunbathe, regular tourist activities often include exposure to the sun, so the reapplication of an SPF 30 (or higher) will give you some protection. If you've had a Fraxel for eliminating melasma, or any…
