Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Blepharoplasty – The incisions are not in the fold.
10 days after eyelid surgery
May 31, 2016
Hi. It is still too early in order to know where the final incision line will be due to the amount of swelling that you still have. Give it 1-2 months in order to get 80-90% of the swelling to go away in order to start making any evaluation of results or incision placement.Hope this helps,Dr. Gus Diaz
Facelift/necklift healing sensations – how do surgeons know what’s normal if they haven’t experienc
Facelift/necklift healing sensations – how do surgeons know what’s normal if they haven’t experienced the surgery themselves?
Apr 14, 2016
Your point of view is understandable. Many physicians have not experienced a facelift themselves. But, they have performed hundreds if not thousands facelift procedures and their experience is formed by seeing the patients over and over again.The pulling and hard sensation that you express is normal from any surgery, not only facelift. For quite a while I felt the pulling sensation from my ear surgery and appendix surgery. At about the year mark the pulling or tight sensation went away. So…
Eyelid fat and extreme overall fat loss. Any suggestions?
Eyelid fat and extreme overall fat loss.
Apr 14, 2016
Unfortunately the fat around the eyes does not respond to weight changes. This fat is genetically inclined to always stay. Surgical removal will be your option.Hope this helps,Dr. Gus Diaz
I have a chin implant and neck liposuction, and I was wondering what chin implant would be the best
I have a chin implant and neck liposuction, and I was wondering what chin implant would be the best for me?
Apr 14, 2016
I believe that both procedures will improve dramatically your facial balance. The chin implant will improve your profile as you appear to have a weak chin. The submental and neck liposuction will reduce the excess fullness that you also have and bring more definition. Please consult with a board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in your area.Hope this helps,Dr. Gus DiazBoard Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.
Uneven eyes/eyebrows. What can be done about this?
Uneven eyes/eyebrows.
Apr 14, 2016
Position and shape of the brows can be modified by using Botox and/or fillers. Please consult with a board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in your area for your alternatives. An in -person facial exam will be necessary in order to correctly advice you. Some of these asymmetries are caused due to different bone volume or muscle volumes on each side of the face. Treatment can improve the condition, but do not expect perfection or complete symmetry at rest/motion.Hope this helps.Dr. Gus …
I have one eye larger than the other. Is there a non surgical way to fix it?
I have one eye larger than the other.
Apr 8, 2016
Some patients will have different bony configuration form one side of the face to the other. Other patients have different amounts of soft tissue. An in-person physical exam has to be performed in order to determine what the problem is and if it can be helped by surgery or non-surgical methods.Hope this helps,Dr. Gus Diaz
Which would you recommend; Lipo, Kybella or neck lift?
Which would you recommend?
Apr 7, 2016
Looking at your pictures, you have a considerable amount of fat and excess skin on your submental (under the chin) area. You need a procedure that is able to remove the fat and decrease the amount of excess skin at the same time. The gold standard for that is a neck lift or lift. It will be able to remove most of that fat and help with removal of the excess skin.A non-surgical option is Smartlipo of the neck. This minimally invasive procedure will be able to remove a considerable amount of…
