Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What do I do now? Post necklift; doctor removed too much fat?
Revision necklift
Nov 14, 2016
Based on the photos, I do agree with the other surgeons that a formal consultation would be required to give you any clear direction. However it does seem that you will need a revision neck lift that includes better treatment of the deep layer of the neck which means removal of additional deep or subplatysmal fat in the neck along with reducing the size of the submandibular glands and digastric muscles. This can be done through an incision under the chin. For optimal…
I would like my neck, face and eyes lifted. Can this be completed all in one operation?
Combinig facial procedures
Nov 14, 2016
Yes these procedures can definitely be combined in one operation. The advantages of this include having one recovery period to go through and probably a reduction in cost. The disadvantages include a longer surgery time however it has been shown to be safe to do these types of procedures together as long as you are healthy and medically cleared for surgery.
Is a lip lift a better choice than an implant for aging lips?
Lip lift versus implant
Aug 26, 2016
In general a lip lift aims to shorten the distance between the nostril and the red part of the lip. This will not make the philtrum fuller but it will definitely decrease the length. If the lips are sill need more fullness, fat grafting could be combined with this lip lift. If the corners of the mouth are already angled downward than this could be made worse with a lip lift and may need a corner mouth lift in addition to a lip lift.
Other names for high-SMAS facelift?
High SMAS
Aug 26, 2016
A high SMAS specifically means that the upper border of the SMAS flap is started higher, closer to the upper edge of the cheek bone which allows for some lifting of the cheek and lower eyelid. A low SMAS flap will just affect the area around the mouth and jowl and not include the cheek. Deep plan and extended SMAS are more descriptive terms that are used to mean different things by different surgeons and are not synonymous with high SMAS flap.
Chin implant for 20 years & it needs to be removed for medical reasons. I am afraid it’s going to
CHin infection
Aug 26, 2016
First you must determine if the implant is infected. You should see a plastic surgeon or and have the “zit” treated which may require drainage and/or antibiotics, etc and determine if the implant is the source of infection. If that is the case then the only solution is to have the implant removed and not replaced. That will give you the opportunity to evaluate your appearance and determine the need for replacement of the chin implant after you have fully recovered and the…
Am I a good candidate for Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal
Aug 26, 2016
I think one of the best ways to determine if you are a good candidate is to suck in your cheeks in the mirror and see if you like the affect. This simulates pretty well the affect of buccal fat excision. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia or sedation, and the recovery is minimal. Most patients can return to all basic activities the next day and most swelling resolves in 2-3 weeks.
I’m self conscious about how severely my neck slopes into my chin – how can I fix it?
Neck fullness
Aug 22, 2016
For most patients with naturally full necks,the problem area is deep in the neck below the skin and platysma muscle. There is a deep fat pad centrally and large salivary glands on either side of this fat pad and sometimes even bulky muscles deeper in the neck. Through a short scar under the chin, we can get access to this area and debulk these tissues to create a much sharper angle to the neckline. For young patients, this does not require any scars around the ears or any…
Are there certain type of facelifts that cannot be up for revision?
Is a revision possible
Aug 22, 2016
If a SMAS flap was elevated properly, usually it can be elevated again during a revision facelift. Even if it cannot be elevated again, other techniques are still available that can work well. Even if the first procedure was done poorly, often a revision can still be performed with significant improvement. Likely focusing on volume replacement (ie fat grafting) as well during a second procedure can significantly improve the outcome if this was not done during the first operation.
Face lift – short term gratification or long term result?
Long term results of a facelif
Aug 22, 2016
10 years after a facelift, a patient will still look better than if they had never had the procedure. This improvement compared to never having a procedure done, will last a lifetime. However this does not mean that at ten years, the patient won’t be a candidate for another facelift. This depends on typical aging factors such as genetics, sun expose, smoking, etc. So in summary, although facial rejuvenation surgery of any kind does not stop the clock on aging, it does…
I am four weeks post face/neck lift with lpyo on chin. My swelling is not going down. No compress
Compression strap
Jul 25, 2016
Hello, I don’t think a compression strap is essential for a typical neck liposuction. Ultimately I would refer this question to your surgeon as each surgeon will have a different philosophy about postoperative dressing and care. Although some surgeons recommend using such compression garments and they can help with swelling in the short term, I don’t think it will alter the final result and they may not be worth the trouble. Also if not applied correctly these straps can be…
Would a neck lift be the best option?
Neck Lift
Jul 25, 2016
Based on what you are describing I think a short scar neck lift (scar only under chin) would be a reasonable option to consider. However such an approach needs to focus on the deep layer of the neck below the platysma muscle while preserving all the remaining fat on top of the platysma muscle below the skin that has already been treated with liposuction. Removing any more of this fat layer will likely make the neck look worse. However focusing on the deeper layer which…
Facelift revisions/touch-ups: how do surgeons decide if they will do this, or when the patient is
Platysmal bands and loose skin
Jul 25, 2016
Both of the above problems can be difficult areas to obtain a very consistent result or improvement. I think the only real reason most surgeons will refuse is if they believe the revision or “touch up” will not correct the problem or will make only a minimal improvement that is not worth the risk of a revision. If there is little fat covering the platysma muscle, even mild banding may be visible and hard to treat. If the platysma was not divided along the cord with the…
Is there an ideal nostril width? For example, should your nostrils line up with the inner corners
nostril width
Mar 21, 2016
Yes what you say is generally considered ideal for a caucasian.  However each individual is very different and there are many exceptions.  So for instance someone may still have a very pretty nose but have nostrils that are wider than the width between the inner parts of the eyes, and vice versa.  Ultimately these ideals need to be looked at with an aesthetic eye to determine if they are correct for each individual.
Lost weight – skin isn’t rebounding. Daughter passed away & the sadness has aged me more. I don’t
Lost weight, multiple procedures of interest
Mar 21, 2016
As you said it is very difficult to even make a guess without examining you but at least we can give you some direction.  As you are talking about many procedures all over the body, it is unlikely they all can be done in one surgery as this would not be safe or practical.  Based on the areas you have described it may make sense to have the facial procedure, ie necklift with eyes in one surgery then have a second surgery for breast reduction, liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks…
Why would my neck look like this after two surgeries?
Neck result
Mar 7, 2016
It is hard to say exactly not knowing what you looked like previously, without an examination, and what was done in surgery but it seems like you have recurrent platysmal bands.  Bands can be “hard bands” or “soft bands”.  Hard bands are accentuated with platysmal activation and represent true bowstringing of the plasyma where as soft bands do not worsen with platysmal activation and represent muscle and skin laxity.  The proper treatment now involves treating the deep layer of the neck…
