Will this line disappear under my eye once I fix the sinus infection or allergy problem?
Correction of a line under the eye
Sep 5, 2018
Sep 5, 2018
Thanks for the question and the photo. Unfortunately,
it is impossible to predict what might happen in an individual case like yours.
However, it is certainly possible that the line is directly related to a sinus
infection or an allergic reaction. It is also possible that the line may remain
indefinitely. If this is the case, fortunately, there are many nonsurgical options
available to improve the situation. If the line persists after you have
recovered from your allergy/infection, then I…

I really want to get filler done on nasolabial folds. I am scared of artery occlusion. How common
Artery occlusion with facial filler
Sep 5, 2018
Sep 5, 2018
Thanks for the question.
Certainly, all medical procedures have risks, and artery occlusion is a known
risk for filler injections. Having said that, the risk is quite rare. Most highly
experienced physicians, who specialize in facial rejuvenation, use fillers
numerous times every week, and have never experienced an artery occlusion. But
even though artery occlusion is rare, there are standard protocols for addressing
an occlusion. If you choose to have filler in your nasolabial folds, make…

Will a filler treatment on my jawline help balance my facial appearance?
Non surgical treatment of Facial Imbalance

Thanks
for the question and the photo. Unfortunately, the photo provides limited
useful information to provide a definitive answer to your question. In general,
I can certainly appreciate asymmetry in your facial structure and this is not
terribly unusual in most patients i.e. we’re all asymmetric. In order to
provide you with specifics, an experienced facial plastic surgeon would need to
perform a physical exam, which would allow evaluation of the skeletal
structure, muscular structure, as…

Are Sculptra injections safe to inject into the hip area?
Sculptra to enhance the Hip area
Sep 5, 2018
Sep 5, 2018
Thanks
for the question. I believe this would be an “off label” use of
Sculptra. However, it is likely that the product can be used safely in the hip
area. Any time you consider a medical procedure, it is important to choose a
highly trained and experienced physician. In these incidences, where use of the
product is beyond that of its FDA approval, it is paramount that you choose an
aesthetic surgeon who has used the product in this area frequently, and knows
the potential pitfalls. I hope…

Can I get Botox in my masseter muscle after wisdom teeth removal?
Botox 4 weeks after Wisdom teeth extraction
Sep 5, 2018
Sep 5, 2018
Thanks for the question.
This question is best answered by the surgeon who removed
your wisdom teeth. However, there should be no reason, at this time, why you couldn’t proceed with Botox treatments to your masseter muscle, if
everything has healed from a procedure 4 weeks ago.

Are these lumps under my upper lip normal?
lumps after lip injection
Aug 30, 2018
Aug 30, 2018
Thanks for the question and the photos. It
is not particularly unusual to have a few “lumps” at 6 days after
injection. This usually represents a temporary “posttraumatic”
response and may represent a very small collection of blood in the lip muscle. Less
commonly, a small gland (s) can become temporarily obstructed and cause a lump.
Either way, these usually resolve over the first two weeks. If the lumps
persist beyond that time, you should return to your provider and have it
corrected.

I don’t like my side profile, will fillers for my jaw and chin help address this problem? (photos
Treatment for microgenia(small chin) and ill defined jawline
Aug 30, 2018
Aug 30, 2018
Thanks for the question and the photos. I
understand why you would like to improve your side profile, in the area of your
chin and jaw line. You have a hereditary imbalance between the bony structure
of your upper and midface, and your lower face. The best, and longest lasting,
results would be to have chin augmentation with extension of the implant along the
jaw line. Sometimes an additional bit of filler can further enhance the results.
