Facelift Recovery

Facelift Recovery
May 29, 2019

Typically, we advise our patients to take about 2 weeks or 14 days off from work and social activities. At that two week mark, their incisions will still be slightly pink and there may still be some swelling. We recommend that they use mineral based concealer, style their hair differently, and use scarves or loose fitting turtle necks to help camouflage their lower face and neck area.

How Long Does a Facelift Last?

How Long a Facelift Lasts and Factors Determining Longevity
May 29, 2019

We tell our patients a facelift lasts about 8-10 years. What happens in 8-10 years? Everything doesn’t fall, but because of the natural aging process, skin loosens and wrinkles develop. A few factors that will help determine how long a facelift will last include: a healthy diet, consistent sunscreen use, avoiding nicotine, staying within 5-10 pounds of your ideal body weight, and maintaining your results with high quality skin care products and treatments. Many of o...

43 yrs old. Too young for facelift?

Facelift or Minilift
Mar 7, 2019

Though most patients undergoing a facelift are in their 50’s to 60’s, if at the age of 43 you have jowls, extra neck skin and neck fullness simply because of your natural anatomy then a facelift or minilift can be very effective. In other words, it depends on the person’s anatomy, genetics and lifestyle history (sun exposure etc.) that may have contributed. In fact, younger patients with jowls, neck fullness but good skin elasticity will heal better from a facelift or minilift becau...

Can a short scar facelift be used to remedy sagging along jaw line and nasolabial area 2 years aft

Deep Plane Technique
Mar 7, 2019

It is a little early for jowls to recur only 2 years after a lift. If the sagging is because of excess fat, the fat can be carefully removed during a short scar face lift. In addition, the jowls can be lifted more effectively, if they were not initially, through a deep plane technique.

Are there any benefits to post-facelift swelling? Should I just make peace with it and let it run

Benefits of Post Facelift Swelling
Apr 27, 2018

The “benefit” of post facelift swelling is that the skin looks very smooth. Unfortunately, once ALL of the swelling subsides, typically after several months, some of the wrinkles return, though not to the same severity as before surgery. Other than that, there is no other benefit. You can’t make swelling go away more quickly aside from keeping your head elevated above the level of your heart when you sleep. It will recede on its own, naturally.

8 years post rhinoplasty. Polly beak soft tissue, can the swelling/soft tissue be reduced with ste

Post Surgery Polly Beak Concerns
Apr 27, 2018

A polly beak deformity is either the result of not enough cartilage removal during the original surgery, drooping of the tip from its original position after surgery or the development of excessive scar tissue under the skin just above the tip. Steroid injections help reduce scar tissue but typically only work during the first year after surgery. Unfortunately if your surgery was 8 years ago, you will likely need to see a surgeon for a possible revision if you are unhappy with the fullness...

Recommendation for Rhinoplasty surgeon in Boston area?

Choosing a surgeon
Apr 27, 2018

This is a great question. When deciding which surgeon to see for a rhinoplasty consultation, we recommend looking for a surgeon who performs many of these procedures on a regular basis. It is also important to look at the before and after gallery on their website to make sure that there are many examples of the procedure you are looking to have done.

When we ask our patients why they chose to have their procedure performed at our office, they say the following:

Rhinoplasty Recovery

Recovery and Downtime from Rhinoplasty
Aug 7, 2017

The recovery time for a rhinoplasty is about 7-10 days. During this first week, patients are usually home, resting with their head elevated (either in a recliner or propped up with pillows). After a week, the cast and sutures are removed, and most patients are presentable in public after 8-10 days. Patients should be careful not to lift heavy objects or engage in any strenuous activities for a few weeks. Patients may have swelling...

Rhinoplasty Swelling

Swelling after Rhinoplasty
Aug 7, 2017

Most of the swelling after a rhinoplasty resolves within 10 to 14 days after surgery. With rhinoplasty procedures, some small amount of swelling may persist over the nasal tip in particular, for up to 9 to 12 months after the procedure. This can all be addressed during the first year after surgery, which is why it is so important for patients to return to their surgeon for the follow up visits.

Fraxel Repair vs Dermabrasion to complement Neck Lift?

Fraxel repair
Feb 1, 2010

I commonly perform Fraxel repair treatments with minilifts, Necklifts and the two combined. Dermabrasion is largely out of favor these days. Fraxel repair will improve mouth lines but will not completely eliminate them, particularly the deeper ones.
It also has a lower incidence of complications than dermabrasion or fully ablative CO2 Laser resurfacing. It is also a painless recovery.
The benefits of fraxel repair persist for at least a year, certainly well after the swelling resolved, as...

Eyelid surgery to correct protruding lacrimal gland?

Eyelid surgery for protruding lacrimal gland very straightforward
Dec 11, 2009

I would say that a ptotic lacrimal gland is not that common and is not a typical feature that is corrected in upper blepharoplasty. When it is present, however, it is not difficult for the surgeon to tuck the gland under the boney rim of the eye socket while doing an upper blepharoplasty. Facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons and oculoplastic surgeons can all perform this procedure.
Good luck,
Dr. Ahn

Realistic expectation on Rhinoplasty for patients with thick skin?

Rhinoplasty on thick nose skin
Nov 24, 2009

It's hard to tell if your skin is thick except by examining it and feeling the thickness. If your skin is thick, then a reduction rhinoplasty where cartilage is removed to refine the nose may not work because the skin will not redrape as well. For thicker skinned people, you need augment the nose and bridge to make it appear more narrow and refined. This is counterintuitive but is the only technique that works with thick skinned noses.
Good luck!

Does Fraxel Laser work on tummy and stretch marks?

Fraxel restore will help
Nov 23, 2009

Having performed over 1,000 Fraxel restore treatments, many of which included treating stretch marks, acne scars, burns scars and other skin problems in need of collagen remodeling, I can attest that a series (at least 5) of Fraxel restore treatments will improve but nor cure stretch marks in the majority of people.
As a rule of thumb I tell patients that they can expect a 50-75% imrpovement in stretch marks after completing a series, with the understanding that there is no guarantee....

Combine or separate MACS facelift and Fraxel repair procedures?

MACS Facelift and Fraxel Repair complement each other
Nov 17, 2009

In approximately 25% of my MACS lift patients, I perform a concomitant Fraxel repair treatment. The two procedures complement each other as the MACS lift changes facial volume and shape but does nothing to improve inherent skin quality, while the repair only improves skin and does little to lift or truly tighten. The surgeon's experience is paramount, though, as the repair laser settings need to be changed over the lifted skin flap to ensure proper healing postoperatively. When done...
