Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
1day PO Chemical Peel-Is this a burn or hyperpigmentation? What to do to get my skin back to norma
Glycol Peel AHA Peels
May 22, 2018
It would be too early for hyper pigmentation. Melanin would not be produced this fast. Vaniply or Aquaphor are the best for your skin at this time. No aloe vera or other homeopathic topical are recommended. Dr. Spera
Does fat transfer to the face cause a lifting effect as much as cheek implants do?
Cheek Augmentation Malar Implants Fat Transfer Cheeks
May 22, 2018
Thank you for the excellent question. Fat is an alternative but it is quite a bit of volume and some, all or very little of the grafted/transferred fat may survive. Silicone cheek implants are an excellent choice to permanently augment the cheek area. They are placed thru 2 small incisions in the mouth under local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia. They come in many different shapes and sizes.
Dr. Spera
What is PermaLip Lip Augmentation?
Lip Implant PermaLip Lip Augmentation
May 22, 2018
Provided you are a candidate the PermaLip implant is an excellent option. There are 3 diameters 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm. Placement is very straightforward and can be done with local anesthesia. We have treated many patients with PermaLip and they have been very pleased. Dr. Spera
I have uneven lips and would like to make them even. Would Permalip be a good option?
Lip Implant Fillers Juvederm lip augmentation
May 22, 2018
The asymmetry of the lip will carry over if an implant is used since this is for volume only. Fillers are the best option to correct any asymmetry. Dr. Spera
If a patient has a documented case of lipodystrophy, might you be willing to perform fat grating o
Cheek Implants Malar Implants Implantech Fat Transfer Fat Grafting
Apr 30, 2018
Thank you for your question. The outcomes for fat transfer/grafting can be very variable especially for larger amounts. I would recommend a more permanent solution to restoring or increasing volume in you cheek area. Cheek/malar implants prove to be a wonderful treatment option for the situation that you are describing. There is very little downtime and recovery is typically 5-7 days. The look and feel are incredibly natural. Best, Dr. Spera
Interested in Permalip. Is it necessary to remove lip filler first?
Permalip SurgiSil Silicone Lip Implant Lip Augmentation
Apr 30, 2018
Thank you for the excellent question. The Implant comes in 3 different lenghths ( 55,60,65 mm) and 3 different diameters (3,4,5 mm). The selection of the correct size is based on an experienced surgeon carefully evaluating the patient and of course the patients desire in terms of volume increase. The previous fillers do not have to be dissolved before permanent lip implant placement. Best, Dr. Spera
Can I do a 30% Glycolic acid peel between microneedling sessions?
Glycol Peel Micro-needling Stages
Apr 30, 2018
I like sequential staging of minimally invasive therapy. I would say that a light glycol peel would be ok 2 weeks after micro-needling. This is entirely dependent on your skins response and healing after treatments.
