Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Could Cryolipolysis achieve the same results as traditional liposuction?
Multiple Cryolipolysis Treatments
Aug 13, 2017
Your logic is sound, multiple treatments would lead to better results. There is however the concept of “the law diminishing returns”. Some fat cells are more resistant to the cold and they will survive within the limits of standard protocols and so at some point you would potentially maximize the results. To affect those resistant cells you would need to lower the temperature or prolong the freezing times which would then result in unwanted damage to the skin.
Droopy eye, blurred vision, and eye twitching after Botox. Will this eventually resolve or do I need
Botox Relief
Aug 13, 2017
Sorry to hear about your experience. One thing that we like, and hate, about Botox is that the affect always goes away. In this case of unwanted affects like yours, rest assured, these unwanted affects will resolve (but so will the wanted affects). Sometimes we try an eye drop called “Lopidine”, which may give temporary relief from the eye symptoms. You will want to talk to your doctor to see if that is an option for you.
Decided to go with the coolsculpting for chin area, but…
CoolSculpting Chin
Mar 1, 2017
I think your 2 consults described the range of possibilities and unfortunately we don’t know how your body is going respond exactly. A conservative approach would be to start with the one. Wait and see the results. If your chin looks great, you are done. If you see a “shelf”, you confirmed that the CoolSculpting is very affective and then add the 2 additional cycles to treat the transition zones on either side of the applicator. The aggressive approach is…
How much fat will laser lipo remove and how many sessions would I need to get rid of my stomach fat?
How Many Many Laser Liposcution Sessions?
Feb 19, 2017
You are an excellent candidate for Laser Liposuction. One of the advantages of liposuction vs. non-invasive treatments, like CoolSculpting and Sculpture, is that it should only take 1 treatment to achieve your goals. Liposuction can get all the fat out. The laser increases the skin tightening. You are also correct, that the best results are seen in people who are exercising and taking care of themselves. Good Luck
Did I get a botched lip job?
Post Juvederm Lips Recovery
Feb 14, 2017
After lip injections, it is normal to expect lumpiness and swelling. Juvederm is like a water magnet and as the product lubricates the lumpiness resolves, but this can take 2-3 weeks. The swelling can also take 2-3 weeks to lessen. Finally bruising is common. Bottom line, you are just starting the recover process. Give things 2-3 weeks before coming to any conclusions. P.S. I don’t recommend massaging any lumpiness unless the lump is visible after 3 days…
CoolScultping: Is there a risk of getting a blood clot?
Clotting Disorders and CoolSculpting
Feb 12, 2017
There are no studies, to my knowledge, that specifically looks at this question. Immobility for long periods of time is and additional risk factor for clotting. Examples are long car rides, plan trips, surgery. The 35 minute CoolSculpting procedure is shorter than the average movie and most physicians would not recommend against this. If you are doing a 90min CoolMax, there may be reason to pause and consider other options. If you are being treated with long term…
Is it a waste of money if i were to do coolsculpting after ultherapy?
CoolSculpting After Ultherapy
Feb 7, 2017
CoolSculpting and Ultherapy are complementary procedures. CoolSculpting is best at reducing the fat under the skin and Ultherapy is best at tightening the skin. The best results will come from tight skin over a reduced fat pad. What varies from person to person is, the relative importance of each issue (loose skin/extra fat) to their neck. Your provider should help you decide if one or both treatments will be necessary to get the results you want to achieve.
Different pain level in different areas treated with Coolsculpting
Variations in pain.
Feb 6, 2017
Though most people tolerated CoolSculpting very well, there can be some discomfort and there can be a lot of variability when it comes to that response. Pain can vary between areas treated, between patients and even between sessions. Fortunately, the saying, “No pain, no gain”, does not apply here. Effectiveness is related to temperature and time on tissue, and both of these are closely monitored and controlled by computer in the device, so your treatment should…
Do most people need one or two Sculpsure treatments?
How Many SculpSure Treatments?
Jan 26, 2017
We know that each treatment will reduce the volume of fat ~20%. So, more treatments will get better results. Most people will get 2 rounds of SculpSure in each area treated. The luck ones can get away with one, other may need 3. This is dependent mostly on your goals and how much fat has to be removed.
After coolsculpting, does skin on older people (I’m 72 years old) tighten up or does it hang.
Skin Tightening after CoolSculpting
Dec 20, 2016
CoolSculpting is not a skin tightener, it is a fat remover. That being said the skin has some ability to retract. We see this after pregnancy, liposuction and injuries. This tightening is modest and variable between people. If your goal is to look good in clothes than simple fat removal, CoolSculpting, will be enough. If looking good in a 2 piece bathing suit is the goal then adding a laser to improved the skin or a tummy tuck would be needed. Good Luck!
4 days after lip injection s- how to tell the difference between swollen or overfilled lips?
Swelling in Lips after Filler
Dec 20, 2016
Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure is to wait. It will take another 1-2 weeks before you can come to any conclusions. I schedule my follow ups at 2 weeks for that very reason. When I treat my staff’s lips I go through the same anxiety has I have to look at their swollen lips every day until we “round the corner” and the swelling retreats. Stay the course and know it can be dissolved as a last resort. Good Luck.
If the cool sculpting applicators were not applied evenly to my inner thighs will I get uneven result
Coolsculpting applicator postioning.
Dec 9, 2016
There is no way to know the out come for 12-16weeks when the treatment when full results are obtain. There is natural asymmetry that may have created the need for asymmetrical placement. Additionally, there is a degree of variability that is acceptable in the placements of the applicators that will lead to nice results. I would let it run its coarse and then evaluate. A good provider will want to do that with you then discuss options if some “tweeking” is…
SculpSure after Lipo and fat transfer to breast. Is it safe?
SculpSure for the Arms
Nov 27, 2016
Your previous liposuction and fat transfer should not be affected by the SculpSure to the arms. This is a very reasonable goal for SculpSure. You will need to do a consultation however to make sure that this is the right treatment for your arms.
28 yr old athletic nurse. Yet I can’t lose the belly fat & love handles. Am I a candidate for cool li
Your an Great Candiate for Coolsculpting or Laser Lipo!
Nov 27, 2016
All of our body shaping modalities get their best results in fit healthy people who are already in their weight range (BMI between 20 and 25). Of course, you will need an actual consultation to confirm but you look like an excellent candidate for both procedures. Both procedures can safely remove fat and tighten the skin. CoolSculpting being non-invasive has an excellent safety profile and no down time. The laser lipo has a couple of days of downtime and exercise…
Can coolsculpting help me?
CoolSculpting After Lipo
Nov 21, 2016
It is always frustrating when we don’t get the results we want after a procedure. CoolSculpting is an option to finish of those area where a little fat remains. You may want to wait another 3-4 months as there may still be some remodeling and healing going on in the treatment area.
