Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How to get rid of wrinkles on cheeks and around eyes?
Answer to patient question: How to get rid of wrinkles around eyes & cheeks
Mar 2, 2015
Depending on your facial
structure, age, and sun damage, these wrinkles can be a challenging
problem. Recall that normal aging
involves all the layers of your face: the skin loses elasticity, collagen,
color uniformity, and firmness, the fat pads underneath descend (and sometimes
diminish) and aren’t there for support, muscle thickness and tone diminish, the
tendons and supportive connective tissue weaken, and the bone structure also
changes, again reducing support. This
sounds scary...
How do I treat Platysmal Bands when I'm too young for a neck lift and don't want to keep shel
Answer to patient question: How to treat platysma bands at young age
Mar 2, 2015
Unfortunately, Botox is
still one of your best options. Platysma
muscle surgery would provide much longer lasting improvement but you’re right
that you are young for this and your neck skin is not particularly lax. Other additive non-invasive alternatives such
as peels or radiofrequency or ultrasound tightening might improve the overall
appearance of your neck but would not eliminate the bands themselves, which
have probably started earlier in life than usual as a consequence of...
What about the skin in people older than forty and want the Cool Sculpt. If he fat goes away,
Answer to patient question: What about the skin in people older than forty and want CoolSculpting?
Mar 2, 2015
Great question. CoolSculpting targets the fat under the skin
for elimination and doesn’t change the anatomy or function of the other tissues
in the neighborhood, including skin, muscle, nerves, and blood vessels. As a consequence, once the fat layer is
reduced, it is possible that the skin may sag slightly. For most people, this still looks better than
they did before.
Want another child in the future but want to have a great body until then. 5'3 182lbs. Is coo
Answer to patient question: Is CoolSculpting for me?
Mar 2, 2015
As you’ve learned from
your consult, CoolSculpting is a great non-invasive way to reduce the fat layer
under your skin. A percentage of the
treated fat cells die and cannot come back – but if you gain weight, the new
fat will indeed “go elsewhere” since the fat cells elsewhere will be ready to
accept it. CoolSculpting has been
consistently shown in multiple scientific studies to work, and it should work
on you too. That said, by itself it may
not get you far enough to reach your...
How long of a massage is needed after CoolSculpting?
Answer to patient question: How long of a massage is needed after CoolSculpting?
Mar 2, 2015
The good news for you is
that 2 minutes may have been enough.
Although we don’t really know the ideal amount of post-treatment
massage, the only published medical journal article that looked scientifically
at the question used 2 minutes of massage.
(Boey GE, Wasilenchuk JL. Lasers in Surgery and Medicine 2014.) Among
their 10 patients, they massaged one side for 2 minutes and didn’t massage the
other side at all. The massaged side had
44% better reduction in fat 4 months later, as...
What are the best things to relieve swelling after facelift? I'm a puffed up ball.
To answer patient question: What are the best things to relieve swelling after facelift? I'm a puffed up ball.
Feb 23, 2015
It is always a good idea to closely follow your surgeon’s directions,
and I’ll probably repeat what he or she has told you. Ice packs or cold compresses are helpful for
the first 36 hours (while you’re awake: twenty minutes on, forty minutes off),
and then alternating warm and cold compresses are recommended four times a
day. If you can, sleep with your head
elevated on some extra pillows or a wedge, or in a reclining chair. Avoid strenuous exercise, avoid high salt
foods, and give...
Eyelid surgery recovery time - how long until you recommend going back to work
To answer patient question: Eyelid surgery recovery time - how long until you recommend going back to work
Feb 23, 2015
For most people who are otherwise healthy and not on blood thinners, the
swelling and bruising are mostly improved by 5-7 days and gone by two weeks.
During this time, most people also report minimal pain and no significant
problems with their vision, so that they could return to work as soon as a few
days after surgery if their job doesn’t involve interaction with the public. Sutures are usually removed at about 7 days.
For people in sales or other jobs with public exposure, they may...
Eyelid Surgery aftercare - What tips or supplies do you recommend to your patients to get them thro
To answer patient question: Eyelid Surgery aftercare - tips for recovery
Feb 23, 2015
In addition to the medications prescribed by your surgeon, you may want
to pick up non-preserved artificial tear drops, nighttime eye gel or ointment,
vitamin E capsules, small snack size Ziploc bags, and frozen peas or corn. The frozen vegetables can be put into several
of the Ziploc bags and used in the first 36 hours as ice packs to reduce
swelling. Unlike ice, they don’t drip
and can be easily re-frozen and rotated.
Many people experience a temporary issue with dryness of the eyes...
Can I have coolsculpting done on my arms 2 yrs postbrachioplasty?
To answer patient question: Can I have coolsculpting done on my arms 2 yrs postbrachioplasty?
Feb 23, 2015
Yes, CoolSculpting can be performed on your arms after
brachioplasty. Successful results have
been achieved for patients (and reported in the peer-reviewed medical
literature) but treatment in that location is currently considered “off-label”
by the FDA.
What happens to the "frozen" fat after Cool Sculpting?
To answer patient question: What happens to the "frozen" fat after Cool Sculpting?
Feb 23, 2015
Numerous studies on both humans and animals have demonstrated that the
frozen fat cells die and are then processed by specialized white blood cells
and eventually eliminated from the body by the liver. Neither liver damage nor elevated cholesterol
or triglyceride levels have been reported for patients who have had CoolSculpting.Your experience has evidently been difficult, scary, and
disappointing. I’m sorry for your
trouble. Fortunately it is not typical
and of course, I don’t have...
Does cool sculpting tighten loose skin and fat pockets ?
Patient Question: Does coolsculpting tighten loose skin and fat pockets?
Feb 23, 2015
CoolSculpting is an FDA approved technology that noninvasively causes a
reduction in the thickness of the fat layer anywhere that the machine is
applied. It doesn’t exactly ‘tighten’
fat pockets, but instead it causes selective death and removal of fat cells
that makes those pockets smaller.
Multiple studies published in the peer-reviewed medical literature have
confirmed this effect, and of course, over a million people have enjoyed the
changes in their body shape using...
