Treatment options for deep acne scars on chest?
Chest Acne scarring
Mar 31, 2022
Combination therapy would probably be best. You have active acne which should be treated. It is unclear if you have ever used Accutane, but that would be something to consider. Regarding the past scarring, a fractionated destructive CO2 laser approach would be applicable as well as radiofrequency needling. Your board certified dermatologist should have some insight into your specific needs. Good luck.
I recently got 10 stitches on my chin. After removing them, I can not fully smile. Will this be perman
Lip asymmetry
Mar 30, 2022
The first photo demonstrates the movement issue that you are describing, but the other two photographs are not clear as to where the surgery was performed. To answer your question about permanence of this issue, I would suggest that you approach the surgeon who performed the surgery and who had placed the sutures. They can properly evaluate any deficit that you may have and provide insight into your question.
Is there any way to get Chin Fillers without making your chin pointy?
Avoiding the 'pointy' chin
Mar 21, 2022
Depending on the filler product utilized, with time, the impact of your prior procedures should become reduced as the product depletes. Simply waiting out the final result may be the most appropriate direction for you as you noted you underwent three separate procedures in a short period of time. The 'pointy' chin can result when placing a focused deposit of filler as opposed to using a bit more product and feathering it along the jawline to widen the frontal appearance. Also the placement...
Will I have asymmetry after MOHS?
Asymmetry after Mohs?
Mar 16, 2022
Mohs surgery which is an excisional process will result in the creation of a surgical defect. Since many reconstructive repairs are based on the movement of local and adjacent tissue, (which doesn't create new tissue) there will be tensions placed on some of the local tissue. In some cases this can result in the movement of local structures that define one's appearance, e.g. such as the position of eyebrows. As reconstructive surgeons, we are aware of these impacts and will base our...
How to manage the scar on back after cyst removal?
Scar Improvement
Mar 16, 2022
The site of your excision is a challenging one as it experiences a great deal of movement and pull. Scars can often widen and/or thicken when on this section of the back. Time tends to improve the overall appearance of most scars, and it was unclear on how recent you underwent the surgery. When the scar has had time to mature, one can consider a number of approaches to improve the appearance including pulse dye laser, or radiofrequency microneedling. In the meantime, if you or some one else...
I have very large earlobes. What can be done to make them smaller?
Making Larger Earlobes Smaller
Mar 14, 2022
Having large earlobes, or lobules, is not an uncommon complaint. Fortunately, a corrective surgery can be performed that can shorten and reshape the earlobe. This can be performed as an outpatient office based procedure. Depending on a few factors that can be evaluated with an in office consultation, the procedure will remove a portion of the lobule, placing the scar either on the lobule itself or in the crease where the lobule attaches to the cheek. This procedure can be done by a number of...
Kenalog 10 Injection Atrophy on Chin
Atrophic sites following Intralesional Kenalog
Mar 14, 2022
I understand your concern. A known risk of intralesional injection of steroids is fat atrophy and the development of depressions in the skin. There is no specific optimal concentration for intralesional kenalog for facial cysts and scars, and the depressions you experienced could occur with any concentration of steroid used. They also can be related to any manipulation of the skin that may have happened, particularly if you had made any attempts to squeeze the pimples. Fortunately, even...
