Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What reasons would fat be added just to the upper face? Can this still look natural?
Fat Transfer To The Face
Nov 13, 2023
Dear mumay1,It can absolutely look natural! Fat grafting to the face is one of my favorite procedures for natural revolumization. I’ve been performing this in my practice for over 20 years. After weight loss, or aging, skin appears loose and saggy due to volume loss in the area. Strategically adding fat back into the upper face will help lift the skin and reduce the “gaunt” appearance which happens after significant weight loss or aging. Additionally, revolumizing the upper face decre...
Petit & workout a lot - is there a non invasive way to tighten skin around neck?
Neck & Submental Area
Nov 13, 2023
Dear monyecee50,Thank you for providing photos. If you felt that liposuction made this area worse, it is possible that what you are dealing with is skin laxity, not so much “neck fat.”
If you wanted to go the surgical route, you can always consult with a plastic surgeon. If you wanted a less invasive option, there are many treatments that we can offer to help tighten that skin and also reduce any fat that may be in the area.
If there is fat and loose skin, this is hard to tell without see...
Could consuming alcohol within 24 hours of lip injections dissolve filler & not achieve full results
Alcohol & Injectables
Nov 13, 2023
Dear amelia123456789, Drinking alcohol will not dissolve your lip filler or effect the final fullness of your lips. The reason we instruct patients not to drink before and after injectable appointments is to decrease the risk for bruising and swelling. However, regardless of how well you follow pre- and post-injection instructions, there is always a chance that you will still bruise, especially in an area as vascular as the lips. I recommend to all my patients to schedule their injectable...
How soon after chin liposuction can i get Facetite?
Chin Lipo & Facetite
Nov 3, 2023
Dear Julisol13,
It depends if you are looking to get FaceTite in the same area as the liposuction or if you are getting it in a different area. If it is in a different area, you should be able to get it within 2-3 weeks, once the majority of swelling has subsided. However, if you are looking to treat the same area with the 2 modalities, you would like need to wait about 6 months or so until you have fully healed and can see the final results of the liposuction. I will mention that there are...
If I have Botox resistance will I still see results from dermal filler?
Neurotoxins & Resistance
Nov 2, 2023
Dear Little.Mermaid.Xo,What you’re describing sounds like you’ve built up resistance to Botox. This is not uncommon, particularly with patients who’ve been using the product for many years. It’s not that your body is rejecting it, your tolerance is causing you to need more to get the same effect. Keep in mind that as we age, we tend to need more to get the same results we would get 5 or 10 years ago. I recommend trying a different brand like Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify. We offer all of thes...
Can FaceTite improve the appearance of a fat deposit on my chin and neck laxity or should I consider
A Combo of Treatments
Nov 1, 2023
Dear r0a1agMert264i,Thank you for providing photos. The best thing for the submental area would be a treatment that provides both fat reduction and skin tightening. For you, I would recommend NeckTite combined with Morpheus8 and MyEllevate. This is a treatment combination that I do at my practice often so patients can tackle multiple concerns with one recovery. Typically, patients get much more improvement with minimally invasive treatments than a non-invasive treatment like Coolsculpting....
Help! Entire lower face has changed shape (wide/sagging jawline), what can I do?
Threads, Filler, & More
Nov 1, 2023
Dear Peaceful574854, This is a very common complaint from patients as it is the natural way the face ages. There are other treatment options that you can try before going to the extremes of a neck lift which has significant risks and downtime. Cheek filler is great for revolumizing the upper face. As we age, volume is lost and the skin begins to sag. If you did not notice any improvement it may be that you just need a bit more, or it needed to be placed differently. For you, filler in the...
Can Facetite touch what a facelift can't?
M8 or Potenza
Oct 30, 2023
Dear Fabulous808315,Thank you for providing photos. FaceTite and Morpheus 8 are both great treatment options for addressing laxity. In my practice I often combine the two to give patients the best possible outcome.
If you’re planning to lose weight, I recommend waiting until you’ve reached your goal weight before getting any procedures done. Gaining or losing more than 10 pounds will effect your results and will make it more challenging for your provider to give you what you want.

Am I a candidate for Ellacor or Facetite?
Facetite & Ellacor
Oct 11, 2023
Dear Moba81923, Based on the It is hard to tell if someone is a candidate without a physical examination. However, I can tell you that Ellacor is one of the only minimally invasive modalities for skin tightening that is safe on all skin types and for patients with melasma because it does not use heat. Most technologies for tightening the skin are energy based and use radiofrequency heat. This unfortunately is a contraindication for darker skin tones because of the risk of hyperpigmentation....
Can I get Ellacor if I once had shingles (herpes zoster)?
A History Of Shingles & Ellacor
Oct 11, 2023
Dear RealSelf Admin,Yes, it is completely safe to have Ellacor if you have a history of herpes simplex or herpes zoster (shingles). If you have an active outbreak in the treatment area, you would likely be advised to wait until it has passed. What you’re reading about is due to Ellacor, like all cosmetic treatments (even injectables), having the potential to aggravate the herpes simplex virus and cause an outbreak. At my practice, we preventatively prescribe Valtrex for our patients who h...
Is Ellacor like Plasma Pen? Will it lead me to have scabs on my face for a week?
Ellacor Is Not Similar to Plasma Pen
Oct 11, 2023
Dear Caring1876,
The mechanism in which the plasma pen works in comparison to Ellacor is completely different. Ellacor using micro-coring technology which basically extracts small columns on your skin, as your skin heals, there is a tightening effect. Every person responds differently to treatments and it is impossible to predict exactly how someone will heal from a treatment. It is very unlikely that you will not have scabs similar to those from the plasma pen. However, there will be tiny...
Fine lines and crepiness under eye area. Which treatment is most effective?
Undereye Rejuvenation
Aug 31, 2023
Dear HappyDaneSana,Thank you for providing a photo. There are quite a few procedures that you could try to help tighten the skin and improve the overall texture under your eyes. Which procedure is best depends on your lifestyle and the amount of downtime you are up for. The non-surgical treatment which would provide the greatest improvement would be a CO2 laser. However, this fully ablative laser does come with some downtime (7-10 days) and does tend to give your skin a pink hue for anywhere...
Age 18, how to get rid of dark nasolabial fold?
Nasolabial Folds
Aug 30, 2023
Dear Xeuniex,Thank you for providing a photo. Firstly I would like to commend you, it sounds like you’re doing all the right things in terms of skincare. Based on the photo you provided, it does seem that you have nasolabial folds, something everyone has when they smile or make certain expressions. These folds can be more prominent in some people due to genetics, age, and/or sleeping on your side. You certainly do not need to do anything; however, if you’re bothered by the appearance, the...
When can I get Thermage after a peel?
All Depends!
Aug 21, 2023
Timing for Thermage following appeal is somewhat dependent upon the type of peel you had done. As a general rule, I would wait until all of the peeling and redness is gone and add two weeks on top of that.
How safe is it to combine Daxxify with other injectables?
Combining for better results!
Aug 9, 2023
Combining Daxxify, with other injectables, such as a Juvaderm and other fillers can lead to better results! Combining neuromodulators and fillers, often helps to lead to better results. Neuromodulators help to prevent muscle contraction and fillers volumize. Combining both of them will lead to a more natural and complete rejuvenation.
