Dr. James M. Landeen MD's Expert Contributions
  • Can I get fat injected into my legs?

    Yes, most likely, but this is unusual. You must have the fat to inject, and the legs are not the usual place. To really answer this question, I would need to see pictures. READ MORE

  • Does fat grow back after liposuction?

    Fat accumulates secondary to calorie ingestion. If you have liposuction with good results and continue to ingest way to much food (calories), you can gain this back. If you are careful with the calories after a liposuction procedure, you will be okay. The results can be permanent. READ MORE

  • Breast augmentation infection?

    The more I look at these pictures, I would consider changing doctors. Does not look right. READ MORE

  • Will I have visible scars after wrist surgery?

    It depends on the surgery and the surgeon. Almost all wrist surgery is open, and that means incisions that leave scars. The quality of the scar is the surgeons responsibility and yours. You should have instructions for post care. Follow them. READ MORE

  • Does liposuction have side effects?

    It can depending on who is doing it. Go to an experienced doctor with good results, and you minimize your chances of having a poor result. Every surgical procedure has the potential for poor results. READ MORE

  • Is it better to lose weight before liposuction?

    If you can lose enough weight, then there would be no need for the liposuction. Liposuction is a good procedure properly done. However, if you have a lot of weight to lose, you may need some skin tightening after the procedure. If there is a large amount of weight loss over several areas, the procedure may be in two or more sessions. READ MORE

  • How long does it take to recover from a lower face lift?

    You have to be relatively quiet as not to cause a problem with swelling (bleeding). This means the head is elevated, chin extended, and activities minimal. The sutures will be out in 5-7 days. This position in bed will be for 2-4 weeks. Physical activity is minimal until cleared. This is huge in determining the outcome. Whatever you do, follow the directions. READ MORE

  • How long after a facelift will I look normal?

    If you take the proper care, have no complications, it should be about 10-14 days. Sutures will be removed, you are up and about, and activity is starting to be relatively normal. There will be minor changes, but they are not so obvious. READ MORE

  • How do you massage your face after a facelift?

    I do not know what you are asking. But the face should not have any massage for at least 2-3 weeks after a lift. You do not want to cause bleeding. You should keep the head elevated, quiet, and allow the healing to occur naturally. READ MORE

  • Does plastic surgery change your face?

    I am going to write a book to you. The idea of facial surgery is to improve it. The changes are improvements. Make sure you are with an experienced surgeon. READ MORE

  • How long after a facelift can I go out in public?

    You have to be healed with sutures out. But, your activity is limited for another two weeks to make sure you do not cause bleeding with excessive activity. This a BIG DEAL! Do the right things after surgery. After the healing is complete, you can resume activity. BE SMART!! When the healing has time to recover, your activities are not limited. READ MORE

  • Medical breasts reduction?

    This situation is one that I do not have experience with. However, under the circumstances, I would do a breast reduction now, and if there should be the circumstance that the growth continues, simply do it again. Three years, under these circumstances, is a long time. There is no guarantee that growth would continue if the reduction is done now. READ MORE

  • Can you get a rhinoplasty twice?

    Yes. However, you must choose your surgeon carefully. This is different and you want the surgeon to have experience in this situation. Ask the intended directly surgeon directly about his experience and if he is comfortable in this situation. READ MORE

  • What shape of nose is most attractive?

    This is not a simple answer, BECAUSE — there are differences in race, color, etc. What is beautiful for one race is not for others. It has to fit your face. There are hair, eyes, mouths that go into the equation of determining what FITS. You need to seek out the services of a doctor that specializes in this with experience. READ MORE

  • How much time do I need off work for a rhinoplasty?

    At least a week to ten days. This also depends on the work you return to. It has to be the relatively quiet and easy. If it strenuous, consider two weeks. You do not want to have blood pressure elevations that can cause bleeding or swelling that can interfere with the result. You do not want to do anything thing that can interfere with the result, otherwise, why are you having the operation? READ MORE

  • Does rhinoplasty change your face?

    Yes. It should be regarded as positive, but if the results are poor, the change made is negative. Make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you have the surgery. READ MORE

  • How long does pain from rhinoplasty last?

    This can vary as to the experience of the operator and how well the postoperative course goes. The main thing is that you go to an experienced surgeon. You must follow the postoperative orders, especially keeping the head elevated and avoiding exercise. There most likely will be packing, and when this is removed, it is considerably more comfortable. READ MORE

  • How much can they remove with liposuction?

    Basically, it as much to achieve the goal. Now, not everyone presents healthy enough to pursue this. So, it may require more than one procedure. The attending doctor should have the experience to decide this. READ MORE

  • How painful is liposuction recovery?

    The procedure is usually outpatient, meaning you go home after recovery. It can also vary as to how many areas are being auctioned. Basically, it is accepted if the results please the patient. Also, the areas are injected before they are suctioned. This means you have some comfort before this wears off. Overall, it is accepted very well. READ MORE

  • What are the side effects of liposuction?

    The side effects of liposuction are loss of sensation In the area that has been suctioned, irregularities in the skin that may have some improvement with time, and sometimes permanent changes in skin irregularities. Most, if not all can be prevented by going to an experienced plastic surgeon. Ask to see pictures, and ask about his/her experience. READ MORE
