Dr. James M. Landeen MD's Expert Contributions
  • What is a liquid face lift?

    If this is using fillers, then I can answer. An alternative to surgery is using fillers. This may be an option for surgery when the patient does not want surgery or the problem is more minimal. Using fillers is only as good as the person doing the injections. Also, the person may not be a candidate for surgery because of a medical situation. But, if the person needs surgery, injections will not meet the need. READ MORE

  • Does plastic surgery of the hands make you look younger?

    Done correctly, yes. You can remove excess skin and place fat grafts, if needed. READ MORE

  • How do you sleep after ear lobe surgery?

    Your head has to be elevated so that requires 2-3 pillows arranged comfortably. The dressing should be thick and heavy so that it protects the ears from too much pressure when you partially lay on them. Do not compromise yourself by taking sleep medications. READ MORE

  • How many laser sessions does it take to remove stretch marks?

    It depends on the extent of the marks. It can be done in one session. However, even though done in one session, it may need to be touched up in another session. Not unusual to have more than one session. READ MORE

  • Are you put to sleep for eyelid surgery?

    Not necessarily. A lot of experienced, board certified surgeons do the procedure both under general and/or local anesthesia. The decision as to anesthesia Is mutually agreed upon by both the patient and doctor. READ MORE

  • What is the fastest way to recover from eyelid surgery?

    Follow your doctor's orders. Keep your head elevated, no unnecessary activity, dressings on, and you should be OK. If there is anything unusual happening, call your doctor immediately. READ MORE

  • How do you know if a breast implant is leaking?

    If it is saline, it will go flat and be obvious. If it is gel, it may be seen on X-ray, but you may have trouble appreciating this. The implants should move in the pocket regardless if saline or gel. There could be a recognizable size difference. The radiologist can tell. READ MORE

  • How painful is knuckle surgery recovery?

    When the surgery is completed, you have to keep the hands elevated to prevent pain and swelling. Your input to this is important in keeping pain and swelling to a minimum. There is also the movement that the doctor will describe that is very important. Make sure the doctor is qualified and experienced. READ MORE

  • Can you touch your nose after a rhinoplasty?

    Yes, with some caution. Most likely you will have internal and external dressings and you should not disturb them. Your doctor will give you instructions post surgery. You do not want to disturb the dressing. After the dressings are removed, you again will be given instructions for the care. Just follow the directions. There will come a time where everything returns to normal activity. READ MORE

  • Are cheek implants a long-term option?

    Yes. If the procedure is done correctly like placement, size, etc. you will still have the normal aging of the face that may necessitate a re-do of the procedure. Also, trauma to the face such as in a car wreck may damage the procedure. READ MORE

  • Can you get fat removed from your cheeks?

    I would advise you to not do this. The facial nerve branches that move your facial muscles are very much at risk. If they are damaged, the face has a paralysis. Losing body weight will also lose weight in the face. READ MORE

  • Is facial liposuction permanent?

    It can be. However, you still have some responsibility to keep your weight stable. You can gain fat back in suctioned areas if you gain weight period. The suction in the face has to be done with care as facial nerve branches are at risk. But, if done correctly and you maintain normal weight you only have the normal aging that comes with the face and fat removal can be beneficial. READ MORE

  • What is the best age for face lift?

    There is no special age for facial surgery. This is decided by a competent, experienced plastic surgeon. It can vary by many years on patients. Then, you have the health of the patient. Is this patient healthy enough for a several hour surgery?? It usually can be a consideration in the 60's. However, it can be years later for others. READ MORE

  • Can under eye bags be removed?

    Yes. Go, only to an experienced plastic surgeon or an eye physician who does the procedure. And it is an out patient procedure. It can be done under a local anesthetic or general anesthesia. READ MORE

  • Can a nose job improve breathing?

    Yes, but depending on the experience and expertise of the operator it might not happen. It is common to try to surgically improve the looks as well as the breathing. But not every surgeon has the experience to do both things in one operation. Carefully choose your surgeon. Ask the hard questions in your interview. READ MORE

  • Do nose jobs hurt for weeks?

    Not necessarily. If the procedure is done correctly, by a board certified physician whose speciality is doing nasal surgery it is more likely much less. You have to follow the post operative orders. There may be packing and a plaster cast. Removal of the packing gives relief. This may be in two to three days. READ MORE

  • How do you get rid of stretch marks?

    You most likely will never get rid of them completely. Improvement can be achieved from topical applications and/or surgery. Surgery may improve the looks, but also will create a scar. READ MORE

  • How long does eyelid plastic surgery last?

    It can be years. However, patients can circumvent this by habits such as sleep, eating, hygiene that can shorten the period. Listen to your doctor's post-operative orders. Also, make sure the doctor is board certified either in ophthalmology or plastic surgery. READ MORE

  • Do stretch marks go away on your hands?

    This is an unusual place to be complaining of stretch marks. Are you sure? If so, the usual therapies of topical applications and possible surgical improvement. If these are stretch marks, you will always have some evidence of this, like forever. READ MORE

  • Do creams really help stretch marks?

    You need to see an experienced doctor concerning your problem because topical creams/lotions can help. But it has to be the right ones. This may be a trial of a cream that does not help and needs to be changed. The doctor will recognize this and make a change. READ MORE
