Jawlilne lift in my mind is the augmentationo of the angle of the mandible with any type of filler material, ie. FAT or HAs. Yes it does work if it is done correctly. Besides the fact that some people have genetically small mandibles with aging we are losing bone tissue too, so augmentation of the bone is beneficial. Thank you for your question.

Does liposcution help one lose weight or does it only tighten the skin?
Thank you for your interesting question. Liposuction is not a method to lose weight. It is for reshaping the body by removing fat, which is unable to be removed with diet or exercise. READ MORE
Thank you for your interesting question. Liposuction is not a method to lose weight. It is for reshaping the body by removing fat, which is unable to be removed with diet or exercise. Some methods of liposuction may also tighten the skin, but this will take 3-6months. The healthier and more physically active you are, the better the results would be.
The advantage of the technique I use at my office is that I can perform liposuction safely under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.

My daughter is 4 years old and has burnt her hand by dropping hot water. Is skin grafting recommended for her considering age?
Thank you for the question.
If it is minor, it should heal just with wound care. If the burn is deeper with signs of compromised skin viability, a full thickness skin graft maybe READ MORE
Thank you for the question.
If it is minor, it should heal just with wound care. If the burn is deeper with signs of compromised skin viability, a full thickness skin graft maybe appropriate. In chronic cases, if there is a decreased range of motion of the hand, then there is an indication for a skin graft. Most likely, the only care your son will need is wound care with creams like Vaseline.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
