How long does it take for nose to look normal after rhinoplasty?
I tell my patients 90% of swelling will be gone in 90 days, but it can take at least a year for all swelling to resolve. READ MORE
Is brow lift surgery permanent?
With a good brow lift you should have years of impoverishment. As you age it is possible your brow may start to fall again. READ MORE
What happens if you don't replace your breast implants?
There is no rule that you need to have your implants replaced every 10 years. The current FDA recommendation is for patients with silicone implants to get either an MRI or high resolution ultrasound 5-6 years after placement, then every 2-3 years. READ MORE
How tight should my post surgery bra be?
I have my patients wear what feels comfortable. In fact if you are having a straight forward augmentation I think it helps your implants settle quicker if you let gravity do it’s thing. READ MORE
How long does pain last after breast augmentation?
I would expect most of your pain should be gone by now. It’s not unusual to feel tight for several weeks, but if you are still having pain that is requiring you to still need narcotics I would recommend being evaluated by your surgeon to make sure you are healing properly. READ MORE
How soon can you color your hair after a facelift?
I allow my patients to resume styling their hair a couple weeks after their surgery provided their incisions are completely healed. It’s not too unusual to have some areas of scabbing, particularly around, the hair line. In this case it’s best to wait until the scabbing is all resolved. READ MORE
How long does the tip of your nose stay hard after rhinoplasty?
One of the first things you learn in plastic surgery training is that it takes a full year to see the final results of a rhinoplasty. It’s not unusual for the tip to still feel hard at 5 months due to persistent numbness and swelling. READ MORE
Can I sleep on my side after eyelid surgery?
I believe it’s okay to sleep on your side as long as you keep your head elevated. I recommend my parents sleep in a recliner for at least a week post op to keep their head at least above the level of their heart. READ MORE
How long after liposuction will I see results?
It can take months. A good general rule is that about 90% of your swelling will be gone in 90 days. READ MORE
Can plastic surgery get rid of a nose hump?
For sure. That is probably the most common issue that is addressed with rhinoplasty. READ MORE
What is the most painful plastic surgery procedure?
In my experience I think tummy tucks probably experience the most discomfort. That being said, the vast majority of my patients are able to control their discomfort with over the counter medications within a few days of surgery. READ MORE
How long should I take off work after liposuction?
That kind of depends on your line of work and the amount of liposuction you are having performed on you. With liposuction there are no major incisions to heal so if you have a sedentary job you could potentially be back to work almost right away. On the other hand if you have extensive liposuctioning and a very physical job you may need more time to recover. READ MORE
Are you awake during a blepharoplasty?
You can be if you choose. I routinely do blephs in my office with local anesthetic and my patients tolerate it very well. This has the benefits of quicker recovery and it’s considerably more economical as there is no anesthesia or surgery center costs. However, if you are totally freaked out by the idea of being awake it may be worth the extra expense. READ MORE
Does arm liposuction leave scars?
If it’s only liposuction you should only have 3-4 small (
