After burning my arm with a curling iron, what can I do to prevent scarring?
Curling iron burns tend to be deep. First, of course, seek medical attention and keep the burn clean and free of infection. We initially use topical silver sulfadiazene cream on these burns, then moving to something like an antibiotic ointment. When the skin has grown back and the burn is “closed”, silicone-based ointments and/or patches and a compressive wrap or a compression sleeve help the burn scars to stay flat. READ MORE
Can plastic surgery remove scars from previous surgeries?
All scars are to some degree permanent. If your scar is thick, wide, and/or darkly pigmented, a scar revision by a plastic surgeon could help to improve its appearance. READ MORE
Does laser treatment work for correcting acne scars?
If your scars are red and/or thick, certain laser treatments could help to flatten and lighten them. If the scars are older and depressed, “icepick” scars, laser would not be indicated. The second type of scaris better treated by directly excising it and closing each spot with a couple of stitches. READ MORE
Will my diabetes hinder my lip surgery?
Lips have very robust blood supply. If you carefully maintain your blood sugar in the normal range before and after surgery your healing process should not be complicated. READ MORE
Can I change my skin color with plastic surgery?
To lighten your facial skin, you might try a combination of long-term skin bleaching cream such as hydroquinone, and a chemical peel. Certain lasers can also help to lighten excessively pigmented skin. Surgery itself does not lighten skin. READ MORE
Is minoxidil safe for male pattern baldness?
The dandruff you have developed may be a side effect of the alcohol in the minoxidil preparation. Alcohol can dry the scalp skin. You could consider trying another product for hair growth, such as Finasteride. READ MORE
What are the risk factor associated with a plastic surgery?
The main risk factors of breast augmentation are post-operative bleeding or infection. These problems are rare. Later issues which can arise are malposition of the implants (their moving out of their original position) and capsular contracture (tightening up of the scar tissue envelope around the implants). READ MORE
Can plastic surgery put one at a risk of nerve damage?
Nerve damage is a potential risk of almost any operation as our nerves run throughout all parts of our bodies. During breast augmentation nerves can be injured, although this rarely happens. Sensory nerves including those which supply feeling to the nipples, can be injured during a long breast augmentation. Please speak directly to your surgeon about this potential risk. READ MORE
Is liposuction a permanent treatment?
Liposuction of the abdomen is in general a less permanent treatment than a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck removes both excess fat and skin. If you consult a plastic surgeon, he or she will tell you if liposuction is a good procedure for you. READ MORE
What are the risks associated with a jaw contouring treatment?
If you have drooping of the soft tissues of your face, a face and neck lift is the most effective way to tighten up your face and restore your jawline. Complications, although rare, include bleeding and motor nerve injury. READ MORE
Is a cosmetic surgery the same as a plastic surgery?
If a clinic is “cosmetic” then more likely than not the doctors operating there are not plastic surgeons. They could be gynecologists, general practitioners, general surgeons, dermatologists, etc. READ MORE
How can a scar just above the eyes be removed?
It would be helpful to know the age of the scar and the nature of the injury which caused it. However, if the scar is deep, with an irregular contour, it probably would benefit from a surgical scar revision. This is an elective procedure done after your scar has matured. I typically wait at least 10 months after the injury occurred. The old scar would be excised or carefully cut out. The new defect would then be meticulously sutured with stitches which are below the skin, so that they do not leave stitch marks. READ MORE
Is RF or laser technology helpful in getting rid of accident scars?
No treatment can 100% remove scars and return your skin to its pre-injury state. Several types of laser, however, can improve the appearance and diminish the visibility of hypertrophic scars. These include Co2, Nd:YAG, and pulsed-dye lasers among others. Steroid injections and topical silicone treatments can help as well. Consult with a plastic surgeon and/or a dermatologist who has experience in these treatment modalities to find out what plan would be best for your scars. READ MORE
What could be the best option for correcting baldness?
If you have standard “male pattern baldness” then micrografting of your own hair is your best option. READ MORE
What is the best treatment to get rid of stretch marks?
Congratulations on the birth of your child! There is no easy way to get rid of abdominal stretch marks, or “striae.” After you give birth to your last child, strongly consider having an abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck.” READ MORE
How can I treat wrinkles around my eyes?
Your first two steps are to use daily a good moisturizer on that skin, and to seek botulinum toxin (Botox, Xeomin, or other brands) injections for the overly active muscles around your eyes and upper face. READ MORE
What is the best treatment option for baldness?
Baldness, or alopecia, in women can be caused from a multitude of factors. These include hereditary influences, hormonal changes, skin diseases, endocrinological problems such as hypothyroidism, stress, etc. You first need a full medical workup to determine the cause of your balding. After that, we would know what treatments to suggest. READ MORE
What is the best way to treat puffy eyes?
To treat puffy eyes, we first have to diagnose the cause. Common causes are environmental allergies, such as to pollen, food allergies, and allergies/hypersensitivities to skin products such as eyeshadow. Those allergies must be prevented or treated in order to treat the eye puffiness. You can use medications such as Benadryl or Claritin for those. Some people even use topical treatments such as Preparation-H to shrink the puffy skin. Eyelid surgery, including skin removal, is helpful in severe cases. The surgery is called blepharoplasty. READ MORE
What is the best treatment for burn marks?
To answer your question I would need to know more details about her injuries. Patients with hand and face burns are usually cared for by plastic surgeons in a burn unit. Surgical treatment and dressings are normally used. After those wounds have healed, patients are treated with a variety of modalities - compression garments, massage therapy, secondary reconstructive surgery, and sometimes laser or steroid injections for thick scars.

Scars from burns
I recommend using a lot of moisturizer such as Aquaphor, as well as topical silicone ointment. READ MORE
