  • I have a scar because of a fall from when I was a kid. Can the mark be cleared through a cosmetic surgery?

    Scars can be eliminated with ablative lasers like CO2 or Erbium lasers. These lasers slough off superficial undesirable skin and induce new growth of skin and collagen. Platelet Rich Plasma can be extracted and concentrated from patient’s blood to be injected into the scar for remodeling of disorganized fibrosis of tissue. This fibrosis causing the scar can be lysed with many micro injections of PRP which causes new growth of rejuvenated skin, softening the appearance of scarring. However, one should be careful not to intervene with hypertrophic scars or keloids as patients tend to scar even more with medical interventions. READ MORE

  • Can liposuction work for diabetic patients?

    Liposuction is not a weight management solution. However, localized fat dissolution will be helpful in diabetic disease. Diabetes should not be contraindication to liposuction. READ MORE

  • Can plastic surgery remove a birthmark?

    Birthmarks are referred to medically as Nevus of Ota. They are aggregates of melanocytes and melanin in the dermis of skin. Although excision via surgery can completely remove the lesion, typically, it will leave an incisional scar. Lasers and IPLs can more effectively treat such pigment lesions of birth without scarring.

  • Does liposcution help one lose weight or does it only tighten the skin?

    Localized liposuction achieves debunking of fat around stubborn areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Though not used in weight loss regimens, liposuction obviously can decrease a patient's weight simply by the mass it removes out of the patient. However, it should never be perceived as a replacement for a good weight control program of dieting and exercise. READ MORE
