Mr. Frank J. Ferrin M.D.'s Expert Contributions
What should I do if my eyelid is drooping?
First, make sure there are no other medical reasons for your condition. If it is merely because you have redundant (saggy) eyelids, then surgical correction by blepharoplasty is indicated. If is just a matter of muscle pull and push, then Botox injections can help to balance your eyebrows and improve the droopy eyelid situation. READ MORE
Is a breast enlargement safe?
It is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures. Yes, it is safe provided that you are well aware of breast size selected and the type of implant that you purchase. READ MORE
Will an otoplasty affect my ability to hear?
It will not. This surgery is only to the outside structures and cartilage that shapes your ears. READ MORE
Can plastic surgery remove burn scars?
Absolutely. That is why it is called plastic or cosmetic surgery. But there are many other alternative treatments to resurface the skin and gradually buff off certain types of scarring. READ MORE
Is liposuction safe?
Yes, it is safe. Provided that you have selected a well trained physician and that you do not have any major cardiovascular condition that could influence the effects of anesthesia and pain medication. READ MORE
Can you get plastic surgery on your lips?
Yes. You can get cosmetic modifications of any part of your body. You must find a surgeon that has the appropriate credentials and the appropriate set of skills READ MORE
How long does a facelift last?
An appropriate facelift typically will last 5-7 years without need to retouch. READ MORE
What is the best type of facelift procedure?
Sometimes, you actually do not need surgery. There are many lifting procedures as well as volumizers that can improve the look without the knife. PDO threads of different types can improve your looks inexpensively and without any downtime. Of course there are dermal fillers, and PRP to provide volume and improve skin quality. READ MORE
Do breast implants feel natural?
Truly, they do not. The main impact is for looks. The uplifted breast with more volume and improved cleavage definitely are a plus. But the feel and texture of the implant is a variable situation. READ MORE
Does a rhinoplasty have a long recovery time?
Depends on how much correction needs to be done. There is generalized bruising around the eyes and nose that can last up to a month. READ MORE
What can I do to remove scars from chicken pox?
Some pock marks can be quite deep and they tend to be circular which makes the healing difficult, but yes. There are many procedures that can improve the look of residual scarring from pox and acne. There are needling procedures, lasers and several other techniques available. READ MORE
Facial nerve damage after plastic surgery?
Unfortunately, there are instances when there is nerve impairment. Sometimes it is temporary, on occasion it might be permanent. READ MORE
Are there health risks involved with liposuction?
Yes, there can be complications as with any surgery. Mainly depending on the amount of time that the procedure takes, and the amount of fat that is being removed. Perforation of other organs or structures is often a problem as well. In general, liposuction is quite acceptable. READ MORE
What should I do if my eyelid is drooping after botox?
Unfortunately, droopy eyelids are a frequent side effect of Botox injections particularly when trying to smooth-out wrinkles that are very close to the eyebrows and out towards the angles of the eyebrow. The best thing to do is NOTHING. The botox will wear off gradually, you can try to "exercise" those brow muscles by forcefully raising your eyebrows to increase the motion of that area in particular. READ MORE
Will a rhinoplasty change the way I breathe through my nose?
Usually, when correcting the shape and alignment of your nose, there is improvement in function as well. The nasal septum typically has to be re-aligned for symmetry and thereby improves breathing overall. READ MORE
What are the non-surgical methods to reduce breast size?
None. The only reductive methods are resection and lifting. You may achieve a mild degree of lifting with threads (PDO threads), but it is only temporary, lasting 9-10 months at which time you may repeat treatment. This lifting is non-surgical and requires no anesthesia or down time. READ MORE
What's involved in an eyelid lift?
Fairly simple approach by carefully pinching excess skin in upper eye lids resecting redundant skin and closing with linear absorbable sutures. READ MORE
Are there any risks with lip injections?
Lip enhancement should be subtle and gradual. This to avoid any exaggerated look. Using threads for the outlines and complementing with one of several products available can give a natural and beautiful result. READ MORE
Does a fall mark heal on its own, or do I need plastic surgery?
Different scars heal differently. If stitches were used, then usually the scar is neater. So, it really depends on how you treat that scar. There are several treatments that can improve the healing and improve the residual scar. READ MORE
Even after a lip surgery, my lips are not in perfect shape. What should I do?
Lip shape and volume can be tricky using collagen threads and volumization with fillers may help with the shaping and symmetry. READ MORE
