  • Can you reverse rhinoplasty results?

    Unfortunately, the answer is no. Discuss the results with your plastic surgeon. READ MORE

  • Does fat come back after a tummy tuck?

    Thank you for the question. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is not a treatment for dat. It is a remodeling procedure in which s portion of skin and excess fat is removed from the abdomen. Once the area heals, if important weight is gained, the remainder of the fatty tissue in the abdominal area can increase in size. READ MORE

  • Procedure confusion?

    Sometimes it is not the surgeon requesting these types of things, but the operating room due to the sterility of the environment required, for your procedure, or other more important procedures. Hope this helps. READ MORE

  • How soon can I wear makeup after septoplasty?

    You should be able to use make up pretty soon after surgery, avoiding the bottom of your nose, if there are any incisions in the area. Make up will help hide any bruising that could occur. Good luck with your procedure. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD Hand and Upper Extremity Surgeon. Hand Care Specialists of Wesley Chapel, LLC. 2050 Ashley Oaks Circle. Suite 101. Wesley Chapel, FL. 33544. Telephone: (813) 895-5581 // Fax: (888) 369-3691 Email: hcs_wc@yahoo.com READ MORE

  • How do you get rid of bruising after eyelid surgery?

    If there is any bruising after surgery, first of all, the body will dissolve. Also, the use of Arnica, other creams, and even laser can help expedite your body's work. Good luck with the surgery if you decide to do it. Feel free to ask any questions to the treating surgeon. You should ask him/her all the questions. READ MORE

  • How long after liposuction will I see results?

    Thank you for the question. In general, depending on the kind of liposuction done, you will see results right away. As time goes by, and the swelling decreases, you will continue to see improvement. The final result probably will be seen around 3 months post-procedure. READ MORE

  • Does arm liposuction leave scars?

    Thank you for the question. Liposuction is a procedure in which small cannulas are used either to create vacuum, or with ultrasound, to remove and remodel the fat from a certain area of the body. These cannulas are introduced through small incisions placed in strategic areas, that they may be inapparent once they heal. This is a topic to discuss with the professional of your election, to perform this procedure. Good luck! Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • Is it easier to lose weight after liposuction?

    Thank you for the question. This has been asked many times. The counter question would be, “What is the whole area that requires liposuction?” Liposuction usually is used for localized areas. However, there are some professionals that will do mega liposuctions. Liposuction is not a procedure for weight loss Rather, it is to remodel the areas where fat has greater accumulation in the body greater. From a psychological standpoint, the new image in the mirror, after liposuction, boosts the self esteem, helping the person to do the right things that lead to further weight loss. Hope that this helps. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • Is it normal to feel your breast implants?

    Thank you for your question. After undergoing breast implants surgery, it is normal to feel them. Most specifically the weight in your chest. There is an adaptation period for your body to somewhat incorporate the added weight of the implants. With time, that feel will disappear, and you will have s normal feel. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • Regarding my nose?

    Thank you for the question. My recommendation to you would be to go and see an ENT specialist. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • Is Mohs surgery safe?

    Yes, Mohs surgery is very safe, and only resects the tissue that needs to be excised. Thank you for the contact. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • How do you massage your face after a facelift?

    Thank you for your question. The massage after a face lift is to decrease the swelling after surgery. It should be lymphatic drainage type. Gentle from the center of the face to the back of the head and the neck. Check with your surgeon, and see if the surgeon works with an estheticist specialized to treat after face lifts. Good luck. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • How long after a facelift can I go out in public?

    Thank you for the question. Likely 2-3 weeks after the post-op bruises and the incisions are healed. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • My nose, chin and bottom lip are crooked what can I do?

    Thank you for your question, Unfortunately, any attempt to correct the asymmetry in your face will require some form of filler at least, but more likely surgery. The advice would be to consult a Maxillo facial surgeon in your area. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • Can I get surgery for this?

    Thank you for the question. You have what is known as “bowed legs,” or genu varum. Functionally should not cause a major problem, unless very severe. I would advise to consult a general orthopedics surgeon for you to be evaluated, and discuss options. Were you denied by the police, or the armed forces? Good luck. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • Can skin be tightened without surgery?

    The quick answer is yes! However, the skin has to be evaluated in order to recommend the required procedure. In general, a combination of different procedures is what works best. A combination of radiofrequency, laser, skin care, and possibly fillers if there is volume loss, can help achieve close to the desired outcome. I would suggest contacting your local medical spa. Good luck. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • How do you lose back and arm fat?

    The answer is easy: diet and exercise. You want to lose body fat and tone the muscles. An option for losing fat and tightening skin is cool sculpting. Consult your local medical spa for the latter option. All the best! Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • What is the treatment for a deviated septum?

    Thank you for the question. First, I would recommend a visit to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. Your nose will be thoroughly checked to find out exactly if the deviated septum may be the only cause of the breathing problem. After that evaluation, the proper treatment should be recommended. You may also have a hypertrophied turbinate that may require treatment also. Luis READ MORE
