Can stretch marks be removed permanently?
Any type of scarring on the body cannot be erased or removed permanently. That being said, there are treatment options for stretch marks, which include micro needling with RF. The other option is an extended abdominal plasty. If your stretch marks are below your umbilicus most likely they will all be removed during a tummy tuck procedure. If you would like to further discuss in a virtual consultation, direct message me on Instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
Breast augmentation infection?
From this picture, this is most likely a small hematoma or seroma around the incision line and not infection. That being said, I would reach back out to your physician and have him examine you in order to give you a definitive answer. READ MORE
What is the cost of a complete tummy tuck?
It’s extremely hard to get pricing on tummy tucks because tummy tucks vary so much from patient to patient and the pricing varies even more when liposuction is included. Average starting price is approximately $10,000 and can extend up to $18-$20,000 if core 360 liposuction is added. If you would like to set up a consultation, virtually direct message me on Instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
Why is my nose so oily after rhinoplasty?
The oily sebaceous nature of your nose, falling rhinoplasty is enhanced due to swelling. As swelling goes down, your nose will take on more normal characteristics for you. This will take up to 12 months. READ MORE
Medical breasts reduction?
My personal rule of thumb for performing breast reduction in a young adult is not before the age of 16 due to not just physical maturity put mental maturity as well. You would have to discuss this on individual basis with the physician you’re working with. READ MORE
Why do my eyes look smaller after blepharoplasty?
Without seeing a picture, it is hard to comment on this question. That being said, eyes may look smaller, because of scar contracture following your blepharoplasty. If additional procedure procedures were also used, this could further change the shape of the eye. READ MORE
How long does it take for plastic surgery scars to heal?
As I tell every patient once a scar, always a scar. The average scar builds up and thickens in the first three months to protect you from the outside environment and takes 12 additional months to break down to a fine white line. READ MORE
What is rhinoplasty recovery like?
Initial recovery is approximately 3 to 5 days with light activity, head elevation, and some ice. Following that you can resume light to moderate activity and full activity by four weeks. Final results on a rhinoplasty take 12 to 18 months before all swelling is down. If you’d like to further discuss in a virtual consultation, direct messaged me on Instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
Does facelift surgery last forever?
Oh, I get this question all the time. Facelift surgery does not necessarily last forever but rather takes you back in time. Following a facelift procedure the normal aging process continues. The average patient will appear 7-12 years younger following facelift surgery. If you would like to set up a virtual consultation to discuss further, you can direct message me on Instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
How long after rhinoplasty will my nose feel normal?
The average rhinoplasty patient will see the end result at 12 to 18 months minimum. This is primarily due to swelling and the maturity of scar tissue formation. If you’d like to further discuss in a virtual consultation direct message me on Instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
How long does it take to recover from eyelid surgery?
In my hands, the average patient recovers from eyelid surgery, and as little as 3 to 5 days. That being said, I still have them maintain light activity for the first two weeks due to the risk of bleeding. If you would like to further discuss in a virtual consultation you can direct message me on Instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
Can you sleep on your side after otoplasty?
Following oto plasty I personally have my patients wear a headband for at least a week to 10 days, especially while sleeping. I recommended they sleep in it a slightly upright position, and do not lay on their ears for the first two weeks in order to allow the healing process to occur. READ MORE
What are the risks of a neck lift?
The risks and side effects associated with any surgery include infection, bleeding, scarring, and nerve injury, including numbness or motor nerve injury where function is impaired. That being said these risks are extremely low with NECK LIFT. If you’d like to further discuss in a virtual consultation, direct message me on Instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
How long do you wear a chin strap after neck lift?
A chin strap after neck lift can be worn anywhere from 5 to 10 days depending on the type of neck lift that you have. something that’s more invasive would require a little bit more downtime with the chinstrap. In general with my deep plane neck lifts, I have the patient wear the chinstrap for 5 to 7 days and then they are done. READ MORE
Should I go to the same surgeon for revision rhinoplasty?
Most surgeons do not do secondary rhinoplasty‘s. Meaning that most surgeons do not want to operate on other surgeons previous rhinoplasty‘s. That being said, I always recommend that patient go back to the original surgeon to address the concerns because the original surgeon is the only one who knows what he or she did during the primary procedure. READ MORE
What is the best age to have a facelift?
In my opinion the younger the better. Studies have shown that patients who have facial surgery in their 40’s and 50’s, are happier with the results, heal faster and have more longevity with the results as well. This isn’t to say you can’t have a facelift later in life however, younger patients seem to enjoy the results a little bit more. For more information or to see before and afters, follow me on Instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
What is the best procedure for skin tightening?
My personal favorite is Renuvion. It is Helium based plasma with radio frequency and causes the connective tissue and underside of the skin to contract. I use this technology in almost every procedure that I do. For more information and to see before and after photos follow me on instagram @DrDaddyK READ MORE
Does a double mastectomy prevent breast cancer?
Bilateral mastectomy does significantly decrease your risk for breast cancer but does not irradicate it completely due to the potential for retained breast tissue cells in the surgical site. Routine exams by your surgeon and yourself would be recommended for continued follow up in patients with family history of disease. READ MORE
Are there any risks with lip injections?
There are always risks and potential complications associated with any procedure. Lip injection risks include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, infection and possible hematoma. These risks are very low when you are having the procedure done by an experienced injector. READ MORE
