Dr. James M. Landeen MD's Expert Contributions
What is the best surgery for belly fat?
It can either be suction or an abdominoplasty. This depends on how you present yourself to the surgeon. And, on occasion, it can be both. READ MORE
My nose, chin and bottom lip are crooked what can I do?
Without continuing with a surgical repair, I am not familiar with anything else that could give symmetry to your face. This is a difficult problem. READ MORE
What happens if you don't wear compression garments after lipo?
Basically, you will not have the expected results. The garment adds the necessary compression to stop bleeding, swelling, add to the result, and give some relief pain-wise from the operation. Do not have the the procedure if you plan not to follow the instructions. READ MORE
Can I brush my teeth after a rhinoplasty?
Yes, but do it carefully. Do not be vigorous in the effort. Floss, then brush easily. READ MORE
How do you wash your face after rhinoplasty surgery?
Carefully. Washing your face is OK. If you have a cast, it should not get wet. Just do it where you are careful, mindful. You should not get the cast wet, and have common sense about this. READ MORE
When can I get my nose wet after rhinoplasty?
You most likely will have a cast. If so, when the cast comes off, you can get in the shower wash your face gently; soap, water, etc. READ MORE
How often should breast implants be checked?
It is the day after the surgery, one week to take the sutures out, one month later, then only necessary for something questionable by the patient. This is, if everything is going well. READ MORE
Is it normal to feel breast implants move?
The answer is yes. You should be instructed to move the implants at least once a day. This prevents the surgical pocket from shrinking and thus making the look and feel abnormal. READ MORE
What holds breast implants in place?
The pocket has to be made by a qualified surgeon. If made correctly, the implants will hold their position when implanted. If there is a reason for it, he/she will place permanent sutures to hold that position. READ MORE
Can I get surgery for this?
I have no experience with this. However, if there is an obvious deformity, you would think there is a surgical correction. You should seek out an orthopedic surgeon. They will be able to answer your questions. READ MORE
What is the success rate of tympanoplasty?
There is a graft placed to repair the hole. If you seek out an experienced surgeon with previous good results, you should expect 90-100 percent on the first attempt. You have to follow the post-surgery instructions. PERIOD! Do not be careless in this. Being careless could determine a failure. READ MORE
What is canaloplasty surgery of ear?
That is an unusual term, however, it probably is surgery on the ear canal. It could have a blockage that needs repair to improve hearing. The blockage can be trauma, born with it, or something getting placed in the canal inadvertently. Depending on the severity and the surgery required to fix it, it could be an out-patient procedure. Also, depending on the severity, the results of the repair could be excellent. READ MORE
How long does tightness last after a neck lift?
Depending on how it is done and by whom, it can last several years. Make sure you go to an experienced surgeon and ask to see some results. READ MORE
When can I sleep on my side after a facelift?
Having a facelift at 33 yrs is somewhat unusual. But, follow the directions of the doctor doing the surgery. With your head elevated after the surgery, move it side to side when sleeping. It is best not to sleep for long periods on one side of the face. If this happens, the swelling that occurs will correct with the head position corrected. Just make sure the head is in a proper position when elevated. The chin is elevated with the head elevated. READ MORE
Is there a way for breast enlargement without surgery?
Basically, no. If you gain a lot of weight to increase the size of the breast, this is the wrong thing to do. There is more than one way to increase the breast size, but it is still surgery. READ MORE
How do you treat a burn scars on your neck?
The scar that remains from burn therapy can be really good or minimal. If therapy has not been tried, do this first. Then there is the surgery. This involves excising the burn or improving it by partial excision. You may need a graft for closure. I would need at least a picture to accurately guide you. READ MORE
Can you tighten loose skin on arms?
Not much for this. Build up arm musculature and watch your weight. Surgery may be the answer. However, there can be objections to the scars. READ MORE
Can skin be tightened without surgery?
Not really. You can take very good care of your skin, exercise, diet, etc. and once the skin has been stretched by being overweight, “it ain’t going back.“ This has some dependency on age. But if the skin has been stretched, surgery may be the only answer. So, the answer is to prevent it from being in that position. READ MORE
How do you sleep after a septoplasty?
You sleep with the head elevated. This is very important. It keeps the post-operative bleeding normal and helps to breathe. This elevation should be with pillows. Be comfortable, but if you are almost sitting, the better it is. Breathing through the nose is most unlikely due to packing; this is normal. READ MORE
How long do you wear a compression garment after an arm lift?
It can vary. Like what your activity is after the operation. But 6 weeks generally will do. Be careful with arm activity and keep them elevated as much as possible. It could be less depending on your activity, etc. Do what you are instructed to do. READ MORE
