How long do eyelids stay swollen after eyelid surgery?
Swelling is to be expected after a blepharoplasty. It will peak at 24-48hrs and then subside slowly in the next few days. The majority of that swelling will be resolved in 7-10days. READ MORE
How do you treat facial scars?
Is your scar related to the rhinoplasty? If so, nasal columellar scars usually heal well over time. That time can take up to a year for full scar maturation/improvement. If the scar is deteriorating instead of improving during this time, like keloid formation, development of hypertrophy (thickening), or hyperpigmentation (darker color), there are options that can be offered to you. Local Kenalog (steroid) injections can help with keloid formation and hypertrophy. Bleaching creams and lasers treatments can help with hyperpigmentation. The best course of action is to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform an assessment to consider if you will be a good candidate for any of these options or perhaps even a surgical scar revision.

How long does it take to recover from back liposuction?
It will take 7-10days for the initial post-op pain/soreness to resolve. That’s why I recommend taking 7-10 days off from work. You’ll see the final results after 8weeks when most of the swelling will be gone. You’ll still see some smaller changes for up to 6months. READ MORE
