Janet, thank you for your excellent question. The type of anesthesia performed is usually determined by both your plastic surgeon and the anesthesiologist they work with. In many cases, the procedure you described could be done under twilight. In our institution our anesthesiologist prefers general anesthesia for most of what we do. The most important …
A patient asked me an interesting question during a recent facial plastic surgery consult: "Does a facelift include a brow lift?" The short answer is no; a facelift addresses the lower part of the face, from the cheeks to the neck. But so many people considering facial rejuvenation at my Dallas and Frisco locations struggle …
While we usually don't make recommendations based on chronological age, being in your late 20s, you defintely don't need a face lift.

The nice thing about any hyaluronic acid such as juvederm or restylane is that you can remove it pretty easily with a product called hyaluronidase. I would seek a second opinion by someone with significant experience in injectables. There is often a test dose require to make sure you are not allergic.
There are several causes of bagginess of the eyelids 1. swelling - allergies are the number one cause 2. volume loss - when you lose volume in the central part of the cheek ( over the eye socket bone) it can give the impression that you have baggy eyelids 3.pigmentation - pigmentation overlying the bone …
Upper eyelid surgery can restore a more youthful appearance to the upper eyelid. In some cases it can also improve one's vision. Other factors that can contribute to a "tired" appearance includes allergies, the brow position, and the appearance of the lower eyelids. It is important that you discuss your goals and medical history with …
my preference is to treat this type of scar with a fractionated CO2 laser system. I think this allows a certain depth of injury which helps improve these scars. Because you have ethnic skin ( pigment) we have to be more careful with your skin and often decrease our settings ( less aggressive). This means …
Using a spray on tan after undergoing Pigment FX shouldn't necessarily hurt your skin but remember your skin is a bit sensitive following laser and may react differently at this time than it did previously. I would consider waiting a full three weeks before doing it.
