Posted in Liquid Facelift, Plastic Surgery News on January 31stWomen in their forties begin to notice that their youthfulness and facial vibrancy is lessening. They want to look fresh and young again. The liquid facelift is an excellent solution to this problem.
The liquid facelift is not an overnight procedure. It is a series of injections of dermal fillers that lift, plump up, fill, re-contour and smooth the face. These injections are spread over three or four appointments. In some procedures, Botox is used.

My rhinoplasty was 8 weeks ago. The swelling has gone down from my bridge and that looks great but my nasal tip is still very, very swollen. Is it likely at this point that I'll need revision rhinoplasty to refine the tip? Does swelling generally remain in the tip longer?
This is very normal especially if your surgeon used an open rhinoplasty approach. Your tip will look a lot different in 6 months. Don't think about revision right now.

I’m Asian and a lot of my Asian friends have gotten nose jobs over the years. They all had fairly subtle changes, but I want a much more dramatic change. I want my nose to be completely westernized. Is this possible?
This is possible but be certain that that is what you want. There is no reversing a procedure like that.

Would it be unwise for me to have a rhinoplasty if I have severe allergies and sinus issues?
A good rhinoplasty should not affect your breathing in a negative way. If necessary, functional surgery can be added to enhance it.

I had a tummy tuck years ago and I loved the results. I've helped to maintain them by keeping in shape and eating well and doing regular abdominal exercises. I'm interested in getting a facelift and would like to know if there is anything afterward that I can do to help maintain the results similar to after my tummy tuck.
It's very wise of you to think ahead like that. A good skin care regimen and periodic targeted Botox and filler will enhance and prolong the results of your surgery.

I've used topical lip plumpers and I love the result but the look doesn't last for long. Can I get the same look with injectable fillers?
Yes and it will last you for 4-6 months.

I've always had a full lower face. I'm 44, male, and as I've gotten older my neck has become even less defined. This is all that I'm really concerned about so could a neck lift work for me or even just neck liposuction?
One or the other or some combination would likely meet your goals. This is best determined at your consultation.

Where are the incisions located for ear surgery? Are they noticeable?
Incisions are located in the crease behind your ears and are not visible. Take a look at some otoplasty before and after photos.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there about Ultherapy. Can you explain what it is, what it treats, and how effective it is?
Ultherapy is an ultrasound based treated which is said to be able to penetrate and heat deep fascia and muscle beneath the skin with resultant neck skin tightening. As with all ‘wonder’ technologies the company promises miracles and while many doctors anecdotally report some nice results there is still not yet enough experience with it to know if it truly delivers for the price.
