Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Interested in Lipo, BBL and TT. What technique is used for sedation? Epidural vs anesthesia?
Epidural vs anesthesia
May 13, 2019
Epidural is not a local anesthetic, but rather a regional anesthetic that blocks painful stimuli to the thorax and abdomen. If used instead of general (gas or i.v. anesthesia) it must be accomlanied by intravenous sedation, otherwise you will hear and feel everything but in a painless way. Abdominoplasty can be performed in this way and even liposuction, but always with additional sedation to knock you out. All told, it’s up to both you and the anesthesiologist to choose the right a...
Is it worth it to have a lower face and neck lift if you have continual bone loss from partial
Continued bone resorbtion and facelift choice
Dec 14, 2018
I quite understand your point regarding the usefulness of a face and neck procedure in the case of continuing bone and soft tissue depletion. However unless you do not wear dentures, I believe the procedures would greatly enhance your appearance and turn back the clock at least by a decade. The sagging neck has little to do with bone resorption, and a youthful neckline will be your reward.
Best regards,
Dr. Ben Villaran
I'm considering lipo. Am I a good candidate?
Lipo vs weight loss
Nov 26, 2018
Congratulations on your weight loss. Although you are a good candidate for 360 lipo, of you do manage to lose an extra ten pounds the result would be much better. I noticed what appears to be a C-section scar on your lower abdomen. Is that so or is it just a skin fold due to the extra fat that you had before losing weight?
Best regards,
Dr. Ben
Is pain and swelling on the inside area of my hip normal after TT and what can I do to minimiz
Post TT surgery pain and swelling
Nov 28, 2015
Txblonde, while we really need some pictures of the area, I would venture to say this could either be swelling wnd irritation due to the pressure garment you are no doubt wearing or perhaps due to inflammation caused by the subcutaneous suture material. If the area is red and throbby, suspect localized infection. My advice is to check with your surgeon who will determine the cause and give you the appropiate treatment. Good luck!
Will my eyelid crease get higher?
Difference in eyelid crease height
Nov 21, 2015
In answer to your question on disparity of your eyelid crease height, a picture would be very illustrative to determine the cause of the problem. This very well could be due to a difference in the levator muscle insertion, in which the high crease is accompanied by the whole eyelid sitting a bit lower than the other side. Also helpful would be a preop picture to determine the position of the eyelid.
9 mths after tummy tuck, I feel tingling & vibration surge on left side when I rub my fingers
Post-TT tingles
Nov 6, 2015
Tingling and strange sensations are called paresthesias, and are normal some months after the procedure, as it means the nerves are reconnecting. You may also feel sharp little twinges in different parts of your tummy. These usually subside after approximately a year, and if not are treatable with medications for that address neuropathic pain.My advice is to keep calm and talk to your surgeon about it.
My eyes are small. What would I need to do in order to make them bigger? Also, what part of my
Small appearing eyes
Oct 23, 2015
Thank you for your question. I see a pleasantly proportioned face in regards to the three thirds (upper, middle and lower). Beautiful abundant wavy hair and soft olive complexion. I´m guessing Mediterranean ethnic background, (Spanish, Italian or even Middle-Eastern). The eyes are deep-set and and almond-shaped, and have a nice expression. To try and make them round and wider would possibly deform the features. The most that I would consider is perhaps a brow elevation and maybe...
