Answer Snippet
Restylane injection – black eye. The surgeon did not use a cannula. Should she have?
Filler injection techniques
Sep 4, 2015
Sep 4, 2015
I recently attended a seminar for physicians. The doctor doing the presentation asked by show of hands how many of the physicians used a cannula and how many used a needle for injections around the eyes. It was pretty evenly divided.If you ask your doctor, it really comes down to his or her preference. Significant bruising in this area is very common and sometimes unavoidable – and cannulas can cause bruising just like needles.Hope this helps.
Why is there such a huge difference in hair transplant pricing?
Hair Restoration Pricing
Sep 1, 2015
Sep 1, 2015
Some doctors charge a lot more just because they feel like they can. The disparity in costs is confusing to me too.The best advice is to visit the places that you are considering and see if you can have confidence in the doctor and his or her medical team.
Regarding the harvesting of hair from the donor area, which technique is better: FUE or FUT?
FUT or FUE?
Sep 1, 2015
Sep 1, 2015
To be clear, FUE is simply a term coined by doctors for a different version of FUT. Both procedures rely on FOLLICULAR UNITS (the first two letters in both acronyms stand for follicular unit).In other words, both procedures rely on the physician harvesting grafts as follicular units. One procedure (FUT) is done with a scalpel, which results in a linear scar, and the other (FUE) is done with a punch, typically around 1 millimeter or less in diameter. The FUE typically results in…
Drinking alcohol before hair transplant?
Alcohol two days before surgery
Aug 31, 2015
Aug 31, 2015
As long as you did not bleed abnormally during the surgery or postoperatively, I would not be too concerned about the results. It is unlikely that the liquid refreshment you enjoyed with your friends affected your surgery since it was 48 hours before the surgery.
Can I get Botox one month before getting pregnant?
Pregnancy and Botox
Aug 28, 2015
Aug 28, 2015
To my knowledge, there are no studies that demonstrate harm to a developing baby with use of Botox. Having said this, due to the hypothetical risk, I do not recommend getting Botox to patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant. Especially at the doses required to treat hyperhydrosis, which are typically much higher than doses of Botox used for aesthetic purposes.I have treated many patients with hyperhydrosis, and although I can’t directly relate, I…
Can I take Aspirin Before My Hair Transplant?
It can affect the results of your surgery
Jul 30, 2015
Jul 30, 2015
Aspirin affects platelets, and will typically cause more bleeding during even minor surgical procedures. This is especially important in hair transplant procedures because extra or excessive bleeding can affect the overall survival of your grafts.Your primary care doctor or cardiologist will always have the best advice regarding aspirin and whether or not you can discontinue it for ten or so days. While we would always love to have you as a patient, most hair restoration…
Which would you recommend; FUE or FUT?
FUE
Jul 30, 2015
Jul 30, 2015
I believe, based on my review of literature, my interaction with hair transplant patients, and my observation of results – both my results and the results of other hair transplant surgeons – that FUE is typically a superior procedure.Certainly, this depends on the surgeon, the technicians, and the equipment used to perform the procedure. However, in the rights hands, it is my opinion that FUE typically will produce superior overall results.There is absolutely no such thing as a…
