Swelling 13 months later after kenalog injections?
Unfavorable healing
Aug 12, 2021
Unfavorable healing of those is a very real and common problem we encounter in nasal surgery. When the nose swells a significant amount and the swelling does not subside that swelling becomes fibrotic scar tissue. Kenalog injections do help with this tissue for about for the six months to twelve months. After a year, Kenalog injections do not really help a whole lot and they actually cause problems because it will thin out the skin. In my practice, after a year when a patient has a bump or…
Can I get implants with thin stretched skin?
Breast lift with Implants
Aug 12, 2021
You are an excellent candidate for a lift with implants. This procedure would entail removing a lot of the excess skin making the breast small and tight and then placing an implant. Most likely a gummy bear or a cohesive implant under the muscle so that the breast can look perky and full and round. You will always have the issue of having thin skin and depending on the quality of your breast tissue, you may actually be a good candidate for a dermo matrix. Any well breast specialist should be…
Can my nose still be swollen as I’m 9 month post rhinoplasty and the tip still big?
Scar Tissue and Unfavorable Healing
Aug 12, 2021
At nine months post surgery, most swelling should be gone. What you are looking at now is not so much swelling but rather scar tissue due to unfavorable healing. My recommendation is that you seek the help of a rhinoplasty surgeon whether it be your old surgeon or you trust someone else to consider a revision. A revision a would certainly enable the surgeon to give you a much prettier, more attractive, and softer look. Good luck.
Is there anyway I can put bone graft in where I got the bump shaved down to make it look somewhat ba
Bone graft or Cartilage graft
Jul 6, 2021
This is an important question. Often times in revision rhinoplasty, we try to restore the original framework of the nose. In order to do this, we use sturdy structures like cartilage to give support to the overlying soft tissue at the nasal lining. To answer your question, we can put bone but we prefer to typically use cartilage that can be gathered from your ears or even your rib.
How long after just ab etching (no other lipo done) before one can return to the gym and lift heavy
How soon can you get back to training?
Jun 22, 2021
When minimal liposuction is done with abdominal etching that is performed typically you can go back to exercising in two weeks after the gym. In cases that standard liposuction is performed I rather wait four weeks to start exercising. But ultimately, I would leave the discretion to your surgeon who knows exactly what they did and can give you the best advice. Good Luck!
