Answered Questions
Q:
Can I do lower eyelid surgery if I had Lasix done twice?
I am considering lower lid eye surgery combined with a full facelift. I had Lasix surgery twice, once to correct and then an enhancement a year later in 2001. I have dry eyes as a result. My eye doctor tells me I do not have tear production problems. The incision for the eye surgery would be on the inside with no skin removed - just fat bag problem. I would also like to have arm liposuction done at the same time. Is this OK?
A:
Having lasix ten years ago would not be a significant issue in regards to having a lower eyelid surgery and full facelift. Adding the arm liposuction may increase anesthesia beyond a safe time and probably should be done at a different time.
Q:
What can be done for dark wrinkled swollen bags that have appeared recently under the eyes?
Ii am 43 and have never had any allergies. Recently I have developed swollen bags under my eyes with heavy wrinkles and dark discoloring of the skin. I have been prescribed glasses for the first time in my life recently. What can be done for the bags and wrinkles?
A:
Douglas,
The bags under your eyes and the heavy wrinkles oould possibly be corrected with a combination of blepharoplasty and laser resurfacing. To determine if you are a candidate, consult with 3 - 4 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons.

Can a breast dimpling/crease be corrected after implant removal without getting another implant?
I have a deep dimpling/crease above my left areola due to having my breast implants removed three months ago. I really don't want to go back to an implant. Is there a procedure that would correct this?
A:

Q:
Can fillers help to soften scarring from post IPL procedures?
I'm scarred from having IPL procedures. Unfortunately I was not aware that scarring existed from IPL lasers and that they are usually latent. I went from smooth skin to my entire face being scarred at age 34. Can fillers help to soften the scarring?
A:
Claudia,
Sorry for your adverse result. IPL performed improperly can cause scarring. You do have some options to correct the issue. However, without an in-person consultation and exam it would be improper to suggest the appropriate treatment. Have in-person consultations with three to four experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to explore your options.
