Can the fat injection procedure be used to enlarge the buttocks? If not, are there any procedures available for this?
A:
Fat injection to enlarge the buttocks, in my opinion, is not a reliable procedure. The fat may dissolve in a relatively short period of time. I believe that there is the potential for lumps of scar tissue that could be removed only by a surgical procedure. Implants placed in the buttocks have a higher complication rate than many other cosmetic procedures, so I personally am not a proponent of this procedure.

In upper eyelid surgery, what technique will provide the best result, with less scarring and long lasting results: using a "cool" laser or the traditional method?
A:
If it were a member of my own family, I would recommend the traditional method. The scar is 95% in the eyelid fold and cannot be seen. In most cases, there is excess skin as well as fat that must be removed, and this necessitates the traditional method.
