Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Does Botox Cause Wrinkles?

You may be noticing previous lower lid wrinkles now that your Crow’s feet are improved.  Botox should not create new wrinkles under the eyes following treatment of the Crow’s feet.  You may benefit from a blepharoplasty procedure or laser resurfacing.

Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Rhinoplasty Results are Subjective

A ‘bad nose job’ can be very subjective. A bad nose job can present itself with a undesired cosmetic appearance or an undesired breathing problem. Realize that the nose will go through a lengthy ‘healing’ period following rhinoplasty. This can be anywhere from 1 to 2 years. Do not rush into a rhinoplasty revision; however, it is not unreasonable to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon or another if you have significant concerns or anxiety. Avoid undergoing further surgery for at least one year following your initial rhinoplasty.

Ask Doctor Grover – Laser Face Lift?

A fractional laser is best suited to rejuvenate the skin, but does not perform a facelift. If your main concern is lax skin and jowls, I would recommend you undergo a facelift. You can achieve some tightening from a fractional laser or other non-ablative laser such as ReFirme or Titan, however, the results are not the same as with a facelift.

Ask Doctor Grover – What is a non-surgical Face Lft?

A non surgical facelift generally refers to fillers, Botox, and certain laser procedures. These treatments are ideal alone for patients who do not require a facelift. Facelifts will help address excess lax skin and underlying tissues. Some patients who undergo facelifts will also benefit from these treatments such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Botox.

Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Botox or dermal fillers?

Botox is wonderful for minimizing dynamic wrinkles that occur with muscle contraction.  If you don’t have the wrinkles while at rest and not contracting any muscles, then it likely will work well.  There are instances when someone needs both Botox and a dermal filler, especially in the glabellar area between the eyebrows (the ’11′ sign) when these have become deep grooves.

Ask Doctor Grover – Performing Face Lift while effects of Botox still present?

Botox and Fillers are complimentary to many Face Lifts. Each procedure can improve signs of aging at different levels and regions. It is usually not ideal to perform all of these procedures in the same setting however as the effects of the filler and botox will be less precise.

Ask Doctor Grover – Placement of sutures makes all the difference in Face Lift Surgery

The number of sutures placed in any procedure is not important.  What is important is that  the appropriate number of sutures are placed in the right place, using appropriate techniques to achieve the desired result.
