Ask Doctor Grover - How soon will I see results from Juvederm?
The wonderful thing about many dermal fillers today is that you will see immediate results. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid or sugar that will attract water.
Because of this, you will see some additional swelling or fullness usually within 2-3 days. This usually resolves within the first week following injection. Rare patients may develop significant swelling, but is less likely.

Should I wait to have a Face Lift until after my Botox wears-off?
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 - Botox for Lip Lines
Botox is a wonderful modality to utilize for lip lines; however, you must understand what you are getting into.
When injecting Botox in the forehead or glabella, it is okay if one is unable to contract these muscles; however, only a small amount of Botox should be injected around the mouth at any given time in order to prevent oral disharmony or affect one’s pucker too much. This may mean that you will require more frequent injections to maintain this result.

Ask Doctor Grover - Is the nipple removed during nipple reduction surgery?
The nipple/areolar complex is rarely ‘removed’ during breast reduction or lift. With current techniques for breast reduction and lift, the nipple areolar complex is kept attached to the underlying breast tissue to provide blood supply. The surrounding skin is removed and tailored. Rarely would a ‘free’ nipple graft be performed, perhaps in a very large, pendulous reduction or in a situation where the blood supply is compromised.

Ask Doctor Grover - Areolar Reduction Rejuvenates Sagging Breasts
Areolar reduction is a nice procedure for the right patient with the right type of breasts. Most breast reductions and breast lifts are performed along with an areolar reduction as part of the procedure. Areolar reduction, by itself, is requested on occasion, and does also produce a tightening and lifting effect to ones breasts.
An isolated areolar reduction can be performed under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. It will take most surgeons between one or two hours. It is not appropriate for some patients and usually is best after childrearing is complete.

Ask Doctor Grover - Nipple Reduction Surgery for Women and Men
Nipple reduction is not an uncommon request. Although I perform many more breast procedures on females, it is interesting that I find that more males request ‘nipple reduction’. This procedure is often performed differently for males and females. I find that most males prefer their nipples to be as small or least protruding as possible. This procedure is performed under local anesthetic in about one-half an hour.

Ask Doctor Grover - Does the Breast Reduction include a Breast Lift?
Most breast reductions will lift the breasts as well. There are rare instances when a breast reduction will be performed with liposuction alone. Liposuction would rarely ‘lift’ the breast unless there is fantastic elasticity. Many breast reduction techniques will utilize the same incisions used for a breast lift with or without a breast implant.

Ask Doctor Grover - Can one maintain breast size with Breast Lift?
A lift will help your droopy breasts but will require some scars. You may or may not require an implant as well depending on the quality and quantity of your breast tissue. With a breast lift, your own breast tissue can be restructured to give the appearance of a fuller breast. The extent of scars for a mastopexy will depend on the extent of droopiness and the quality of your skin.

Ask Doctor Grover - Is there a non-surgical Breast Lift?
If you desire to have your breasts lifted, you should undergo a surgical breast lift. There are many different techniques offered for different patients by different surgeons.
You should seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your breasts and determine what is your best option.
There are some who have marketed breast lifts with ’sutures’ of ‘Botox’, but this does not appear to be a valid option.

Botox Works Well - Used in the right spots
Too much Botox or even a little in the wrong place can cause your eyebrows to droop.
As you know, there are muscles that work to lift the brow (the frontalis muscle in your forehead) and muscles that can pull down the brow (the orbicularis muscle around your eyes). They work in balance.
One can achieve a nice ‘chemical browlift’ by injecting appropriate amounts in the right spots.
However, if you have a tendancy towards too droopy of a brow or too much excess skin, Botox will not help and you would benefit from a blepharoplasty or browlift.
