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.

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.

Ask Doctor Grover - Will I get used to my butt implants?
Most of my buttock augmentation patients feel they are part of them. As with breast implants, patients tend to feel that implants are incorporated into their body and self image and do not think about them. Some of the buttock implants used now are softer than previously used. It also helps if you have a decent amount of padding or fatty tissue to cover the implants.

Methods for Buttock Augmentation
Two methods for buttock augmentation include:
1) Fat grafting using your own fat cells; and
2) Buttock augmentation using silicone implants
Patients with adequate donor fatty tissue elsewhere on the body may be a candidate for fat transfers. However, many patients who desire buttock augmentation do not have much excess fatty tissue and must rely on a silicone implant to achieve an augmented or fuller buttocks.

Ask Doctor Grover - Breast Implants Surgery Cause Stretch Marks?
Although most patients who undergo breast augmentation do not experience any stretch marks or striae, some can. A person usually develops stretch marks or tears in the dermis during periods of rapid growth in the presence of high circulating hormontes (steroids), for example, during puberty or pregnancy. If one’s skin envelope is quite tight and desires a large augmentation, this type of patient could potentially suffer from some stretch marks, depending on their genetics. These stretch marks initially are red in nature but whiten with time. Usually post partum women with stretch marks find that breast implants improve the appearance of their stretch marks.

Ask Doctor Grover - Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty can be performed on either the labia majora (outer lips) or the labia minora (inner lips). This can help give a woman a more pleasing appearance and correct excess, redundant labia that can occur congenitally or worsen after childbirth.
Several different techniques exist. I prefer to use a wedge technique on the labia minora (inner lips) as it gives a much more pleasing result than the amputation techniques.

Ask Doctor Grover - Orange County Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
When finding a plastic surgeon, I would recommend you search for one who is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgeons. You can find board-certified plastic surgeons in your community by searching www.plasticsurgery.org or www.surgery.org. I am proud to be a member of The American College of Surgeons thus I will put FACS behind my name, however, you may find some surgeons who are not plastic surgeons that are a member of The American College of Surgeons. They may be certified in other specialties instead of plastic surgery. It does get confusing.

What is the Botox Breast Lift? Ask Orange County Breast Lift Surgeon Dr. Sanjay Grover
Botox can be used to achieve a ‘chemical brow lift’. There are antagonistic muscles in the face/brow that work in balance to adjust the brow position. If one appropriately injects the opposing muscles in the correct positions, one can achieve a ‘brow lift’.
The frontalis muscle can be injected in the forehead, but not in the area directly above the outer aspect of the brow. This will allow the frontalis muscle to raise the brow if the muscle which pulls down the brow, the orbicularis, is injected or relaxed directly under the brow.

What is the standard cost of Botox? - Ask Doctor Grover
It is best to pay for your Botox by the ‘unit’. Each vial of Botox contains 100 units. Every physician may dilute their Botox differently, thus, the best way to compare ‘apples to apples’ is by knowing the price of one ‘unit’ of Botox.
Most patients who are good candidates for Botox can benefit from 10-20 units in each ‘area’ (glabella, forehead, crow’s feet).
However, there are many other areas of the face that may benefit from smaller amounts of Botox such as “smoker’s lines”, corner’s of the mouth, neck bands, dynamic (mobile) nose tip etc.
