Ask Doctor Grover - Compression Garments After Tummy Tuck Surgery - How Long?
Most plastic surgeons will have their tummy tuck patients wear some form of abdominal binder or compression garment for the first 3-6 weeks following a tummy tuck. Many patients will express that they feel more comfortable and confident with it on during the first month or so. Some patients can’t get wait to get rid of it though.

Ask Doctor Grover - Botox price should be determined by the unit
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.

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 - 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 - Labiaplasty Cost
Labiaplasty costs, as with any cosmetic procedure, can vary. Every situation is different. Most patients who request a labiaplasty desire improvement in the appearance of the labia minora. However, some patients also request a labiaplasty of the labia majora (outer lips) and some may benefit from clitoral hood reduction as well as liposuction of the mons pubis.
Costs will also vary depending on whether the procedure is performed in the office or in a surgical center and whether it is performed only under local anesthesia or with anesthesia delivered by an anesthesiologist.

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.

Ask Doctor Grover - Orange County Botox Specialist Dr. Sanjay Grover - Dynamic Wrinkles
On average, most patients will notice that they will see a return of ‘dynamic’ wrinkles (those created from muscle contraction) by three months after injections of Botox.
Some patients do not want to see any movement or appearance of any wrinkles and may feel that Botox only lasts them 2-3 months, while other patients may say that their Botox lasted them 6-9 months, but upon examination you see a fair amount of movement.
In general, this is not dependent on age. You may find someone in their late 20’s or early 30s with very animated wrinkles that are quite apparent with only little muscle contraction, while you may see a 60-year-old patient with few dynamic wrinkles.
