Ask Doctor Grover - How long between treatments for PhotoFacial?
Be aware that there are many different laser companies that offer FotoFacial or photofacial treatments. FotoFacials, or intense pulse light treatments are effective for pigmentation and telangiectasias or broken capillaries. If your IPL laser also uses radio frequency, then you may notice some smoothing of the skin as well. You should have a consultation with a plastic surgeon to evaluate your skin type to determine how long between treatments. If you are lighter skinned and not tanning, you can generally have a treatment every 3-4 weeks. However, seek a personalized consultation.

Ask Doctor Grover - How do I find the best plastic surgeons?
It can be very confusing on how to select a surgeon for their cosmetic surgery procedure. I believe it is best to select a surgeon who is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery ( www.abplsurg.org), who is a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (www.plasticsurgery.org), and someone who is a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (www.surgery.org).
Next, I would visit the state medical board to see that their license is current without any limitations. Following this, I would go to the surgeon’s personal website to look at credentials, testimonials, before and after photos etc.
Finally, I would recommend you go visit the surgeon and see if you are confidant in and comfortable with the surgeon. Determine if you feel the staff is helpful and friendly. See if you can speak with previous patients.

Ask Doctor Grover - What are the best Wrinkle Fillers?
There are many fillers on the market today. Many of them work fine.
I prefer to use Juvederm for most of my patients. I will use Radiesse as well, but not in the lips. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid sugar and can be used in many places. It is soft and forgiving.
Additionally, it will last 6-8 months in many areas, perhaps less in the lips. The nice thing about this is that it will not persist for years as the rest of the face ages, and if someone does not like having a filler, it will go away in time.

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.
