Can My Double Eyelids Be Maintained during an Upper Blepharoplasty?

Image
Upper blepharoplasty is effective in fixing droopy eyelids due to skin aging. However, some of our customers who have double eyelids wonder if their double eyelids could be maintained during an upper blepharoplasty, or if the upper blepharoplasty should be combined with a double eyelid incisional surgery.  Can your double eyelids be maintained during an upper blepharoplasty? If you have double eyelids, the droopy eyelids and excess fat can be removed through incisions made along your eyelid crease during surgery. There is no need to create new eyelid creases. However, your eyes may appear unnatural for a while after surgery due to the incisions made along the crease. They will become more natural within 3 to 4 weeks.

How Soon after Surgery Can You Do Labor Work?

Image
A lot of our patients who do manual labor jobs have asked us when they can resume work after an eye wrinkle surgery or facelift.  So, how long after surgery should you wait to get back to work if your job involves a great deal of physical activities? If this is the case, it is recommended that you pay special attention for 1-2 weeks after stitches removal. Otherwise, the incision may get infected or opened again due to sweats.   Moreover, after surgery, you should refrain from lifting heavy stuffs for a while. 

Does Nose Job Make Your Eyes Look Closer Together?

Image
Nose bridge surgery is a plastic surgery that increases the height of one’s nose bridge. Many people who are interested in nose bridge rhinoplasty wonder whether their eyes will look closer together after surgery.  Will this ever happen? Rhinoplasty does not reduce the distance between your eyes.  In very rare cases, the eyes may become closer together if the nose bridge is heightened too much. However, you don’t have to worry about that if your nose bridge has been heightened to an acceptable level.  Sometimes the welling may make your eyes look closer together, which is temporary. Your face will look natural after the swelling goes away.  

Say Goodbye to Neck Wrinkles

Image
Many are concerned about the appearance of wrinkles on the neck along with the loss of skin elasticity due to skin aging. Especially those who love wearing outfits that can reveal their attractive neck are more interested in neck wrinkle treatment. Good news is neck wrinkles can be easily removed with Juve Look treatment. Juve Look is an injection procedure that promotes skin collagen production. It is very effective in smoothing out wrinkles on face and neck. Your neck area will be improved naturally after the treatment. This treatment is specifically recommended to those who hesitate to get filler injection. It is advisable to get 3~5 sessions of Juve Look at 3-week intervals. The result lasts up to about 1~1.5 years. Juve Look consists of ingredients such as polymer PLA and hyaluronic acid. Therefore, it does not lead to rejection in the body and is absorbed over time.

Can You Combine Infini and V-RO?

Image
Infini micro-needling tightens enlarged pores while V-RO lifts saggy skin and improves skin elasticity.  Many clients ask us whether it is possible to have both treatments on the same day.  Yes, it is possible. Since the skin layers targeted during the two treatments are different, you can get both at the same time.  Infini is a procedure that combines radio frequency and micro-needling to stimulate the dermal layer of the skin. It helps tighten pores and improve the appearance of acne scars. Meanwhile, V-RO is a procedure that stimulates the SMAS layer and lifts facial muscles. Therefore, you can notice a lifting and skin-tightening effect after it. In conclusion, you can get both treatments on the same day, V-RO first and then Infini.   

How Soon after Blepharoplasty Can You Get a Facial?

Image
Many patients have asked us how soon after blepharoplasty they can get a facial.  Is it okay to stimulate the area around your eyes after surgery? You can have a basic facial 2-3 weeks after a blepharoplasty.  However, avoid massage therapies that put too much pressure on your eye area, or the incisional site may get opened again.  For more intense stimulations like Meridian massage, we recommend waiting until one month after the surgery.  Remember, meet your plastic surgeon for a post-operative progress checkup and consultation before getting a facial. 

When Can I Resume Exercises after Calf Botox?

Image
When summer comes, many think of getting calf Botox, thus have a lot of questions about this.  However, people who have the habit of exercising regularly wonder when they can resume exercises after the treatment. So, when can you resume exercises after calf Botox? You should avoid exercises for 2 weeks following the treatment. Results can be affected by intense activities like running. Also, do not wear high heels for 2-3 weeks.   Following aftercare instructions is crucial to all types of treatment and extra care is especially required in case of calf Botox injection. Botox is a procedure that reduces the size of calves by temporarily weakening the calf muscles. Excessive movement can lead to the re-enlargement of your calves big. It’s essential to consider this aspect when you decide to undergo the procedure. 

Can You Achieve Optimal Results after a Single Facial Lipolysis Procedure?

Image
If you are concerned about your chubby cheeks or double chin, facial lipolysis can be an effective solution.  Many customers have asked us whether only one session of facial lipolysis can bring about good results. Can you achieve a slimmer face after just one session?  Facial lipolysis is a procedure that dissolves excess fat tissues on the face using laser. After the procedure, the skin elasticity is improved.  It is possible to achieve results in a single procedure. However, if there is a substantial amount of fat, it is recommended to undergo 2 sessions. The skin can sag if too much fat is dissolved in a single procedure.   To decide whether a second session is necessary, you need to meet your surgeon after the first session for a post-operative progress checkup. 

How Long after Plastic Surgery Can You Color or Perm Your Hair?

Image
Many patients have asked us about having their hair done after a plastic surgery.  They wonder when they can have their hair dyed or permed. It is recommended that you get your hair done 1 month after the treatment period.  Hair dyes and perm products can irritate your skin. Therefore, you should avoid having your hair dyed or permed until the surgical site has fully healed. Especially, facelift surgery involves incisions just behind the ears and in the hairline, so you would need to be more careful.  Remember, visit a plastic surgeon for a consultation before getting your hair colored and permed. 

How Long Does Swelling Last after Double Eyelid Surgery?

Image
Many patients start to feel concerned about swelling 1 or 2 weeks after double eyelid surgery.  You may wonder when the swellings will subside, and how long it takes for your eyes to become natural. Following an eye surgery, the speed at which the swelling and bruises disappear varies depending on one’s body constitution.  Typically, significant swelling subsides within 2-3 weeks, while residual swelling takes 3-6 months to fade away. It may last longer depending on individual’s body constitution.  After double eyelid surgery, apply cool compress for 3 days, followed by warm compress for a week. This helps with reducing swelling. Besides, it is recommended to consume foods that help reduce swelling and take occasional walks.

What Determines How Long Fillers Last?

Image
Dermal fillers help fill in the sunken areas of the face and improve the appearance of deep wrinkles.  However, even when using the same type of filler, the duration of results can vary depending on the treated area. What could be the reason?  The duration of fillers varies depending on the skin condition.    In areas like the eyelids with thin skin or nasolabial folds prone to frequent movement, fillers tend to be absorbed faster by the body, even when the same type of filler is injected.    On the contrary, areas with minimal movement, such as the nasal bridge or cheeks tend to have a relatively longer duration of result.  That’s why choosing the right filler for the treated area is important. Prior to filler treatment, it is crucial to consult with a plastic surgeon and select the appropriate injectable. 

How Long Does V-RO Result Last?

Image
V-RO is a procedure that combines ultrasound and radio frequency treatments. As an upgraded version of Doublo Gold, it is effective in lifting sagging skin. How long does the V-RO effect last as a straightforward method to enhance skin elasticity?  V-RO is recommended to be performed once every 3-4 months. With each treatment, you will notice your skin gradually becoming more elastic over time. V-RO’s remarkable effects extend to cheeks, jawline, foreheads, and even delicate parts such as the eye region. To maintain skin’s firmness and elasticity, consider booking your next V-RO treatment before the enchanting effect wears off completely. 

Do I Need to Use Scar Ointment after Lower Blepharoplasty?

Image
Lower blepharoplasty involves making a long incision under the eyelashes and removing fat and saggy skin under the eyes.     Since incisions are made in this surgery, a scar ointment will be prescribed. When should you start applying scar ointment and how long should you use it? It is advisable to start applying Contractubex scar gel 2-3 weeks after stitches removal. You may feel a tingling sensation in the surgical site if you apply it earlier.    Scar ointment is recommended to apply for 3 to 6 months, and the scars typically fade away 6 months later. Moreover, after lower eyelid surgery, Steri strips need to be applied onto the ends of the incisions for 3 weeks. It is recommended that you apply Steri strips for at least 3 consecutive months even while sleeping.

Can Laser Toning Remove Hyperpigmentation Completely?

Image
Laser toning is applied to remove spots appearing due to aging or sun damage.  However, many patients wonder if this laser procedure removes all the pigmentation spots entirely.   Laser toning can remove all the pigmentation spots gradually and safely. In order to see a more stable result, the doctor recommends having laser toning regularly. Usually, it is advisable to have 10 sessions at 1-week intervals. After 10 sessions, blemishes and pigmentation spots might get lighter and almost unnoticeable. However, patients might be asked to repeat the procedure more than 10 times depending on the skin condition and how deep those spots are.   After 10 sessions, you should repeat the treatment once a month in order to maintain skin free of dark spots.

Can I Have Upper Blepharoplasty Twice?

Image
   Upper blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery addressing excess skin in the upper eyelid region that may obscure vision.  In many cases, the eyelids become saggy due to ageing even one has undergone an upper blepharoplasty once. Is it possible to have second upper blepharoplasty?  Eyes are the body parts that age the fastest. The upper lids can sag again even though the excess skin in this area has been removed once. In this case, another upper eyelid surgery can be performed. However, you should consult with a plastic surgeon before deciding on undergoing a second surgery. 

How Often Do You Need Square Jaw Botox?

Image
Square jaw Botox is effective in slimming down the face for those whose masseter muscles are overdeveloped. The effect typically lasts from 3 to 6 months depending on the product, so the procedure should be repeated after a certain period of time.  However, many people may fail to repeat the treatment in time. Should a repeat injection be carried out at regular intervals?  In order to maintain your slim jawline, you ought to get the treatment at regular intervals.  After a certain time period, the jaw muscles will return to its original form. Repeating the treatment every 3-6 months will help the results last longer.   After the treatment, you will need to avoid hard foods that can make your masseter muscles quickly develop again. In addition, you should stop small bad habits in daily life such as grinding or clenching your teeth. 

Do Fillers Make Your Skin Sag?

Image
Fillers can fill in the parts that lack volume.  Many people are concerned that once fillers have been fully absorbed by their body, they  will be left with loose skin.  So, do fillers stretch out your skin or make it sag?   Fillers are gradually absorbed over time. After that the skin recovers and returns to its original state.  Therefore, the skin will neither sag nor be stretched after fillers.  However, the skin may become loose if fillers are over-injected or dissolved suddenly. Fortunately, this is temporary and the skin will return to its original state eventually. 

Can I Combine Multiple Plastic Surgeries at Once?

Image
During consultation with us, many patients are interested in more than one plastic surgery. Usually, they wonder whether getting multiple procedures simultaneously or one single procedure at a time would be better. When you are interested in more than one procedure, which option would be better?  We recommend undergoing multiple plastic surgeries at the same time.  The reason is that having more than one surgery in a single operation produce more satisfactory results. For example, a combination of rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty would be better than either of them being done separately. Combining these two procedures allows the surgeon to assess your nose and eyes in relation to one another and to overall facial aesthetic balance.  In addition, considering the recovery time and surgery aftercare, combining multiple surgeries into a single operation is more convenient and timesaving.
