You certainly can have a neck lift without endo tracheal intubation …
It is usually done by our team under IV sedation .

With proper pre op screening and board certified plastic surgeons coupled with excellent anesthesia services the risk is certainly controlled and minimal. I usually do my rhinoplasty at a hospital with board certified anesthesiologists and the patient stays overnight for a more stress free recovery.. As I usually improve breathing as well as improve appearance insurance covers the hospital and anesthesia// which is a significant savings for the patient!!

The best overall skin tightening procedure is literally geared per each patient…on the degree of laxity on the degree of loss of eladtic fibers AND WHERE THE LAXITY IS. Radio frequency devices are superb options for overall tightening; they require one to two sessions a week for about 3 weeks….We use NUERA radio frequency device and the EVOLVE system with tite tone and trim options.

We also utilize MORPHEUS radio frequency microneedling device/dramatic improvement for face and areas of loose tissue/cellulite on body … we do MORPHEUS often in conjunction with stem cells applied to face after or PRF (platelet-rich fibrinogen )…

Other more invasive options with and without surgery are often routinely employed as well…

It is a rare instance that some one would choose liposulpture on their hands. Placing fat or filler on the dorsum of the hands to have the heads look more rejuvenated is a more common request.

This is a good question: CAN FAT BE TRANSFERRED FROM THE ABDOMEN OR ANY OTHER AREA OF THE BODY TO THE GLUTEAL ZONE?
This procedure, incorrectly named Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), has been around for over a decade and refined over the last 5 years. Go to a board certified plastic surgeon who does power assist lipo Sculpsure and is well versed in fat transfer. Under the safe guidelines of this procedure, a true, long-lasting gluteal shaping can be created. We have been doing this for over a decade ! Go to drbafitis.com and see our results..
Always open for questions.

Thank you,

DR. BAFITIS

Thanks for your question about how to get some improvement on a sagging skin or a obtuse cervical mental angle :bulky central neck. Although surgery is the most efficacious and long lasting improvement there are some recent advances that create non-surgical/minimal invasive modalities that can significantly improve this double chin appearance.

The use of the INMODE face tight or accutite radio frequency device can significantly improve the contour of the chin and neck angle. This is a highly sophisticated radio frequency device that can be performed as an outpatient under straight local anesthesia. The patient goes home the same day wearing a minimal compression wrap for 24 hours and can resume activities within 48 hours with minimal swelling.

The results are excellent but the patient must know that an initial result will manifest within three weeks but a more significant result will take up to 3 to 4 months. The result itself will last up to 15 to 18 months but the tissues will always maintain a better firmness than they had before the procedure as new collagen has been created.

Thank you so much,

Dr. Bafitis

Double pigmentation is a very perplexing issue for many patients, specifically when it is difficult to remove with normal bleaching creams. Dermal pigmentation which really is darkening secondary to certain conditions like pregnancy, trauma, post-procedure, i.e., laser or microneedling RF, or just your ordinary run-of-the-mill aging sun damage.

At Bafitis plastic surgery, we treat double pigmentation specifically of the face and neck, and oftentimes of the parts of the body with a variety of different modalities, all efficacious, all approved by the FDA and based on Dr. Bafitis's 30-year history of being a plastic surgeon based on proven results.

The modalities employed involve an IPL laser and/or CO2 blade of laser and/or microneedling be it with infusion of growth factors or radio frequency microneedle he called Morpheus. The mainstay of treatment though starts with Dr. Bafitis's compounded product called feed and renew. Over two weeks, we start with feed and renew and then add a booster to assist a penetrating and 80% of the time no other treatment is necessary.

Eyelid surgery in skilled surgical hands is not risky at all. The upper lids are much easier to do than lower lids but upper lids and lower lids need to be addressed by somebody who truly understands the anatomy of the eyelid as well as the facial balance and proportion of the patient. It's important to note that eyelid surgery should be different for male and female patients. The lower lids are also a significant Surgical challenge. I personally always do fat transfer and a modified cheek lift as well as a skin pinch of lower lids and a retinacular suspension which prevents drooping of the lower lid. You could see results by going to dr Bafitis.com.

I also laser the lower lids scar with a CO2 laser at three weeks which essentially makes the scar look invisible. Be careful who you go to an asked to see examples as well as being able to talk to patients thank you Dr. Bafitis

YES AND A BIG YES TO THAT QUESTION.
PLEASE NOTE THOUGH THAT LOWER EYELID SURGERY IS 1000X MORE DIFFICULT THAN UPPER LID SURGERY.OFTEN A LOWER LID CHEEK LIFT AND FAT TRANSFER IS INDICATED /AS WELL AS A PROCEDURE THAT PREVENTS LOWER LID DROOPING AFTER SURGERY ( RETINACULAR SUSPENSION ).

REMEMBER YOUR EYES SHOULD LOOK NATURAL NOT LIKE YOU HAD SURGERY!~

THANK YOU DR BAFITIS

Depending on size and location of scar, it varies widely. Scars across HIGH TENSION areas like the mid chest or back and shoulders are more challenging in removal and correction. I usually use allografts of stem cells to assist in healing. I often recommend laser for scars after surgery to improve the cosmetic result.

NOT AT ALL.YOU MUST AVOID DIRECT SUN AND HEAL IN AIR CONDITIONED COMFORT. THE SUMMER IS WHEN WE DO A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF RHINOPLASTY WHEN OUR PATIENTS ARE HOME BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS.
THANKS.

Good question!

Depends if you correct a hernia with the “tummy tuck” and/or do Lipo Sculpture with the procedure. Usually, you get a tight feeling and not as much pain. It may be a little uncomfortable in the first few weeks as you may be bent forward for a bit. Most of my patients have little pain and more tightness. I always do liposuction with the procedure to get the best waist possible and often correct hernias all from the low bikini line incision.

Usually you are given some oral medication, a Valium-type drug. This allows you to relax and keep your blood pressure down (WHICH IS GOOD FOR HAIR GRAFTING!). Also, the oral medicine can potentially prevent side effects from the local anesthetics (i.e., Lidocaine) used in the procedure. Make sure you go to a board certified SURGEON for your hair restoration. Check all credentials. You will be surprised that many doctors are only there for show and do not participate in the procedure.

THANK YOU

This is a great question. For females, age 14-17. For males, age 16-18. It's important to have cartilage mature in the growing patient. Make sure you go to a physician who does plenty of rhinoplasty and is board certified.

THANK YOU

Yes, you can obtain almost 70% to 80% improvement with the use of fat transfer mixed with PRP or ACELL into the scarred areas with needle subscion followed by CO2 laser treatment. Or, you can follow with a series of icon laser treatments; the 1540 every 6 weeks X3 treatments all work well.

Thank you,

Dr. Bafitis

Yes. There are a variety of treatments available. If the birthmark has changed in size, shape, and color, your insurance may cover removal! Go see your plastic surgeon and discuss treatment!

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CORRECT A NOSE BOTH FUNCTIONALLY AS WELL AS COSMETICALLY. MANY PLASTIC SURGEONS CANNOT CORRECT A DEVIATED SEPTUM ....THE USE OF SEPTAL GRAFTS, CALLED SPREADER GRAFTS, AND SOPHISTICATED SEPTAL SUTURING CAN IMPROVE BREATHING AS WELL AS IMPROVE APPEARANCE. LOOK AT BEFORE AND AFTERS AT: DRBAFITIS.COM

POLYCYSTIC OVARY DISEASE IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. ADDRESS THE INSULIN RESISTANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYNDROME WITH DIET AND EXERCISE. THAT WILL ALSO ASSIST SKIN CONDITIONS. AS A PLASTIC SURGEON, WE OFFER A COMBO TREATMENT OF ICON LASER PLUS IMMEDIATE LOW WATS CO2 LASER, PLUS RETINA AND BLEACHING TREATMENTS. GO TO DRBAFITIS.COM

To correct a scar, especially on the face, you can either do scar revision (surgery) or use CO2, laser energy to improve the scar, maybe one to three times spaced 4 to 6 months apart.
