  • Can neck fat be removed?

    Yes, the fat underneath the chin (submental fat) can be removed by 2 methods. One is liposuction, after which a chin strap will be placed for a week or so. Another method to remove submittal fat is by a series of injections to the submental area using deoxycholic acid (Kybella), an FDA-approved medication that works by destroying the fat cells under your chin, thereby improving your profile.

  • How do you get a flat stomach after liposuction?

    Thank you very much for your question. The limit to how flat I can make the tummy is influenced by how much weight you are carrying inside your belly, which cannot be addressed by liposuction (nor a tummy tuck). READ MORE

  • Is cheek implant surgery painful?

    Thank you very much for your question. In order to place the cheek implants, incisions are made inside the oral cavity and to allow exposure of the cheek bones when you are asleep under general anesthesia. These incisions are later closed with sutures that dissolve over time. There will be some swelling and soreness, especially in the first week or so. The soreness/ pain is adequately relieved with NSAIDs. READ MORE

  • Can plastic surgery fix my chin?

    Thank you very much for your question. There are several treatment options to change to the look of your chin. First is using fillers, but the effects may not be long lasting. Another option is chin implantation if you wish to augment your chin. Finally, the chin bone can be repositioned to alter its look (osseous genioplasty). READ MORE
