Dr. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez MD PHD's Expert Contributions
  • Are lip injections dangerous?

    Thank you for the question. If they are injected in the right location, and by someone knowledgeable, they are not, and will produce a fuller and more aesthetically pleasant lip. The recommendation is to have it done by a professional such as a nurse practitioner, or a physician. Good luck! Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • What is the best procedure to remove acne scars?

    Thank you for the question. The best results are usually a combination of procedures. These are performed at Medical spas by a Nurse Practitioner and an aesthetician. The best procedures are microneedling, chemical peels and laser. The degree of scaring determines the amount of sessions and what combination of these procedures. Make sure that you check medical spas and their reviews in your area. Good luck! Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • What is the recovery for otolarynology plastic surgery?

    Thank you for the question. There are multiple factors that can influence the healing time, such as type and complexity of the procedure, if the patient smokes, if the patient is on anticoagulation medication, or any medication that could affect healing, such as steroids. In the case of prominent ears, just speculating, the time is around 3 to 4 weeks. In the case of a rhinoplasty, nose surgery, about 6-8 weeks. It is always good to discuss these questions with your treating surgeon. Good luck with your surgery. All the best. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • Is eyelid surgery risky?

    Thank you for the question. Eye surgery can have some risks that are minimized in experienced hands. The risk of a hematoma after partially resecting partial fat pads is always present. This probably constitutes the greatest risk. Adequate measures are always taken to prevent this. This is a topic to discuss with your surgeon prior to surgery. Good luck with your surgery. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD, PhD READ MORE

  • Is the rhinoplasty procedure painful?

    Thank you for your question. Just as any other surgical procedure, there will be discomfort after a rhinoplasty. In any case, pain is very subjective, and something that seems painful to a person, it may produce moderate discomfort to another person. This is a topic to discuss with the surgeon prior to surgery, and discuss the type of medication prescribed for post-surgery pain. Good luck! Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • Is it safe to have a nose job in the summer?

    Yes, it is safe. You may have a bit more swelling because of the temperature. Higher risk of infection? Not at all. This is a place that rarely occurs an infection. To be honest, we live in A/C environments. After surgery, you should stay inside with intermittent local ice to decrease the swelling. Definitely a topic to discuss with your treating surgeon. Good luck with your surgery. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • Is nose plastic surgery safe?

    Current nasal surgery has very low morbidity. All the doubts have to, definitely, be discussed with your treating surgeon. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • What should I do if my eyelid is drooping?

    Thank you for the question. It depends on how long this has been ongoing. In any case, it would not hurt to run by PCP. Then, determine if consult with ophtalmology, neurology, or plastic surgeon, depending on the case. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • What's the best skin tightening treatment for the face?

    Definitely, the best non-surgical procedures are IPL, laser, complemented by the appropriate fillers to restore the loss of volume. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • Do you typically look better after plastic surgery?

    Thank you for the question. In my experience, yes they do. The assymetries can be corrected by choosing the correct size implant for each breast, to obtain symmetry. My personal recommendation is to choose a silicone filled implant. It provides a more nTural feel. However, this is a topic to be discussed with your surgeon. Good luck. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • What are some dangers of a rhinoplasty?

    Thank you for the question. In good hands, this is a safe procedure. Definitely you need to discuss your expectations with your surgeon. Bleeding is a possible complication that is usually prevented with good hemostasis during surgery. Excising to much bone can be another complication. Therefore, discuss your expectations and what bothers you, with your surgeon. All this needs to be addressed prior to the procedure. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • Does a rhinoplasty have a long recovery time?

    Each person will be different, and also depends on what has to be done to correct the shape of the nose. Safe to say that swelling, and post-surgery bruising may last about 3 weeks. The improvement is progressive. In the end, all will be okay. The time for the swelling to resolve is just a small price for the different aspects of the procedure. Best thing is to thoroughly discuss with the treating surgeon. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • Are there health risks involved with liposuction?

    Thank you for your question. The localized fat can be treated with liposuction. It depends on the amount, and the location. As with any surgery, there are always some risks that need to be addressed with the patient. Of course, the risk of those complications are minimized with the precautions taken before, during, and after surgery. I would suggest that you discuss those with whomever will be your treating surgeon. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • Is there an age requirement for a rhinoplasty?

    Thank you for your question. At 17, and with your parent’s permission, you should have no problems undergoing a rhinoplasty. It is, however, a conversation to have with the treating surgeon. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • Will a rhinoplasty change the way I breathe through my nose?

    The changes in the appearance of the nose, done through a rhinoplasty, should not change the function of the nose, particularly breathing. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD READ MORE

  • I burned my hand with boiling water, and now there is a scar. What should I do?

    Thank you for the question. The scar has to be evaluated, to determine on how to proceed. Burns have different depths and are treated differently. Definitely, I would suggest an evaluation by a plastic surgeon. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • Large scar on my hand. Can it be removed?

    Thank you for the question. The scar needs to be evaluated and determine what bothers you. Then an appropriate approach and treatment can be recommended. Please consult a plastic surgeon. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • What are the non-surgical methods to reduce breast size?

    Unfortunately, there are none. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • I lost a lot of weight very fast. What can I do with my skin?

    Thank you for your question.You are young, and I would encourage you to continue to workout, for the best chances of allowing retraction. However, often times surgical excision of the excess skin may be necessary. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

  • Which implants are the best implants?

    Thank you for your question. Usually, this is something that has to be discussed with your surgeon. Personally, I prefer silicone filled implants with textured surface, round and high profile. Again, a topic to discuss with your surgeon. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE
