Can TITAN Help Soften Restylane or Radiesse?

I am unhappy with recent injections in my cheeks. The doctor encourages the use of the skin tight laser, I believe TITAN, to "soften" the filler. I'm told it can be softely molded to reduce the uneveness I have. Are there risks? Will this help?

I would recommend that you seek a second opinion from an injector who is experienced in Restylane injections.  TITAN treatment will have very minimal effect on your treatment.  I am not sure how long ago your injection was, but it is likely that the Restylane can still be massaged to even it out.  As a last resort, hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the Restylane.

Is a Mid-face Lift a Problem when a Person Has Dentures?

I am not sure but I heard a rumor so I thought I better ask.

Genie,

There are several approaches to performing a mid face lift.  Some of these involve incisions on the inside of the upper lip close to the gums.  You should be fine to have a mid face lift performed.  If you have the incisions on the inside of your upper lip, you may not be able to wear your upper dentures during the healing period.

My eye surgery upper/lower and brow was performed 51/2 wks ago and one upper Eyelid is extremely swollen, and the shape of my eye was almond and now more Round, will the shape come back

Five and 1/2 weeks after eyelid surgery, most (but not all) of the swelling should be gone.  I recommend that you discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
