Will a Laser Treatment Along With Fat Transfer Extend The Fat Transfer Results?

I am considering fat transfer treatment to smooth the appearance of acne scars along my cheeks. One surgeon I consulted with said using a laser treatment in same session as fat transfer, will improve results. Is this true?

A: yes to both

I agree that you will likely see better results if you undergo both procedures. I also agree that this is not due to either of these making the other better, but that they help in different ways. The fat will help fill in any volume deficiencies and the laser will help with skin irregularities. Best of luck.

Difference Between Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon and an ENT or Otolaryngologist?

I was wondering what the difference is between an ear nose and throat doctor and a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon? Can my ENT do my nose job ok if I went to him for a deviated septum?

**Note from RealSelf** Our site is designed to help consumers make confident choices and the below answers have lost this spirit.

To see the criteria RealSelf uses to list a doctor as a Facial Plastic Surgeon, please visit our Professional Policies. Doctors listed as a 'Facial Plastic Surgeon' on RealSelf are eligible to discuss treatments and procedures for any "neck-up" procedures, including those of the face, ear, nose and throat areas. As always, consumers should do their due-diligence in researching an individual doctors experience and credentials when choosing their surgeon.

A: Confused? Don't blame you

An otolaryngologist/head & neck surgeon is trained to operate on all structures in the head and neck excluding brains, spines, and eyeballs (in a nutshell). 25% of the board certification exam for otolaryngologists covers facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. The term "ENT" is an abbreviation for an otolaryngologist.

Facial plastic & reconstructive surgeons can become board certified as such in one of two ways. First, they can complete an accredited fellowship focusing in FPRS only for at least one year following completion of EITHER an "ENT" or plastic surgery residency. They must then complete an oral and written board exam and submit a case log of at least 1 1/2 years of procedures performed to establish competence. Alternatively, board-certified "ENTs" or plastic surgeons that do not complete a fellowship must submit a more extensive case log and pass the same exams.

Hope that helps.

Should I Ice my "Duck Lips" 9 Days After Fat Injection?

Very Unhappy with New Look!

A: Iced duck?

Swelling from inflammation usually peaks in the first 24-72 hours. Because of this, the ice is unlikely to be of particular benefit beyond this period. Eating a low-salt diet and keeping your head elevated may help to hasten your recovery. Good luck.
