How Much Does a Cellulaze Treatment Cost?

A: Cost of Cellulaze

The cost of Cellulaze treatments varies depending on how many areas need to be treated. I would advise making a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area who can evaluate the areas to be treated. Then and only then can you get a firm price. That being said, I have seen prices ranging from $2500 on up depending on the areas. This is well worth it considering it is a single treatment that looks like it will last at least a year. You won't need to treat repeatedly like you have to with other techniques.

I Had a Small Lipoma Removed from Forehead. 3 Days Later, Swelling & Bruising in the Corner of my Eye & Nose. Normal?

I Had a Small Lipoma Removed from my Forehead. After 3 Days I Developed Swelling & Bruising in the Corner of my Eye & Nose. H Is this cause for concern? I've been using ice to reduce the swelling, but, it's hard to do for any length of time, if I want to see. How long will the bruising swelling last?

A: Bruising of the eyelids is common after forehead lipoma removal

Most forehead lipomas are subgaleal (under the forehead muscle). When the lipoma is removed, a small amount of blood will inevitably seep downward (with gravity) to the upper eyelids. Blood trapped beneath the skin will cause bruising. This is common and should resolve within 10 to 14 days.

Keep in mind, however, that if your forehead is quite swollen and the bruising is severe, you should see your surgeon. This could be a sign that you are forming a hematoma (collection of blood) at the surgical site.

Should I Avoid Second Hand Smoke in a Casino 5 Days Before Breast Lift?

I am having a bilateral mastopexy in 5 days. I would like to go out tomorrow night with my husband (possibly to a casino) and there will be smoking. Should I not go because of the second hand smoke? I am not smoking but I am worried about being around it before my surgery. Thank you so much.

A: No smoking before surgery: first-hand OR second-hand

Cigarettes contain nicotine and emit carbon monoxide and a variety of other unhealthy chemicals. Although second-hand smoke is not as bad as doing the smoking yourself, it's still not good. You should avoid smoking of any kind for at least two weeks--and preferably four or more--prior to breast lift surgery.

Exposure to cigarettes increases your risk of wound healing problems, infection, poor scarring, poor circulation to the breast skin and nipple, breathing problems after surgery, and blood clots. If you're going to take the time and money to undergo a completely elective procedure, why not stack the odds of success in your favor?
