QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Possible factors that can cause a bump after liposuction are induration (most common cause that appears about one week after liposuction and slowly dissapates over 6 months), uneven fat removal (area would be soft after about 4 months), muscle issues (ventral hernia, diastasis- this would get much bigger whenever you flex to do an abdominal 'crunch' exersize), hematoma/seroma ( slowly dissapates).  Hopefully over time your issue has resolved.

Good luck!

You look like a great Tumescent liposuction of the neck candidate.  It takes about 30 minutes and is under local anesthesia and produces great results.

Good luck!

The transfer of fat from one area to areas of depression work well for divits after liposuction.  Any bumps would require some additional liposuction to get them to smooth out.

Good luck!

It is very early and many things can change.  Definitely, the abdomen is much more sensitive to liposuction, while the flanks (especially the hip areas) are relatively insensitive.  If a large amount of fat was taken then the difference will be obvious (at least with Tumescent Liposuction- which is the type I do) even the next day.  If a small amount was taken then swelling will obscure the change and you will need to wait up to 4 months.

Good luck!

Your scar appears flat but darkly pigmented.  A bleaching cream with 4% hydroquinone and tretinoin for several months is probably your best bet.  Wish your skin type any type of physical treatment may make it even darker.  Time should lighten it as well.

Be patient.

One of the more onerous side effects of traditional liposuction is DVT (deep venous thrombosis) also known as "blood clots".  This occurs if your body is very still and muscle action is low ( for example:  going under anesthesia, or sitting in a car or plane for long periods of time).  To decrease your risk, avoid estrogens and birth control pills for one month prior to the procedure (since estrogens increase the risk of blood clots).  Choose modern liposuction where you are not asleep ( true tumescent liposuction which is done completely with local anesthesia).   Stay normally active after the procedure- avoid lying in bed "recuperating".  It is important to keep your blood moving, so on the plane, get up and walk around every hour.  If you cannot get out of your seat then tap your toes to squeeze your calf muscles every hour.  Wearing compression stockings may also be a good idea.  Good luck!

I have had the opportunity to perform Tumescent Liposuction on the center upper back in several patients and they have all turned out great.  The healing time was quick with these patients only taking 2 days off of work and the scaring unnoticeable after a couple of months.  Totally done underlocal anethetic and Tylenol as needed for the minimal pain afterward. Good Luck!

Latisse for 13 Year Old Lash-Picker?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Picking out any kind of body hair ( scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard hair) that you know you should not do but cannot keep yourself from doing it , is called trichotillomania.  Trichotillomania is not uncommon in children but unfortunately using Latisse would not help.  Latisse allows the hairs to grow longer, but if they are not there to begin with, would be a wasted effort.  A consultation with a child psychiatrist would most likely be helpful.

The beauty of liposuction is the resculping effect it has.  You are given fat cells in a genetically determined distribution, more in certain areas than others.  When you gain or lose weight all the fat cells get bigger or larger together, whereever they are.  That is why trying to lose wt in only one area of your body is impossible.  Liposuction takes the extra cells that you have in a certain area (like your belly).  After liposuction there are fewer cells available in that area to accept calories.  If you gain weight after liposuction, those calories will go to all available fat cells, whereever they are.  Since there are fewer fat cells left in the area of liposuction, it will not be able to accept as many calories and all other body fat cells take up the extra calories.   After liposuction you will permanently store your fat differently and, usually, in a more pleasing fashion.

If the edema your experiencing is from Restylane or any hyaluronic acid product then I should be easily treated with an injection of Vitrase into the area.  Vitrase is an enzyme that litterally eats hyaluronic acid within 24 hours of injection.  If you do have the Vitrase but still have the edema, then look for another cause (fat herniation from under the eye, thyroid problems...) . Good Luck!

DO NOTWASTE Your Money on Cool Sculpting

Please ladies do not waste your money on Cool Sculpting, the minimal results if any simply do not give your body any significant change. A serious exercise and eating plan + a possible tummy tuck/lipo would be worth much more, but the results are not there! This is a profit maker for the docs, many doctors I know have let their machines go as too many patients were not satisfied! Forget the result photos, ask to meet the actual patients and see if the skin is smoother such as the photos displayed....

Dr. Voss Is by far one of the best dermatologist In Seattle! Her knowledge and an eye for beauty that’s natural is exceptional. I Would recommend her or anyone on the team of Northwest Face and Body. Kudo’s to Heather as well.

Deep Acne Scars from Sebacious Cysts, Completely Smoothed and Plumped - Kirkland, WA

Dr. Voss has added Bellafill to her repertoire. She is a true artist, and I have trusted her for many years to remove sun cancer lumps on my face and body. She is so good with the surgery that I have almost no visible scarring even though she has had to remove lumps the size of a golfball. She offered me the opportunity to be her learning patient when she added Bellafill to her practice, as it is permanent, natural, and would be a great solution for my deep craters from teenage sebaceous cyst acne, 40 years ago. I have suffered with these scars all my life, but as I reached my mid-fifties and my skin really started to sag (hereditary and result of tanning) the scars on my cheeks made me look so haggard and old, and I was embarrassed about my appearance. Dr. Voss used several syringes of the Bellafill under the supervision of another doctor, which was a wonderful benefit to me as it didn't cost me anything since I was the guinea pig. Although there was significant bruising which lasted about 2 weeks, due to the high volume of product, the result is just spectacular. My self-esteem has risen incredibly. My cheeks are smooth and plumped and since this is a natural, permanent product, my own collagen is growing around the granules. It has been almost a year and I can assure anyone that this is permanent, and lovely. People I see frequently told me after the procedure that I looked very youthful (they didn't know I had anything) and continue to tell me that to this day. I am so grateful to Dr. Voss and Bellafill for the results. I have been living with these scars my whole adult life, and you can't hide this with makeup or anything short of a complete facelift, which sags after 10 years or so. I feel pretty again and it has been a really long time since I could say that. I have a couple of small dimples still that were so deep that I could use one more tiny application and I intend to have Dr. Voss do that for me. It's amazing, not only the product, but Dr. Voss. She is dedicated to her patient's satisfaction, appearance and health. I would never go to anyone else to keep my skin healthy. Updated on 31 Mar 2016: Photo added at request of viewers. A very harsh photo but I think you can get the general idea. Much smoother and plumper. This is a year later.

Petite Girl with Thunder Thighs! - Kirkland, WA

Dr. Voss was a delight. Not only was she personable, but she was efficient, professional, and straight to the point. She made me feel at ease, she told me what I needed to hear, not what I WANTED to hear. in other words, she was truthful. she gave me very contoured thighs. I got my outer and inner thighs, down to my knees. it's been almost 3 months since my procedure and I have gotten many questions on how I lost so much weight, especially my legs. it's great to see the improvement in my legs every week!

Accutane

Accutane is one of the best decisions I've made - Seattle, WA

This reviewer is affiliated with RealSelf. The views expressed here are their own and do not reflect the views of RealSelf, Inc. When I was 12 or 13 I started to get deep cystic acne on my back. It was horribly embarrassing, especially for a teenager. If I had to expose my back (tank tops or swimsuits), I would do my best to cover it with concealer or wear my long hair down. I tried every OTC topical treatment, body wash, etc. I used Proactive (body wash and spot treatment) to no avail. At 18 my derm finally suggested Accutane as a last resort. My mom was very worried about the side affects, but let me do it anyway. I was double insured through my parents so I don't recall it costing anything. Accutane was 100% effective for me. It started working within a month. The only downside for me was the skin peeling. It started with my face... sometimes l felt like Goldmember in the third Austin Powers movie (he peels off his skin for fun---so gross!). In the last few months of treatment, my hands and feet started to peel too. It was BIZARRE. I used Accutane for 9 months, and within a month after stopping my skin started to go back to normal (not peeling). I haven't had any acne on my back since (I'm now 24). Though I never had terrible acne on my face, the Accutane made a difference with the little that was there. Now I only get a big pimple every couple of months. For reference, I was a young, otherwise healthy girl, so that could be part of why I had few side affects. I highly recommend Accutane. The confidence I've felt since was WELL worth the few months of dry skin issues. I've since discovered I look great in a halter top! If you do use it, opt for Aquaphor as your nighttime moisturizer when the peeling gets bad. I wish I'd discovered that sooner.

Consultation Review: Waited time

Had my first consult it was a waste of time and money I told the receptionist what I wanted to have done drove 2:30 hours to be told the doctor did not perform the procedure I’m wanting waited longer in waiting room than what I spent talking to doctor.

$11,000Liposuction

cara marie

HORRID EXPERIENCE - Kirkland, WA

Do not ever go to her. She totally botched simple liposuction making my thighs like square blocks versus spherical and round like a normal thigh. She then took out too much from my knees where they then sagged. I developed nerve pain after the surgery and she was defensive and evasive and seemed more worried about herself than her patient. She is rude, arrogant, uncaring and does not know anything about lipo and the human body anatomy. Another surgeon was stunned at her work that he asked if he could write a letter to her on my behalf. I had to undergo several hours of surgery all on my dime for him to reshape my thighs and make me look halfway normal again. I did not have the energy to sue but I should have. For your own sake, do not go to her - you will regret it
