My experience with Dr. Lozada and his team at Penn Medicine has been fantastic. I had a septoplasty and although I am still swollen, I am so happy. My results are exactly what I wanted and look so natural. Dr. Lozada made himself available for any and all questions. He explained everything to me and soothed all my fears about the procedure. He created a YouTube video for patients to explain every aspect of post-op care. He is so caring and compassionate. I could not have asked for a better experience and will recommend him to everyone! Phenomenal doctor and overall experience.
My husband and I both had such a great experience with Dr. Lozada and his team! He performed both medical and elective cosmetic procedures for us and we felt at ease through each of them. He has a fantastic bedside manner and is extremely knowledgeable in a broad scope of practice. We have and will continue to highly recommend him!
I had an upper blepharoplasty and brow lift and my eyelids and brow look fantastic. Although not impeding my vision to the detriment of daily living, I now have a slight increased field of vision that was an unexpected and welcome surprise. It has been six weeks and I have to really look to see any marks on the eyelids, no noticeable signs at all from the brow lift. I am 57 years old and before the surgery my upper eyelids were threatening to curl over my lashes and had nice little flap above outer corner of each eye. Both brows hung low with the left brow dropped lower than the right. I looked either exhausted or concerned most of the time.? Dr. Lozada went over everything in detail with me. He took his time evaluating me and listened to what I was trying to achieve. He then reviewed what reasonable expectations would be. Dr. Lozada is an artist and payed remarkable attention to detail. The night of the surgery there was a snow storm causing offices to be closed the next day. Dr. Lozada came to my home to to remove the drain and check my progress. Although necessary, I was both charmed and grateful. I cannot say enough about his skill and comforting manner. Updated on 3 Mar 2021: This is at about six weeks. The lighting is off, but the overhang reduction is clear. So glad I did this, so glad I went to Dr. Lozada. Everything is healing nicely and it does not feel like I've had surgery at all. Unless I stop to consider the wider line vision and that I can wear mascara again with it getting pushed into my eyes! I also don't look tired or grumpy towards the end of the day. I'm pretty happy most of the time, so it's notable that the "what's the matter?" and "long day?" questions haven't come up since the surgery.
Dr. Lozada went above and beyond to make sure I had a pleasurable experience. My initial consultation was close to 60 min (when usually doctors take the least amount of time to talk to you). He wanted to make sure he could address all of my concerns. The office has next level software where they can model what your face would look like with the dermal fillers. One of my main concerns was pain, and he assured me I was going to be okay. I decided to go ahead and get fillers in my chin for a liquid chin implant. The initial shot was a bit painful but Dr. Lozada would converse with me the entire time making sure I was feeling comfortable. He followed up the next day to make sure I was feeling okay and even told me I could come back up to one week after if I needed more filler. Overall, Dr. Lozada and his staff are very personable, kind, and knowledgeable. I would trust him to do continue doing fillers for me and any other procedures to my face. I highly recommend at least going in for an initial consultation!
Dr. Lozada is incredible! It was my first time getting Botox, and he walked me through the entire process and answered any and every question I had. He made me feel extremely comfortable and checked in after to see how I was feeling. I 100% recommend him as I had nothing but a positive experience. 10/10 WILL be going again (and again, and again)!!
Dr. Lozada is truly a brilliant doctor and artist! I have always wanted a rhinoplasty yet was nervous because my nose was very complicated. I had a deviated septum, extra cartridge on the tip, a bump, abnormally wide and extra long. When I first met Dr. Lozada he was so honest, polite, intelligent, creative and focused, reassuring and ethical I thought to myself this is my guy! Within a few weeks of my consult I was scheduled for surgery and was over the moon! He answered all of my silly pre and post op questions and responded within minutes of me contacting him no matter what time it was. I remember when I thought I ruined his amazing work because I hit myself while I was sleeping and thought I moved my nose (LOL) I can breath so much better because of my rhinoplasty. I look so much better and would do it all over again in a second if I could! If you have a nose or a deviated septum RUN do not walk to Dr. Lozada for your rhinoplasty!
Amazing! Dr. Lozada was so professional, knowledgable, and nice. I love my results! I look younger, more awake, and smoother. He was great every step of the way, and my injection were painless. I had deep lines in my forehead and am a very expressive speaker, and now my forehead is so smooth. He also lifted my eyebrows and it looks great!
Hello and thank you for your question! I do think you'd be a good candidate for liquid rhinoplasty especially to camoflauge the dorsal hump and lift your tip. Filler can be used to attempt to correct the deviation in your nose however this is at risk of widening your nose. Filler would need to be placed on the left side on your nose to even things out. This would ultimately make the middle vault of your nose wider than before. This is something you would need to understand before undergoing the treatment. If straightening out the nose and making the size of your nose/tip smaller is important to you, I would consider seeing a surgeon for a rhinoplasty consult...filler will not be able to achieve these results. I hope this helps!
Hi thanks for your question! It is not uncommon for patients to go to a different provider due to problems or complications from filler. You circumstance is also different given COVID which I understand. It is important to note that the original provider should dissolve the filler at no additional cost whereas going to someone new will likely see a charge for dissolving someone else's treatment. Good luck and I hope this helps!
Hi thanks so much for your question! Liquid rhinoplasty is a great procedure to camoflauge common issues on the nose such as yours. Filling the area immediately above the bump can quickly take away its appearance without the recovery of rhinoplasty surgery recovery. Most commonly people people use hyaluronic acid fillers which are temporary. Depending on the product they can last around 1-2 years. Importantly, you have to remember that not everyone is a candidate for liquid rhinoplasty...you cannot make the nose smaller we can only ADD volume. However, your case is really perfect for this issue. In terms of surgery, removing a bump in rhinoplasty is something very commonly done and by not working on the tip makes the recovery easier than working on all parts of the nose. I hope this answers your questions!
To get rid of the 11 lines between your eyebrows we are targetting the corrugator and procerus muscles. Both of those muscles pull the eyebrows done. Weakening those muscles will not drop your eyebrows if anything it would help elevate them. The only muscle that lifts the eyebrow is the frontalis (forehead) muscle. Eliminating those wrinkles requires balancing the ability to raise the eyebrows and getting rid of those lines. If you want to lift you eyebrow it helps to weaken the muscles between the eyebrows as well as the muscle around the eye (also gives the crows feet). We can strategically place some botox under the outside of the eyebrow and give a small lift (emphasis on small 1-2mm!). If you do have asymmetry between the eyebrows we can try and compensate for this by injecting the forehead in a way that tries to bring things more into symmetry. I hope this helps!
This is somewhat like the Mac vs. PC debate. Because cannulas do not have a sharp tip, the thought is that they have a lesser chance of poking into a blood vessel and causing an issue. This has not been supported by the evidence and cannulas can certainly cause vascular injuries like needles. One benefit to a cannula is a single entry poke, whereas needles require multiple needle sticks for the injections. Some people only use needles or only use cannulas but great injectors say they are both tools and to use all of your tools, learn to use both. So many injectors, me included, have areas where we use a needle, some where we use a cannula, and some where we use both! Hope this helps!
