Can Botox and dermal filler be injected into the crow’s feet/temples?

Yes, both treatments can be done at the same time if performed by an experienced injector. These treatments beautifully compliment each other and can offer a bright, more youthful appearance.

What to do about nasolabial hollows on the sides of nose? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

This area can be addressed with filler placed in the midface and deep onto the pyriform in the corner of the nose to help structurally lift and volumize this area. A filler such as Volume can last up to 2 years.

What is the best way to get rid of the horizontal line above my lip? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Neurotoxins, such as Botox or Dysport, can help to temporarily weaken the tightening of the obicularis oris (the muscle around the mouth) and thus soften this line. Results last about 3-4 months. For deeper lines, a filler such as Volbella can help as well.

Other than fillers for around the mouth, what other options are there for collagen growth?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Collagen can be stimulated in a variety of methods. For example, laser C02, fat transfers, micro needling with PRP, Sculptra, midface augmentation with fillers and medical grade skin care can help to address marionette lines. Often to best address overall skin quality, multiple modalities are needed for optimal results.

Interested in breast explant. Calcified silicone over muscle. Can I have them removed and then later have a lift if needed?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Trianna, due to your encapsulation and sub-glandular placement of your implants, you're at an increased risk for complication with any surgery. Usually depending on the patient's tissue, the safest pathway would be to remove the implants and as much of the capsule at the initial procedure. Waiting 6 months would allow us to have a better idea of if you even need a lift. You may be satisfied with your breasts without to having to put another implant in. Another option depending upon your appearance would be to re-implant you without a lift. it's important that you see a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience with implant removal and breast reconstruction. No doctor can be certain without examining you.

Concerned about the left side swollen more after 5 weeks. (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Shelbert, it's not unusual for one side to have more swelling and discomfort after abdominoplasty. keep in mind you won't see the final results for up to a year. I would recommend decreasing activity, wearing a compression garment, and following up with your surgeon.

I am wondering about my tattoos with a tummy tuck? How will they be affected? (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Most likely your right groin tattoo could be removed and none of your flank tattoos would be affected. Typically tattoos and scars between the belly button and top of pubic hair are removed. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery. Good Luck!

Wait time after weight loss before having plastic surgery? When should I starting to have consultations?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Congratulations on your weight loss! I would recommend waiting about 3 months at a stable weight to be nutritionally sound before scheduling surgery. This would optimize your healing. Keep up the great work!

My lips have dropped on one slide looking like a slight stroke. I had lip filler 3 days a go is this normal?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Sorry to hear about this. Having a in person exam is crucial to determine the cause and my recommendation is to see the injector for an evaluation. This could very well be a result of swelling or filler placement. Wishing you the best!

Can breast implants look natural?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Yes

Many women who choose moderate sized implants and had adequate breast tissue look totally normal with a "naturally curvy figure" after augmentation

Unnatural results are common in women who go too large for their natural breast volume or have very small breasts

Dr.Workman is a miracle worker!!!

I have wanted a tummy tuck since my son was born 10 years ago! I have known Dr. Workman for years because the doctor I work for, a facial plastic surgeon, refers our patients to Workman for body work. His office is nicely decorated, Dawn the coordinator is awesome and the nursing staff, especially Olivia is so sweet and caring! It has been exactly a week from my tummy tuck and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results so far!! Updated on 28 Nov 2020: I got my drains out yesterday! What a crazy feeling it is when those are pulled out! Had a rough night of sleep. Still taking Percocet and muscle spasm relaxers. Not as often but definitely still needed. I am swollen today and more so on the left side. I am just still so amazed by the results!!???? Updated on 30 Nov 2020: I have lost 11 pounds since surgery! ???? 3.5 of it was my belly they took off. I am so excited! Right side is more swollen then my left. Hopefully that’s ok. Does any one know a good trick to get all the tape residue off? Updated on 2 Dec 2020: 15 days post op! First day back at work was tough! I wore a spanx compression garment and a corset binder. :)

Dr. Miracle Worker Workman!

Dr. Michael Workman is an outstanding, well educated & excellent choice when it comes to cosmetic surgery. I had a tummy tuck done by him, I visited 3 other providers besides Dr. Workman and he was the only surgeon that shot me straight about the risks and why he would recommend a tummy tuck sans lipo and the reason why. Not only does he have impeccable bedside manner, he is sincere and operates with the patients best interest at heart. I would recommend to anyone who wants a skilled, knowledgeable, kind surgeon.

Pre-op

I have had my consult and paid my deposit - booked for a TT, MR, and Arm lift for February 20th with Dr Workman! I am super excited to see my body without the excess skin. I should go for my preop appointment with the nurse on April 2nd and will keep updating this throughout the process. Updated on 26 Jun 2020: Because covid shut down elective procedures, mine was rescheduled for the end of May. Unfortunately, my fiancé and I also lost our jobs. With all of the uncertainty we decided to move back home with family and I ended up having my procedure with Dr. Dulin in Plano, Texas instead!

Loving my body again!

Dr. Workman has transformed my post baby body to one I can be proud of again! I got a tummy tuck and liposuction of inner thigh! Not cheap but well worth it! I live in Oregon but drove the distance to get the work done by someone who has a great reputation. Highly recommend!!!

565 Sientra Breast Augmentation without lift

Dr. Workman and his team were amazing. It has only been 8 days and I am already so happy with my results. I am 5’5” 150lbs I have 3 children that I nursed We did a breast augmentation with sientra 565cc high profile implants. Updated on 25 Jun 2019: It’s been 3 weeks and I am still so very pleased with my results! I haven’t exactly taken it easy being a mother of 3. My right breast is definitely more “relaxed” I think because I am right handed so obviously has more movement. I am still doing massages daily.

Breast Surgery and Tummy Tuck

I had breast surgery and a tummy tuck from Dr. Workman. I was very impressed with Dr. Workman and the entire staff. I was treated with care and professionalism from all staff. I am very happy with my results and have recommended Dr. Workman to many friends and family.

Arm Lift

My Hero!

Dr. Workman is my hero! He performed both a tummy tuck and arm lift after I lost about 50lbs. My arms look unbelievable and scarring has been minimal. I can’t believe how balanced my upper arms are with my lower arms. They look so natural. How does he do it? My tummy looks great! I love the way I look. I feel sexy and attractive after years of feeling fat and unattractive. Dr. Workman is an artist and a gentleman who puts you at ease at the first meeting. Friends and family ask if I would go through these procedures again. I say, “In a heartbeat.” Updated on 18 Sep 2018: It’s now been 4 1/2 months. Here’s my before and after photos showing amazing results. My scars are healing very well. I can wear short sleeves without covering with makeup. I’m so happy since I am 66 and didn’t expect to heal this well! I can’t thank Dr. Workman enough.

amazing dr. and staff....

I've been seeing Dr. Workman and going to his office for over 8 years now. He's done many things including my breast augmentation. He has an awesome staff and he himself has a great bedside manner. I have had nothing but excellent service and results from him and/or his staff. I have referred several patients and they have also been extremely happy with the work done by him. I couldn't be happier with my choice on a plastic surgeon. I still recommend him every time I hear or talk to a friend about having cosmetic surgery. I love knowing that as a repeat patient, over all the years, i still can happily say or refer anyone I know to his office. He is definitely highly recommended and #1 in my book.

CoolSculpting

So Happy I Did Coolsculpting!

I have to admit I was prwrry nervous about doing Coolsculpting with Melody. I had done research online prior to and watch videos on YouTube about it and I thought it was going to be pretty painful. But I am so happy I went through with it. It did not hurt at all like I thought it would. It was more of just an uncomfortable cold but not bad at all! Melody was so sweet and constantly made sure I was doing okay. I am very happy with my results and would highly recommend doing Coolsculpting at Dr. Workman's office!
