Everything about my experience with Dr Maas qualifies for the 5star rating. The office is comfortable, the staff are professional and Dr Maas is an expert in the field. The Botox injections were perfect - no bruises and very natural looking. As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
I feel like I tried everything under the sun to try and resolve my long-standing acne scars. I’ve done the e matrix laser, aggressive pixel lasering, and I’ve done a bunch of clear and brilliant. Since meeting Dr Maas, I realize that Deep and Active is the way to go. During the procedure he marks individual scars he wants to focus on and uses the laser to pull down the shoulders of bat...
1997 is the first time I had a procedure done by Dr. Maas. As an esthetician and RN, it doesn't get any better than Dr. Maas. He has maintained his integrity, treats every visit like the first time, he has an integrity and code that has not lessened or weakened. He is a superstar in his field and a dedicated researcher.
Dr Maas is one of the most compassionate and skilled cosmetic surgeons I’ve ever been to. His attention to detail and natural aesthetic combined with decades of experience helps address any concerns. I couldn’t help but read the negative reviews m, and after carefully reading these patients on other websites have posted other cosmetic procedures not done by Dt. Maas and their unhappiness. Thi...

A: There are several options available to you at age 42 that may be considered, all FDA approved. Sofwav, Utherapy, maybe Kybella or Coolsculpting and even loliposuction under the chin (submental lipo) could work but on your photos, it looks more like a predominate skin problem (not fat). You need to see a surgeon to give you all of your options, show what each might provide, so that you can make an informed decision.
A: In your case their may be problem but generally the healing and changes are not over until one year. I suggest you to be forthright about the appearance of your nose relative to the features you wanted. Tell the surgeon how you feel. Your surgeon has recorded your desired appearance in your chart and/or with photo morphing (changing your nose to on the computer). In my experience (over 3000 nose surgeries) about 1/3 of those revision rhinoplasties. When they come to me right after surgery, patients are frustrated if 1) the desired result was not achieved as recorded before the surgery, there is an undesirable result with bumps or asymmetries AND 3) the surgeon disagrees with the patient on the outcome. Have the surgeon show you before the before and after results or read the goals to you. If your surgeon agrees and asks you to wait and reassures you that they will do their best to achieve a result AND you trust the your surgeon, then you should listen and wait. If your surgeon is unable “to see” your concern or tells you it is what you wanted and it is clearly not a desirable result, you would be justified in seeking a second opinion. Remember, this will cost you more money, and only your surgeon has seen and understands your anatomy…still you have to trust your surgeon if a revision is being considered.
A: From the limited views you have provided, top refinement including improving a hanging infratip lobule and refining the tip would be helpful. You might consider updating your submission with a lateral view.
A: He simplest and most reliable way to fix this is to have a good surgeon use a drop of local then a moderate sized needle to poke and express the excess material.
A: Unfortunately there is not a simple answer to your question. It will depend on how many times treated, presence or absence of scar tissue, and which filler was used…the last being most important. Depending upon what was used and where, most patients will be able to get this resolved without surgery. Based on your lip anatomy, a lip lift would be a much better and more suitable long term option after the visible filler and/or scar tissue is managed. is
