First Time Mom Suffering from BII

Being a first-time mom of a 5-month-old is a hard enough job in itself, but add a laundry list of BII symptoms and it becomes a complete game changer. One symptom, in particular, was the number one issue for me, which was severe inflammation inside of my L5 vertebrae. To even get this diagnosis took me months of visiting different doctors (from orthopedic doctors to an oncologist), several...

Q: Is a 450CC implant too big for my body? Also concerned about additional stretch marks (Photo)
Answered by Dr. WhitfieldJune 17, 2020

A: If you want increased upper pole fullness and an improvement in the torso at the same time performing a lift that shift the breast tissue and fold higher allows you to use a smaller implant and have improved aesthetics.

Q: How many millimeters or centimeters can the areola be reduced in size with a donut lift?
Answered by Dr. WhitfieldMarch 29, 2020

A: There is a range of 1-4 cms.  Normally taking up to 4cm around the circle creates flattening.  The skin excess can be addressed well with this technique.

Q: Does Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar help reduce post-procedure downtime?
Answered by Dr. WhitfieldDecember 1, 2019

A: I use RSN with each Fractora and Morpheus8 microneedling treatment.  Since I perform Accutite, Facetite, Bodytite and EmbraceRF I am using the products more frequently in these cases as will.  It reduces any redness in just a few days. 

Q: How is SmartGraft different from regular FUE?
Answered by Dr. WhitfieldFebruary 21, 2019

A: I explain it as I would if I were protecting an organ transplant.  The Hair Follicle Unites are extracted in a contained system and protect from heat and the air which would dry them out.  The SmartGraft technology improves FUE survival this way.  That is why I use SmartGraft to provide the best option for my clients.

Q: How long does it take for donor area to blend in with the rest of the hair? (Photos)
Answered by Dr. WhitfieldSeptember 30, 2018

A: Using SmartGraft the donor site has 1mm areas where the hair follicle was removed.  These heal within 1 week.
